Re: Davidson's Best 15 Players

JonAxel was pretty darn good, especially his final season.

Re: Portal

Odds are they would have stayed four years were it not for the damned portal. Que sera sera.

Re: The Bright Side of Not Being in Brooklyn Now

I spent quite a bit of time in the Big Apple between the early 90’s and the first few years of the 2010’s. I even met my future wife there in the early 1980’s, so I have lots of fond memories. Unfortunately, however, the sad saga that has transpired there over the past decade or so was largely preve...

Re: In Game: A-10 Round One vs Fordham

Thanks for chiming in on Burleson. He was an all-time great, and as fundamentally sound a player as you will ever see.

Re: In Game: A-10 Round One vs Fordham

Burleson often shot and made fifteen foot jumpers. He was by no means one dimensional. Regarding Luka and Brooks, both scored most of their points in the paint. They also occasionally nailed three’s as well.

Re: In Game: A-10 Round One vs Fordham

I beg to differ. Smart and effective low post moves will never go out of style. Just ask DeMon Brooks and Luka.

Re: This Season - A Tale of Shooting (or Lack Thereof)

Our shooting was simply atrocious. In my nearly sixty years of watching college basketball, I don’t recall anything quite like it; especially at Davidson. We have to find a way to get guys like Durkin more open looks. A low post presence is imperative for this to happen. If a couple roster spots ope...

Re: In Game: A-10 Round One vs Fordham

Tommy, Burleson, one of the all-time great centers in college basketball, lives just up the road in Newland, North Carolina. He runs a basketball camp every summer. I’m sure he would be glad to work with our big men.

Re: This Season - A Tale of Shooting (or Lack Thereof)

If next October, during the season ticket holder gathering preview, the coaches once again tell us three point shooting is much improved and that they’re thirteen deep, I’ll be highly skeptical. They overpromised this year. Rookie coaching mistake.

Grant deserved better. I predict nothing but success for him in life. He will be missed.

Re: In Game: A-10 Round One vs Fordham

But at least according to the color guy on the game Skogman will return next season. Big news if accurate. Go Cats!

Re: 24-25 Roster

The former LaSalle head coach who is doing commentary for today’s game mentioned that Skogman is coming back. Hope he’s right.

Re: In Game: at St. Joe's

Maybe someone here with the appropriate gravitas can ask the AD what is happening with NIL. I think fans and season ticket holders have a right to know such info, at least in terms of how much money is involved. As I've mentioned before, Steph could solve our NIL funding problems in one fell swoop.
