Re: Welcome Zach Laput!

But I’m irritated by the repeated (mostly implicit) comments that those of us who believe Davidson should maintain the eligibility criteria it’s always had are evincing hostility to Laput.
I am maybe in a minority here, but I didn't read into these posts any (even implied) imputation of hostility.

Re: Welcome Joe Hurlburt!

He was extremely productive in high school: https://colorado.rivals.com/news/joe-hurlburt-nearing-the-end-of-a-prolific-high-school-career Congratulations to him and the coaches. He appears to be a great fit. The Davidson system should give him opportunities to shoot it from outside and use his pas...

Re: Portal

I wonder how long we have to wait until athletes can transfer mid-season? Start well and get called up? Get hurt and get sent to the Big South on a rehab assignment? Sure. Why not? NCAA can't stop anything at this point. There’s an Alabama football player who has entered the portal 3 times since mi...

Re: Welcome Zach Laput!

Welcome, Zach. It's the offseason, so we have to have to have something to talk about/debate. But we are VERY happy that you are a Wildcat.

Re: Bad news for Dayton

Effective field goal percentage is weighted for three pointers but also factors in two point FG percentage I had always thought that the formula also accounted for FT%. I see now that FT's can be used in a subtractive way in the formula (total points - ft points), but do not impact the final EFG fi...

Re: Portal

If you are a K-State fan you were rooting for a guy who had (at best) a tangential relationship to your school. Although I don't think the young man played all that much. K-State season ticket (basketball) holder 1978-79 Those were salad days for K-State basketball, no? Reylando Blackmon (sp?).

Re: $10 says this will never have relevance for Davidson

Scarier even than The Portal. So much pressure on young athletes already, then to add proposition betting to the list of things for which others might be disappointed in their performance. Scary and sad.

Re: Steph update

Convincing win over the Lakers last night. The Big Three, The Splash Brothers, the Rookies, Maple Jordan, and other affiliated groups and individuals showed up and showed out in Los Angeles last night. 26 threes (at 63%!), 37 assists and 12 blocked shots, pretty much tells the story of the Dubs' dom...
