Then maybe I shouldn't do my parody "Poisson d'avril" to the tune of "Poison Ivy."

The recording dates to before I was a teenager, but according to Wikipedia, it was later covered by the Monkees, and influenced a song by Bob Dylan.

The other night we painted posters.
We played some records by The Coasters.
Wah, wah, wah, wah.

With two players next year named Jones, I should have a chance to begin my Colt 45 vote with

"And then . . . And then . . . And then . . ."

Are the lyrics in English or French? Either way, I'd like to see them (I'm quite familiar with the melody).

French, but long forgotten. That was from my high school days, and I probably didn't do much more than the chorus. Knowing me, there were probably stupid puns on English.

Sort of like when were reading that Gil Blas was "franc et honnêtte" and I decided to bring up beach party movies of the period.

Just a quick reminder, Jack Gibbs didn’t start a game as a freshman and came off the bench and averaged only 20 minutes a game… I daresay Kellan has the opportunity to surpass Jack’s career.
I don't think anyone is questioning his talent, he clearly has a chance to be an all time davidson great without question. However, many here seem to want a true point guard; Kellan averages under 2 assists a game. Kellan has shown a willingness to drive but I think its completely fair for people to want a shifty/quick guard who creates for others before himself.
Grady is still just a freshman. He will be amazing before he is done.
No one is arguing this point; he is already amazing (one of our best players). I'm just saying I understnd why some want a true point guard. Grady isn't used as a pass first point guard by the way nor should he. His incredible talents are accentuated by how we use him now. He plays alot like Paul Pierce instead of Chris Paul, a focal point but not a floor general.

We didn't have a true point guard in 2014-2015 and things worked out okay.

I may be wrong but out offensive system seems to de-emphasize the need for a dominant ball handler.

"I may be wrong but out offensive system seems to de-emphasize the need for a dominant ball handler."

My point exactly.

Yes, I think it is less of an issue of needing purer point guard material and more of needing floor experience for SO and FY guards who are in the process of figuring it out.

We need some real news here soon

Post by **collegecoach8502** » Tue Jan 09, 2018 12:56 am

What's the panic? We have 3, perhaps 4 commits for next year.

In addition to the incoming recruits, Luke will be a freshman next year, too.

One of our assistant coaches needs to be combing JUCO rosters for a big man who qualified academically, but was overlooked.

Baseball has a 1B from Brunswick Community College, so don't say it can't be done.

I know that folks are anxious for recruiting news. I am assuming that since we are past the early signing period we may likely not receive recruiting news until the late signing period in April. If we have not identified transfer candidates already, i.e., those who sought a new school by the spring semester, then we may not learn of transfer possibilities either until late spring.

You rang? I've got this in a spreadsheet, that I'll dig up later. I missed this when it was originally posted.
