I think that's him to the left of Cameron Johnson (#3).
Not so secret scrimmages:
Stephen F. Austin 10/19 vs. Troy in Jackson, Mississippi; 10/26 at Rice

Little surprised McNeese got two on the board. I could also have seen one of the UCA guys in the first team, but overall I think it's actually the best preseason list I've seen in a while.

Kennedy and Brown are a pretty solid duo for McNeese. If there's a dark horse on that list for me, it's Roydell Brown, almost averaged a double-double last year.
Too many unknown faces on the Jacks this year to have anyone else selected. By the end of the year and the naming of the post-season teams, you can bet that will not be the case. And I'm not just being a homer. There are other potential All-Conference studs on this team. The team has a goal of a 30-win season. Not sure if 30 is possible, but 25 definitely is.

Who voted on this? The Bearkats 2nd?
They know the Delaney brothers graduated right?

Yeah I was surprised to see them that high too. Kai Mitchell is a really good player returning, but they also lost Marcus Harris. They brought in a decent grad transfer from Elon.TallTexan said:

The problem with our league, and really all low Mid-Major leagues, is when the known players leave they are replaced with unknown/less covered freshmen and JUCOs. The Bearkats were picked 6th in last years preseason poll, nobody really knew how good their new guys would be. And that's really the story every year.
What were we picked last year? Oh yeah I just remembered...
I think 4th is just about right.
It says "We know you guys were horrible last year, but we think you've overcome the obstacles that stood in your way, but we know you only have one real commodity (Kevon) that is a proven player, but we're pretty sure you have a good group of recruits coming in, but we have to wait and see them play, but were pretty sure you have a coach that is capable of leading you to great seasons, but were also sure he was in charge last year...so 4th, it is."

Great interpretation.

That reads like an SLC official press release.
Nice! Last four years with the Rockets - last two as the Assistant Coach of Advanced Operations. Sounds like an opponent scouting specialist. Before that with A&M with Keller.
We must earn the respect again. We need to hit it hard and not look back. This year other teams will have to have a new game plan because last years won't work this year.
Some awesome analytics will help but the biggest piece is jelling and playing good positional basketball. I think the mix of talent we have may lend itself better to accelerating the learning curve.

Thanks for posting. Vanya will bring unique analytical skills to the Jacks.
Any coach with nba experience is a big plus
Jack Madness is on Oct 25th!? A Friday night in East Texas? Anyone heard of Friday night football? What's up with that scheduling?

That's what we always do. It's a part of the homecoming weekend, along with the bonfire after Jack Madness.

Anyone remember our Mardi Gras Madness? Don't really remember why they did that, but I still have a shirt from it.
I had a plastic basketball and a lot of beads from it. Pretty sure a student swiped or broke the ball early in my teaching career. Learned the hard way keeping a mini goal in your classroom isn't the best idea...PurpleOut said:I remember the old days when everyone had it a midnight. Nobody would attend though.cboothe09 said:
