I caught a little bit of the Gottfried radio show tonight. Gottfried said he was disappointed that the photo of the jerseys got out. He wanted it to be a surprise.

Reynolds has needed that for a long time. Looks good, hope they install new windows up top too to allow light in.

I've got mixed feelings about the Reynolds thing. While I like the idea of a smaller court that helps the women's atmosphere, guarantees a sellout for the men's game, and reduces the impact of the building's weird shape, I'm not so sure about shitcanning 1/3rd of such an important building.

I like the idea of keeping Reynolds in it's original form, but honestly it needs to be renovated. I never liked the elongated inside that made for such an awkward space. (I know the history behind why it was built that way, but it's not practical) I've been to a billion different sporting events throughout my life inside Reynolds, but I'm excited if they rejuvenate it, while keeping the old school feel.

Case wanted to make sure Reynolds had a larger capacity than Cameron, but the main beams on the sides had already been put into the ground, so they had to elongate the arena to meet his request.

Does anyone know if the Reynolds plan involves creating a better plaza out front? It's kind of bland right now with that unnecessary driveway.

ZoDiddley's jersey is the sewn authentic, I imagine the ones on gopack.com are identical to the pic from the previous page

i say that cause the camera zoomed in on one today during the ESPNU practice and you could see the texture on the number

still dope imo

This guy's preseason insight was pretty spot on.
Quote :
"
God, I'm still very optimistic for the season but our expectations are really out of control nationally.

Let's look at this objectively. We weren't a very good team last season until the very last few weeks of the season.

Realistically, our best two accomplishments were close losses to Kansas and UNC who were very, very good teams and clearly amongst the best in the country. That shows that at our peak we could play with anyone, but those were still losses.

Next, I'd put our win over Georgetown as an obvious third. Georgetown was a top team last year, but they played really poorly against us and had some early foul problems. It was still without a doubt a great win, but it's not that we really went toe to toe with them and took them out as much as it was they had a really off game that day. I don't think we played nearly as well in the win over Georgetown as we did in the losses to KU and UNC.

Next, I'd probably put our victory over Miami where we really played well and gathering a sweep over a good UM team was a nice resume builder for us.

Our win over UVA was memorable because of the stakes at hand, but they were playing terribly over the last month or so of the season. SDSU wasn't really NCAA-t type competition so they were a lucky draw for us.



Okay, so we're returning a lot of guys so obviously we can expect to improve but let's look a little closer.

1) Scott Wood and Richard Howell are an excellent 3 point shooter and rebounder, respectively. They're already an A+ in this category so we can't realistically expect much improvement in this area. Other than that they are somewhat one dimensional and are seniors so I don't think it's realistic to expect monumental improvement elsewhere except perhaps Howell's conditioning.

2) ZoBoJo's and CJello must improve monumentally to justify our National Contender status. Some improvement is to be expected of course since Zoboloft has had a full year to run the point and seemed to really come into his own at the end of the season as he gained confidence. C-Jaylo should have continued to improve his strength, athleticism, and shooting touch which will obviously be huge. The real concern with these guys though is what happens if the team underachieves early? They've been through some adversity in their careers already. Will they come together or will they start looking out for their own draft stock or fold under the pressure? It's easy to forget that sometimes players REGRESS rather than improve. I expect them to improve, but it's not exactly a tiny step they are expected to take if we're going to be national contenders.

3) Will Purvis as a freshman be better than CJoWo was as a senior? Tough call. CJoWo was still a double figure scorer and was a solid rebounder/defender. Even highly rated freshmen sometimes struggle to adapt to the college game, though SG is one of the easier spots to contribute from right away.

4) Our bench. Does Vandy adequately replace Painter? Will Lewis and Warren add a lift or will they be just marginal rotation players? Will TDT add anything?

5) Offensively there is obviously a ton of talent and we'll probably be near the top of the country. Defensively, we still have to prove that we can compete at a high level. We did it for a few games at the end of last season, but we'll need to see if with all this hype we still put in the work on the defensive end or if we just expect our talent to carry us without it.

There are a lot of question marks on this team. I think we're definitely a legit top 25 team assuming modest improvements, but it's quite a leap to go from being a top ~60 team last year to a top 5 team this year like some people seem to expect.

I just hope people don't forget to be excited if we're closer to a top 25 team than a top 5 one.

Credit to Sidney Lowe for putting together a great roster and hopefully credit to Gottfried for getting these guys to play great this year."

^^^yeah the ones for sale look kinda questionable. I think I would need to see it in person first.

[Edited on November 29, 2012 at 11:10 PM. Reason : .]

They're def different because the gopack version doesn't have the net coming down over the lettering on the back. I'd appreciate if someone could post a pic of the one they bought. Might help me decide if I want one once they're all sold out.
