Good to hear.

Could very well lead him to starting minutes.

ya know, admittedly I didn’t ask - I just got a message from the inside that Doutrive has been “dominating“ in practice so far

I don’t respond or inquire further anymore - just pass along as thats what the intent of the message was for in the first place.

Fuck yeah!

Love the info, thanks 97.

DD is a fan favorite and I’m choosing to interpret this as him dominating on D.

goslingswagg · Post by **goslingswagg** » Fri Oct 25, 2019 10:41 am

goddamn 97 you know how to make me get hyped...Baker + a seriously improved DD means this team will be very very good.

Yeah I get it. It just seems that almost always 1 or more of the incoming players gets over hyped and doesn't live up to the billing (at least right away)

Awesome. I hope DD is not only an asset this year, but ready to lead a young wing rotation next year.

100% and who knows how good the other players have been in practice, he could be dominating crap for all I know.

if it means anything, the same player mentioned above last year was talked about very differently just one year ago - not sure what that means if anything but interesting if nothing else

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Fri Oct 25, 2019 12:10 pm

Thank you, 97.

Honestly, is there anyone here who can't picture Doutrive as the best player on a college basketball court? Last year he was severely limited by his team defense and off-the-court issues. But even as a freshman in very limited minutes, he flashed with all kinds of star-studded glean. Just a step ahead, flying a cubit higher, and with a softer touch than everyone else. If somehow he turned around the other stuff, this insider report here makes perfect sense.

so since Al picked at my curiosity, and I have a soft spot for Al, I did what I normally don’t and inquired on potential starting rotation/best players so far - here was the exact response two minutes ago:

Nico, Jamal or dnaire, josh, zeke, chase jeter

Who's this Jamal guy and is he good?

Just joking.

When did we last start three freshmen? Maybe that Kobi, Rawle, Lauri team?

Not as fast as Kobi's minutes faded.

His minutes fell off a cliff.

That was definitely part of it, but he had 33 min and 4 games of 27 min after Trier returned.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Fri Oct 25, 2019 7:31 pm

Probably in the first 3 or 4 games. No doubt AT’s offensive efficiency was needed but it would have been nice to find an expanded role for KS off the bench

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Sun Oct 27, 2019 3:21 pm

So it was that Lauri team. And it was only because Trier was out.

I don’t think we’ve had many teams that started 3 freshmen. Not sure Miller had one prior to that Lauri team. Not even Lute had very many. It’s possible there was a team from the Gardner/Arenas/RJ/Wright era with 3+ freshmen starters.

We’re not like Duke and UK who’ve had several teams start 3 freshmen.

RJ didn’t start as a freshman, did he?

Snowden started 5 freshmen.

I'm sure we are all disappointed with DD and his suspension. ESPN is up to their normal accurate reporting on the matter. Here is what they have to say "Doutrive was a five-star recruit from Southern California in the 2018 class and was expected to have an immediate impact as a freshman. The athletic 6-foot-5 guard showed flashes last season but was inconsistent, averaging 3.3 points and 3.0 rebounds while playing 26 of 32 games.
Jeez had another 5 star I didn't know about.

Josiah and yeah that was a mess. Doutrive was dumb, but he's far from Josiah Turner dumb. Unless 97 has heard something differently, as far as I know his exact punishment is up in the air.

It was an in house test, we handle it the way we want to handle it. If it was a NCAA test it'd be much tougher, which is why you handle it now before this shit happens as you enter the NCAA tournament.
