Can I just say, as a fanbase, we are so lucky to have Tony Jones on the beat?

Tony Jones is great, he discerns more than what the PR machines of organizations emphasize and does so tactfully, IMO.

I recognize and am grateful for Tony's awesomeness.

I do think it's interesting that Jordan is losing all of this weight at a time when we're looking very small in the front court. I believe this will probably make him a better overall player next year, but the timing is a bit interesting given our roster construction next year.

Olson to log PF minutes with Bach/Kova at C? Maybe some good small ball lineups?

I like both of these ideas. Having two bigs or going small.........makes game planning for us a bit more difficult!

Maybe, but that's not a lot of depth, and also relies a lot on three guys who have either never played D-1 ball or never played very significant minutes.

Another thing to keep in mind...........I think Jordan had some back problems last year ?

If so, 25 pounds less can only help in that department.

On the plus side, it will be easier to tell Chapman that he can waltz right in and play 30 minutes or more a night!

Man, I hope we land that kid!

Saw Loveridge on campus this morning.

Skinnier, but more buff. I think all he lost was some of that baby fat.
