Can anybody on here prove Skip is just a fan and not, as an example, one of the skippers of our basketball team?

Yes. Dennis is playing Lead/Point Guard.
Smith played okay for his first time out. Had a couple of baskets and shot several FTs. Also had a few offensive rebs. Grayer split time with Diante at the 4. He played okay too. Pearson didn't play very much but did score while he was in.

are you asking if anyone has seen skip and a member of the coaching staff in the same place at the same time?

the article from the fwst about the secret scrimmage provided some numbers on shooting and the frogs didn't exactly shoot well if those numbers were accurate.
roughly 43% from the floor and 30% from behind the 3-point line. i don't recall if the article provided any individual shooting numbers.
"As a team, the Frogs shot 43.1 percent from the field (25-of-58) and 30.8 percent from 3-point range (8-of-26)."

I want to personally thank Skip for the best content I have ever read on this message board! Thanks Skip whoever you are.
Skip are we going to be close to TEXAS Tech defense this year?

Didn't the New England Patriots get in trouble for lack of ball pressure?

I'm more interested in Barlow's performance. I'm more concerned about the 5 behind Samuel than anything else on this team.

My main concerns going into 2019-20 are twofold: health and FT shooting. If the frogs can stay healthy, rotate 10 scholarship players on a regular basis all season long, and shoot 70% as a team from the FT line, I will be a happy fan because more wins will come.

I think this year's team should be better than last year. I'm expecting them to struggle a little early (due to so many newcomers) but by the conference games, they should be pretty good.
It will take a little time to get the playing rotations settled and everyone to know their roles. As I've mentioned before, everybody should really like the Freshmen. Should be a fun year.

I would label the defensive effort as 'fair'. But that's expected out of a young team. Defense is by far the biggest adjustment freshmen have to make. H.S. defense and college defense is night and day. It takes awhile to learn all of the defensive coverages and assignments, not to mention trying to execute a game plan.
While there were 17 TOs, way too many fouls were committed (22). Most were mental errors (late on a 'help', bad rotations (help the helper), bad ball screen placement, bad footwork, etc.). That will get better. Might see this team play some zone in the non-conference portion of the schedule.

IMO, it's going to be a good rebounding team. I think the rebounds will be spread out though. All of the perimeter guys are good rebounders
This team has the potential to be an outstanding offensive rebounding team. The ability to spread the floor, anticipate shot locations and use their foot speed would allow this team some 'easy' baskets. Best time to get a step in 3 is off an offensive rebound.
That being said, you have to commit to it. Most coaches nowadays like to get everyone back so they don't give up anything 'easy' in transition.
