It’ll be a good evening of Aggie basketball at the Golden 1

just got a chance to read the article and it says at Hawaii on 2/5 and at csuf on 3/5. It also says that the game at the golden 1 center vs suc state is a doubleheader with the Aggie women.

Regarding Lambey, always good to add a wing with good size that can shoot the 3. I'm a little cautious to hope for too much from a JC transfer this late in the process, but we'll see what he can provide.

If I remember correctly, Carrion originally committed to the beach (I think) then flipped to us. Seems like she would have been in line for some significant time here, but I hope she finds what she's looking for closer to home. Agree about Langi's potential. I watched a few minutes of video and it looks like she can create off the dribble, which is something i think the Ags are missing. We run a good solid offense, but against a top tier team, we sometimes need a player to just go out there and create a shot. Turner can do that, but at 5'8", she's somewhat limited.

Well if we were “concerned” about back court depth for the WBB, this doesn’t help. Allie Carrion is not listed on the 21-22 roster. With Trpcic gone and Campbell recovering, I guess we’ll see a bunch of Hall initiating the offense. And some of the freshman are going to need to step up and provide valuable minutes.

New floor to go along with the new video board

Hopefully we get our complete schedule out soon.

I agree with you on the pace of play. There are certainly some rules that I’d like to see the NBA adopt.

USA wins the gold. KD leads on the offense but the game was won by Draymond, Adebayo, Holiday, and Bookers defense. Pretty entertaining game against France. Their size caused problems but the hustling US defense made some critical stops.

ah you’re right. Maybe they’ll add one

Sorry to see the Caroll boys go. I’ve known them since little league. Good kids from a good family. This does not bode well for the Aggie program

That game against PSU in Davis will be an interesting one.

Personally, I don't really care if they want to add cheerleading as an Olympic sport. If I don't like it, I won't watch. I haven't seen enough competitive cheerleading (especially international cheerleading) to know if it's a viable sport worldwide, but the Olympics is constantly adding and dropping events. New events are tested to see if there is interest in them, but If people don't embrace it, or in other words, there's not a positive return on the investment, it'll get dropped. By the way, tug-of-war used to be a track and field event in the early 1900's. I'd be in favor of bringing that one back!

I think that's a good game plan. Most teams that we'll play won't have a dominant inside game, so hopefully Anigwe can stay out of foul trouble. But it will certainly be a key to many of the games. I am optimistic that Murphy can give us some quality minutes. He showed glimpses, in limited action last year, of being an effective interior defender. And it will be interesting to see if Bora's time with the Italian U19 team accelerates his development.

I agree! I think there are a lot of givens on this team. I'm pretty sure Manjon, Pepper, Fuller, Anigwe all give us basically what they gave us last year (or maybe a step higher). I hope we get another contributor in the middle, either Bora, Murphy or McGill, and someone who fills in for Squire's minutes, Milling and Ba I would think. If that all comes together, we should be very competitive.

Thanks BGA! That's one of the better OOCs that I can remember.

And Utah St. Seems like the OOC is coming together quite well

There's probably several ways to look at "smallest" aggie team in D1, factoring in height with playing minutes, position. Some guys will play different from their listed size. JT was one that played big. Even though he was listed at 6'7", his physical nature and athleticism allowed him to protect the rim on defense and push "bigger" guys around. Where as AJ John, listed at 6'8", played more like a 6'4" wing. Not criticizing his play, but his skill set was more a traditional outside player.

But, just out of curiosity, I took the average height of a couple of teams. the 12-13 and 16-17 teams both averaged 6'4". Last year and this years team average 6'5". Your point is valid, though, as I'm sure there will be plenty of times where we see 6'5" as the tallest aggie on the court.

A little article about how DeBruhl found his way to Davis. Sounds like he’ll be asked to do quite a bit this season https://scorebooklive.com/washington/2021/07/26/leo-debruhls-up-and-down-recruiting-journey-ends-with-late-surprise-2021-commitment-to-uc-davis/

Here’s the official notice. Looks like he’s coming this fall. Should really help with our outside shooting.
