nash has had 2 yrs to recruit. given that first year he had little time to recruit although many jc guys were still available. let’s look at the numbers:

2007 5 frontcourt players
1 pointguard

2008 4 frontcourt players
1 er, shooting guard

going in to the 2007 recruiting season, our glaring weakness was/has been point guard. knowing who was graduating, we knew what the weaknesses would be in the years to follow, point guard and shooting guard. in spite of the transition in 2007, jackson wheeler was still on payroll as the chief recruiting coordinator. you could hang this on him.

2008, why didn’t we bring in 3-4 point guards/shooters? hang this one on nash.

i joke that because he was a frontcourt player and his top asst was one also, that, they become enamored with the big guys and forget who will get them the ball or take the outside shot (w/consistency).

i agree that the flex is great but you need guys who can pop from outside to make that one work. we should employ a short game with 10 footers and cuts to the basket.

Kekoa – are jealous cuz I didn’t leave any cake for you? 😆

I just sent you an email. Hope all is well on the ceded lands.

I agree with your comment in #338 about Homey being a strong show at the T-gates. He really shined at the grill and with his marinating skills. Even though his knife got taken away by Ralph who did a terrific job with it.

702WarriorNation- while I was on hold to talk to L&L yesterday, there was a commercial on 1500 advertising for an Internet specialist for the station- who would be in charge of their whole Internet marketing program. Needed to be familiar wih Photoshop, etc.
Perhaps a streaming channel may be art of that too- I HOPE!!
I can only catch them while driving into the airport to pick up my boss once a week.

Whoosh!

Was good to meet you at the cc! Too bad didn’t get chance to talk story more. I loved that story about your parents being off your radar when they moved. Will send you link shortly.

A-Joe ~ A similar scam was run in the banking industry years ago when they arrested a senior teller. She was skimming small amounts from thousands of checking accounts every day. She knew most folks never bother to reconcile their accounts to the penny, so that’s what she ‘banked’ on.

James ~ I’ll be in the Puzzle Palace this afternoon. I’ll stop in to make sure Aunty Linda still has you on the payroll. (Maybe sample some of the bubbly they are saving for opening day).

DPK ~ Good Morning to you sir! I’m looking forward to your being the Grand Marshall of the Punchbowl Holy Ghost Parade this year.

Homey ~ I was impressed with your strong showing at the t-gate this past season. I think you are an EIS inspector in the making! We need to talk about getting you certified.
