Stain

The whole board should take the bet. Good excuse to go drinking @ Dana's. I'll be flying in from CO to collect.

With pot being legal out there now you probably don't even need a plane to "fly" in.

I will need a loan.

I think he means bet against me. I'll owe everyone a beer.

He only had 10+ rebounds like 4 or 5 tims tops this year.

I don't see that going up when Jalen is his wing man.

Jalen will prolly average more boards than stain next year honestly.

Nine times this past year, and his injury probably prevented at least one more.

I think he can do it if his off season workouts increase his vertical jump from 2" to 3"

But only if he develops a, errrrr, "jump off one foot".

He's such a good passer that I think that would be a mistake. Frankly, he's a better passer than he is anything else. I expect Jalen to be good enough next year that doubling Matt will be a real mistake. It will particularly be a mistake if we can find a couple of reliable outside shooters on the roster. Fingers crossed.

Hopefully we have enough offense where that would be a mistake. Maybe I'm wrong, but I felt he was doubled most of the big east season. Don't see that changing.

True, but at 7.4 boards, there's not much of a jump to 10 if he can up his minutes. raise his PT from 24 to 30+ minutes and 10 boards is achievable. If. as he says, he can cut his weight and muscle up that increase of 25% is easily doable.

My freshman year Bob Pelkington averaged 21 boards a game (best in the country beating out the great Paul Silas of Creighton). Think how difficult that is given today's rebound stats. Of course X shot a lot and scored a lot that year, but still....

Bob "the Bird" Pelkington surely has arthritis in both elbows by now. He was a windmill in the post and never backed down from a scuffle.
