That was a beautiful, clean play by Hamoda. Almost as clean as the top tier gasoline manufactured by his sponsor, Shell.

What a high energy play from Zee! Just like Zee tonight, ExxonMobil is taking on the world's toughest energy challenges. Support Zee by filling up with ExxonMobil on your way home from the game.

All jokes aside, you would think some of that Bahraini oil money could make Zee a rich man under the NIL rules if he’s good!

Re: The hopefully definitive offseason thread
That's fair. I think most the hubbub around NIL will calm after a season or two once the pendulum swings back. Right now, though, it's fun to joke around.ineptimusprime wrote: ↑July 3rd, 2021, 11:36 amAll jokes aside, you would think some of that Bahraini oil money could make Zee a rich man under the NIL rules if he’s good!
BTW, Zee posted yesterday on Twitter, "Back to train". I'm guessing it's not a literal train and he's just working on basketball skills in Bahrain? Idk.

Re: The hopefully definitive offseason thread
Again, update on Zee Hamoda:
Looks like he's playing for Bahrain in the FIBA Asia Cup 2021. See here: http://www.fiba.basketball/asiacup/2021 ... iers/teams He's listed on the Bahrain team roster (here: http://www.fiba.basketball/asiacup/2021 ... am/Bahrain as Muzamil Ameer Mohammed Hamoda, and is one of the leaders in per game efficiency.
The tournament runs from August 16 to August 28. I assume this is what he meant when he tweeted he was back to train.

Exactly what Sean needs to be doing. Good to see he and Rylan are tearing it up.

Re: The hopefully definitive offseason thread
I’ve always hoped Bairstow would come out and develop into a player similar to his brother. He shoots the three well. Hopefully the new staff can find a way to use him well. I always thought coach Smith’s way of giving out minutes was weird, especially after listening to his interviews. “I was in bed the other night telling my wife I wish Porter could play more minutes, and she says, ‘well aren’t you the head coach? Cant you make that happen?’ And I thought, yeah, I suppose I can. So I started playing Abel more minutes.”
He told that story a couple of times and I always wondered what other players he had sitting around who could contribute in certain situations.

Re: The hopefully definitive offseason thread
Sean has all the physical tools to be a really solid 3&D wing. Like a Mikal Bridges type. It doesn’t suit him to try to play him as a primary ballhandler or even an off-ball 2-guard, IMO. He’s best positioned for success as a 3 that focuses on playing tough D, hitting open threes, and scoring layups and lobs on cuts.flying_scotsman2.0 wrote: ↑July 10th, 2021, 11:23 amI’ve always hoped Bairstow would come out and develop into a player similar to his brother.

Sean will pair well with a guy like Jones that can break down defenses.
Craig got a ton of things right, but timeout usage and how he tried to use Bairstow were not among them.

Re: The hopefully definitive offseason thread
I think we’re going to see a leap from Sean this year. I don’t think he’s going to be a star, but will finally be used the right way and pared with guards that can penetrate (Jones and Eytle-Rock). It allow him to shine in a complementary 3&D bench role playing solid defense, averaging 6-9 ppg, and hitting open threes at least at greater volume at a 36% or so clip. Book it.BLUERUFiO wrote: ↑July 10th, 2021, 11:38 amThis times 1000.ineptimusprime wrote: ↑July 10th, 2021, 11:34 amSean has all the physical tools to be a really solid 3&D wing.

Re: The hopefully definitive offseason thread
Just reported that the brackets should be officially released by the tournament officials later today but that the initial match ups are as follows:
OU / Indiana St.
ECU / ODU
Davidson / NMSU
USU / Penn
They were listed in that order which looks like it may be the way they appear on the bracket...meaning OU and USU are the top two seeds on opposite sides of the bracket.

He's averaging 11.8 pts on 56.5% shooting (45.5% from 3 on just under 3 attempts per game) and 6.8 rebounds. I'm sure the competition isn't great, but I like those numbers.

Re: The hopefully definitive offseason thread
I don't disagree. I'm pretty hyped up too. In fact, this is the most excited I have been about Aggie athletics across both football and basketball in my whole life.

Re: The hopefully definitive offseason thread
I hope the media picks us low. I want the team to be hungry and motivated as much as possible. With the transfers our starting lineup is really solid. The one concern I have is team chemistry. We have a new coach and a lots of transfers. I hope we start out strong but might take a little time to gel.flying_scotsman2.0 wrote: ↑July 16th, 2021, 4:45 pmI don't disagree.

Re: The hopefully definitive offseason thread
I have high hopes for this season (as per the norm before we actually begin), but I'm trying to temper my natural zeal. I think 2nd is high for us this season. Nevada and Colorado are going to be good. SDSU is always good. I think #4 is a more natural place for us until gameplay shows otherwise.

Oklahoma working through a coaching change, some roster re-tooling - same as the Aggies. I trust that factored into this projection.

Re: The hopefully definitive offseason thread
I think you are pretty spot on with the pick about being 4th. This conference is deep this year, like real deep. However, I mimic what the rest of the forum is saying about hype about athletics this year. Despite the dumpster fire that was football last year and the gutting of our basketball program, I am going to still be the first one in line for opener in football and basketball. At the risk of knowing what happens every season when an aggie fan says this, I am hopeful.Real Life Aggie wrote: ↑July 16th, 2021, 8:30 pmI have high hopes for this season (as per the norm before we actually begin), but I'm trying to temper my natural zeal.

Everything I have heard about Coach Odom and his staff screams that they are hungry and want to make a statement. The remaining seniors we have (bean, brock) have a chip on their shoulder and also something to prove. Hope is for the up and up.

Re: The hopefully definitive offseason thread
I wouldn't call us deep, but I'd say that the traditional top performers all look good this year, though Boise is a bit underwhelming imo (I'm not as high on them as others, but we'll see). New Mexico and UNLV are always wild cards, and I hope they can live up to their potential, but I'm not holding my breath. Air Force and SJSU will perform poorly, as per the norm. Then Fresno and Wyoming will have moments where they shine and upset the top teams, but won't bust into the top.HakeemMyDream wrote: ↑July 19th, 2021, 10:50 amI think you are pretty spot on with the pick about being 4th. This conference is deep this year, like real deep. However, I mimic what the rest of the forum is saying about hype about athletics this year. Despite the dumpster fire that was football last year and the gutting of our basketball program, I am going to still be the first one in line for opener in football and basketball. At the risk of knowing what happens every season when an aggie fan says this, I am hopeful.Real Life Aggie wrote: ↑July 16th, 2021, 8:30 pmI have high hopes for this season (as per the norm before we actually begin), but I'm trying to temper my natural zeal. I think 2nd is high for us this season. Nevada and Colorado are going to be good. SDSU is always good. I think #4 is a more natural place for us until gameplay shows otherwise.
Everything I have heard about Coach Odom and his staff screams that they are hungry and want to make a statement. The remaining seniors we have (bean, brock) have a chip on their shoulder and also something to prove. Hope is for the up and up.
Kind of a typical year, I think, as far as the spread across the conference.
