The FAU staff told me that they voted Rubin Jones as their defensive player of the year. He made the all-defensive team. On the MGN podcast, we talked about his ability to pass, score, and defend. I don't know who is not singing his praises, but he's value and talent are well known among those who watch regularly.

Rubin is a good player for us. He’s been inconsistent at times this season, but when he’s on it adds an entirely different dimension to the offense. Him and Abou are really the X-factors 

It's understandable he would need to ease in since he started the year injured. It's not just the physical part of recovering from the injury, the time it takes to get back into game shape, but also the mental part. Feeling secure and confident plays a big role. Plus he also had a re-injury scare in the Bahamas tournament from a slip.

on the ball, Rubin still gets sped up a bit and can make some silly mistakes...probably made to look all the more silly by how deliberate this team usually plays. that said, with him TP and Kai all basically having a point guard skill-set, that SHSU press at no point had me worried and we largely broke it with no issues (save for maybe the worst lob pass ever thrown by Aaron Scott). 

it's a shame the knee injury broke up his linear development, but super excited to see what he could put together next season if he gets his shooting numbers back up and is given a bit more of a feature in the offense.

      Best BBQ in each Texas college football town

      Sorry, been out of the country all week. A small town in East Texas called Jefferson. It's been on and off the list the past few years.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      I was reading about this a few hours ago. This is basically the start of revenue sharing... It was the goal. They took a huge step reaching that goal in Virgina. I'm glad I laughed at the notion of "student"-athlete 20 years ago. The idea of student is so far removed it's laughable. I thought it was laughable in the early 00s. It's a clown town joke nowadays. Not all athletes. Because I don't know any player individually. But what I do know is that acceptance standards have been dumbed down to community college levels of acceptance over the last 30+ years, and that goes for some pretty elite universities. Now, those lowly standards are still in place. Then, classes are now exclusively taken online for countless athletes. As of 10+ years ago, athletic departments provide tutors, essay editors, etc. To add, multiple universities have been caught creating made up academic programs to filter their athletes through. Not to mention the universities being caught fudging grades and having their assigned tutors complete their online coursework. And we're sitting here still calling these athletes "student"-athletes all the while trying to keep a straight face.
