Charleston needs a second ball handler to step up and help run the offense. Everything has gone through Tavari.

Definitely. I do really like the off ball guard paired with Tavari. They look to be a dynamic duo already

CoC wins, tavari with 32 points. 13-16 shooting 🤯

An all timer for Tavari efficiency wise. Very excited to see how what Charleston can do. I’ll always root for Groce. Damn you Flo sports

Yeah but can you imagine if we had Tavari, Amani and Eric back?  Wow.

I’ll miss Groces interviews. He’s super open and real in them and I always went out of my way to listen to them. I’m sure Fords will grow on me too

It’d be a wild what if I’ve thought about and I don’t know how we’d pull it off. Even if Groce came back idk if we would’ve waited for Tavari and Amani’s court cases to happen unlike what we ended up doing. Back in March I don’t think anyone had the idea they’d all be back like this.

That said, Akron has everything necessary to go for a 4-peat.

Akron couldn't afford to pay Amani anything close to what he's getting paid in Cincy. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he alone in Cincy is making nearly what Akron is paying its entire roster. He was going to be gone no matter what.

On that topic, I wonder why it is that Tulane can't assemble a better roster. I would have to imagine there are some deep-pocketed boosters there.

I'm no expert on Tulane athletics, but Ron Hunter is in year 8 and he's 55-69 in conference play 109-105 overall.

 

It doesn't strike me that they're serious about wanting to be good at basketball if they've kept him around this long. That money is probably flowing to the football team.
