10/5 media address by the Boyle.
Frosh doing worse as they absorb the system.
Akyazili has made great strides.
Deleon Brown and Bryce Peters mentioned as guys with the desire to be defensive stoppers. he then goes and mentions every other non-F/C on the team as guys who he wished had that kind of desire. Think Tad has missed that?

Media day at CU.
Tad is dropping truth all over the place.
Is this the kind of defense we are looking for...

Where did the experts have the football team ranked preseason.
Experts go with low hanging safe picks.
They dont take into account all the factors.
Optimally all these teams with 4 and 5 star players should be ranked, but that is not how the season tends to play out.

Best of luck this season Buffs bros. If Tad gets the D&R ironed out, could be another special season involving dancing at the end.

I don't think that "One Shining Moment" is really a song that many of the Buffs would really dance to.
I'm not fully buying the D & rebounding mantra this year. It's not like the team is a bunch of new guys meeting Tad Boyle for the first time. Almost everyone expected to get major minutes has been in the program for several years.
Did they forget about Tadball this summer? When they wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat screaming "Box Out!!!" do they just dismiss it as some strange dream? When they subconsciously swat garbage out of the hand of a random Boulderite is it because they were about to use the wrong recycling bin? No. No, this team could be flying around like a Thibodeau-esque death machine and Tad would still slowly lower his glasses around his neck and with a furrowed brow tell reporters how is team just isn't fully grasping his defense and rebounding concepts. This is what great coaches do, they never let a team get complacent.
I must admit, Tad is good. Even though I believe everything I typed above, I watch his post-practice interviews and come away convinced that this team better be dreaming about box-outs and close-outs or it is going to be a frustrating season.

Tad believes that this year's squad matches his first team (Alec, Corey, Levi, Marcus, etc.) for offensive firepower... but that he'll get this team to play defense.
So SMU beat us at their place, but it sounds like we beat OSU. There is some interesting film on what these scrimmages look like. Most just practicing offense and defense from a half court set. For the record, OSU is a tourney caliber team with a great point guard.

Apparently SMU "won" the first game. Second game was a tie.

beware the habu
Good luck to the Shockers this year. Your ooc match-up against the boomers could be a barn burner.
