I did include the 1 or 2 seed year. That was the 1 in the 1 for 5. He doesn't get to live off one great year for forever.

He needs to get back to the ncaat this year, especially in light of the potential Big East expansion.

He went 1 for 6 at Alabama, he is close to doing the exact same thing here. This is what some were afraid of happening when he was hired.

How is it that the DDN has not reported on Mali's injury?

The greatest season with the greatest player in the history of Dayton basketball counts as 3 NCAA bids with at least 1-2 wins in each bid on my scoresheet. The rest of you can weight it however you want. The 2019-2020 season ensured my father died in peace.

Its like comparing a 6-week relationship with Sharon from accounting with a one-night stand in Vegas with Sharon Stone. Time, place, and circumstance ain't just window dressing.

Jablo can only report what he is told. In case you hadn’t noticed UD is perennially tight lipped when it comes to injuries. Take the Red and Blue game. We didn’t really know (and still don’t) what was up with Kaleb, Richard and Koby until they showed up in sweats.

Okay, the first statement is ridiculous. He should be able to report not only what is told to him, but what he's observed and if he's heard rumors like we have with this thread, to investigate and give us status on what he's learned about rumor even if that's nothing.

A person who reports in writing what they are told are "transcribers" not journalists.

[Swampy Meadows]

Do you know how Jablo does his job? Obviously not. He is not allowed at every practice, so if he does see anything he is gonna see it at a media availability.

Despite what you think, Jablo is NOT in the rumors business that is the purview of guys like Sully and fans on Twitter. Thank God Blackburn Review is dead and buried. Can you imagine the crap they would be slinging in this situation?

Interesting to note that in a 35 post thread about Mali’s injury that Matt Schwade at FlyerHoops.net hasn’t said word one about it. He is not one to fuel rumors.

In case you hadn’t noticed Jablonski has really stepped up his UD coverage. More in depth content more often.

Jablo is aware of HIPAA. He would be a fool to disclose any info that doesn't come from a source that clearly has Mali's consent and knowledge. That is likely to be UD administration or representative, not of course Jablo.

Jablo isn’t subject to HIPAA. If a reporter sees a kid in a boot at practice or limping or sitting out he can certainly report that. He may decide not to If he doesn’t know anything more than what he saw and doesn’t just want to fuel the rumor mill.

If the university, or a doctor discloses someone’s healthcare information, like actual healthcare information, without consent that is where HIPAA comes in.

Sorry, not buying it. This rumor has legs and I'll bet even Swampy believes it to be true because we all know where there's smoke, 99 percent of the time there's fire. At the very least it's to the point he should be asking the question if it's true and then reporting on the response whether that response is "Yes", "no" or "no comment".

If he reports to us 2 weeks from now that Mali is out with an ankle injury for a substantial amount of time, he's not doing his job unless he's employed by the University rather than the newspaper.

Ha. I could not agree more. I can live off of that season for a long, long time. As a lifelong UD basketball fan who can remember going to games when I was a toddler (about 50 years ago), that was the sweetest season ever. I'm really not too worried about the injury. The program is strong under Grant. There will be good and bad fortune along the way.

Not necessarily. There's a difference between a "beat reporter", and a person who provides opinion, commentary, rumors, etc.

I do not know exactly what Jabo's official role is, but from how he writes & reports, he's appears to be a beat reporter.

It's common in preseason that reporters can only report what players tell them on the record from practices, coaches sessions, etc. They can say "so & so looked good", but they can NOT say "The Bengals have installed a who new set of trick plays".

I've seen this practice described by multiple reporters in multiple cities.

Therefore, Jabo likely did know or was informed. But, by the "rules of engagement" is not going to report it.

This conversation got me thinking. Since Jablonski is the only "real" journalist to cover the Flyers, i.e. there are not 3-4-5+ journalists who provide indepth coverage of the Flyers on an ongoing basis, who holds the leverage, UD or Jablonski, since there is no real competition for coverage? (correct me if I'm wrong)

I'm sure they both try to work together, but at the end of the day who has the most leverage in the relationship if a topic were to get "real testy"??? UD would seemingly always be loyal to the U, but who is Jablonski loyal to at the end of the day, UD, the DDN, the fans, the truth?

[Radar]

Sid Louick's initial question is related to the DDN (Jablo) not reporting it. Or at least reporting that he did ask and got the heisman. I agree that at the very least this should have been reported in the DDN. Thanks for the info Swampy...not everyone follows Jablo on Twitter.

Sweet mother of God. I almost fell out of my chair at the inference that he has some obligation to the fans or to the truth. He is a mid market sports reporter not Bob Woodward!

I would bet Jablonski has to find a balance between being a reporter for the DDN and getting access from UD, which helps with #1. If he runs with stories like: "Mali in boot, UD silent but unnamed sources say 10 weeks. I am guessing the relationship may sour. On the same note, if he never asks the questions because he doesn't want to put AG on the spot, I am guessing his boss might want to chat.

Dayton was 30th West Virginia 72nd. Dayton loses a scrimmage by 12? Performance is reality and injuries impact performance for every team.

In the tweet with the video of Brannen coaching during practice he references something that Mali does which led me to believe he was practicing during this video as well. Not sure if that was an older video or not.

EDIT: Just watched the video again and #11 is definitely out there practicing. Again, maybe it is an older video, but if not, that is good news.

I feel like I may have wasted several hours of my life I will never get back. I say "may" because I won't believe anything until I see him on the court or in sweats at the first game.

Yes, and I believe we were also told we “lost” the scrimmage in 2019. Well you know how that season turned out. It’s certainly good to work on certain things in a scrimmage but if people are basing the upcoming season on a scrimmage then they’ve got issues.

[momszer]

Someone tweeted the other day after the scrimmage that everyone practiced on Monday. I asked if that included Mali and didn't get a response yet. Keep your fingers crossed.

I believe you are correct, to Purdue or somebody that was nowhere near as good as we were in 2019.

I would gladly forfeit those hours of my life if he is indeed healthy.

Gotta believe it’s older footage than yesterday. Mali’s ankle isn’t even wrapped, and I doubt he’d be practicing in just socks and shoes after even a slight ankle injury. Regardless, I’m hoping for a quick recovery that sees him in action ASAP.

[Marysville Flyer]

A buddy of mine was pretty sure he saw Malachi yesterday at a local Trampoline park having the time of his life.

My buddy does like to lie a lot and stir the pot so not sure what to believe now.

Here is the thread on the 2019 scrimmage - and it was mixed feedback on if we won or lost. Seems like it was leaning towards we won vs Cincy in that secret Scrimmage.

That said - it is a scrimmage - and AG is just looking to see who is ready and who is not. Evaluation is the goal not victory in those. And with 4 players basically in Street cloths that is why it should be taken with a big grain of salt.

Now someone get Mali some magic leeches. He has 13 days before the real games that matter start.

I'm moving from the "sorta, kinda, nervous category" to "nervous" now. Mali being out - hopefully we could make it through with Elvis & Mongo. Brea out - if there was one guy I expected a BIG jump from it was him.

The days are slipping' by.......next we will hear of "practicing together, jelling", etc.

Hopefully Koby is back soon. Need that outside shot.

This is what has me most nervous. Yes, not having Mali on the court in the early part of season is very concerning. But once he does return, I'm concerned about how far behind he'll be. Same with Brea, even if he's healthy to begin the season, he'll be behind and out of sync for quite awhile most likely.

Seems like most players who aren't developing with the team as the season wears on, never really get back to full potential as the season unfolds. Just look at Zimi last season. I also look back to the Pierre suspension and how what I expected to be a great, great senior season, never materialized. He was good and certainly contributed, but not quite as I would've expected going into the season.

[Sid Louick]

If Allette is looking to being a one-and-done, it might be difficult unless he beats out Mali for playing time next year (assuming Mali is healthy and playing next year).

[Flyers98]

Originally Posted by Sid Louick If Allette is looking to being a one-and-done, it might be difficult unless he beats out Mali for playing time next year (assuming Mali is healthy and playing next year).

Have you not been paying attention? It is completely realistic to have multiple highly rated players at the same position because they will all know that they are just an injury or two away from playing. Allette would only make three PGs that would start at most other programs on our team. That is not only reasonable, but to do otherwise would be "unconscionable." Frankly I think after what happened this year if AG doesn't get Allette and another 5 star point guard he should be fired.

[Medford]

I don't think Allette is considered good enough to be a one and done type player (I'm not even sure if that is still a requirement, I don't think its officially been dropped as an NBA requirement but most believe it will be.) He may well be a very solid player, a borderline top 100 type kid, but the typical one and done type players are the dudes in the top 25 with offers from Kentucky, Duke, UNC, Kansas, etc...


Of course there was Kostas... UD home of the one and done!

I'm not really too worried about him being "behind." He was hurt at the start of last season and that was as a true freshman. Despite that, from the moment he stepped on the floor it was clear who our starting point guard was.

He played in every game last year(until the NIT), including the exhibition against Cedarville. He was able to gel with his teammates and against opponents who hadn't yet gelled.

[Sid Louick]

I only brought up the fact that Allette stated (in a Dallas Flyer post this morning under 2023 Recruiting) one of his goals was to be a "one-and-done" because he believes he will be one of the best players in college basketball. If he thinks he is that good, he may shy away from coming to the Flyers given that we already have a pretty good point guard who would be a junior when Allette would come on the scene.

This logic cuts both ways imo. If you are *that* good, why does it matter where you go to college?

Every team in America worth joining has a returning PG. If you're one-and-done good, well, good luck finding a team that has no competition.

Imo,I doubt very much he plays before Thanksgiving. Walking (if that is where he only is right now) to jogging to running can take a couple/few weeks. Even Brea who was warming up on friday night still is indefinitely out based on what we just read.

While this isn't on topic, this post made me look and Sissoko played 10 minutes the first game and 3 the 2nd for N. Texas and has put up 0 points with 3 rebounds. Find it difficult to believe that by now, he's not a major player for N. Texas and if this continues, he would've been more valued by the Flyers.

15, 19 and 18 points in the first 3 games of season for Dwayne Cohill though. 19, 10 and 15 for Elijah Weaver at Chicago St.

I believe that's all of the ex-Flyers still playing CBB.

edited: oops, Frank Policelli is still playing for Stony Brook with 11 and 13 points.

edited again: Jordan Davis, still out there with Jacksonville, in the 6th season(5th that he's played and a transfer year), scored 4 and 10. Hard to believe that a player, recruited to Dayton by Archie Miller, that was a starter from day one for 2 seasons with the Flyers is still grinding it out in college basketball.

That is a picture of Mali in the weight room, so who knows? Interesting he has his shoes untied and no ankle brace.

I hope he can play some today to adjust to the game speed, so he can be close to ready for the tourney.

With three games next week we need everybody.

Would be beyond shocked if he sees the floor today other than in warm-ups. Be nice to get him some PT before the tournament but another 5 days off that ankle can do nothing but be beneficial.

He just posted “I’m back”.

i thought he looked normal in the game. He is quick, and that helps us in a lot of ways. We still don't have it together on offense, but it's nice getting key pieces back before our big upcoming tournament.

and that will hurt the defense. Sure is nice to having him back because the ball movement improved and the ball goes where it should (Holmes and Camera).
