Is Brew your Daddy or is it the other way around? Seems plausible. Brew seems to think inheriting a roster with Lazar, Mo, David, Joe Fulce and Chris Otule is a stocked cupboard. Most reasonable people wouldn't look at that roster and think - definitely high major, 6 seed material. Buzz's coaching extracted the max out of that squad, and his additions of Jimmy, DJO, and Dwight helped us avoid what should have been an NIT caliber season.
Not sure why Brew thinks Nick Williams or Tyshawn Taylor matter. Kids commit to coaches, not schools. Buzz had no track record as a head coach other than a 1-year stint at UNO to try to sell to those two recruits. And of course Taylor improved as a Senior to where Kansas wanted him. And Nick Williams folloed Crean to Indiana.
So…it wasn’t “EMPTY” like you initially said.

Where did brew, or anyone else, claim they were "studs?" You were the one who claimed the year two cupboard was "EMPTY." It wasn't.
Probably, but not sure how that is relevant to the point brew is making
Where did brew claim or imply "stocked cupboard?"

Lol. That is interesting.
Keep in mind, John Dawson saw almost no minutes on G League rosters stacked with guys like Cat Barger, Charles Cooke, Mangok Mathiang, Roscoe Smith, Sam Thompson, Luke Petrasek, Brent Arrington, Joe Chealey, Malik Pope, Jeff Roberson, Max Montana...you get the point. Needless to say, the proof is unquestionable that Dawson was an all timer had Wojo not ran him off.
I mean if you want to play this game, I'll gladly repost your highly critical takes on Tyler, and your UBER bullish takes on Wojo. Keep in mind, you lost 1,000 dollars on the bet you made with me betting against Tyler Kolek shooting over 35% from his Junior year. You and Rico can have all the fun you want at the expense of my take on John Dawson being a much better basketball player than Derrick Wilson. That's fine. I'll take that take to my grave. I'll also gladly take to my grave my take that 10 games into Wojo's career at MU I called it correct that he didn't have "it," and wouldn't be a good coach - while you were popping off about likely future Final Four appearances under Wojo once he got "all his guys." Brew too was big time on that "once he got all his guys" bandwagon. LMAO

Beyond the friendship with Brunson, I said from the minute they made that trade that he was a PERFECT fit for a Thibs team like that. I went to a Knicks game with my BIL (a Knicks die hard) shortly after the trade and we spent a good chunk of the game marveling at Hart being EVERYWHERE. He's a glue guy but also fills up the stat sheet all over the place. He's become one of my favorite players in the league.
Josh Hart has been incredible during the playoffs. He gets every loose ball, rebounds like he's 6'10, and has scored as well including timely buckets.

The bolded! This BS attitude that Shaka's system has to outperform the portal system really gets me. BOTH systems can, and probably will, result in some down seasons. I do not like the double standard.
Not saying that Shaka will never use the portal. He might well have if Kam said adios'.
Look at all those “up” seasons across the big East last year. What… it was pretty much just UConn?

And I like it. I hope it works out and I’m willing to take some down years with this approach if that ends up being the case. Worth it to run a program, develop players, and have kids come in and graduate with a degree. I’ll trade a few wins for that. I’m not staring I think it will cost us wins. But if it does or is perceived to, I’m okay with that trade off.

Let Shaka hand pick who he wants. That relationship is all that matters.
I agree with this analysis

Listen, the job Buzz did whipping that team into shape with all the minutes he lost was incredible, but he had good college basketball players playing the majority of the minutes. Mo and David played well. They did. In a lot of ways, that ‘10 team should be something people keep in mind when thinking about the ‘24-‘25 season

Yes and no. This is an important hire. The ever-changing landscape demands someone that can navigate it. It is not business as usual. The relationship with Shaka will be paramount, but it can’t be the only factor.
