Last post by Billy Hoyle - Today at 08:39:21 AMQuote from: 79Warrior on Today at 12:40:09 AMSJU if he leaves. Slick chatted him up. I think he stays put, but back home would be my guess if he wants out. Nigel has to believe MU will get better. He is a competitor. Could go either way after this dumpster fire.
If the Slickster wants him, then he'll get Mr. Vitamin Water to throw some major dollars at him. Hopefully, we'll pony up both financially and in terms of commitment to turning this crap show around immediately, and Nigel will be dedicated to being the foundation of the turnaround. We need to commit to playing with the big boys not just in the BE but in CBB.

Weird - I haven't seen a single person suggesting or asking this.

If Nigel digs that, which I think many would, then all good. If he likes marketing that can get dates/times/basic info correct, then we may be screwed.

It's a ridiculous thing to say and taints the whole bit.
A similar thing to say is that St. John's beat the crap out of the preseason KenPom #47 team by 24 points, which could have been much if not foul actual foul trouble and perceived foul trouble (slick rick is criminal when it comes to auto-subbing guys with two fouls in the first half).

Last post by tower912 - Today at 08:23:49 AMQuote from: Galway Eagle on Today at 07:59:42 AMI get your point but thisQuote from: CountryRoads on Today at 07:51:58 AMMU was really fortunate Zuby and Hopkins both picked up 2 fouls in the first few minutes of the game. It let our guys at least get a half of non garbage time minutes.Yes. Yes it was. A microcosm. A good play, good hustle, everything the way it was designed. Doink, doink, doink.
I thought each of the young guys had some decent stretches. Caedin a few good possessions on both ends, etc. Though, I'm not confident the growth trajectory of this group will come close to exceeding the reload level of our competition on a year to year basis. It was frustrating when Parham, Owens, and Phillips all missed a layup in the span of 2 seconds.

The Washington Wizards, not the Marquette Golden Eagles of 2025-26.

Last post by CTWarrior - Today at 08:01:42 AMQuote from: panda on January 13, 2026, 08:07:48 PMWould it be more beneficial for NJ to take a dive as we hide him from far more attractive suitors than our dumpster fire?
The surest way to lose a player to the portal would be to try and hide him. The surest way to have a losing culture is to not try your best to win.
Enough people knew how good he was before the year even started. We need to sell him our vision and pony up what is necessary.
