Quote from: brewcity77 on February 06, 2026, 10:56:25 PMI mean, it wasn't the "well-embedded moles" it was Shaka saying Caedin's name first or second as a major impact guy every interview leading up to the season. At Big East media day, to Norlander, at the public events, it was a constant repeated mantra. And he reinforced that mistaken belief by starting him the first 17 games of the season.
The comments didn't help Caedin. What seems to be the staff's incredibly inaccurate assessment of his ability did, and that was reinforced the more they tried to make him into something he wasn't.
Through Dec 21, Caedin played double digits in all 13 games and we were #159 in Torvik during that time. Since then he's played double digits in 2/10 games & we rank #66. Maybe that is coincidence, but the misevaluation and the steadfast efforts to push Caedin into that role seem to have been harmful to the team.

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on February 06, 2026, 09:11:34 PMI'd just take everything with a grain of salt, especially if it's Rothstein posting about his well-embedded moles.
Quote from: Johnny B on February 06, 2026, 10:14:06 PMI'd agree with this 6 weeks ago. With the improvement I've seen I'd say even he doesn't grab a transfer(he should) still we will be much better next year. Not saying good but better than a fireable season.

Quote from: MuggsyB on February 06, 2026, 09:23:25 PMWe need to get there. But it's totally doable. It starts with a dominant big in the portal imo.
Quote from: JTJ3 on February 06, 2026, 01:15:12 PMNigel would be playing like 15-20 minutes as the backup PG instead of the role he has now, and behind a transfer PG that isnt better than Nigel. I dont think that would make us better.
Quote from: MuggsyB on February 06, 2026, 09:49:41 PMI disagree. Because if he decides to run it back, he will be looking for a new job in '27.I'd agree with this 6 weeks ago. With the improvement I've seen I'd say even he doesn't grab a transfer(he should) still we will be much better next year. Not saying good but better than a fireable season.
