Buddy makes a long post about next year's ideal roster, which includes two portal additions, and then says listing names is a waste of time because we won't use the portal, and then lists the names. Then he says we'd never compete for the guys that would be all league players that would be easy adds.

Quote from: The_Blaze on December 03, 2025, 06:16:58 PMWhy is Owens not playing?  Did I miss something?  He is very talented and was a big recruit. We need him now and if he is unhappy he will leave. With Owens and Parham, I thought we had the forward position locked down for 4 years.  Play a significant role their sophomore years and start by their Junior year at the latest like Chase.

Talented at what? Beer pong?

Shaka wasn't fired but the seat was hot after that for sure

Force Boyd right.  Make the concerted effort.   As for Blackwell?  He's capable of going off but is definitely streaky.  The glass is our biggest issue.   

If it does......Viper might have it.

I can honestly say I didn't expect Dekker to be a complete flame out in the NBA. I certainly wasn't crushed about it and I never expected him to be a star, but I thought he had the skill set to be a borderline starter for awhile.

Credit to him, he's carved out a really nice European career playing in some very cool places, but his enduring career highlight will be that infamous fail. But then again, I don't know if video footage of Johnny Davis' NBA career even exists

O Captain my Captian,  I am sure that they do.  I can't speak for the staff but my guess is that they liked the incoming class especially James and Stevens.  I assume they anticipated a 10 man rotation lead by Gold, who as a senior would surely become a leader  be something like a 14 and 7 type player.  They guessed right with Ross.  They probably thougjt that Jones would stay healthy and play himself into shape.  If everybody coming back got just a little better the team would be up to the task of getting into the NCAA again and be ready to explode the next season.  I have no bones to pick with Shaka but I would given Wojo one more season.  His last year was his best coaching year in my opinion.  Post Howard he had a team that he needed to coach and not lean on talent.  I was put off by the vile anger that came with his dismissal.  Now you are disenchanted the the savior you all begged to hire.  I would ask that you consider this,  If Justin Lewis doesn't get hurt and miss 6 games in the middle of the conference season MU gets a bid and Wojo stays.  If Shaka doesn't lose a 3/14 matchup in the 1st round he doesn't get fired.  So you moved some chairs around and now you don't like the way it looks, how long until you demand a new hero?

6 points, 5 assists , 3 rebounds, 1 block in 13 minutes off the bench.

He's looked good for stretches.  His vision is still elite and passing still wows people. New coach, new system, like him getting consistent run and hopefully carves out a consistent 10+ min a game

Quote from: jfp61 on December 03, 2025, 10:48:16 AMAJ Storr the perfect example of people relate scoring to being a good basketball player.

Storr was never a "great" college basketball player. At his best he was the 4th best player on a wisconsin badgers team.

Credit to Storr for going for the eclectic appetizer sampler platter of college campus experiences via the portal.  East coast urban campus at SJU, big Midwest college town at UW, college town in the middle of nowhere at KU, now the quintessential southern college experience at Ole Miss.  Don't live with regrets AJ!

Quote from: K1 Lover on December 03, 2025, 09:23:27 PMGlad you cleared that up. I would have never guessed that from our game against Valpo last night.

Just talking through my shock after seeing that score lol
