That was my thoughts.  What the hell is going on the last few days as we approach Christmas?

Quote from: MU82 on December 15, 2025, 08:59:29 PMBut we're also beating a dead horse. Our two posts here mark the 864th and 865th time it's been said here on Scoop in the last month.

Right now this site is like the stock market when the economy is in recession. The Bears are in control. Instead of irrational selling there is irrational posting. All you can do is ride it out.

Quote from: Johnny B on December 15, 2025, 05:10:54 PMRemember when Pitt was a powerhouse. Amazing how things shift over the decades

Agree. Remember being in an elevator at the Big East Tournament many years ago with PITT fans who were complaining about the Big East. Bet basketball wise PITT wishes they were in the Big East again. PITT has only made the Big Dance once since 2016.

Quote from: panda on December 15, 2025, 11:52:52 AMThis season is gone. Minimal to no hope on the development front for much of the roster.

Given it's Christmas time, drop your wish list for next season.

I'll start - Nolan Minessale. Ripping it up for the Tommies this year with flashes last year. Would be great to roster a former Hilltopper as well !

Mentioned Nolan Minessale in an earlier thread on this site and that he would be my first choice.
Recently heard a week ago from a mutual friend that Nolan loves Marquette and it is one of his dream schools.

Quote from: Markusquette on December 15, 2025, 09:39:15 AMHalf the team can leave

Why only half? Let em all leave, including Sheek and Egbuounu. We don't need no stinkin' players!

1st 18 year old to drop 40+ in NBA history.

A new roster? Outside of NJ, Royce and Adrien, I wouldn't be sad to see any of the roster turn over. I want to believe in Zaide and Owens talent, but they've both been dreadful this season.

Shaka is playing chess while we all think checkers. He is taking a page out of the Spurs playbook and tanking for a top pick. Just need to trust the process. 

The smaller National Media is now catching on. This could get ugly real fast.
