How does the chef do the bird. Simpletons despise turkey but those who relish the challenge can really turn it into a fantastic meal

DePaul very well may finish ahead of us in the league for the first time since.?

Quote from: Small Orange Soda on November 29, 2025, 02:50:22 PMI certainly hope so. Going into this season with Caedin Hamilton as the starting center has got me having doubts.

Going into yesterday's game with him still as the starting center has got me having even stronger doubts.

8 games in and it's clear Caedin is not ready to contribute at this level.  There could still be something there his junior and senior years.

However, if Shaka doesn't continue to cut his minutes, let alone continues to start him, he should be questioned. 

Quote from: BM1090 on November 29, 2025, 12:32:17 PMYour first point is your own strawman, though. None of us would be opposed to that. Most of us would welcome it.

And re: your second point, I think we'd all agree that the recruiting needs to get better.

I've heard Shaka himself get dismissive and act like we want him to go completely the other way, as well as from at least some avid supporters. I agree though, most thoughtful fans see the middle ground.

I'm more 31/69.

Quote from: BM1090 on November 29, 2025, 02:49:26 PMI don't agree, but even if I did it has nothing to do what I said. I'm not saying we're going to compete for the Big East next year. We're not. But I don't think it's hard to see how this team improves a lot next year either.

It's very hard to see

Right now they're better than us. 

Quote from: We R Final Four on November 29, 2025, 01:58:34 PMNo....my theory is I would defer to the head coach who sees DO practice, and watch film, and understanding his assignments on a daily basis, as opposed to a guy on the internet who thinks he knows more than  the coach.
If DO isn't getting it in practice.....he isn't going to be given the opportunity to "prove" him wrong in games. That's absurd.

LOL. Are you intentionally misunderstanding my point because you want yo argue or are you just not getting it?
