Quote from: Small Orange Soda on November 29, 2025, 02:43:06 PMThe problem is when everyone defending him, like yourself, point out back to back 2 seeds they're talking about a program built differently than the one he's built now.
His first round draft pick was a transfer. His All American PG was a transfer. I'm not someone who thinks he needs to go portaling every year, but you don't get to brag about how he's doing it the right way when this is his first year actually doing that (you can call last year that too, but they fell apart last year). The results are terrible thus far.
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.
Quote from: BM1090 on November 29, 2025, 02:46:06 PMEh. Lot of average teams in the Big East. And ultimately I don't think they reach 11 or 12 Big East wins.
If Dayton and Oklahoma had swung our way a lot of people would have hope for that total. But nothing is significantly different about this team without those two wins. Need to learn how to close games and fix some of these droughts. There are countless examples every year of teams that improve as the year goes on.
We're 356th in luck on Kenpom. I don't think it's actually luck, it's lack of execution in big situations. But if that improves then the results will come with it.
Quote from: wadesworld on November 29, 2025, 02:48:19 PMShaka's done it a lot of ways in his coaching career. It's why I think he'll adjust and continue to be a high level coach.
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on November 29, 2025, 02:47:03 PMNot remotely what I said - maybe you should re-read your comment and my response.
You said he takes as many unknown projects as he possibly can. That's objectively false.
Again, comprehension seems to be an issue for you. Norman hasn't worked out but he was a pretty highly regarded recruit. That's that point based on your comments.
Quote from: panda on November 29, 2025, 02:40:56 PMThis team is alarmingly bad. Without Ross, we would have multiple losses to cupcakes. Much different than shaka's first team/second team.

Quote from: onepost on November 28, 2025, 02:48:32 PMThe fact you think the coach of a high major program recruiting 6 high major prospects over 4 seasons is some sort of win is hysterical. How are you not seeing what's so goddamn obvious. 5 years in and we BLOW.
Quote from: onepost on November 28, 2025, 03:40:05 PMTo add to this. You're pointing to Owens and Norman, as if one isn't so bad he can't see the field and the other isn't so bad that simple drives or made FT's is seen as a giant improvement in his game.
Cool. Shaka has recruited 7 profile recruits. 2 absolutely blow, 1 had a good freshman year and regressed, 2 look to be actual HM players, and 2 haven't stepped on the court. So again, congrats??
