Bailey declares for draft

[Viper]

Lewis, Garcia and O...all better than BB. BB gets only pine-time next season. Hence, go to the NBA minors, Euro...heck, join Luke in Grenada. In a couple years, let's see whatcha got. As for MU, we're fine at the 3&4. Add a PF transfer, bring in Mane or Perez or the D-II kid and let's roll.

Stop with the criticism.  Some people need to grow up.  Brendan is our best returning player.  I expect Garcia and Carton to be our best 2 players next season, but losing Bailey hurts the team dramatically.

OMG, the prototypical these guys are fantastic because they're recruits post.

This time next year, you'll say all three of them are crap because they'll have played a year without making All Big East.

Back up quarterback.

No they aren't.

If we could land a grad transfer who'd come in and:

-guard opponents' 2-4
- shoot 38% from 3
- put up double digit ppg
- pull down 5-6 boards per game
- appear to be a good teammate

we'd be all over him.

Let's hope BB stay and keeps up his improvement.

After all there's some room for optimism that he'll keep getting better. Thanks to Auburn, we know that a player's biggest jump in value add typically comes between his frosh and sophomore years. Perhaps we can see more junior year improvement from a guy who took a couple years off?

So let's all cheer for BB.

Let's all hope he hears those NBA suits when they say he needs 10-20 pounds of muscle, lots of work on his handles and more of a willingness to mix it up inside.

And let's hope all that work makes him our third best player next year (after Carton and Dawson).

Let's hope that's the case. Because if BB's not our 3rd best baller we're banking on:
- all 3 freshmen to be immediately great
- full health from GE
- consistency from Jamal

Love to see all of the above happen but would rather not bet on it.

The idea that we would be better without BB next year is preposterous. Not nearly as preposterous as the idea that we were going to be better without Sam and Joey this year (that was an all timer) but preposterous nonetheless.

For all the crying you do about the mind games Wojo plays with people by not letting them play 40 minutes when they aren't producing, this is pure gold.

Brendan was a chosen one. Wojo is loyal AF to his chosen ones. Only problem?  Wojo struggles to grasp who his best are.

Results are what they are buddy. Worst coach at MU since Dukiet. Sorry. He is a better recruiter than Mike Deane. So, at least we have that to hang our hat and hopes on.

Change your handle to the Broken Record.

Amen. Dude's gotta get a new gig.

I just hope Mane doesn't see this thread or we are definitely out. Fan loyalty is one of his priorities, fact. 

[Viper]

No they aren't.

A) how do you know?
B) if you do know, then the recruits must suck 'cause BB is meh.

This is a mind set that will never be accurate.

Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of stupid on this thread. But this thread isn't swaying a recruit lol.

Everyone always says this. Google any teams boards, you see stuff like this on every single board. So by this logic, every player is going straight to pro ball.

Also, if this were accurate. We might as well all just go create profiles on every BE team board and spew nonsense. No recruits for anyone!

A guy with NBA aspirations isn't making his decision on a message board. And if he was, not sure thats the type of mental fortitude you want grinding on your team.

Ah the new guy hyping up the freshmen. Then when they don't perform to his outsized expectations, he'll complain about them.

And most of us will snicker.

...better idea. Set the bar high. Expect greatness, or step aside mon ami. DePaul will take you.

It is totally accurate per Mane, fact.

Mane's priority is not really NBA as of now because he is expected 2nd round.
He  trusts his parents.
Priorities:
Coach stability (he expects he could be 2 years)
Development
Playing right away but he knows he has to earn it and not afraid
Fan spirit and loyalty
Fact

[PGsHeroes32]

No, Karim Mane making his decision based off a teams message board is not a fact.
