Old Friend

I'd bet anything I own Ryan Day doesn't expect the detail and accountability Cignetti does.

More money for lower expectations, I'd bet.

Ryan Carr was hired for a reason and he's good. I think you can do more than hope in this case. He looks to be a "piece" at least, and looks at least as good as Bailey was and stronger.

I like that contact around the rim doesn't seem to completely blow him up. For a kid who won't be counted on to play a ton yet, first glance is positive for sure.

I thought when he was good....he was terrific. When he was not his best, he was the weak link. Hopefully learns to limit penalties and becomes a solid NFL player. He certainly has the body and skills.

49ers get it. West, Rourke, Black, Kamara....who will be a steal. You're really telling me Chris Ballard is truly that stupid not to understand what is quite literally in his NFL backyard???

This is the kid I want most in this class. Having seen him live a couple of times, he's going to be a ***** at the college level.

Solid depth piece. I like it...getting players NOT from Drexel is a good idea.

Forgot he was from Louisville

Choice 1 : Best college campus in the midwest and maybe the country save Pepperdine Choice 2 : Commuter school essentially in an industrial section of a tier 2 city next to an airport and a major highway Have fun, Ja'Hyde. Make your money and never look back.

That was awful. No argument. But.... we had kids who were not capable of playing in the Big Ten. We had players from Elon, Davidson, Sam Houston State, etc. We had no size. We had kids who thought they were far better than they were (Conerway) and didn't value the ball or defense. We had kids (also Conerway) who were just happy to be here. Blame the roster on DeVries. I get it. Ryan Carr was hired for a reason. Blame him for underestimating the talent needed in the Big Ten. But also give the guy credit for winning 18 games, 9 in the Big Ten, with a very average mid major roster. DeVries will be a better coach without Tucker on the team. Nobody is going to be patient beyond next season. I get that, too. But anyone calling for his firing now? Who do you think we'd be able to attract after firing 3 coaches in 6 years? Watching that garbage was painful. Truly gross. I get all of it. We can't fire him now, and I hope Scott Dolson is in his office tomorrow and all over him. If you haven't heard it, do yourself a favor and watch Kent Sterling's post game video ion YouTube. His description of how that meeting should go is gold.

Indiana just hired Ryan Carr. Add tonight's game, and I'd say he's failing miserably. Tonight's game and performance were dog sh*t.

Cignetti all day long. Not close.

Anyone who says that has absolutely no idea why Cignetti and IU succeeded. It's an easy take....lazy, but easy

It wasn't a comparison. Just a reference.

With an entirely new roster and coaching staff, my response and opinion boil down to one thing : We're getting better. Improving. And have won a few games late we wouldn't have previously. That improvement didn't happen under Mike Woodson. Is the roster perfect? No. Not close. But I can't find great fault in DeVries because we're improving and he is likely going to make the NCAA Tournament with a very different set of circumstances than Woodson had. DeVries didn't have the luxury of a group that had spent ANY time together. TJD, Race Thompson, Phinissee, Galloway, Leal, and Geronimo were all at the very least familiar with each other. DeVries isn't perfect like Cignetti has been, but I am definitely encouraged.
