Yeah. Adams should not be evaluating or scouting for us. My opinion, he's our weakest link on The Staff.

I mean…I don’t think it would be difficult to find a high major caliber big. Bailey is not. A big problem is, whoever evaluated and recruited Bailey thought he was and it’s absolutely hurt us this year. I know this, I guarantee you we learned from this year and will get a high major caliber BIG conference low post player or multiple for next season…just please don’t have the coach who evaluated/scouted Bailey evaluate and scout our BIGs for next season. Please don’t…

Yeah. I don’t think it’s an effort issue. They were clearly trying today. They just don’t have the size, strength and skill to go against the likes of MSU. For this team to hang with teams like MSU, Illinois and Michigan they have to be hitting at a greater than 40% clip from 3.

I think DeVries is our best coach since Kelvin. With Ryan Carr and a year with the staff, he’s been able to build relationships and target players he wants. See our high school recruits. Those are high major players. I suspect we’re going have a better portal season.

I think DD tried to stitch this team together quickly. It didn’t work. With more time recruiting and a full staff, I expect this portal season to be much better. I don’t think this team lost today because they weren’t trying, we just don’t have high major players outside Lamar and Tucker…it’s a mid major team

Wholeheartedly agree. CDD tried to stitch together a team quickly this off season and it didn’t pan out. We have Carr and a full year under our belt where we can go out and get High major players. Last year we didn’t have much time. We also have some high major recruits coming from high school.

They had a bunch of players retuning. We don’t. Frankly, we need every second of a head start to begin the transfer portal season…and before anyone says we have returning players…if anyone thinks Jason Drake, Ristic, Amicov, Miles are high major contributors in the Big Ten, then I assure you, we will be right back where we are yet again next year….Probably worse if they are rotation players. I would say Sisley maybe, but at this point, Im not sure he’s even in the future based on the fact he plays no minutes now…Frankly, I wouldn’t be opposed to start anew again next year. The frustrating thing is, we all knew what we were missing (length and athleticism) and CDD didn’t address it as last off season continued

The disappointing and alarming thing about this season was that it was obvious we needed length for rim protection and rebounding g but yet Devries decided to continue to get small players like Jason Drake who committed late and appears that he won’t see 1 min of game action this year.

Honestly, nobody should be back on this team next year. The only 2 people that are worth keeping arr Wilkerson and Devries an they are both seniors

Enright not shooting, devries trying his @$$ off but just not big or fast enough, Wilkerson shooting basically the only offense, no rebounding and big foul trouble, no bench. Dorn MIA.

You did

Yeah…as long as Adams doesn’t evaluate and recruit.

Adams is definitely the weak link in our Staff.

We are a mid major team outside of Wilkerson and Devries. Look at the size contrast between the two teams. I again, implore that whichever coach on our Staff thought Reed Bailey could win us Big Ten games and thus subsequently recruited him, never recruit or evaluate for us again.

It needs to stop!

We have definite clout. Scott is very well respected AD

While I admire Wilkerson, we are nowhere near a top 25 team let alone a top 10 team. We can’t rebound, we can’t create, we are not athletic, we’re small, we have multiple scholarship players that are essentially fillers and provide nothing…. Top 10 programs might have one of these problems, not all of them, like we do. We’re a seriously flawed team.

10 years? More like 25 years. There’s legit been only 3 seasons (02-03, 07-08, ‘12-13) in this timeframe where we had a legit team that could make a run to the Final Four (of course ‘02 being the only one). Our program had 2 hall of fame coaches this century and fired both….one of which who is still coaching and has his team in the top 10 every year. It’s a wonder why we’ve sucked for so long.

Our confidence does not seem high….but when you lose by a combined 59 points the last two games that will do it to you.

We’re not very good

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again…whoever thought Bailey could win us games in the Big Ten needs to never recruit for us again.

This team simply can’t put teams away. It’s amazing

Really need to hammer NW tonight

Crazy that Marquette isn’t in the top 100. I think we all thought they would be a quad 2 game at the very least.

Wtf. How does CBS have us as Next 4 Out? That’s like 12-15 spots different from everyone else.
