It's not just Bell though. Everyone does this. Friedl and McLain being out hurts, but that's why it's smart not to trade away depth until you really understand who's going to be reliable and consistent. Seems like the Reds always have at least one projected starter hurt to start the year.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I think you misunderstood my reply there, I said "I believe what you are saying". Read through some other posts and tell me you don't think people are making **** up. I appreciate your info, and I don't think I need to explain myself to you either, but I will. I believe some of these posts (and don't get all excited here, I'm not talking about yours) are pretty stupid.

Getting weird? I believe what you are saying but a lot of these posts seem to be just people making stuff up.

And we also haven't added 8-10 guys every spring either.

Calipari is the textbook definition of a mediocre coach who does less with more than anyone in the country. I believe there were 7 UK players in the NBA all star game.

You can't cut bait on every player who has flaws. MR had a good season, teams just started packing the paint and doubling him and he started to force the action a lot. But he's a very good player who's only going to get better. Wanting to get rid of him is silly.

Gunn and Banks.

He turned a 2-22 Iowa State program into a team that just steamrolled the number two team in the country.

I posted yesterday morning on another board that I had heard from a solid source that he was out for the season. Could be wrong, but the source is close to the situation.

Yet I remember a lot of fans didn't want him because he was a locker room problem. Didn't matter regardless.

Keep in mind he wanted to keep Allen.

I would hope fans show up for senior day or whatever.

So who's the lead recruiter with Liam? So he's literally not speaking to him or telling Woody to check in? So he should be fired too.

We should ask Painter what he thinks about playing through the post too.

I just don't see him saying anything until the season is over. They are playing as well as they have in a while, so the timing isn't great unless he is 100% coming back.

I was gonna say, the administration hasn't said Woody is coming back, only "sources". So although I have zero reason to believe he's not, they can still change their mind. I just can't see how you could bring Woody back if the entire team is gone, if indeed there is a mass exodus. But we really don't know who's coming back who's not. We only know that the ONE recruit they had isn't coming. And my hunch is Liam's decision was finalized when Queen went elsewhere and he started realizing he was going to be the only 2024 guy coming in.

The majority of the fans probably have zero idea any of this is being discussed, let's be real. The major turbulence is more so on these boards than anywhere else. I don't think your average fan is checking Trilly and Peegs posts every 5 minutes. Also, booing anyone (besides the opponent) at a home game is lame. Just don't show up. That probably has more impact than anything else. That being said, this is my opinion. I don't just turn on my team because they have a disappointing season. I wasn't a big fan of Woody, but until he's gone, I am rooting for him and the team.

There are also things called tudors and $$$. Nobody in their right mind is turning down NIL money to go make $40,000 a year in the G-League.

That's the spirit! Jesus.

Why would he do that when he can play in college and make way more money.

Exactly and Have to remember that papa James was the one who said that Bronny 'could get minutes right now' with the Lakers...the Bronny James who is averaging 5 points per game at USC in 20 minutes while shooting 37%. There are guys in the G-League and oversees who could "get minutes" and I am sure they actually produced in college and in their respective league. LeBron should just buy his own team if he wants to just play guys he likes or is related to. Him and LeVar Ball could run out their nepo baby team. I guess that's what's going to happen at OSU? They won't be very good if that's the case. There will be a lot of pressure to play his son whether he deserves it or not.

I think it's all pretty bad and why hiring pro coaches is a risk. There is no off season in college.

I agree with this actually. At most schools he'd be safe. He seems to be a very mediocre coach and I wouldn't have hired him to begin with. Hopefully he steps down gracefully. I also hope if he does (or is fired), our fans won't light the torches when the new guy (whomever it is) has his first bad season because it will happen at some point.
