Right. Because of his success then, and consistently putting together final fours and championships into the early 90’s we still felt elite. So IMHO we either need multiple FFs in an short period of time or #6 to be “BACK.”

Coach K and Roy Williams did this multiple times. UCONN did it from 2009 to 2014. Heck, Tom Izzo did this twice. I say set the bar high.

What’s deep?

IMHO If a coach already has multiple titles under his belt he doesn’t have much to prove. If we were to have a single FF I wouldn’t consider that BACK. 2 FF in ten years wouldn’t persuade me much either. Too much time in between. E8’s are nice but also not persuasive for me. What’s your gauge for being BACK?

You know, if we could manage to steal one in Champagne tomorrow there’s a real possibility we take sole possession of third place. As frustrating as things have been, a win would make the toughest part of the schedule a little bit more bearable.

Sorry, that we could get him.

What makes you say that?

Pearl would be my number one choice as well

I’d turn cartwheels to have Pearl. I Love what he did at USI. Would also be ecstatic with Drew from Baylor. He’s proven he can win against tough teams consistently. Heck, I’d even take Sampson for 5 years if we could get him back. I could be persuaded toward the Dusty train, but I still feel like he has something to prove, personally. I didn’t know he coached with Mike Davis at UAB.

I don’t things get turned around by adding new assistants. This is a leadership issue. If CMW doesn’t change/adapt things stay status quo imho.

So what are we expecting to be the minimum for CMW and company to keep their jobs after the season and what are the odds a change is made. my opinion is CMW could streak across the court mid-game and he’d still be the coach to begin next year. Short of an home run hire approaching us out of the blue, I’d say we’re stuck. Odds of a change being made is 5%.

I’ve listened closely to Woody’s last two pressers, and when JHS’s performance came up CMW has been congratulatory, be intentional about saying ‘Jalen still has a ways to go.’ Do you think Woody is subtly suggesting JHS needs one more year in Bloomington (giving us the best backcourt in the country)?

Why would this be a major disappointment?

Who is Ken Nunn?

Can you explain?

That’s a turd way to put it. You don’t know what he did or didn’t see.

That’s what I was thinking! I’m trustworthy!

Can you link it? I’d like to snoop.

Can you describe what you saw, and share it later after confirmation ?

I think we’ve (partially) learned to get less attached to players. So when they’re gone prematurely it’s not as noticeable / meaningful. Over the last few years we’ve lost guys like Stewart, Franklin, Brunk etc.. and we more or less shrug it off. on the flip side I remember when guys like Steve Hart, Michael Hermon, and Sherron Wilkerson left and being REAL sad. Of course I was only seven.

I don’t get all the bet hedging. If he had visited KU and two and a half days later canceled his remaining trips we’d say, ‘lock for Kansas’. Yet we we refuse to give ourselves the same odds. None of us would say ‘We’ll, he saw all he needed to in the visit before last’. I don’t mean to come across unkind, but Sometimes we sound like a bunch of ugly-duckling, always the bridesmaids and never the brides, who never get quality recruits and are always playing second fiddle— forced to pick over the scraps of the real winners. It’s as if some have gotten so cozy with defeat that it’s all we see. I reject that attitude. He’s ours until he’s not.

It just doesn’t make sense that ‘he wants to go to Kansas’ yet takes the IU visit anyway BUT THEN cancels the UofL trip following our visit. I get it. The kid can do whatever he wants, and he could pick KU. But why take one visit (us) over another (UofL)? I lean toward no one REALLY knowing, and prognosticators just prognosticating. My gut says IU and it isn’t close. Last thing I’ll say— if the shoe was on the other foot and we were to swap the KU / IU visits we’d ALL be saying, “KU”. That’s simple where the tea leaves point. I could be wrong but…

SOOOO when will we get our NEXT addition and WHO do we think it will be?

Would it be possible to get this in writing? Lol

You may be in the wrong thread. ;)
