We've been begging for a coach that tightens the rotation and limits the crazy subbing, especially in big games. Remember a couple years ago we played Louisville in NYC and for some inexplicable reason Crean threw April out there in the first half of a close game, I think it might have even been the last couple minutes of the half, and all of the sudden Louisville went on a run, and then just blew us out in the 2nd half?

I am in no way comparing Justin Smith to April as a player, but that is why Smith only played 2 minutes. That was a big time game, and in those games a good coach is going to roll with the guys he trusts and not mess around. Smith has been really good so far, and I'm not saying Archie doesn't trust him, but it's clear at this point, in that game, he wanted to go with Hartman and McRoberts, two kids who have been there and done that to an extent.

Justin didn't have good body language going into that game.  I felt the same way about Al Durham.

You just have to go with the more active horses in a race.

Not surprising. Good luck to Cujo, maybe he can find a role on a low mid major.

When McRoberts started getting minutes over CuJo, one should’ve known it was only a matter of time

[Hoosierfan2017 19,886]

Wow! That was fast. Best of luck to him. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,727]

Welp, we sure predicted that.

Someone will get something good out of him, I'm sure of it.

The honeymoon is over and it's getting real now.

We had room for Garland and Langford after all.

Opens up a spot for a CAM guy (not s Nancy Boy guy).

Most importantly, we have room for another guy in 19’. Maybe this will lead to a Hemenway offer

I wonder if McRoberts will get a scholarship for next semester now that one is open. I don't see a reason not to give it to him. 

[Yogi's Picnic Basket 5,004]

Really sucks to see this. Most of the Summer CuJo looked like one of the better players on our team, but practice and games are different. He just hasn't got his confidence going and consistency. He hasn't played the minutes I expected either, but I trust CAM and he hasn't done much to earn more either sides a few glimpses. Someone will get a steal I expect, but it was time for a change for him. Just wasn't gonna happen here. Good luck CuJo I will continue to follow his career from here on out.

Rumblings of us looking at the transfer market. Staff wants to keep it open in case a good player transfers or one that fits Archie's system. Wouldn't mind a look at Evan Boudreux

I fully expect that to be the case but it wouldn't of happened here so I pray it does. I always wish our kids the best and CuJo is a talent. The fit just wasn't right for either side.

They're looking for a transfer to add at the end of the semester?

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,727]

Hearing Courtney Ramey's name mentioned as an option.

Yes, he will be good for some push the pace free flowing offensive team. No doubt in my mind.

This. People were worried we'd only have one or two scholarships available. I could easily see 3-4.

At semester break? I wasn’t aware we were even recruiting him or that he’s interested.

No, for next year. Just a couple mentions on twitter.

Probably nothing but he was a Louisville commit and generally considered open since then. Mizzou as perceived leaders.

That would be a hell of a pickup if there’s any truth to it

CuJo's game and Archie's game just aren't the same.  Best for both sides and if he's careful in selecting his next stop, I think CuJo will probably have a solid college experience.
