Yes. The right 'leftovers' are just fine. We won the '87 title with a couple of them.

Wonder how some of these fans reacted when RMK brought in guys like Steve Eyl,  Joe Hilman, Kreigh Smith,  to go along with Garrett and Smart

Would be nice if Bates did us a solid and transferred to Mizzou, maybe that makes Love a little more likely? Lol

Some posters on this board could really benefit from some time outdoors.

You might want to re-read my post. I said I didn’t mind Shedrick. I don’t love him but I certainly see the fit with our roster. It was the Duke fans hating on him. But to their credit they’ve seen a lot of him being the in conference opposition.

If it's Shedrick or no big man, I'd obviously want Shedrick.

Do I think there are likely better players at his position for us to pursue? Yes. 

The difference between him and a guy like Ware would be astronomical IMO

Iy is just funny how you are just stressing out over this stuff. Show me one player we are recruiting who has committed to another school. Also why just look at just stats and where a kid is transferring from. I would say a lot of the players playing in the final four wasn't a top recruit. We aren't trying to put an all star team together but putting a team together than can play together.

It was a different time. Need to get athletic in a hurry!

But the guy from VCU seems pretty athletic but to some because he doesn't average huge numbers so he wouldn't fit. Also Smart was very athletic but came out of JC

It’s not this move in isolation. It’s the lack of plan that’s left us to replace 5 or 6 roster spots from the portal when we knew almost exactly what was coming. Then not being able to sell those spots to your most preferred targets that is the most disappointing.

Other schools get to recruit these kids also.   You can try and sell all you want but at the end of the day if the kid doesn’t feel the fit is right then he isn’t coming.   To my knowledge not 1 top tier target has committed anywhere yet.   Love was looked at as a second tier.  They kicked the tires and it didn’t go further

I’ll give you Smart. We just need to get so much better.  I prefer others who can shoot and get buckets to VCU player. We have a little momentum, I don’t want to see us go backwards.

It’s not just the numbers. It’s skillset and position projection but I wouldn’t expect you to engage in a nuanced discussion like that.

It’s big picture. Your first point is everything. The more you identify accurately and sell efficiently the more success you have on the court. If the staff is wasting time on guys where the fit isn’t right on our end or on their end then that’s missed opportunities.

Then it comes to big picture team building. The less efficient you recruit the more difficult this becomes then the roster holes become evident after the games begin instead of before.

That is why I said the pieces have to fit together and play as a team. Listening to Dust May on the radio today and stated that his team had no clicks and were never divided. He never had to worry about the team not holding others accountable.  If you just look at the roster you wouldn't think of a final four team but was because of those intangibles.

I just can't understand why you are panicking already for no reason. KSU had two players on their roster on July 1st and 8 months later was playing on the elite 8.

He can’t shoot throws. He fouls a lot. He’s very thin, gets pushed around in the league he’s in let alone the B1G. Played 24 mins for VCU.

You could just as easily have said he was a the leading rebounder and shot blocker and third scorer and shot 56% on a team that went 27-8 and won the Atlantic 10 and was third team all conference as a sophomore.  We all choose our outlooks.

Some will always see the negative in things where others will look for the positive. To me it makes for a better life and happiness to look at the positives.

Your constant harping on this is far more annoying than someone at least trying to discuss why they feel the way they do, fyi.

Maybe, but the criticism of DeLoach could be said twofold IMO for Shedrick, someone who he said he would take who is not someone I get the hype over.  Criticism of DeLoach's fouling?  Shedrick's foul rate is higher.  Think DeLoach 'gets pushed around in his own league" ?  DeLoach's rebounding numbers kill Shedrick's.  And DeLoach I can see running the floor against an athletic team.....Shedrick not as much.

Very cool. I look forward to your continued, valuable contributions to the board.
