Maybe I’ve just missed it, but has there been any reports of schools that have reached out to Sparks, Banks, and Gunn?

I've heard Ball St for Gunn and Sparks have reached out

I would argue the delusion is coming on a message board of one of the craziest fan bases in the country and expecting anything different.

I think that duo could do some serious damage at Ball State

I don't think that's a fair assessment.  Sure, Gunn hasn't developed as quickly as we hoped.  He did improve his three-point shooting to 34% this year.  I also believe that he led our team on steals per minutes played this year.  Gunn is athletic so there is definitely potential. Maybe if Gunn's minutes early in the year had been with 3 or 4 starters, instead of the hockey shift he would have developed better.

That seems to be painting with an awfully broad brush. One thread makes the rest of the forum not very good. I think the majority of the fanbase feels like Mike Woodson should be fired.  

Sure, but it doesn't have to be reiterated in every thread.

Everybody says it, but it was the rarely displayed.  If the potential is there, you’ll likely see a high major coach take a chance on him. I’m guessing he’s headed more towards a mid major. At that level he might be able to get by on some of his athleticism.  
 

He’s going to have trouble staying on the floor due to defense at any decent high major.  Same was true of Bates, but he at least showed he could effectively score at this level on a few occasions. Of course, he went to a place where apparently nobody cared about defense, or wins, so who knows..

Bates did get better.  Still doesn't play defense, but he sure as heck shot the ball better at the train wreck that is Missouri.  Wouldn't call it a top tier program AT ALL but they did play top tier competition.

I find it so hard to believe Mizzou couldn't win one conference game.  I think they should come pick up Woody the can use some bridging over there.

He really needs help with his shot selection and to get past the feeling that he needs to shoot the ball every time he touches it. A good coaching staff should be able to fix those things.

His defense needs lots of work too, but again that is something can be learned. A better defensive scheme wouldn't hurt, either.

Welcome to....The Internet! Where, no matter the topic, some of the stuff you read will be downright delusional. The trick to this game is, will we make broad sweeping statements about what the delusional "some" represents? Or will we understand that the delusional is, indeed, just "some", and most definitely not all? Tune in to find out!

Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten anywhere.  Maybe it’s time to move on?

At least hold out till you’re in his will. That’s what I’m doing with my in-laws :-)

At his age, moving on has a much different meaning.

So much uncertainty.  Am I moving up or am I moving down?  Probably the latter,
