so we are basically now on at least year 4 of bad recruiting and roster management, that's assuring
Yes, though the recruiting and system have been concerning for longer than that.
You have tried this nonsense before. White and Gillon saved our @ss that season. Just stop. I will sign up right now for a grad center that can get rebounds.
they got us to an NIT, yay
you would rather have had a losing season? We won some nice games that year, including Duke. Don't double down on wrong. As I recall, you wanted the kid that couldn't play at Creighton over Gillon. SMH
an NIT season with heavy minutes from grad transfers is a losing season, come on man. and yes, I would rather play the developmental kid that our staff actually recruited than a grad transfer in an NIT season.
No a losing season is when you lose more games than you win. These kids were all taken late and did not impact us signing some kid that could really help us or would be helping us now. The problem with rolling the dice on some project kid is he takes a scholarship for 4 years and if he doesn't ever develop he causes all sorts of issues with roster balance and how many pg's you can go after or wings. This is why kids like Sidebe (not to pick on him) are such big risks. Program 5's that can't score and are rated in the 200-250 range. Sometimes they show up to campus and it goes like Edwards and they look like there is long term potential. Other times they have stone hands and can't play impactful minutes
this is revisionist nonsense. it is absolutely clear that JB took grad transfers because he thought his time was up, and thought grads helped him more than developmental players. now we are paying the price double, we stunk with the grad transfers and we stink now because we are missing the upperclassmen.
The only revisionist nonsense is what you’ve posted here.
I totally agree a big man that can rebound and block shots and we got 3/4 more wins!!
I agree with your post but Creighton is vastly superior to SU now, and for the last few years. We are middling. We are Willie Mays with the Mets.
If Chewy was back we would have 3 more wins.
LOL No they aren't. They missed the tournament last year. In '17 and '18 they were one and done. In 15 and 16, they missed the tournament. In 14 they actually won a game. Lost the next one though. Since 1975, they haven't won more than one game in the NCAA tournament. throw out the two final fours in the last 6 years, the year we won 3 games would have been historic for the Blue Jays. What year was the coach's son there? They didn't even win in the tournament then. To recap, they haven't won a tournament game since 2014. and they have passed us?
I miss the guy. Thought the SU program maximized his talent, too.
So does cusefaninvt in his own way
I liked his blocks, the way he changed shots, and his improved ft shooting as he went along. I was most impressed at all the minutes he logged without fouling out when Sid couldn't play and there really wasn't any other option.
you didn't answer the question, could we be better right now if we took a developmental player or more instead of wasting scholarships on white, gillon and Thorpe?
