Message: [QUOTE="Day2, post: 5085354, member: 5348"] That sort of rationalization is fine, however it doesn’t address my point. Expectations were set before the Lampkin fiasco. Now we’re changing course and blaming Lampkin. That doesn’t make sense, though, because a donor stepped up to take care of Lampkin. So that entire ordeal should have no bearing on our existing plans. This is what I mean by copium. We’re just making excuses for everything that has gone wrong, as if they’re not real issues. Maliq Brown bails and now we’re pretending he’s not a big loss? Leffew spurns us and now we’re pretending Plan B (Carlos) is better than or just as good as Plan A? (Who is backing up Carlos, BTW?) Scapegoating Lampkin because negotiations with other players fell through and/or we don’t have as much NIL as we thought? This offseason had the potential for an A grade. That required Red threading a needle, though. We’ve been depending on threading needles for years and it’s not working. [/QUOTE]
