For those are already to move on from Red

[Millhouse]

Well the fan base is definitely not letting it happen. Look at attendance. It’s abysmal.

Same people go every year forever, they all are taking a break, this is the year to do it

 

[CuseEagle8]

He’s better than Carlos only thing stopping him is his stamina.

I mighta said that before last night. Chance dribbled the ball twice and fumbled it out of his hands twice. Hopefully just nerves and can actually help soon but after 2:30 of playing time, chance is not better than Carlos now….
But this thread is about firing red and I haven’t read it but assume next years recruiting class has come up. I definitely feel like red should have a short leash but I think that means after next year. I don’t wanna see us lose any of those recruits lol

 

[RedtheGOB]

I don’t know which thread to post to now because they all are saying the same things.

What we’re all saying consistently is the best performing on the court players should be on the court for the most minutes.

It’s December, 7 games in. What you did last year or in the offseason or in practice really don’t matter if it doesn’t translate to the court.

The fanbase is sharpening the pitchforks and wants heads on stakes right now because adjustments are not making sense and are way too slow.

It feels like we are rolling with 1-2 dead fish flopping around on the court at all times.

But What really makes me sick is that last year we also had dead fish flopping around on the court.

Its like Groundhog Day only not the funny ha ha Bill Murray one.

He’s rusty and needs game time. And still better than Carlos. We all can agree to disagree here.

A few months ago I bought tickets for the Georgetown game because I was planning to be up in Syracuse next weekend for family stuff. Normally, I would have gotten Duke tickets and maybe another game depending on the weekend game schedule. Similar to you, I am not paying for tickets, travel, and hotel for games where we are likely to get trounced. I've done that too many times in the last ten years.

Save your money for Fran Brown.

 

[atlanticuse]

If this is true, I really don't understand how he has a job. Our rankings continue to plummet under Kent. He's just as bad as Nancy.

He’s worse. We gave under Nancy. We halted under Kent.
But people here debate me. Okay.

At least Chance might play some defense. Carlos

 

[Sherman20]

When was the last time Chance played point guard? 3 years ago in high school before knee surgeries on two different knees?

If he is even a thought at point guard, which isn't even his position, I'd like to know who in their right mind thinks this is even a passable option?

When he was practicing last fall (2023, before the second injury), some insiders were saying he was a more steady and reliable Copeland, just not as freakishly athletic.

And some of the same insiders said Carlos was looking ACC level or better in pre season practice. It means squat until it’s proven on the court

Same boat. Bailing on the Maryland game.

looks like cuffe isn’t happy. he also has a “finsta” (fake instagram) which he posts on and consistently shares his frustration with not playing.

Only 12 teams in the P4 have longer tournament droughts than us.

So Red tells him to stand in the corner on offense and never move? I kid...kind of.

Not surprising. I'd be pissed too if I were him.

How much worse could he be?

Q, the basketball player, is just what this team needs, sigh.

not much is the answer you are looking for

Significant issues existed in JB's last few years. My concern is that those issues have not resolved, making it clear to me that Red was behind many of the decisions over the past 10 years. Roster construction has been equally bad, if not worse, under Red. Defensive strategy and execution is poor. Offense, despite good production, is stagnant and reliant on the talent of a single good player. If our star player is off or gets injured, it's game over.

Outside of high school recruiting, which has improved a ton under Red, it seems like we may have taken a step backward since JB "retired." After all, JB was an exceptionally good strategist and in-game coach. Time will tell if recruiting is enough to turn things around.

 

[bevosu]

No. The program is raising money for travel.

Not sure people truly understood JBs absolute power.

Hopkins found out.

 

[CuseCPT]

A lot of people are mentioning that HS recruiting has improved. This is a good thing, but let's be honest here, HS recruiting improvement has coincided nicely with the departure of some players that were, let's just say guaranteed to play almost the whole game.

 

[OttosShoes]

No 22 year old should have back issues due to busses. That’s a weak excuse by him.

Not sure what his back injury is; I had a herniated disc sophomore year of college from an impact. I was still able to compete, but pain and sciatica were basically omnipresent. Sitting for long periods did aggravate it as muscles would tighten up. I feel for the dude.

That said. While bus rides sucked, planes were almost always worse for my back because it's more difficult to get up and move around (e.g., takeoff/landing/tarmac/turbulence).

In general, the whole plane vs. bus thing is an odd MacGuffin for us.

Of course. I’m just pointing out that Chance has a high upside if he can get his conditioning back and stays healthy.
