I think this year will be ok if

Westry is the best player who ever lived

That is ridiculous. He doesn't have to be anywhere near that good. Top 5 and we are ready to go

 

[albanycuse]

You might be right! This team is a hot mess and is really bad at playing defense. Looks like we have a bunch of puzzle pieces from different sets out there.

 

[kingtidge]

I think everyone better buckle in for a rough year.

The best player on the floor tonight was on Colgate.

It's early days for sure, but our defense is really bad.

Our offensive sets not much better.

We have a lot of complimentary players but no studs that can dominate. Freeman will likely get there but it's gonna take some time.

We don't look like a P4 team sadly.

When kids don’t hustle back on D and the coach doesn’t even get up and yell at them he’s not cut out for the job. Lack of hustle and effort is on him.

Very true.

I was under the impression that a reason we made this hire was because chit like that would no longer happen. That guys would play hard for him unlike they did under the old mean guy.

He was to be a players coach. Unfortunately in todays day and age that means soft.

 

[JRHEETER]

We have the talent

Our team looks last, uninspired and quite frankly unprepared.

Red seems to really be struggling with X’s and O’s

 

[jncuse]

Considering the thread title lead in, OP gets post of the night.

 

[FrancoPizza]

We have a bunch of pieces that would be 6-7-8 in the rotation on a competent P4 team. Combine that with poor Xs and Os and this is what you get.

This team has me scared we wont even be a .500 team unless someone averages close to 20 a game. And the only one who has the potential and skillset is Freeman.

What's wrong with being mean. I'd rather have mean than coddled and self entitled. Alot of people think mean is bad today and that's why they can't deal with anything and can handle self criticism to get themselves better to a point of being the best player and person they can be. Toughness builds accountability. The team we have now is soft as Charmin!

Lampkin has started for tournament teams 3 years in a row. He’s not a superstar by any means, but he’s good enough. The coaching certainly stinks.

Where's the talent? Not one of them is talented on defense and their other flaws are wildly apparent, what exactly are we talented at?

We have like 6 freshman CJ Fair.

 

[jdubs30]

The talent isn’t great but I do think it’s at least tournament worthy. But man there’s just no offensive or defensive identity. We barely run offense.

This to me is way more on the staff

He's expected to be one of our better players and are probably expecting much more than he was at his previous spots. Whether that's fair or not should be the debate.

Yeah he's fine, but he's out of shape and probably a 25 min guy at best. Probably spendt over 30% of our NIL budget on him too.

My alma mater is coached by Frank Martin and I have come to really love it. Preaching to the choir.

There were a few times where I thought he really should have been subbed out and given oxygen.

He’s still adjusting to lower altitudes.

DC was mean to all the players he played against. He wanted to win, not make friends.

This is very obvious so far, to me.

I don’t have pitchforks out, but it’s not good so far.

To my knowledge it was an individual who stepped in to cover Eddie’s “cost”. Whether that impacted our “budget”, I have no clue. But bridging the gap didn’t come from what was our budget at the time.

What a stupidly wild time. Im surprised any of us like college sports still.

It is a problem. And the post-game comments also do not make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

(Colgate is a shadow of its former self the last 3-4 years. Not nearly as good. Got drubbed by Drexel. Can't compare. And you're a program too, coach.).
