True, he certainly never told me personally.
But I think it is a generally accepted belief.
Plus, interesting that now that Gerry has left the program, JB no longer seems to have much contact with the current team.
Maybe it is just a coincidence?
Maybe he was asked to step completely away to let Red find his feet?

I can't read most of this, but I love all of your attitude that a Freshman can't come in and play that well. OK. Talk to Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, etc. oh and Melo while you are at it. What kind of attitude is this? Yes. We have a top 10 recruiting class. I for one don't want to lose them all, and if you change coaches, they can opt out of their signed commitment. Maybe we need one better assistant coach than what we have, but we have to keep Red, and let's trust that this team of super Freshman CAN make a difference.

Kansas plays 1 freshman (off the bench), Kentucky plays 1 freshman (6 minutes a game off the bench), Duke has a generational talent and is getting way different caliber players than us. They also have two top 40 freshman that don’t see the floor. It’s 2025 the college game is dominated by experienced players. Comparing it to Melo’s team is pointless.

I don’t know. Something in the program has to change to give me any hope for this.

I think that's playing the short game and delays the inevitable. This also discounts the possibility that the right hire could absolutely retain key pieces See Fran Brown's ability to retain important veterans - arguably his biggest accomplishment outside of closing on KM.
Agreed. Kiyan is not another Melo. His talents are much more comparable to Bronny James than to Melo. You don’t hold on to a coach based on the recruits he has coming in. Cooper Flagg is a unicorn. If Kiyan and Sadiq decide not to come if Autry is fired, so be it. It would not be the end of the world.
Maybe he is recovering from an injury.
Unfortunately, it’s where I’m at as well. This sucks so much more because it’s someone who has been around the program and community for years. I already feel awful about the current state of the basketball product we are consistently putting out. I put a fraction of this on Red, but every stakeholder can take some fractions of the responsibility as well. National media is starting to notice how in disarray the state of program is in and it’s actually for real this time. Not a mediocre year that we can look ahead next season and say hey we’re going to be good again. I’m terrified how bad the heat and division can get if next season is not a better product from Year 1 and a significantly better product than what we’ve seen so far in Year 3. We know Stephen A Smith will atleast be watching and following. It feels like we’re putting any bit left of the soul of the program on the line next season if we don’t see drastic change.

Bronny is not a good comparison. Kiyan is better. I agree we aren't winning with freshman and holdovers from this years team though.
If we can get a Malachi Richardson like freshmen year from Kiyan I would be ecstatic!

I'm conflicted because if we are starting all the freshmen we won't be very good. We need to hold on to Moore, hopefully Freeman and get a center plus veteran pg in the portal.
