So uhhhh…are we back?!

[JrodCuse]

How long should we extend Red for?

Lifetime contract right

 

[Brooky03]

We’ll know more after his last stand against BC Saturday

Let's extend him for 2... no better make it only 1... 1 set of NCAA infractions.

 

[FasterCuse]

I know this is Satire, but no we're not back. These are the few games in the ACC we should absolutely win, and win by more than single digits. If not for Donnie we don't win any of the past few games. The coaching and offense (or lack thereof) is still abysmal. I want so badly for Cuse to make the tourney, but if that means extending Red, I hope we miss out. Donnie's gone (pro) after this year, and I don't see anyone coming in to fill those shoes.

"If not for Donnie."

So the best player on our team whom our coach and GM built the roster around? Got it, yup may have been an L.

You must be fun at parties.

Portal what we need.

Wonder if CR III plays.
His photo is up on Cuse.com

 

[OttoinGrotto]

We've been back since the first 5 minutes of the first exhibition game.

 

[miamicuse]

I just looked at the recruiting forum and I couldn't find anyone committed for 2026 season, unless I was looking at the wrong places, does this indicate a shift in our recruiting emphasis to reloading from the portal only, or Red's tenure is coming to an end that he couldn't tell recruits that he will be around to coach them?

 

[Fly Rodder]

I knew this was going to happen after looking the schedule.

 

[DilemaCuse]

4 games into Conference schedule, lets see where things stand a month from now

There is a reason for hope and optimism that they go dancing, but lets wait and see and not get ahead of ourselves

Most college teams could say “if not for our front court future NBA player”…

Red still can’t coach half court offense. Very little off ball screening actions and not having players cut to the basket regularly. Donnie cuts into the lane but he just has the instinct for it. We should be running sets whenever we get into the half court. Instead Nait dribbles the ball forever way out near mid court. That must stop.

The latter. Most of the guys we were recruiting didn’t want to risk it with Red being on the hot seat going into the season.

 

[FasterCuse]

I didn't realize we had so many Red lovers on this board. We've got one star player on the entire team who's athletic ability (not scheme, not coaching) has allowed us to win games. Haven't even cracked the top 65 in NET rankings, but yeah, Red's the man lol. Anyone looking at the schedule could have predicted we'd go on a small winning streak right now playing the bottom dwellers of the ACC.

 

[Dick_in_MI]

The coaching and offense (or lack thereof) is still abysmal.

Eh, our last 3 games, we have scored 82,82, and 94 points. Not remotely abysmal. Donnie has made a difference and offense has not been a problem. What almost cost us last night was our D, so hopefully we can get back to early season form in that area.

One adjustment I like was defending on inbound plays under the basket. We also got several nice looks in- bounding

 

[DaCuse]

will he bring home the natty?

 

[HyattsCuse]

Maybe…if you’re talking about this kind of Natty

 

[hungrychuck]

If this means back to participating in the NCAA tournament, the answer is a resounding “maybe.”

The talent is there.

 

[orangepassion]

What's odd is that as our offense has improved, our Defense has gone in the toilet. Are we allowed to do both at the same time?

They lost games when the star player was out and now winning games because the star player is playing. Hmmmmmm don’t ya think it’s easier to coach and get results when the star player is playing? What a concept!
