  1. I hear you. I see the on3 site has KS at 95% now and us at 3% but no one really knows until the kid makes the pick. I consider Abmas the center piece in our recruiting right now, but I'm concerned that with such a sparse roster some recruits are going to worry about not having a competitive team to play with. Hopefully things will swing our way soon.
  2. Hopefully this is the staff's darkest day and we start signing some transfers soon. We absolutely can't show-up in Milwaukee next season and roll with Gavin Perryman. Some perspective from another poster's research: 2022 Sir’Jabari: entered March 29th, committed April 19th Tyrese: entered April 18th, committed May 27th 2021 Carr: entered March 17th, committed July 19th Timmy: entered March 26th, committed April 13th Disu: entered April 21st, committed April 26th Bishop: entered March 31st, committed April 16th
  3. Hey, the players all love him. This is why you don't get divorced, go to Vegas, have a great time and then marry the hooker afterwards. The further we get from the euphoria of the EE the more our coach is going to need some positive movement to stay afloat.
  4. Enjoy College Station Kyndall. We'll look forward to stealing the ball from you in a couple of years. Surely Celeste has to sit a year? She's a damn fine player (one of my favorites) but you wonder about players that transfer so much.
  5. Caleb Love -> Michigan Kel’el Ware -> Indiana LJ Cryer - > Baylor Tylor Perry -> Texas not in top 12 (How are we not even in the top 12?) Kalib Boone – undecided Darius Maddox – undecided "Maddox missed the final two months of this past season while tending to a personal matter, and now he'll move on from the Hokies program entirely and look to reboot his career elsewhere. Before leaving the team, the 6-foot-5, 180-pound guard started in 19 of his 20 appearances for Virginia Tech, averaging 8.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes per game."
  6. Perry listed his top 12 schools and we didn't make the list. Really hopeful for Abmas though.
  7. Like them or not, Morris and Mitchell were both true freshman who showed signs of promise. The skill jump from freshman to sophomore is usually significant and as thin as we are they both should have contributed heavily in the coming year. Hopefully the staff does good work getting transfers, it always looks worse at the “losing” part of the portal season. (Abmas please) Whoever we get, we’re definitely going to need nametags at the beginning of the year.
  8. Maybe we should expand our transfer/portal options to include work release programs.
  9. Actually, right now I'm just glad we aren't hemorrhaging assistant coaches like we did last year. Don't like all the ACL recovery timelines but we should start the year and go through the recruiting season with far more stability than last year. At least, I haven't heard of any staffing changes, I don't know if anyone else has.
  10. +1 The new winning formula. Just need to keep being attractive to transfers with success, facilities, solid coaching preparing for the next level, and a massive swinging NIL program.
  11. Do like the Rice "one and dones" though. I can see a world where we use other schools as "farm clubs" to let the cream rise to the top and take the best players for a year or two after they have some experience and have proven themselves. Worked this year. Our experience of the freshman has not been great. (ok Durant was kinda fun)
  12. Paper said Quin Snyder was strongly considered by Texas before he became head coach for the Atlanta Hawks. @chemHORN got that correct. His lovely wife Amy has a Ph.D. from the University of Texas. I can see two good reasons to have considered Quin.
  13. She seemed to be hurt a lot but was a great teammate. Easy to root for, I hope she finds a place to her liking. Thank you Femme.
  14. Tom used to spin his coat out onto the floor. Getting a tech with style. 😎
  15. He absolutely did. I don’t think he’s the right guy either but impossible to hate, seems like a really solid dude who has worked hard for us. I hope he succeeds. I could see the biggest danger being mediocrity. If he succeeds – that’s best-case scenario, if it falls apart quickly OK, we move on. But if it’s just good enough to not change but not good enough to have a chance at the big prize that can be a greater issue and harder to get past. Lots of ball to play though, and we of all fans know how quickly things can change. The king is dead, long live the king.
  16. Gutted. Deepest, most mature team we've ever had, easily our best shot ever to win the whole damn thing. Top seeds out, it was there for the taking. Really going to miss Rice and Carr, going to take a while to get over this one and appreciate how great this season actually was.
  17. They had a great game plan and very good shooters. We needed to adjust.
