I feel like this is a fairly charitable interpretation of Damon’s intentions, but can’t disagree with the first part of your point. I have a little bit less tolerance for the turnaround of our basketball program if I’m being completely honest.
I actually like 3 years. But, my point was that next year isn't really 3 years because there's been so much turn-over.
But isn’t that going to be every year going forward? I don’t like it, but that seems to be basically what college sports have become.
Teams have simply wised up to the pick and roll that he benifited from last year. They just don't bite on the roll part and leave George to shoot. He still plays just as hard. His FT % is down I admit.
Is the team better than last year? if you think yes then CDS is doing his job. If you think no, then DA isn't doing his job. I for one see little improvement from last year. Nait is more physically matured but his game is not. Baye isn't any better. The misses he had from the portal are not good. The misses from the first recruiting class also not good when you're trying to rebuild. 2 of the stud recruits from last year see zero minutes. That isn't good. So to say he recruits well is still debatable. Basketball is the worst for handing out stars to recruits that aren't that good. Not all 4 and 5 star hs basketball recruits are worth the pub. After year 2 his grade is a D. You would think being a nba pg his offense would be better and ball security would be more important.
Applicants? This isn’t a job at the local paper mill. You identify Dennis Gates at Cleveland State and you go get him after he just spent eight years at Florida State eating our lunch recruiting Georgia.
OK…. Is this an example of no absolutes?
Think you’re a year late on that one. He’s been HC at Missouri for a year before Pastner was fired. BTW, the Tigers went 8-24 his second year. By this forum’s standards he should have been canned before this season.
Oh please
Yes I’m well aware of who where and when.
I'm watching Nait and Bye and their development is minimal at best. The big fr center has quit the team because he doesn't like being coached. The other fr 4* Sutton is no wheres to be found. The injuries aren't a good excuse because everyone has them. Thecteam wasn't playing well with them early on. Actually the team excelt for Boston college and Notre Dame games have played the same poor shooting and ball security all year. They talent on the team is as big of question as the coaching is.
Then I guess the commentators on here were correct ?
We had 2 transfers who were thought to be major contributors, McCollum and O'Brien. McCollum has been what was expected, however he missed 4 complete games with injuries and was limited in 2-3 more. O'Brien has played in 10 of 18 games and was hurt in several he played in as well. That has severely limited his contributions. Powell has exceeded any expectation as a transfer. Mutombo was never expected to see the court for more than a few minutes occasionally.
Yes, I agree. I think we'll see 50-75% turnover every year in basketball moving forward until the powers that be make it so that it doesn't happen.
