How do you expect players to buy into a new system if the coach abandons the system 4 games into the season. Lol.

I'm just curious, what do you expect fans of a program watching this to be saying right now?
Not complaining, but Greta Van Fleet is a reincarnation of Led Zeppelin, right?
I am fine with who they are playing. I have been saying that getting booty tickled about how these games are going is a little ridiculous.
I am not reading through this thread, but I hope somebody pointed out that we've been lit up by lost recruits in each of these last 3 games in Maui.
Bring on a cupcake, I suppose. God knows we need a win.

Once again, on the coach. Don't run off/have so many players transfer last year. Recruit players fewer players who are projects. Get the kids to be mentally involved. Run a competent defense. All things that are in a coach's control.
They are not that bad.

It pains me to say this, but we are lacking the athletes to win at this level. Scheme or no scheme, our best athlete(Tevian) looks like our competition’s 2-4 guys and they have 3 to 4 of those type of guys on the court the entire game.
We have some pieces, but putting the scores and outcomes aside this week. We are 2 inches shorter and 2 steps slower than our competition. Without an influx of 6’5 to 6’8 athletes I fear many of you BU naysayers are correct. We just don’t appear to have the horses. Ugh. I feel like a trader, but it’s my true observation after getting handled by a team that isn’t very good.

I expect them to say that there are some really good pieces in place. There is finally some hope that things are going in the right direction. I think this is the first time I've ever posted. I remember years ago a UNC fan used to troll this site under a few usernames. The posters here are worse than he was.
Lol don't run off players? You don't get hired and then change your coaching style. You're hired because of your coaching style.
You can only recruit people who want to be here. You need to win first, and that's going take a few years.
So much instant gratification entitlement on this board...

Encouraged by what? Glimpses of what?
I'd like to know what you've seen these three days that will make anyone believe this team is heading in the right direction. I'm being sincere.
They're projected to go 15-16. Theyre 2-3 and not good as that poster said.

Yes, traveling in airport for the holidays at o’hare and seeing so much ND and NU. Not seeing any Illinois.
Sitting with my wife’s family, including many alumni and no one was even interested in the game. And for the first time I didn’t even lobby for it.
Sad times.
Trent Frazier hero ball is going to win us an out of nowhere game and get us from 8 wins to 9 wins.

That coaching style didn't work here last year. Isn't working this year, and didnt work particularly well at OKST. The only place it's really worked for him was at SFA.

It’s great you are so diplomatic, but your sentiment is likely very much an exception
