It's these same absurd expectations people have that lead to athletes being labelled a disappointment when they're not averaging 15ppg their freshmen year

Not to keep taking about Smith, but they aren’t seriously contacting staff about coming back, right? I assumed the call comment was a joke but I gotta know for sure now

Unfortunately he signed Mark Alclank

He didn’t play as well as we had hoped, but he committed to us at the end of a cold, cold recruiting streak, he had multiple offers from great schools, he played his !!! off, he never once complained about his role, and he remains loyal to us on social media, but yeah, go ahead and give him pithy nicknames to make you feel better about yourself. Mark Smith deserves any abuse he gets on this board; Mark Alstork does not.

I was wondering the same thing. The spiteful side of me is really hoping it's true so Brad has a chance to shut him down

TyTy would be a starter on Day 1 here and IMO our leading scorer (assuming no Kofi). He has IT. Really hoping we can land him.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say Miller doesn't make the jump we all expect. Let's also assume we don't capitalize on the most loaded transfer market in NCAA history. I anticipate Curbelo averages 13-16 ppg next year (extrapolating from the end of this season). Only 3-4 of the top 15 recruits from this year compete with that (Suggs, Mobley, Cunningham, we can throw in Cristopher too). Those are generational players. TyTy is not. He is not top 15 either. You either have no faith in this squad next year or you are TyTy's Grandma and just found out how to use the internet. Hi Grandma Washington.

Agree wholeheartedly, would probably outscore Kofi, if we let the scoring flow through. Instead, I don't think we get TyTy, and IF King Kofi comes back, we will feed him the rock to ensure 1st team All-American and Draft status
