    Not being critical of you so much when I say this, but I find it funny that so many people are acting like our roster turnover is somehow a normal thing. Its not. Totally different from a few years ago. And not even normal for the majority of teams in today's portal world. Especially for a team...

    I would imagine if we missed on our targets and had to go to Plan B or C that might involve a sudden trip to Serbia?

    Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have thrown a huge fit if we had gotten him, but I just didn't think his wants would have gelled well with our younger guards. Plus I'm all for other teams spending big money on guys I don't want as much. Hopefully we use our money to outbid people on some of...

    Well, perhaps Bardo just didn't see him? I'll wait because I know he'll tell us when he does.

    Didn't they say someone else took over the defense late in the season?

    Seems like only a few hours ago people were saying how Brea would be so much better than Goode. Congrats guys...you got neither. Which was the point many people have been making. Directly or indirectly pushing players aside for 'possible' new and improved players makes little sense when you...

    Professional athletes have contracts that dictate a number of years. They can't leave.

    The insiders keep saying great players are coming in...and at this point they better be. Because if you lose this many players that fans are attached to you have to follow through on the "promises". And if a team of 10 new players finishes middle of the pack how much leeway will fans give...

    I know Domask is seemingly completely up in the air/out of his control, but does the staff have any feeling that Hawkins is actually coming back? His tweets cannot be considered anything other than what they are, but I'm getting my hopes up. And how does that impact recruiting until final...

    How does our success from last year's team have any bearing on our appeal? That team is gone. And from what insiders are saying even more of them are leaving. Having one successful year with those guys means nothing now if we have no holdovers from that team. If we are going to build a team of...

    I would hope. And it brings up a solid question I have...what kind of price does a guy like that command? 8 minutes a game as a senior with the numbers he has. Not sure there should even be a price tag. (And I'm not saying he's a bad player, he may be good, I honestly haven't watched him play...

    I didn't say that. I said Epps wouldn't give up the ball to him and accept a secondary role. You think he would? Not sure what he has ever done that would give you that impression.

    If he does I feel bad for Tucker Devries. Scored over 20 points a game and now transferring just to get no shots thanks to Epps coming in and refusing to pass him the ball and accept a secondary role.
