Before the conference play started, I posted the 14 teams' KenPom rankings at various times in the year. Now that January has come and gone, I've added another column.
Two guys looking good, Collins and Pitino. Two guys looking bad; Matta and Izzo. The rest don't show enough movement in my opinion to merit a comment

Well, I'm finally ready to get in on this coaching search action. Looks like I was 160 pages too late.
Does the upcoming Memorial Stadium renovation hurt Whitman's ability to throw cash at a big name? Or is their plenty of cash to go around?
Also, this is really my second coaching change that I actually plan on following closely (Lovie being the first). So my question is what are the odds that a name discussed on this board actually gets hired? Lovie came out of nowhere obviously. Were Beckman and Groce talked about prior to being hired, or did they also come out of left field? What about Zook, Weber, or Self?

I want Miller. I'll be disappointing with anyone else (unless there is a crazy shocker). Unfortunately I'm used to being disappointed by Illinois Basketball over the last 10 years
I'm interested in how he gets those studs to Waco. There is literally nothing there. It is noted as being the halfway point between Austin and Dallas more than it is noted for being Waco. It doesn't even have the college town feel to it like CU. That said, I've heard some things about his tactical abilities that would give some pause considering what we're dealing with now.
Trent Frazier tweeted that Groce isn't going anywhere. I feel bad for him but is he keeping a close eye on how this team is playing? Yikes.
The proverbial "vote of confidence" from Trent....not good.
I would. Young man's a baller, and he appears to have fallen in love with the school. I was rather looking forward to a potentially Dee-esque student athlete ambassador for the school.I wouldn't even bat an eye at the kid wanting to transfer out.
Home Depot, selling ladders.
Flipping the script a little bit. Any guesses on where Groce ends up if/when Josh gives him the heave-ho?
1 name I'd make a run at is Mike Brey. Throw about 2.5 million at him and see if he bites.
I think with a good enough offer, we could totally land Archie... money talks.

If it comes to firing Groce or keeping Trent Frazier - bye Trent. I wouldn't even bat an eye at the kid wanting to transfer out.
I really want to keep Frazier! Just off of a two minute tape you can see the great quickness we simply don't have. I like Lucas and Nichols and if this class stays together we will be good in a hurry. The great thing about this class is a good point guard, a good big, talent at the right positions. I can't wait for the day when we have a guy or 2 that can't be stopped and he can just make a play and get a bucket .
We get your point, but it is clear that certain seniors on this team simply aren't having a mediocre senior year. They're having an awful one, and it is killing Groce.Don't forget to say you can't wait for these seniors to leave. That has been the narrative for about 10 years now. The seniors are the problem, so and so bench player would make us better and just wait for our underrated NBA ready recruits.
