[Second place is 1st loser]

GMAB. People here have Rodgers as a lottery pick if he can learn to shoot. He is a 7/8 guy on a good team at best right now.


Sergio would not have allowed Pickett and Perkins and a host of others to abuse us I can tell you that, and he could shoot beyond 3 feet.

Pretty sure that it was Epps that got abused in those games. BU couldn't hide him.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Is this strike 2, 3, 4, or 5 to the future of Daddy Brad?

When did strike 1 happen with regards to his future? We might not like the situation right now with regards to the PG position(especially after last season), but the count is still 0-0 when it comes to anything beyond that. I want a second(dare I say third) weekend of the tournament just as much as anyone else. The second round exits(first last year) are bummers, but the regular seasons just can't be tossed aside. Now, if we end up with a 7th place finish and a visit to the NIT.... we'll move the count to 0-2.

 

[Joel Goodson]

Yeah, got it. Check back with me when this team gets a one seed and makes an Elite Eight.

right, where did I say that we're a #1 seed and we're gonna make the EE?

my comment that you responded to is solely about comparing Sergio to Rodgers

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

Sean Miller would’ve landed a great PG by now..

 

[WeWillWhen]

I’m just saying I would do whatever I could to get Paul. Even if he was apprehensive at first. I’d make it really hard for him to say no to us.

The staff seems intent in putting all their eggs in one basket……..again. A real head scratcher for me.

sure...but no means no, at least to some. and Mulcahy strikes me as a guy who means what he says. perfect fit for our team, but can't bring himself to play for his beloved's opponents

I'm a HUGE BU fan. I'm thankful that he got the program out of the disaster that it was in. We're nationally relevant again. That said, the PG position, last year, was the undoing of that team. Our top two returners were banking on a veteran PG to be put in place to navigate this season. It world be INCREDIBLY disheartening if we going into this season worse off than we were last season at the point. That seemed unfathomable, yet here we are.

Relax my friend- we are in a good spot!

Playing like a man among boys.

Literally. Some of those kids look like middle schoolers compared to Morez.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

I am 100% behind this, how many other supporters are for this?

The only voices that matter are the ones driving NIL $.

If your last name is Kahn, I’m a supporter (and I know he’s not driving the NIL $, just making a point).

They are

I tend to agree with you, but there are likely things we don’t know.

Just hoping Williams is healthy and eligible, though it seems the odds aren’t great.

 

[KingWolf11]

Maybe with the draft feedback they received they really had no choice but TJ and Coleman coming back with the plan at point guard being we like what we have is quite something.

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

Maybe, but it will likely be:
Memphis
Illinois
Michigan
IU
Oklahoma

There’s a 40% chance I’ll be unhappy when he chooses.

The staff had our insiders convinced RayJ was coming pretty much up to the draft withdrawal deadline. I would assume TSJ and Hawkins were hearing the same.

So if it’s not Mulcahy, what other players currently in the portal or who could be in the portal liked what BU “said in the handshake line?”

Tyger?

Tyger stayed in the Draft. So he’s not an option

Grew up in Robinson many moons ago. Know that gym well. Didn't play basketball, but had plenty of gym classes there.

That gym is all gone now. I had many games there.

 

[socalini]

BU couldn't hide him.

Apparently he couldn’t ride him either.

 

[socalini]

When did strike 1 happen with regards to his future?

Losing to Loyola, not making it to the second weekend with a 1 seed? One and done this year? Flirting with other jobs this April? Failing (thus far) to fill a gaping need for a point guard this off-season?

At the very least, there’s a strike 1 in there.

I like the guy, but the results haven’t lived up to the hype for awhile now.

I know, I know, most wins in the B1G over the past four years… At some point, it’s gonna take more than that.

 

[zentrails]

this will age well

Yep, Ty is going to be a beast for us this year, IMO, even if he never makes a single jump shot

 

[zentrails]

Skyy, too, until he quit on us. It was a double whammy
