Recruit

Recruit (1/7)

  1. Can we fall another level? Our RPI will likely be +300 at seasons end and that is about as rock bottom as you can go...
  2. I agree we cannot land anyone but IMO we are in MUCH better shape now than when Majerus was hired. Now we have the nicest facility in a great bball conference and a proven track record with the recent NCAA tourney wins. When Majerus was hired we were still at the scottrade center hadn't been relevant in over 10 years. Our team right now is undeniably dreadful, but the program overall is much more appealing now than it was when Majerus took the reigns.
  3. I honestly think Crews will be gone. If we end up with 5, 6, 7 or 8 wins this season (and at this point it's hard to imagine winning more than 3 conference games), I think he will beg for a buyout. This is a guy who was content in retirement 4 years ago, who is about the record the two worst season for this program in the past 30 years, and who has padded his bank account with over $2.2 million from his SLU salary. Money should not be an issue for him and I think it is likely that he chooses the retirement option after this year v. Trying to grind out another season with the same team who already is devoid of talent and chemistry. I'm not sure Crews is overly intelligent but if he decides to come back to this team, he would have to be dumb and crazy.
  4. Needs to happen at semester to shake things up. Status quo will result in a winless conference season. A forced transfer would send a message and maybe make a couple wins possible
  5. It's totally sensible that in 8 days we went from looking so great against NF and 25 minutes of great play against LV to this garbage show.
  6. I honestly don't know what to think. I didn't believe all the locker room insiders about the players blaming Crews for the Louisville loss, but this is embarrassing and would somewhat explain this debacle. It also demonstrates how emotionally fragile this team is a loss to every team on the schedule is possible going forward.
  7. Agreed, I hope we don't see the complaints about PT when the losses come and I would love to see MY turn into a leader rather than a head hanger. He should be the one rallying the troops, instead when things get tough he is currently best suited on the bench collecting himself. Finally played like a team last night though and it was fun to watch!
  8. MR can't shoot so can't have him in against the zone.
  9. I will say that they played much more in control tonight. Don't know the final turnover number, but the defense was much better and the turnovers although still too high were way less than 20 like we had during a stint earlier in the year. Eventhough MY had a really tough night, even he wasn't running the ball up the court out of control so eventhough they lost the final 2 games, at least they looked like they were playing more cohesively and hopefully that carries into next year
  10. I was worried about MY transferring, but man what happened to him???? I don't think he made a shot tonight. Missed 2 free throws and was 1 for like 10 from the floor with that 1 being a goal-tend. We were better all night without him on the floor. And, its a shame Gillman couldn't redshirt. He really could have used an extra year to get stronger as his careless passes and inability to blockout are really tough to overcome
  11. I'm blaming the slippery ball. Clearly hindered us multiple times throughout the game
