Any team that is in the top ten is in final four talk.
Exactly! Finally someone who's speaking facts.
I don't think we have peaked. We will lose a few games, no doubt . . . but we will make the tournament and have a real chance to make a run. It would not surprise me to see us lose 6 or 7 more games--maybe more, but we will be okay.
He gets a pass for sure. But the fact that he was all in on guys like Butler, Oweh, Williams - and Jaxson for that matter, is concerning. He went hard after some dudes that aren’t even fringe G-League guys. And other teams are having major impact transfers.
What did you expect him to go after? A large chunk of players had already found their transfer home, very little time to recruit any undecideds. Did you expect it to be easy to get even one commit from a transfer when the roster was completely bare? He had to get guys to buy in to A LOT of uncertainty just to get any dominos to fall. The roster, in that regard, is pretty incredible.
Our roster isn’t fixable. We simply lack athleticism, high level skill, and reliable perimeter shooting.
How dare u make a honest opinion on a message board. U should be banned.
He didn't say nothing about being a final four team but way to get your shots in first
Another positive post from you! Keep it up! You are only happy if you can be negative as hell
Awwww show me on the little teddy bear where I hurt you 🥹🥹🥹
The problem isn’t someone’s ability to post an opinion, it’s their inability to handle a different opinion.
On a side note, I was the nut who said Pope was a great hire on day one. 99 percent of the replies called me an idiot. I say this is a final four team. We shall see.
You weren’t the only nut. Check my post history and you’ll see I was right here with you.
Just the fact that we are ranked top 10 with a chance at a great season is remarkable considering we don’t have any real top flight talent. Remarkable job by the team so far. I love this squad. I hope they overachieve all the way to final 4 or better!
I didn’t know if he would be great but I’ve always liked the way he coached teams and I knew he would give it his all here. He’s a great fit. If he gets real talent watch out and it seems like he’s going too. If we return what we should, a couple guys take the next step with our freshman class, and hopefully Wilson. Add 2-3 stud transfers and we are cooking for next year too.
“Our” roster?
Other teams weren’t constructing entire rosters. What he did in the short amount of time is amazing and he should get credit for it. Now he should never have to do it again. We should have time to recruit solid high school prospects to go along with transfers and hold overs. This team may not make a final four maybe they will but they have performed respectfully thus far and are for the most part fun to watch. They have a chance, that’s really at the start all we were looking for in year one.
Way too early to cut the nets down.....remember the OSU beatdown?? Wait until we play 5 or 6 conference games before you even begin talking FF.
Could not agree more. Way too much casual play, even against top tier teams. That’s why we have 2 big comebacks bc the casual play allowed the big deficit. And also the hero ball u refer to is spot on. We have a few guys that try to get too cute when things are going on and they are quickly reminded that they’re not John wall or Jamal Murray, etc. Because it rarely ends in a positive way. Just play with good intensity on defense, run the offense, block out and rebound like crazy, and we will be fine.
