I mean you have posted that the roster is good and people are wrong to think otherwise. So aren't you doing the same and deciding the roster is good without a single practice? It goes both ways.
Agree 100% it does go both ways. I have said we will not know what to expect until they all get here, be it 11, 12,13 guys on campus and let them start gelling. They could all hate each other and be the worst team in the history of college basketball. They would all have the biggest jump in production and be the Harlem Globetrotters. Both are very unlikely but we will not know what we have till we get them going.
I do however trust Mark Pope, his analytics for his system and the players he has chosen. That is all we have to go on right now.
I have said it a ton, there were several players in the portal I would have went after, I am not the coach, I do not have the system, the staff and then vision that Mark Pope has, anyone on this board that says they do is kidding themselves.
I for one will give CMP a free pass this year 100%. If we do not win a game, free pass. I will be mad, I will say something but will back him 100%. If Cal was our coach, I would not watch 1 minute of 1 game this year (live), I would do what I did this past year and only watch after the game is over. That way I knew if I wanted to see the game or avoid the wreck.
I will be in Rupp this year, I will watch live on TV (yes Boogie UK will still be on TV just as much as they always have). I will be on here reading the guys that hate the hired pointing out every flaw, the guys that back Pope (me included defending the hire) and so forth.
The wheels on the BIG BLUE Caravan go round and round. We will always debate this kind of stuff. We will always stick up for our side of the situation. I do not blame anyone from sticking up for themselves and what they believe. I might say I am totally on the opposite side of things but that make it interesting. If I call you crazy, make a wild post, or whatever, it is out of BIG BLUE LOVE. Do not take it personal, I will try to do the same when you all do it to me.
