I think we will get one or both of those grad transfer bigs that are coming this weekend.

I call it how I see it! Would really like this teams chances to make the tournament if Morrow was still on the team but one thing I will give credit to Miles for is the talent hes brought. They had what? One 4* recruit in school history prior to him coming here?  Again great get esepcially given the circumstances. Now just get us a little more front court help Tim!

 

Losing Morrow obviously hurt...but, if we can get 20-25 minutes out of Jordy this upcoming year that will lessen the blow big time.  Jordy is going to be a load to handle if he can just keep himself on the court.

Can someone confirm that we now have 3 spots left?  And can someone else explain why it would be a bad idea to take both grad transfer bigs and also Ernst with those three spots?  Seems like that would be a great plan, as you have two options to help next year and Ernst for the long haul, while not tying up a scholarship for long with two of them.

Awesomeness.

Or one grad transfer, Ernst and Chandler.

 

Still think they want another sniper, too.

Not horrible but if it were me I would take one of them and then take a chance on someone like the kid from Central. Then we have a couple ships next year for another PG and whatever else we need.

[royalfan]

Good point.  I forgot about Chandler.  I am not sure what our chances are of getting Ernst.  I could live with both grad transfers and Chandler if we cannot get Ernst.  If we can pick the correct grad transfer, I would like Ernst, grad and Chandler better also.  This hinges on the coaches having a confident choice of grad transfer, and it may be tough as they are light years different in style which is why I don't hate getting both.

Also it's only April.  Guys are still going to continue to flip up should they guys not work out (and history shows they often don't)

I am good with that plan

Other than the months he was committed to NC State? 

[Thattimeofyear4]

I wish I knew for sure but for some reason
I think the Dube kid would be good for coming off the bench didn't really know m7ch about the other kid but after seeing this I'm all aboard but the knee issue worries me

Wish I knew but I'm really liking the Dube kid for some reason.
I wouldn't mind having him come of the bench when jordy gets in some foul trouble.
I haven't had time to check out the

Okay,  He say he is committed BUT, with this being the signing period, IS HE SIGNED?????

[FredsSlacks]

is it fair to say anton gill may be indirectly responsible for us getting both copeland and allen?

[HuskerCager]

Could some positive vibes be enough for either MJ or EM to reconsider their transfer plans?  I know, it's unlikely, but Gallegos did it a couple of years ago.

[busticket]

Man, just when it felt like Miles' program was taking on water faster than the Titanic he pulls a life raft out of his keister.  I was at the point where I thought we may have to settle for all grad transfers with the uncertainty surrounding Miles' long term job status. I was shocked when I heard this news.  All of a sudden I am now feeling kind of positive with our future backcourt coming in next year.  Both kids look like they can stroke it from deep.  When is the last time we had a 1 and a 2 who were (potentially) knock down shooters?

All of you guys that are the sky is falling, just need to relax and let Miles do his job like he did today.

Or like he did the last 3 years?

 

its fair to have major doubts/concerns at this point.   It's also fair to say that he did a great job today as well.   Allen is a hell of a pickup.    It doesn't erase the last few years though 

 

 

[Bugeaters1]

He will get it done, give it time brother.

He's had the time.

 

Whether he does or not remains to be seen.   Certainly doesn't have any more excuses.  The players are there and if they aren't...it's on him.

Thanks Eeyore.

My bad.....we've been terrific!

Relax, @nustudent

 

We're all thinking it.  The record is out there for everyone to see and it's painfully clear that it hasn't happened the way anyone has wanted it to.  And yes, change will happen when it needs to.  NOT when you or any of us thinks it should.

 

We are just trying to give some positive vibes to the program here.  Call it blind faith, call it delusion, call it what you want but realize that we as fans have a job...and that is to support those kids that go out there and play their guts out for us.  They do it for us, for the school we love (and in some cases call our alma mater), they do it for themselves, and yes, they even do it for their coaches.

 

What we can do is support them, come hell or high water, and the choice they made to play for all the reasons listed above.  That means shutting out negative thoughts and give them a chance to prove us wrong.  They at least deserve that, okay?

 

Bringing the room down with constant jabs is not helping.  Negativity breeds like vermin.  Can we just please let it go?  Thanks.

Be positive....that's fine..but be realistic too.   I'll be the first to admit...he's got some tools.   There are some pieces here.   He's done a good job bringing in guys.   That can't be argued.   But I think we've seen enough to stay balanced too.   

Supporting them and being irrational are not mutually exclusive.   Rooting every game for a team does not mean you have to have a distorted view of what they actually are.

 

I won't argue with anyone who says that we have the apparent pieces now to be a good team.   Can't subscribe to the theory that it's a foregone conclusion though.
