I mean-- the dude didn't get a single minute of playing time.  So I can't fault him for leaving....

They do sometimes play each other midweek, but the midweek games are counted as non-con games. Oklahoma & Okla State sometimes do the same thing once a year, usually at Bricktown or Tulsa's minor league park, or at least they used to. I think OU & OSU even went through a stretch where they'd play the 3 conference games at home, on the road, and neutral within one weekend.
 

We've really signed two guys who, with the right change of scenery, could absolutely EXCEL under Fred.  If they come in with the right mindset-- look out!

I'm like 51% sure that this guy posted a "I'm back" about tOSU earlier this month.  LOL.  Just goes to show, never stop fearing until the portal closes.

Shoot-- if we can just leap to where we were last year, that would be a huge plus.

Run rule Sunday!  I'll take 2/3 from Maryland.
 
For goodness sakes get a mid-week win, take 2/3 from Iowa and the schedule sets up nice for a couple of sweep chances in the last three weekend of the season!

He did

Great answer from the boys today!  Especially from the bats.  

It probably also helps too that you can go back and see that Fred truly does play the hot hand.  So coming off the bench doesn't automatically assume you're getting less than starters minutes.  How many times did JLaw play a ton of minutes off the bench late or how many times did KT ride the bench on his off nights for extended periods of time.
 
I think Fred does a really good job of not getting caught up in how many minutes a guy has or hasn't played and rides who is hot more often than not.

We also have to trust that Fred knows what he’s looking for now.  He’s got the formula to the secret sauce that works for him.  I don’t think he’d go away from that just to get more athletic.  I’m going to go out on a limb and say Fred was completely transparent and honest with what he expected and envisioned for each player we’ve recruited.
 
I would hope, much like Boogie, that each player took that to heart before committing and they know that we expect ‘we over me’.

I mean— he played 7 MPG last year.  I’d venture to say we can offer more than that off the bench, so next exactly parallel move— even though he might still be projected to come off the bench.

I wouldn’t necessarily call a multiple year starting PG at Utah, a former top 25 SG, and a big man who we beat another B1G team (who was closer to home than us) underwhelming.  Especially when we’ve basically upgraded/equaled out each position we’ve lost.
 
Lawrence - Woosley 
Diop/Keita - Morgan 
Rice/Tominaga - Griffiths
 
and we still have 3 ships to fill.

Biggest Fear #204748- We get torched by a former player in a game that matters.
 
Best of luck to Eli.  Hope he finds a solid role and scores 15 PPG except against us.

Dude is an absolute legend and his fame continues to grow!
