Sallis is not close to being a one and done type player.

Prolly stating the obvious here omitting Green, but technically a premature announcement.

not a damn thing wrong with what he said

I wouldn’t call it spinning. It’s just reality. Way too many are in denial about how bad it was after 20 years of Perlman trying to run the athletic department, and several years of his minion Eichorst and his ridiculous choice of a head football coach. Also in denial of how hard it would be to get back to respectability.

I guarantee you the coaches are starting to worry. Could go either way at this point. Just part of the business. The “still trying” part of recruiting in year 4 isn’t a great look at $650k a year and taking over a strong program. Hopefully we’ll start to land better talent, but now’s the time. These coaches are great people and I’m pulling for them, but there are ominous signs.

Could be. But that can change quickly, especially with a couple of days off and then a long week of practice. If we can get by Michigan, I think we play NW tough. We darn near beat them on their floor, so we know we can play with them. NW could be rusty after a long layoff and the conference co-title celebration. Yeah, I could be reaching a bit, but what the heck.

I never argued for Bo Spencer. You brought him up. There are money other transfers listed in this thread, all of whom were dramatically more impactful than AW III. It has nothing to do with bygones. Petteway, Palmer, Copeland, Farmer, Jackman, Drevo, Robinson, all contributed more than White, without the negatives. So yeah, whatever on AWIII.

Well, whatever on AW III. Practiced for a year. Played inconsistently on a team that didn't make the postseason. Bolted for no logical reason too late for us to recruit his spot. Hardly "great for the Big Red."

Well, you're still eligible to play point guard then!

Spencer was more net positive than AW III

Did you miss 3 in a row?

No. Only played one year. All the others listed played a lot more than this guy. He was hardly great for the Big Red. Led us to exactly no post-season play. Net impact on the program was extremely negative.

The late arrival to the post-game show is a non -issue. Has happened fairly often in the past. Sometime you just need some time with your team. Wouldn't surprise me if we win a couple games in the tourney. It's nice being in the opposite bracket of Maryland.

Really just a band of unskilled misfits. Hard to be a team in that situation. If they could shoot they’d probably be elsewhere.

You can’t be serious about Mack being an NBA point guard. He is as far away from running an NBA team as I am. Those teams aren’t exactly looking for undersized point guards who can’t finish through contact or make free throws. It’s no shame to be a Euro player, and that’s where Cam will be. Not even close to being an NBA player. Would have to get a lot bigger and shoot it WAY better.

Is there a guard anywhere in America who could miss all 3 free throws after being fouled on a 3? That epic fail at the end of the first half was remarkable.

I'll take that action every day of the week and twice on sundays.

If the powers that be think yes, that is further support for the proposition that a certain 2 guard who formerly was a juco and is named after a color will be somewhere else next year.

good use of the word "current". That will evolve.

He's N. Matt A. is the king of the transfer market.

Encouraging.

I have no doubt about the curse.

what sucks is I had that same conversation with my 4 year old....21 years ago.

I don’t know if you have been watching the games, but in the rare instances when Cam is on the bench, our offense seems to, like, do nothing. Like not get run. And the folks looking at the bench to see if he’s coming back in, well, it’s palpable.

Ok, you're crazy.
