     We are well on our way to tampering expectations again for Miles sixth year. 

    Really hope our fans are better than that. We are WELL past the "transfers happen in college basketball all the time!" phase.

  2. Miles will be gone soon enough. What an awful decision.... Omaha has produced 13 D1 players who started in the past 6 years... one started a game for Nebraska. Thats a JOKE

    How many of those players started for major conference teams?  Also I feel like you're including Deverell Biggs and Akoy Agau in that list, which is also a JOKE

     

    I can't believe people are worked up over this.  

     

    A) We aren't a charity, players have to develop and continue to earn their scholarship throughout high school and college.  

     

    B) In state talent also rarely works out.  Mike Gessel is basically the only in state player to make any sort of impact at a major conference school the last 10 years, and that impact was 8ppg on less than 40% shooting.  Wow, incredible.

     

    C) Miles doesn't need to recruit Omaha to be successful.  He needs to get the best players regardless of where they're from.  If we start winning, local coaches will forget about this and want their players to play for him.

    I would assume Pitch leaving helps are chances of keeping TP. I get the feeling TP was not a big fan of Pitchfords work ethic.

    That is an assumption.

    This will only help us if we want him to stay.

    I spoke with my source tonight. Pitchford leaving caught everyone by surprise. They fully expected him to remain with the team next season.

    Nothing new on TP.

    I do want to dispel any notion that Pitchford had a questionable work ethic. Pitchford worked hard on his game last summer, albeit with less fan fare than TP.

    I have NO truth to this statement, but did your source mention this maybe being a "mutual" agreement with the staff and Walt P?  Just curious if there is more to this story than we know.

    A "mutual agreement" was not part of the discussion I had earlier tonight. However, based upon the tenor of the conversation, it seems like Pitchford's announcement really caught everyone off guard.

    As far as Haymarket Husker's assertion about Pitchford's work ethic, I have been told something different. The person I talk to never sugarcoats the info that is shared with me. I have been told some very interesting stuff, some of it very negative. However, I have chosen not to share most of what I am told.

     

    I'm not trying to discredit your source and appreciate the information you bring, but unless the staff and players are completely out of touch there's no way Walt's departure would come as a surprise to them.  I'm going to leave it at that out of respect for all parties.

  4. I actually liked what I saw out of Hammond in the Iowa game. I know he picked up a few fouls in his limited action, but I thought his defensive positioning was pretty solid and the calls were questionable. If you add 20lbs to his frame, he'll likely get away with more because he'll be able to hold his ground down there.

    I also think Jacobson will be able to contribute fairly early. He's already a pretty big dude.

    Morrow isn't necessarily a big, but he could join the team tomorrow and be our best rebounder.

    Pair those 3 with Walt and possibly Fuller and I think we're looking alright.

    Our offense should naturally be much improved with the additions of White, McVeigh, and Watson so we really just need solid defense and rebounding from our front court and we'll be fine.

  5. Aaron Brown of Southern Miss leaving...would be eligible right away.....Maybe Doc can hook us up?

    (I apologize if this has been posted already)

    I think it's safe to say if he's leaving USM, he and Doc probably aren't on the best terms.

    I also don't think we need a guard. Leave that scholarship open on case a big becomes available at the last minute.
