Agreed

Meh. We started 5 Top 150 players with an average star rating of 4.2. There probably aren't more than 15 teams in the country that can say that. Things weren't exactly going smooth at the time of Cope's injury. We can say that more talent would help...but we haven't been getting a lot out of the talent we had.

Those teams also had a handful of high quality wins too. As of right now, we don't. Indiana has fallen apart. Clemson, Seton Hall and Creighton are serviceable, but they need to finish strong. Don't think any of those 4 teams are in the NCAA if it started today

Last salary update for Sampson at Houston I saw had him around $1.6M. We can more than double that if we want

I have no issues with the transfers. None. Huge variable for us. What I fault him on is bad roster management. I.E. Lack of front court players, stopping short on scholarships, losing other guys for a year to sit out on top of being short on ships, hodgepodge group of players There's no doubt he has brought in a number of talented individual players. There is a serious doubt about how they mesh and fit together.

You really think he researched when the extension was the previous year? It's interesting that this is only brought up after the fact. I won't deny that long term stability of a coach is a factor. More likely than anything, he saw Miles 2nd straight losing season and 3rd in 4 years and did the math himself. But I think the contract extension angle is b.s. and a strawman created to blame the administration for Miles failures. I'm no fan of Eichorst and have said he really put us into a bad spot last year...but we can't lay all of Miles failures at his feet.

But wasn't the decision to not extend Miles made at a retreat during the summer? Garza wasn't even mentioning us in early June. Doesn't add up. It's grasping at straws.

Considering the article listed in the link above from June 2016 didn't even mention us and the news of the no extension broke in August 2016, I think its safe to say he was gone.

It's a concern...but if we lose one two year player...so be it. That being said....if we are aggressive for a change with a coaching search....you might just be surprised in what the right coach could do to encourage him to stay

I agree....and don't get me wrong...I'm not defending those two....I'm just saying at the end of the day.....if the rest of this season goes at it feels it will, there's not going to be a huge amount of difference between the three regimes, regardless of how it got there. Different ingredients, same poor tasting recipe.

Not a good reason

Why knock Collier/Sadler though? I think Miles has brought in better individual talent than those guys. But his results are going to end up pretty darn similar when it is all said and done. And yes...Miles has played a tougher non-con and in the Big Ten. He also had two new facilities in his back pocket as well.

A. Not by me. Of all the issues I have with Miles, transfers are not near the top of my list. B. Also think there is a big difference to go that route in year 1 or year 2 when trying to rebuild and still going that route in years 6,7, or 8.

Transfer market makes it much different in today’s world though

Don’t know if Moos will hire a coach who will be successful here. I do know after squandering the talent we had this year, I have no faith in Miles to get it done

Think he and Boehm know each other too

Who cares. Hire a good coach for a change and it takes care of itself

End it. Let Lewis finish it

We're starting all over anyways. We lose 3, possibly 4 starters and your number 6 guy off the bench in Borchardt (using the roster before the Copeland injury. Next year is a rebuild regardless. Hire a proven winner if you want to win.

yes

Indiana will give Miller this year.

Kelvin Sampson

Not wrong at all.

Have to love what Borchardt does. Been a great effort player this year

Why Roby?
