Well, I don't know much about him but, from looking at his numbers, he has a scorer's mentality. He's not gun-shy (13.5 shot attempts per game last season; only 3 free throw attempts per game though). He was 4th in his conference in overall field goal attempts and 5th in three point attempts...

I'm not so sure about that. Many of these people see Johnson as nothing but an incompetent affirmative action hire who got the job for those reasons over far more deserving people. For some of those, that resentment won't subside even with better success. There are also some who had other...

First of all, shove your snarky attitude up your ass, jerk off. I deal politely with gentlemen. The rest of the riff-raff who post here can go to hell. I don't have a problem with Fleck's approach per se but I'm not the coach. I think that's something many of you fail to grasp. YOU'RE NOT...

Slight technical correction: Stockman played his one year when Oturu was a freshman. But, your point is well taken. Stockman would have been much more valuable when he transferred had the one-time transfer rule been in effect at the time. The fact that he had to sit out a year diminished his...

The problem I have with reinstating the sit-out is that seems like throwing out the baby with the bath water.

Agree with that bolded part completely. Mostly agree with the last but I think there would have been promising mid-major coaches with a track record who would have accepted this job.

That's interesting. Wonder how much he got for that? If it was $300 or less, fine. If it was $3,000, then that's a problem.

I don't think they should bring back the sit-out requirement (although I think they should enforce the one-time transfer rule more strictly) but I think they should declare the player ineligible and possibly take any available measures they can against these "agents."

Well, let me educate you about that. As of 8:54 AM Central Time this morning, there were exactly 115 uncommitted centers listed on Verbal Commits. There are fewer centers listed than any other position. Also, the center listing is a little uncertain. Some of those listed as centers really...

So cheating only counts if you're the worst cheater? Four years of probation would say otherwise.

I agree with you 100% about the treatment of Tubby but I think the treatment of Pitino should have been more encouraging to a potential coaching hire. He was a mediocre coach but he still lasted 8 years here.

Well, if it makes you so miserable, watch something else next basketball season.

I'm thinking he'll hold his ground when taking a charge.

Hopefully, he is shooting more for that for next season. He's already failed twice with his 36 starter minutes per game style.

Samuels, at least on paper, was a reasonable choice at the time for Johnson's likely goals: a one-year backup point who would play limited minutes. His mistake was not getting another transfer guard which he could have done. If you look at Johnson's recruiting career (freshmen and transfers as...

It was a decision. I've watched the portal very closely and continuously since 2021. Few transfers have been mentioned here that I haven't checked out before they were mentioned on this board. There were almost 1800 players in the portal last season and there were more than a few guards who...

I don't agree that we "couldn't get anyone." I agree with Johnnyboy (above). This was a choice made by the coach and a bad one. Two years in a row Johnson gave up on the portal recruiting too quickly. I understand it in the first year. He was a new coach, he had already had to recruit an...

In that situation, I'd say no. He'll probably try to find a backup/spot playing big and that's all. He'll want to have room for Carrington, Christie, and Betts to play. He'll let the forward situation work itself out.

I want Wrightsell AND I want Pride. We had a Charlie Daniels, now it is time for a Charlie Pride!

I attribute this phenomena to people not weighting all events equally and instead giving great weight to the best performances because they are more memorable. For example, some people here over the years have maintained that Pitino was about as successful of a coach as Tubby. That's flat out...
