It also got rid of the cancer types and set a tone. I value that in building as well. Keeping those inefficient guys wasn’t going to help that. Plus they weren’t good except for Johnson and Gabe who from my understanding they did try and keep.
Please stop with the Clem road map, that was over 30 years ago, none of the current players were even born yet. As much as I appreciate what Clem did, if he were coaching today his methods would not work. You constantly want to ignore that many coaches are able to turn programs around quickly, and that’s your prerogative, but stop with the basically calling people dumb if they ‘ignore’ your example of Clem. It’s ironic you are doing the exact same thing as the people who ‘ignore’ your Clem example, you just ignore the numerous coaches whom are turning programs around in a very short time frame. Just stop already. Bottom line, BJ is not turning this around quickly, there are numerous coaches who have done a better job than BJ, nobody wants to fire BJ today. Done. Some people don’t think BJ should have been hired, just accept it, they are not saying fire him now. They may be right or they may be wrong, we will find out in the next two years.
One of these records is not like the other (I'm not going to include Randy Bennet at St. Mary's from 20 years ago):
All I ask is that you guys specify what you want from a coach. Don't say 'rebuild' (which implies ground-up with recruiting) when you really expect 'instant'.
Who in college basketball has defined rebuild as ground up via recruiting? And recruiting also counts portal players. And BTW, Ben has portal players (Garcia, Cooper, Battle, Samuels). Three of which represent almost all of our offense and count as some of our main future assets.
Some folks need to define it in a way where all criticism for the next couple of years will be a sign of the person "not getting it".
If only recruiting high schoolers counts… there would be zero rebuilds in college basketball
And the only ones that count are the ones that are still on the team and playing because Thompson and Thiam do not count.
This thread was about a poll of UST would ever at all be ahead of the gophers on the season, which happened.
That must have been very exciting for you. To my question, is a big ten loss worth more than a summit league win?
Doesn’t change the nature of the poll. Still a fan of the gophers. And I think all are outweighed by a 120+ year old big10 school being lower ranked (even for a day) in the kenpom compared to UST who has D3 players on the roster in their second year ever as they transition to D1 (happened multiple times this year).
So... loss vs Illinois > summit league win. Got it.
So being behind UST in KenPom for a day is okay when they are in year 2. Got it.
I don't think it matters. It's a pretty worthless poll when comparing the two teams. And you say UST is doing it with D3 players while also claiming three (or more) would play for the Gophers? Not sure how that makes sense.
Do they not have Riley Miller, will Engels, Bjorklund …all three are contributors and D3 players.
Not Blue > Samuels? Yikes.
As a lawyer, that's not only a compliment but you also ended this in a very dramatic way. LOL
Good catch. Hit reply before catching that. He is clearly better than Samuels.
Are you really confused by this?
Not really that clear since one plays in the Big Ten and the other in the Summit. But probably...I may agree if I could watch their games without supporting ESPN every month.
You support comcast with as the gophers are not on ESPN often, BTN requires a surcharge to every customer. Just drive the extra 8 minutes and watch once.
A quick search shows that seven players on the UST roster are D1 recruits.
So it kind of sounds like it's both D3 and D1 players. You figured it out
.I interpreted the post I responded to as they had all D3 recruits that got moved up. I obviously misinterpreted, but that's what dialogue is for.So it kind of sounds like it's both D3 and D1 players. You figured it out
We'll see.
