[quote="MJDinkins" post=292566][quote="Room112" post=292549]We're approaching what looks to be one of our most exciting seasons in a couple of decades, and this board is borderline unreadable! So much complaining about the same topics over and over again. What's worse is when the usual suspects come crawling out of the woodwork to pile on. Between reading the constant unrealistic expectations and post after post filled with misery and complaining, I truly believe half of this board is more happy when things are bad and they can complain about it.[/quote]
What are these "unrealistic expectations" you continue to speak of? This is part of the deflection and tomfoolery I spoke of earlier. I can't recall anyone truly being unrealistic in their expectations.
We haven't had many "exciting seasons" in the past two decades (I'll admit), so I can probably count on one hand the "exciting seasons" we've had in the past two decades. Basically, you're stating this upcoming season will exceed any of Lavin's seasons, and we should be expecting a season similar to Jarvis' first two seasons at St. John's, right? Being this looks to be one of our most exciting seasons in two decades, eh? That's practically what you're conveying. Who's being unrealistic now?
Lastly, it's been mentioned on several occasions that most are looking forward to the '18'-'19 season, but there are concerns going forward. Several folks feel those concerns are legitimate and shouldn't be ignored. Those concerns aren't all related to what is going on on the court and sidelines.[/quote]
Unrealistic expectations around recrutiing. I keep reading comments of many who are expecting 5 star recruits to choose us. This isn't 1998.
