Not for nothing but it’s amazing how similar Ian Jackson’s and Oziyah (boy autocorrect doesn’t like that) Seller’s numbers are.

I have been watching this circus since mid 80’s. We just came off of a historically successful season that ended with a bad matchup. But gave an old fan base a season to remember considering the years of pain all of of us old school fans have seen. Now we have a solid core returning with a bunch of high level kids coming in and we are losing our shit? What am I missing? This is as good as it gets. Great coach and another run at it next year. Wake up! We have the best coach in the country for another 4 years and that will be hard to duplicate when he leaves.. Enjoy this time. We will compete at the highest level next year in front of a packed MSG while being a top ten team. Get Marilac’s MSG hype video out and jump on board!

A pillar of logic. Thank you.

Who is losing their shit?

There is a great roster in place. But the most important position in college basketball is guard. Namely point guard. We had 2 last year. 2 high level point guards. And we won 30 games. Right now we have 0.

If anyone thinks the sky is falling they are nuts. But all I see here is dedicated fans pointing out the obvious that the most important position on the floor is empty right now. And if you look at portal position rankings. There aren’t many top flight pgs right now. Someone could enter yes. Tuesday is deadline.

Trust in Rick. He earned it. Only his opinion counts. If it does not work out, maybe second guess next year. Maybe. I doubt there will be cause to complain but we shall see.

I don't love McDaniel either. However, the kid went for 11 points/5 assists/3 rebounds last year. His 3-point shooting percentage was off his career average, but he can shoot it. I am not advocating for Dug, but he is no slouch.

Pitino loves big guards. Mug not a big guard. Can’t switch with Mug.

What happened to Dillon Mitchell?

Ship has seemingly sailed. Coach does not promise starting positions.

 

[Joedib]

Carmine Calzonetti has a year of eligibility left. Pass first. Tall, defends. Can hit the open shot. Little nil investment. Let’s roll!

 

[Show me the NIL]

Ship has seemingly sailed. Coach does not promise starting positions.

I would have promised him a starting position, and also promised that he would finish the last 10 on the bench with his 39 percent free throw average!

A very early good morning to you 3:56 am
Enlighten me please.
Query: are we creating a system that will require a heroic portal recruiting effort every year?
I mean - and of course it’s terrific this current success - however seems most/much of our team will have only a single year of eligibility etc.
So much turnover. In the Apple. (pardon me) Apple turnovers. Hmmn.
Then what about 2026-27 season?
Thank You
