I think this is true enough within the scope of the first five games of conference play. That said, Bucky ball is still gimmick ball and it won't pan out over the long haul. I'd lay big money that Bucky never wins consistently at a high level in high major basketball. Miller's problems stem from defensive breakdowns by knuckleheads and inconsistent shooting. He can be blamed for the roster this season, and maybe failing to do enough to "adjust" to his players, but his goal is to build the program over the next couple of seasons, not maximize wins this season, which wouldn't do more than maybe get him into the tournament.

Could be right but that is what folks in Indiana thought about football. Never know, Hopefully our fair weather fans will stay with the team and we can go get some help in portal. We have a proven coach, just needs time and support to get it done.

Their actions clearly indicate they don't see the guard issue as nearly as big a problem as some fans do. They have the money and they would have spent it if they thought it was a must. Educated guess is that Sark thinks Arch's improvement largely negates the guard issue from a pass pro standpoint and they plan to emphasize outside zone in the run game. Differently stated, Sark clearly thinks getting big time weapons for Arch is much more important than getting a big time guard. More bang for the buck.

I want to start by saying I like Miller. I was skeptical of the hire, but watching him coach, I like him. Seems he's tough for some guys to take, so he's gotta get more of "his guys." Not enough shooting, and just not enough intelligent guard play on the defensive side. Wilcher has not panned out. Can't see him back next year. Heide is way too timid. Can't see him back next year. Mark, Pope and Weaver are out of eligibility if I'm not mistaken. I think Swain will be back unless he just wants to transfer. He's not a first or high second round pick. Be happy to keep Matas, but wouldn't pay him too much. Don't think it's a good idea to go into the season counting on Goosby and Ogden to be big time guys as freshmen. Need a PG that can spearhead the offense and defense. Obviously need a wing or two that can bridge to Goosby and Ogden. Then you need a couple of consistent role players/glue guys. Don't really care what happens the rest of this season as long as they don't collapse.

I am copying over what I wrote on the game thread. If I had read this first I would not have written what I did because it would have been pretty much a rubber stamp here. I wrote what I did on the other thread to point out how Jeff and Jordan's exchange, directly on point, fit my take on the game. So here again: I watched this game late last night from the recording I made while out to dinner with family. I have nothing specific to add, but I thought the more glaring shortcomings were on defense. Defensive focus is difficult to maintain. The second half against Vandy was an example of how well it can be done by this same team, this second half was not. In hindsight, I think Jeff's comment about lack of a strong 4 and Jordan's suggestion of a three guard lineup fit both the failures of the defense in the second half. Within the game and without hindsight there is the desire to keep enough outside shooting on the floor against a zone to keep up. In hindsight, playing three out would have likely improved the defensive intensity, as would have playing both Traore and Matas together. Would having more limited shooting options against a zone have made it worse? IDK. I think Miller will trot out these lineups situationally in other games to come and he and we will learn as the season progresses. There is this: were Wilcher or Weaver reliable shooters the whole problem would disappear because defensive intensity could be maintained without giving up outside shooting.

Note sure if anyone posted this… Johntay Cook has committed to Ol’ Miss.

How did Logic come into play? LOL

Here we go folks. Coach needs a win at home against the Farmers. Here's hoping Aaliyah Crump returns today! Jordan Lee needs to get her confidence back after a disastrous game at South Carolina. This team needs to realize how important possessions are in tight games. I expect to see Booker have a great game and not turn the ball over so much. Rori needs to not let her opponent beat her like Raven Johnson did Thursday. Defense, defense, defense!!

Hope he takes an nfl job asap

Thank God our coaches aren't as panicky as some of you folks on here. Our offensive line will be a strength this year! Plus our new running backs are the type that are shot out of a canon. They aren't waltzing along the line looking for an opening.

We can hardly track who’s in and who’s out. It seems they spend as much time retaining as searching outside then start over again the following day. I’m concerned with Guard too. I’m not sure we’re struggling though, TBD. Names will appear as late as Tuesday, might not have the answer for a week or more. Hang in there folks, bumpy ride isn’t over.

He wasn't as close to PK.

Not even close. Did you watch how close some of Texas games were early in the year? He called his players out after two games against nobodies. A&M only lose was in overtime against Tennessee. That’s the team that blew Texas out.

Gerry. Whats his hands size?

He was a good player. The question was is he SEC good or Conference USA good?

ok time to bring this thread back. Bald Wemby goin nuclear rn.

No

Is this guy another stud 5* QB prospect?

This type of summary would be awesome on the reg, I don’t know how anyone keeps up.

Definitely has the talent to play at a higher level. Will probably be a big time Senior riser.

he won’t end up at utsa, hunter is. better prospect than that

Nothing yet

ty isn’t a scramble he is a bit more pocket passer with some ability to love around

They have 4 losses and have only played 1 top 25 team and lost. While Texas has played 7 top 25 teams and is 3-4 Texas would be 17-1 with their schedule 😂

100%, couple of the Senior SV kids just committed to UTSA yesterday, Colton Hornsby and Caleb Barrow
