Armon was processed. Moser playing chess while the rest of the country is playing checkers.

Can't scout, can't recruit, can't develop, and when they leave somehow they're generational talents. It's amazing.

We did not have Fears at this point last year, and landing a guy like him wasn't on our radar. In no way am I saying we will be better than last year, but it definitely feels better that it did 12 months ago. We were hemorrhaging talent and striking out on all of our top guys last year, some...

Kinda hard to argue this dosen't feel better than at this time last year. Not saying much...but undeniable truth.

Lon completely lost the team in one the worst collapses in school history. Only so much blame I'm willing to give an 18 year old.

I think you're totally onto something about nobody wanting to coach with Moser, especially seeing as they've coached together in multiple locations. He probably shares the same concerns as yourself, namely that he wears shirts that are too tight, puts product in his hair, and spoke at a frat...

The only right answers are Blake or Wayman. Your answer is a pretty clear dividing line of age on this board. If we were picking somebody who didn't have an NBA career, Hollis. A big would be hard to pass on, though, so guys like McGhee, Taj, and Osby come to mind. Given our track record...

I haven't enjoyed the Moser era at all. But the goalposts are constantly moving with some here. You simply can't say in some posts that Moser has absolutely no eye for talent or ability to recruit HS players...and then in later posts talk about how Fears, Uzan, and Oweh are all-world. There...

Was Fears great scouting or great development?

Can't say I'm overly optimistic about our portal season, but pretending our staff is just sitting on their hands is silly. Effective? Maybe not. But they aren't sitting around playing Madden 40 hours a week.

Not really to me. In the past few years it was complaints that our guys were going to high-level schools. Now it's lower level schools. Players will always leave, and it will be one or the other.

Moser has a better track record of getting Fears kids in the NBA.

I'm not happy at all with 6-12, but I think it's disingenuous to leave off the fact that there were other teams in conference that made the tourney with the same record, so it wasn't a fluke. Our conference has 7 teams in the Sweet 16, some of which have losing conference records, and many of...

Fraction of what they spend in football.

And yes, I understand that football always has and always will be supported more strongly than basketball. The same was grumbled about during the Tubbs and Sampson eras. The same is also true of all but about five power conference programs in the entire country. Alabama absolutely cares more...
