Good read and liked the quote toward the end.... "I do think that many teams who overspend on bigs trying to chase the Michigan blueprint will end up being disappointed with the production they get from their rosters. Teams that buck the trend by seeking value elsewhere may be more successful."...

Yeah I think Willie Warren or Tony Gallon in the teens (14 maybe) may have been the highest since recruiting rankings began.

agree with your point, but I'd rather have a 6'10" guy that is athletic enough or dominant enough at one point to earn a top 35 ranking than filling out the roster with guys not ranked nearly as high who might have started or performed well in a lesser conference. It seems like those guys...

If we need 7-9 guys, Barrett would be a take for me- for depth and solid minutes. But from all the guys in the portal, and he's the starting G with X, and the off-ball deep threat, we've missed big-time.

Yeah, to both of your comments, it's frustrating how 1-2 years behind our admin and leadership have been on NIL. Even now, I think they feel that if they can up last year's budget by 30-40%, we're at $10M and that will get us where we need to be. Nah, $10M was needed LAST year. Now, looks...

Man if he could play in the paint like Ro did with handles, or Nolan Johnson, with his corner shot, he could be potent.

Agreed. Love DReid, but he needs to get stronger, especially around the basket. Would love for him to be able to post up on mismatches, which he didn't do well. Both him and Tae weren't great finishers at the rim, outside of lobs or dunks. Tae did better during the postseason, but would like...

I think we need shooters even if Sparky stays. His shooting % from the deep could have been impacted by the ankles, but he is not a solid, consistent shooter from deep. Agree with you- need shooters, D, and inside presence. I know part of that is the 1:4 or 5 out sets Moser runs, but look at...

Yep this is my biggest fear. Denny admits the obvious about the program needing more out of the admin, and BMDs, but can’t deliver the support and resources he said needed to happen. As a result, even with an incremental uptake, we are stuck in the same place next year because nothing off the...

Yep, lost to Stanford, IIRC. Billy got tossed in that game.

Moser trimmed the bench down the stretch big time but not having Sparky as a 3rd guard and ball handler could create some issue. Especially if game(s) are tight or Nigel gets in FT. Could see Tae Davis or Reid playing point forward some would be my guess.

Look, I’ve made known that I feel it’s time to move on to a new coach. And while I know the anger that Moser is still here is palatable, and the discussion why continues, he’s our coach and we have games left to play. Onto the discussion about the Crown… In CO this week on business and going...

Not exactly. It would be akin to saying the goalie does everything right to keep the puck out of the net enough to compete for championships. Plus, that’s all a goalie really does is protect the net. If you look at career wins, Dick Motta is in the NBA top 15. A lot of teams hired him as...

Agreed. And even though the core issues are bigger than him, I got to believe they can do better than him. But you’re right, Moser has done just about everything right you would want as a HC…except win enough games. And it’s a performance based business where winning enough games is a...

His family is giving him bad advice then. Did they really think he deserved more minutes or a starting role over Nigel or X? Really?? He might be a starter at another school, but not a major P4 school. Nothing wrong with being the 6th man. Crap, the NBA gives an award for it. When healthy...
