MBB TPT2 TRANSFER PORTAL THREAD 2

Does this bug anybody else?

It's who he is.

And it's why this place is a ghost town far too often. Nobody can say anything for fear of clown responses like this. Can't have a discussion. Can't disagree, or have a different take.

Sad, really.

in no way is he the reason this place is a ghost town sometimes ..

i have had tons and tons of DM's asking me to limit some people or complaints

0 life time about him ...


also have had long term posters let me know that will be around less because of 1 or 2 people that post often and always about that same things in every thread ..

I don't' want to ban anyone ... but at some point i might have too

Coach is very positive and quick to dismiss negativity. I understand how he frustrates pessimistic fans (which I have often been this past decade), but to say that people aren't posting out of fear of his response is comical (or perhaps LOLOLOLable).

Doesn’t bug me at all.

This is a message board. I expect a fair bit of trolling, immature responses. I am guilty of it from time to time. It isn’t that serious.

Put me in the camp that hopes Coach never stops posting. Not that it matters much, but he is 1 of the primary reasons I am still here.

Give me a break.

The last week is a perfect example. Since the last time you jumped on Wichita for trying to have a discussion, this place has been a ghost town. Some of that is because it's a slow time of the year. I won't disagree. But absolutely NONE of that is because of 1 or 2 posters as you put it. That is silly. Again, nobody wants to actually have a conversation or friendly debate. And that includes you too. So enjoy the slow board. Enjoy no actual conversations. All this board is good for is posting a bunch of names in the offseason that hop into the Portal that we don't have a chance in you know where of landing, or making excuses for poor team play in game threads during the season. Any other discussion? Turns to crap because of too many immature posters that can't deal with people having an opinion that differs from their own.
 
Any action on a big for last scholarship or are we just winging it? Hugley and Godwin are the only experienced Bigs. Hugley and Yaya have had injuries and Bigs seem more injury prone. Seem short on rim protection?


> John Hugley IV (6'9; 265; C) previous injuries, experienced
> Yaya Keita (6'9; 240; C) previous injuries
> Sam Godwin (6'10; 226; C) experienced
> Luke Northweather (6'11; 232; F)
 
I guess I thought Hump would be more effective at recruiting post players. Seems that’s not true.

I thought he would be more effective as well. However, if he's just getting out-bid all the time, how much of it would really be his fault? I just hope we can at least still land a "4" who can provide some quality minutes.
 
I've seen dismissive posts like the LOL post from many different sources. I don't like any such post, but that one's no worse than many others (apart from its lack of specificity, which is not unique to that post either--it didn't tell me exactly Coach was disagreeing with).

I'm all for increasing civility on the board, but it would have to be across the board. Calling a post idiotic or telling someone to put down the crack pipe or anything along those lines is just as bad and we've certainly seen those kind of posts here many times.

Telling someone where they're wrong or why you disagree with them is one thing; demeaning them or insulting their intelligence is quite another. I'd love to see the latter end (and if I've been guilty of such posts in the past, and I probably have--shame on me, too).

I don’t recall ever seeing you demean or insult another poster, Sky. You are as classy as it gets on a message board.

You're kind to say so, but I'm not sure chenohawk (am I remembering that handle correctly?) would agree with you.

Hahah that is hilarious. Wonder what ever happened to Cheno?

That’s a fair point and I’m sure it’s part of the reason. It’s frustrating to see the program this far down. We’re getting out recruited by everyone in the Big12 except maybe osu.

Coach was responding to my post. He brings a lot of valuable info to the board. I don’t have a problem with him at all. I disagree with him sometimes but I appreciate what he brings to this board. I think it’s fair game to criticize what are sub par results. I don’t buy into the blind optimism. I was just stating I expected better results from Hump regarding recruitment of post players. Clearly, we haven’t done very well in that area but maybe it isn’t Humphries fault. Maybe none of the coaches are at fault. The fact remains, we have done a poor job recruiting quality post players and we routinely get whipped in the paint.

Wow...hadn't thought of that handle in a long time. I think he got upset at some posters ragging on KU (even though OU is/was his favorite team) but I could be mistaken.

Maybe Boulder has some insight....
 
I’ve been critical of him too. They’re all responsible.

I wasn't big on the Hump hiring when it happened. I voiced that then. I just don't think he's done much, and I know people that have been around him in the basketball scene, and just don't think he's a great coach or recruiter.

Take that for what it's worth.
 
I truly just thought that was funny. Agree he needs to pull some dudes. Also can be judged on our bigs next year.
