This is why I avoid these boards after a big loss. Ripping into Tubelis after what he's done this year for this team to me is unconscionable. We all saw what happened last night but JFC let's have just a modicum of perspective. The troglodytes to whom this post is addressed do not know what the wor...

Harvey Specter

Would like him to cut the 3 point attempts in half and attack the rim more. He's too athletic to settle for 30 footers. And not get any foul attempts. Dude is a frickin' lottery pick and he won't take it inside? Yeah. It irritates the shit out of me to see guys as athletic as Benn settle for low pe...

Benn has probably played himself out of the lottery. Sad to see. Is he playing himself into a possible return next year? Not a chance. "Not a Chance" is a pretty tall statement considering how Mathurin has looked over the past 4 games. Ever since Cronin exposed him at Pauley by forcing Benn off the...

Maclean sucks lmao The guy does his homework, knows what he is taking about and rarely makes a gaffe, and is as objective and candid as almost anyone in that space. He has great respect for our program Cats and is refreshingly self-deprecating. He puts the rest of his peers to shame (most notably C...

Big difference between Kerr and Ainge. Ainge was a whinner and complainer. Big baby. Never committed a foul in his life. Always a “who me” look on his face when called. Kerr complains about calls too at times tbh. (And I HATED him as a Celtic and LOVED him as a Sun). An asshole is an asshole is an ...

Harvey Specter

Wait, some are complaining about Fisch getting hired by a bigger P5 job? Hasn’t it been like three decades since that last happen? I would take that in a heartbeat. Means Arizona is sucking a little less. Utah had Urban Meyer for two years. He left for Florida but left Wittingham in SLC. Worked out...

I really don't understand some of these transfers though. If a player is really that great, unless it is a coaching change or wants to upgrade the team he is on, why transfer? Don't they expect some competition? have you ever accepted a job and within a few months to a couple years realized you mad...

You can’t convince me that’s not the guy who tiled my basement shower. I'm not sure we can convince a guy with a mullet/moustache combo like that to leave the South, but that might just be my stereotype brain. Say what you want about Fisch, and I certainly have, he definitely seems to understand wh...

Harvey Specter

I base that largely in his history of never staying longer than two years. I doubt that changes much. I've heard this argument a lot, but Fisch has addressed it. He has stated he's moved around working towards his goal of becoming a head coach. He's reached that goal so I expect his moving around t...

Harvey Specter

Wait, so we sign a top 20 class.we get the freshman offensive POY who is a QB and now we are going to get some lineman in the portal. All after going 1-11? This is just crazy There are different ways to sell. Fisch is selling a culture and rising a program back out of the ashes. An attractive cultu...

How can WSU get so many good recruits with the worst venue in the PAC, along with being in the middle of nowhere, with shitty weather, along with pasty coeds? Mike Price did it, The Pirate did it, and now Dickert... I am guessing you’ve never been to Pullman? I have been there a few times and am wi...

Let's list all the coaches who are great recruiters and terrible coaches. I'll start: Penny Hardaway Josh Pastner Ed Orgeron Willie Taggart, Steve Lavin, and Mike Stoops say “Hi there! Don’t forget about Steve Sarkisian, or Kevin Sumlin before he completely surrendered to the bottle down in Tucson.”

What a fantastic pickup.

No shit. When was the last time we had a RB that could flat out outrun elite DB’s in a HS All Star Game?

Harvey Specter

And Luke just caught a TD pass and looked “speedy” doing it. They said no one has ever run the 100 faster than him in California out of High School To clarify, they said no freshman in CA has ever run the 100m than his 10.5, which is STILL quite remarkable. He seemed like a great kid… a bit nervous...

Harvey Specter

I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about that Kerr 3. He hits it and you’re praising him. He takes that same 3 several times a game. That’s a shot he’s comfortable with and confident in. Tommy feels the same or he would not allow him to shoot it. There are several plays in that game we could poi...

Those pining for the days of Lute Olson teams forget there were SOME downsides, and that was sure one one them.

Harvey Specter

Nick, Koloko and Tubelis all are who they are and it's more a question of whether that's enough to make it. When you are who you are the added year of maturity is even more important, as it gives you a leg up over other rookies who are who they are who you are competing with for a roster spot. See ...

Harvey Specter

We need to show progress next year. Even if it's just 3 wins and a few close losses, that's progress. Pull in another great class next year, and win 6 and go bowling in 2023, then the sky is the limit. I question whether Fisch has the coaching chops to get there. But at least there is a defined pat...

Harvey Specter

Zu needs to look at Michael Wright (RIP). Very strong inside game, but not much of an outside one. Good athletes, and MW was a solid 16/8 guy. MW wanted to work on his outside game since he was too short to be in the NBA close to the basket, but Lute said no, so MW left. Drafted in the 2nd round by...

Harvey Specter

Knowing his girlfriend goes there it makes perfect sense. If that was the only thing in their favor, I think it would be the dumbest decision ever made by a kid who 5 months ago had hight first round NFL draft potential. That said, considering it is a program who is sending a QB to the NFL draft th...

Interesting to see all the different takes on this lineup in terms of future NBA potential. To go on the record with predictions: Mathurin: high lottery pick with HUGE upside potential… as in multiple all-star games Koloko: lottery pick and future NBA starter. True centers are a rare and valuable co...

I don't see any reason why Tommy would struggle recruiting. Tonight was a great win. It's good to see Ballo making strides in his development. However, does anybody have any peanuts for the huge elephant in the room? What in the world is going on with Aiken??? He's a big part of what we do and it a...

Harvey Specter

How in the world is Fisch convincing a class like this to sign after arguably the worst season in Div 1? I have this same question. Inquiring minds want to know. The answer is actually obvious. He has convinced them that something so special is happening here that they don't want to miss being a pa...

Harvey Specter

I'd say the cryptic tweets confirm that we can have nice stuff here. Incredible to sign such a class. If we get Slovis too, we can attract the best out of the portal. 100%. Not to get ahead of ourselves, but I’m confident we will see things that we have only read about in books regarding recruiting...

So does he have to sign before midnight or risk waiting until February? Or has he already signed it for whomever he chose? He has to sign before midnight tonight his time or wait until February.

I see elements of Arenas and Elliott, but Benn is much bigger than Gil and more athletic than Sean. Benn is positioned to have one of the best sophomore seasons in program history. This would’ve been hyperbole a couple weeks ago, but he just hung 30 on Illinois in their gym. Imagine what this kid i...

Harvey Specter

He is Sean Elliot reincarnated. It has been a while since I heard that suggestion made, although probably because most current Cat fans never saw Elliott play (or know much about him). This is the first time I have not scoffed at the notion; Benn's the closest thing we have had in 33 years. I think...

They are always going to be compared against each other... that's just human nature. This is not a knock against Miller, I just feel like TL is a better fit for this current era of college basketball. Cool.

Harvey Specter

I will say, the Harrick/Lavin, Fisher/Ellerbee and Howland/Alford comparisons do not set a promising precedent for the replacement. Maybe, but I just see so little basis of comparison within this group beyond that they all had good teams coming back. Lavin went 10-19 in his final season at UCLA and...

I'll second this wariness towards players reputed as "great shooters." This was Barcello. Pitts. Lavender. Come to think of it: who is the most lights-out shooter of the Miller era?

One thing that doesn't help Miller: his brand of basketball is boring.
