  1. Great job! This series of unhinged and irrational posts has done nothing but galvanize more support for Cohen and Freeze. Congrats! Here's your prize.....
  2. 100% and yes BP has. My only real sore spot was NOT going after Mark Sears. A veteran floor general there for the taking. Was it scholly limits, or was it pinning all their hopes on Donaldson, Westry, and Traore all being good reliable contributors immediately? The class of 2024 tells me this staff will turn the corner. The portal of 2023, hopefully more so.
  3. With a cloud hanging over the program from 2017 to 2021, and now halfway into 4 years of probation, recruiting was hurt. Nothing more, nothing less. Granted it was self inflicted, but the coaching staff has done yeoman's work keeping the ship afloat and back to WINNING. I would argue they've probably done their best work, given the circumstances. The class of 2024 shows things are looking up. Hopefully, the portal of 2023 will move the needle a little quicker. There is reason for optimism. In the meantime, let's keep pulling for this team of veterans who continue to grind and fight until the end. Maybe they can reach a point where they play free and easy with nothing to lose. To make the tournament this year would be a great accomplishment. I believe they can.
  4. I'm not giving up. No way. Sometimes growth is hard to see, but I see it. Adjustments HAVE been made. The effort is there offensively and defensively. We're playing more under control. Despite not having reliable outside shooting, and struggling on the glass, our 3,4,5s ARE getting the looks. THEY are our strength. A little better job of finishing through contact wins this game, and others. I thought we handled their ball pressure admirably. And the veteran leadership and experience is keeping us in games.
  5. I was afraid of this. It's tough when your collection of guards enter almost every game in league play seemingly at a disadvantage. Whether it's height, length, strength, speed, athleticism. Consistently it's 2 or 3 of those qualities. The guards on the better teams play with no fear against us. With Radford (Sr) and Taylor (So) scoring at will, we desperately needed way more out of Flanagan, Williams, and KD tonight. We needed a near perfect game. KD is trying to dial it back some and play more under control. But he does not have the burst to blow by people. Not even taller defenders. He's too easy to guard. Every shot is contested. With his physicality, I'd like to see him utilized as a screener more often. Not only outside, but inside as well. On any defender. Big and small. Free up others while rolling off or stepping back. By the way, all of the top home court winning streaks went by the wayside in the span of 2 weeks. All of them.
  6. This should be fun. Would Georgia win a Natty with RA at the helm? No way IMO. Carry on.....I'll sit back and listen....
  7. Hint. You can run the baseline AFTER a made FG or FT......
  8. Imagine evaluating the job performance of someone you considered hiring at your previous stop, but went in a different direction. How uncomfortable that might be....for both parties....
