A barely passable year 1.

Shit needs to look much different next year. I think it’s safe to assume DW and Holloman were our highest paid players and highest rated in the portal. They were misses. DW has caught a ton of flack but Holloman deserves every bit as much or more tbh. A complete missed evaluation. Not sure how the staff missed so badly on a dude with 3 years of Big 10 basketball on film. Arceneaux is up there too as a bust.

We touted all the NCAAT experience we had on this team. That didn’t do us any good in late game situations this year.

The shortcomings of the roster are well documented so I guess I won’t keep beating that dead horse. We say we’re serious about basketball. We say we have money to spend. We looked like a program that didn’t know what to do with their money and didn’t have a great plan last offseason. Please do better this time

press conference theatrics were him knowing we sucked and a cynical attempt at getting a certain segment of the fanbase excited

I RED RECKON THAT HE LOST SOME CREDIBILITY

I get that. And I guess I shouldn’t have limited it to press conference theatrics. I mean all his theatrics. Red reckoning. Doing the Jimmy V photo. Idk. Just win some games please

Arceneaux was easily our best perimeter defender, which was his MO prior to this year. He just didn't get put on the floor!

This team reminds me so much of the next to last Gottfried team. So much less than the sum of its parts, in large part due to how the coach deployed the players. Not a coincidence that Copeland is my least favorite player since Rowan.

WW is clearly autistic. Nttawwt. But almost every time the camera pans to him during games he looks like he is in another universe. Like playing 4d chess in his head or something. He tries to cover it up with his goofy ass press conferences

" What did you learn about building a roster out of the portal this season? Yeah, we're going to be better. We put this together pretty quickly. We didn't do as much, we didn't spend as much time on a couple of things. We just looked at some analytics. The personalities and some of that stuff is very, very important. And we're going to do much more due diligence this year. And we'll have a better mixture of things moving forward."

Ok so yeah. They didn’t actually watch film of Holloman. Makes sense! I mean, I didn’t watch Holloman film either. But I didn’t pay him 7 figures to be a starting PG so I didn’t think I needed to watch film. Dude straight up isn’t a PG. Got lucky that Q, as flawed as he is, was able to actually run the point for us. But Q was almost certainly not brought in to be stating PG and play 35 minutes/game. That’s what Holloman was brought in for.

I find it a little interesting that aside from the 2 McNeese guys, we brought in 0 players from mid majors. All of our big spends in the portal were P4 transfers. Seems like P4 guys should be more known quantities…but also seems like taking a chance on some ballers moving up from low and mid major would be a worthwhile. Like, the P4 transfers making lateral (at best) moves for more PT and/or more money…if Holloman or Arc were actually that good they’d have just stayed at their top 10 teams. Those feel like reclamation projects or something. Obviously P4 to P4 transfers work out just fine all the time, too. I guess we just made some bad evals in the portal regardless of where the dudes were coming from
