4.5 Hours Wasted

Unfortunately, that was last year. This year is a different story, and he can't continue to hurl them up at a 1 for 6 pace. He might be injured, but what does that have to do with anything? He's hurting us if he continues to throw up the 3.

It sure looks like he is far from 100%. He shouldn’t be firing up the 3 right now. I love the guy but that shot is hurting the team right now.

Just got a message from NU marketing apologizing for the coupon snafu. Their solution: anyone who wants to drive out to the NU ticket office and show their Maryland ticket during normal business hours on a weekday can have their coupon for one $5 chicken sandwich. I'm sure they'll get a lot of takers.

This is BS. If they can track who is selling FB tickets on StubHub they should be able to determine who was at the game last night and email them a coupon.

The shooting numbers strongly suggest an injury.
Collins can't stop him from launching?

Carmody was hampered by Phillips when he was basically on a year to year contract, and he still landed one of the highest rated recruits in Jaren Sina.

That being said, CC's issues hasn't been so much recruiting on paper, but that so many of his top recruits fail to live up to their ratings (whether that be poor analysis of said recruits actual ability, poor development or both).

His best recruits (aside from Vic, who had to work on his O skills) were BMac and Pardon who were both 3*.

Have realistic expectations, so out of a 3 recruit class, don't expect more than 1 to be a legit B1G starter, another to be bench player and 3rd to see sparing minutes, but we haven't even seen that.

Carmody was never able to recruit the depth needed to overcome the inevitable injuries, but we knew immediately that Coble, Juice, Shurna, Crawford, Cobb were players and that's not counting guys further back like VV and TJ.

Nance is the only player on the team that would put on that level, but was expecting something like this from his soph season onward (he was supposedly the less physical but more skilled Nance brother).

Can't see how CC has much of anything to sell national recruits (can we consider getting players from NE a bust?) and due to his contract situation, don't see the program moving on from CC, so the only hope I see left is for CC and the staff to mine the Chicago-land area for under the radar hard-nosed and skilled recruits a la Juice, Shurna, Crawford.

For all the talk of CC's love for stretch-4s and skilled wings, we haven't exactly seen much in the way of that, and to make matters worse, they also don't have the ruggedness to bang in the B1G.

CC had that with his Tourney team in Pardon, Lumpkin, Law (despite his slight build) and Skelly.

Sobo was a bit underappreciated, but it says something when he is the 2nd best PG to play under CC.

1. Boo is better than Sobo. C’mon maaan.
2. Sina (we’re talkin’ ‘bout *Sina*?) was a bad player and, therefore, not a good recruit.

I agree with your larger point which is, I think, that recruiting is only theoretically better under CCC.

Not sure what you're saying here. Collins is the head coach. He needs to tell Audige to quit launching and concentrate on his defense, rebounding, penetrating and setting up his teammates. If he has a mid-range shot available, obviously, he should take it.

We agree on Audige's strengths.
I think it is almost impossible for Collins to tell someone not to shoot.
Our guys seem to play with mindset of "If you think there's a chance, then shoot."
Other than Greer, who probably knows better.

At this point I watch the games to get the jokes on this board.
