I'll type slowly for all the emotional Veruca Salt I want it now types. Nowhere did the article say everything was fixed and there was a miraculous turnaround. Pike said he sees progess with the young team and they are still learning and developing. He also said the NIL situation looks better and that is off his desk. That probably means the program will have more money to bid for missing pieces than the last 2 years. Can't help those who could not understand the context.
Nothing Veruca Salt about year 10 4 straight ncaa misses and bottom 4 Big 10

Do you realize every other school will have more $$$ as well

Pike is a bottom 3 coach in the league. That is reality

Now let's do football and women's basketball. The landscape changed and we had an AD who did everything he could to thwart NIL, the key component to success. But you can keep pushing narratives about 4 years all you want. And you are pumping up Bobby Hurley. Lol.

Womens hoops has been a train wreck for 8 years. I told you about Viv and told you Coquese was the wrong hire

Greg will never be more than 7-5 here but he is treading water at least. I want a change there yet he holds a spell over Keli and the Schianopox fans who believe 2006 was 4 years ago not 20

Assuming we’ll have $10 mil next year we should be getting 3-4 $2 million players and use the rest of the money to fill out the roster. If the current guys want to stick around and take that type of money, sure, let Pike continue to develop them. But, in looking at this current group, it doesn’t look remotely close to the core of a 20 win team in the next 2 years and we can’t waste a good portion of the money Kelli has brought in to keep this group around

Carino is such a Pike shill, its beyond parody at this point. Mind you when the football team gets taken to the woodshed by Oregon, he's in the stands mining quotes from their fanbase on how terrible the football team is. He would never pull that sh*t in the RAC after we get ran off the court once again

We’re actually shooting ar a higher percentage than we have most years under Pike. How often do you think we’ve ever shot over 32% from 3? Spoiler alert - not often. The difference is our D. It stinks.
Simply not true. Our 3pt % this year is 31% which matches many years under poke.

Our total FG% is 41% which is lower than most years under like if not all - didn’t check all. But during the 3 year peak with 2 ncaa buds we were shooting 44-45%

I civilly called him out on that Oregon "article", and he blocks me on Twitter.

Dude gets off on counting fans in the stands and reporting on wind sprints at practice.

At least we have Fonseca and the mods here, who are actual journalists.
