Yeah I agree. This thing is starting to trying into a **** show. Grab Holt and get some shooters and a big guy from the portal. I don't think we'll need many guys for next season anyway. I would like to have had Stokes because I see his potential if he gets his head right. I'm starting to wonder about that, tho
A mobile scoring forward is needed plus a top notch point guard
A shot blocker inside would also be great

You take whoever wants to commit when talking about top talent, seems simple to me. But I believe we are being strung along by all of the kids in this class. Either way I’m sure the coaches will figure it out.

I would not be upset if we cut ties off with Stokes. I have read in the past that he isn't great to get along with. I am like many of you, I would go hard after Oladotun, Holt and Collins. That would be a monster class,
I wish that we would have made Thompson a priority over Stokes. I think that we could have got him.

Would you be upset if he went to Kansas scored 30 and beat us,I'd say half this board would

We're going to have to see who comes back before looking that far ahead. You've potentially only got two open roster spots after this season, should everyone with eligibility return.

I get and understand this, but if college guys wanna be paid, they’re gonna have to be treated like pros. Which means if we bring in two super talented guys, regardless if they are recruits or from the portal, sounds like 2 current roster guys will have to transfer and find new homes if they want to retain eligibility. Can’t take the biggest paycheck every year, then expect a high level of loyalty reciprocated to you. Can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Although I do think Pope is a loyal guy, and did a great job year 1 to 2 of retaining some guys based on relationship.

If he broke a kids jaw sign him TODAY.
We’ve had nothing but soft girls for years. Get an ******* in here that the whole country hates. It automatically makes other teams off their game when dealing with a psycho. And pope has the right mentality to do with that kind of kid and make him keep his anger toward the other team.
