The more I see other teams play, the more despaired I become watching the product Jans and his group of middle school PE instructors roll onto the hardwood. They have failed 4 straight years in the portal. The most frustrating part of it is that almost every school at any level has multiple guys that can shoot. We have one who never gets any open looks. I don't know what the practices are like, but when I watch Ballard or Achor try to set a pick in games, I just laugh. In his best year at WSU, Ballard averaged 10 ppg. Achor played in 7 games last year and averaged 7 ppg and less than 3 boards at KSU. How could anyone watching film on those 2 guys in any way think those 2 were going to contribute in the SEC? Watching the Bama/TAMU game reinforced my sense of hopelessness with this staff.

This situation is exacerbated for me, because I don't care at all for college baseball and am only moderately invested in football. The games at Bama and at Florida are gonna be embarrassing. We're looking at 30-40 point beat downs.

Let them pour it on to show the world what it really is. Carefully not to let them call it off so it’s more respectable so we keep hope and things the same .

It's my second favorite sport behind football and I literally don't watch at all anymore. He gets next year but he needs to reflect on his outdated system and his shortcomings in the portal.

Nope, Get rid of him and go get Josh Schertz.

We shouldn't have built the team around Hubbard. I suspect Jans knows that.

I expect him to get it figured out next year and try and leave town.

Jans system and personality is as much a deterrent in the portal as anything. Kids hate his offensive scheme, they want to run free and play Oates style basketball not whatever the hell we do. Our assist numbers are putrid and to me that’s the biggest problem with his offense: the lack of ball movement.

It’d help if we had a true PG.

The whole concept of PG, SG Wing , PF/Center or a three guard lineup and two bigs completely escapes Jan’s. He has no idea how to construct a team/roster, which is really pretty simple. It’s weird
