I honestly don’t think it’s a terrible thing that it’s a little quiet. It seems like last year with Prohm there was a lot of chatter because he was flailing trying to find someone. He kept missing on transfers so he had to keep going after new ones over and over. Maybe it’s quiet because Coach Otz is being more focused in his recruiting?

Bury your head in the sand. All good, Brother.

I have watched enough of Jackson to know he is not a good defender. I could find dozens of other video to prove my point, but I for some reason I don't think it will change your mind. Agree to disagree I guess.....
Prentiss Nixon? I guess he was an average defender, far from elite. He was a dreadful shooter, he shot 26% in 3PT percentage (Jackson was 27% this year).
In my opinion neither of them are Big 12 guards, which has led us down the path to a 2-22 season. We have to have better guard play if we are going to compete within our conference.

I'm not willing to say Jackson is a good or bad defender, but that video proves nothing. TJ got Bolton to leave (allegedly), but Jackson hasn't. May TJ has watched more video than you or I.

Couldn't agree more with your last point. Of course the same can be said for forwad and post play.

Jackson showed potential as a defender as a freshman, but he was awful as a sophomore. And his offense was even worse. He was a disappointment. Hopefully a fresh start helps him get back to what he showed late his freshman season.

We aren't hearing a lot of transfer chatter because our team sucks, and everyone else needs to fill roster spots too. We're going to get a couple decent transfers at some point, but we'll have to wait until all of the other better programs get their pick. Prohm sunk this program to levels I didn't think were possible.

It’ll be great when Hunter stays committed, Walker makes a big soph jump, and Hinson and Foster are great Big 12 players and we talk about how TJ is “winning with Prohm’s players”

I'll clap harder than anyone if we can win with his players

I have thought about how bad Prohm would look of next year we actually look good. I know that’s thinking way to optimistic, but still.

It was definitely a “tongue in cheek” post. I hope we get at least 2 high level transfers and it’s not a point of conversation, but if we don’t I’d rather be talking about how much they over achieved and say “I’m so glad Prohm got them here”.

You have? Since Prohm is gone, I have zero desires to make him look anything. It would be much more productive to think about how our current coach can end up looking good.
Yeah I know what you mean and you’re right.

100%. Prohm is a good person who wanted to be here badly and took over in a situation where a lot of people were never going to give him (or anyone who replaced Fred) a chance. It didn’t work out and obviously it got ugly at the end. But he’s gone. Let it go and give our new staff a chance to try and rebuild. I’m excited to see what they can do.

Some people on this board are absolutely brutal to CSP and forget that these are people here. Same with players who struggle. You can be critical and even argue someone needs to be fired or transfer but you should NEVER make light of it or forget these are human beings. Come on!
