How good can this team be?
- Thread starter Cyinthenorth
- Start date
He ran around a lot and jumped out of bounds once in awhile so he was a CF savior because that means he really cared and tried hard.

Is he the one who took more credits one summer than he could legitimately finish in order to grad transfer?

I did just have to remind myself that part of the optimism I had for possibly getting to the tournament was adding Hinson to the starting lineup and the hope Jackson was improved and continued shooting the way he did the last several weeks of conference play. Now Hinson is gone and Jackson is obviously out for awhile and who knows how long it will take for him to get back up to speed.
I don't think we hit .350. There is no home court advantage this season. Five B12 teams in the rankings. It's going to be a rough one.
Playing against WVU and Baylor is going to be so painful. Our intensity level is 100X less than those squads. We lose before we even step on the floor.
The Bart Torvik type websites of CBB projected him to average around 3 points this year; any narrative more than that was internal hype.
Obviously after last night, you can see he's going to be more than a 3 pt per game player. 13/7/8, 3 blocks and zero TOs against a decent opponent. Except for a few of his 3 pointers, he played a really solid game.
Bright spot for sure. Seems like he has a lot of room to get better just by playing games.
I think we have the pieces to have a good year, but I don’t think we have the chemistry or experience to have a good year.
I know some people label last year as a rebuild, but no it was just a bad year. This year is the rebuild. This year we actually have a foundation to build on. I’m encouraged about the talent and versatility we have, and who we have returning next year and a certain incoming freshman we will have to replace Bolton at guard.
I think we will get better as the year goes on, but odds are it won’t be enough, even though the talent is there. I do expect some upsets this year though. Just have to be smarter about the shot selection, and be OK if the shot only counts for 2.

Not trying to make excuses for anyone, but we still have our share of issues with injuries this year. I wonder if we will ever get a clear picture of Prohm. He's had so many strange years here being with early leaves for NBA, Fred's carry over, injuries, covid, etc.
A slow start is expected when you return 4 players, two of which were starters. Couple that with limited off season due to Covid and even more limited due to injury... it would be insane not to have a slow start no matter who the coach is.
I would agree. I love Prohm but I do see problems that aren't going away beyond what we have already discussed. I'm hoping for the best. There is not a better liaison and person for that position as far as character goes than Steve IMO. I think he recruits so well, one of these years were going to get a clean lick at it. This freshman class should be the group of players he needs to start better utilizing the early exits while they're here.
