What good is "insider" information anyway when we are such a mess? I could care less that we are a finalist with Western Michigan and Long Beach State for a shooting guard.

And, what difference does it make who this coach recruits? Has he shown someone on here that he is capable of winning even when he has talent on the team? Or were WJ, CB, Taylor, and MG not talented, not to mention other former and even current players? I have no confidence that GMac could win in the Big 12 even if he had 3 five-star recruits. What evidence is there that he could? The incredible two-point win over North Dakota State this year in Hilton? This program is a joke. It doesn't matter who he recruits. Sad, but true.

^^^^^^^^^^^

That's my point. Why do people get all huffy over "insider" information when it really doesn't matter.
There are two facts when pertaining to this program, McD won't be fired anytime soon, and we are going to be worse in the 5th year of his tenure than we were in his 1st. No "insider" knowledge is going to change that.

Can someone, anyone, give me one bright spot in this program? One reason to be excited about this basketball? Any indication we may be headed in the right direction?

Well, we have this. And we all know that these "insiders" know so much more than any of the rest of us. Is that enough to go on?

The program is in good shape...contrary to belief of some.

I dont know why we are suprised half the fans have left this progam, which is disgusting. I wish Chris took them with him. It sucks that he leaves, but I have been a fan of what it says on the front of the Jersey since I was five, and while losing sucks, I will not abandon this team or this coach, for the sole reason that he is the coach of the school that I am passionate about.

I care about Cardinal and Gold not all the crap that goes behind closed doors.

Speakin as the world's biggest fan of ISU MBB, there is absolutely nothing heading in the right direction.

He received a few more offers this week if I have heard correctly - don't get your hopes up.

I'm starting a count down to the end of the McDermott era. There are approximately 330 days left until the end of the 2011 Big 12 Tourney. He has to be gone after that. It's a long count down, but that is the only positive thing I can think of other than we should be able to pick our seats in Hilton next year.

Well of course he does. Does Pollard like losing? How is McDermott going to start winning? What is the plan? I'm not trying to be a smart ***, but why the hell does anyone think McDermott is going to magically start winning games when he's been losing for 4 straight years, and driving off players in droves?

It's not like we have this great recruiting class coming in...

I really like the guys coming in, but 2 are freshmen, and freshen aren't going to be dominators.

Will people boo McDermott at the summer Tailgate Tour outings across the state? Doubting there will be much comedy in his act this year!

I actually was just wondering if Mac will be booed on the floor of Hilton next year. Does anyone know if an ISU coach has ever been booed in Hilton?
