This team...

So. Much. Standing. It drives me crazy, i usually yell at the tv, but this year i just stare in solemn silence.

sooooo

Is it just me and BofH, or does anyone else feel like this team’s biggest issue is not enough ink?

[Deleted User 89]

excluding facial ink/pcp-ers, right?

[ousdahl]

well that would be one way to address our lack of hustle?

[pdub]

Give to everyone but Dave.
He needs xanax or just some good chill kind.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Biggest issue to me in the end is no top end talent. Needed that today to take us home.

Looking around the NCAA, in a non-covid year, Jared Butler doesn't return. And I think our team is Devon Dotson away from competing with Baylor in the league and has Final Four aspirations.

That's ultimately on Bill, because we knew Devon was gone, but a little perspective.

This is especially problematic because Dotson coulda left the year before.

So this is actually year #2 without a good plan to replace Dotson.

And if Dok hadn't shocked us all by coming back, it would be 3 straight down seasons.

I pretty much said all of this in the Baylor game thread. Yes, you need an elite pg/QB to win, I agree.

[ousdahl]

Has anyone suggested the team get more ink?

Devon was always going to stay 2 years, but you're not wrong.

I just wonder if Bill had any options other than MG. Bryce doesn't look like a PG. I think there could be a cloud over our recruiting, but of course it didn't stop OSU from offering Cade's brother a job.

We actually do need more players with more ink. Usually those are the guys with some swag. Maybe we need Dooley back and he can start recruiting the East coast again.

[TDub]

Team full of great 3rd and 4th options.

[pdub]

Ochai is a good 2nd option.
DMac and Garrett top notch 3rds.

No 1sts.

[pdub]

Also I still really like this team.
Different than being frustrating because they are.

But I don’t think there’s anyone who isn’t buying in or bitching.

Ochai is a local who always wanted to play here. Braun too. You can see how DMac wants to be so good but he’s out of control. Garrett a unheralded senior. Wilson just navigating. Mitch LOVES it here.

Unlike years where people are here just for a quick stop to get paid in the NBA.

What college basketball is all about. I get it. No surprise there have been zero off court issues with our guys.

[MICHHAWK]

The investigation has crippled recruiting.

[MICHHAWK]

The investigation is slowly dragging the program down. It is weighing.

[pdub]

Bryce Thompson was a good get.
Hes hurt.
