They just can?t shoot.
We need to play some walk ons that can pop 3s.
We've never been this bad. EVER. We were 7-22 tonight. You could go find fans in the stands that would shoot better than that percentage.Quote:

We should be up by 2 right now. What a joke.
We just can't shoot period. It's truly amazing we have no one that can shoot. At this rate we need to just go to the Sanderson and find a couple of guys who can knock a 3 down.
Murphy in.
We're not making the tourney and honestly kinda glad we're not. Our team is bad and Jans has a lot of work to do before next season to show us something.
Jans prefers to play his people, even minutes tonight for a walk on, Jones. Stevenson, his three guards in Davis, Reed, & Horton contribute very little. Tolo is a headcase this early in the season. Give McNair more minutes until he gets it together. His horrible free throw average is killing us.Quote:

You?ll make a lot money betting against this disaster this year.
Doesn't include tonight's FT disaster...
Difference this year from last...
DJ down 20.1%
Tolu down 9.7%
Matthews up 18.4%
Davis up 1%
Reed down 6.5%
Moore down 7.3%
Looks like he gets nervous when fans start hollering.Quote:

DJ should be able to shoot, but he really should pump fake and drive and dish.
Tolu is 100% a liability. Cannot score around the rim. Goes up weak. Doesn?t use the various angles to the backboard like L Roberts and Mario Austin used to do. When he gets fouled, it basically is a turnover. Tolu needs to learn he is terrible at the rim. He needs the ball at about the 10 foot distance and work to the basket. If he is within 5 feet it is practically a turnover because he isn?t making layups at a high enough %.
My lineup starting next game would be, McNair, Murphy, Mathews, Davis, and Shak.
Early sub to Tolu, Reed Jr, Jeffries, Stephenson.
Shak to play additional minutes and then rotate Reed and Davis and Shak.
Our offense should be rotate corner looks, looking for the cut to the basket, and kick outs for spot 3s and backside crashing the board.
If we can get it to the elbow, look for cutters and kick outs.
Hamilton, dang I couldn?t remember that guys name. Yes they all need more minutes. And I wouldn?t be worried for who we are taking off the court, they can?t make shots anyway.Quote:

We're sixteen games in. What we see is what we have. This is a talent issue and we just have to ask what do we want to get out of the last fifteen games. I'll have to think about that one.
Has the recruiting picked up? Can Jans recruit?
We have 3 3-stars and an UR player signed. We're 10th in the sec in composite, but the teams we're ahead of only have 1 commit or 2. Our avg per recruit is worst in the sec. In fact our avg per recruit is the worst in the sec since 2020 mizzou.Quote:

YepQuote:

OK guys if you will lead me by the hand a little here. As much as I love sports have never been a big fan of following recruiting. But for our basketball team it is critical.
Have most high school seniors already decided where they are going to play in college and signed or is that still open for us to upgrade talent? And when will the portal open for basketball?
Based on year to date, he will play them ahead of Howland's last young recruits, if they are still here.Quote:

Wow. So guessing there was an early signing period in the fall and a large number signed early. Where does it show who we have in this 2023 class already. Is it realistic to believe we can score some real talent via the portal with NIL money?Quote:

They have no "touch" around the rim (hence the number of missed layups and other short point-blank shots, and they are horrible free throw shooters. You cannot make chicken salad out of chiicken shat. I'm all for Jans and I'm sure he will find some basketball players out there somewhere.Quote:
