Well Ado and Peters aren't playing. Datcher was sort of a project. We knew Carter needed time to get stronger. There were red flags with Keglar. I like him, he just has to keep maturing and working. Ol Blue warned everyone about Wright. Herard is probably the early disappointment for me. He looks 6'9 to me, not 6'11 and his offensive game is not as refined as I hoped.

Bottom line... Howland is a GREAT recruiter and an avg on the floor coach. If he was anything more he would be at a blue blood.. Not at State. Having said that I think he will get us to the place where we are a tourney team on a semi regular basis.

I'm not wait and see, I'm sold. College hoops is about players and Howland is bringing in players. We will be NIT next year and NCAA in 2 years.

Just play zone and you have a chance against us. Does Howland even practice a zone offense?

You don't make 3 straight final 4's if you are just an average floor coach.

I agree. Howland will make State great again, just going to take a little time.

We have to give the guy a little bit of a break. He lost it best player. Our problems are not as much coaching as you think. I mean seriously think about this.. What is our glaring problems... We have no solid player inside and no one to dribble penetrate. That's stuff that can be fixed by 1)getting a true big man and 2) allow Peters to develop and watch Nick spoon and then u will see better dribble penetration. Give it time guys.

He did make those final fours playing bruising defense (not allowed anymore) and slow paced offense (we try to get quick shots). Is this concerning to you at all? I'm not freaking out and think howland will be successful,but we aren't using the formula howland rose to success with

How are we this bad? I mean we look like a intramural team in the Sanderson

I think Howland is still walking on eggshells since UCLA up and fired him right after he won the Pac-12 and had the #1 class in the country.

Be prepared for Readyball the last 7 minutes. Hope it's the decent Ready this time.

Oh I agree about his pedigree and I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but this is the worst team on our schedule we are playing against.

Why is Kegler so bad? He doesn't look like a good college player much less an NBA player:

Northwestern State kid talking trash....

Because he refuses to take coaching
