Cobra Kai

Taught the allick kids back in the day. Very happy to see her doing so well. Her mom was a 6 on 6 stud back in the day

Close...just turned 3. In all seriousness, I don't have a problem with him as a person.. I'm sure he's a good dude and don't wish him any ill will. He is the problem though. It's obvious and if you can't see that, I am not going to argue with you about it. What is more baffling than him still being here is Freddy buckets bringing him in, in the first place...after the Teddy Allen fiasco. Same circus, different clowns man. There are tons of posts on here that are ridiculous. I don't comment on all of them. If you don't like my take, just scroll on by. You'll be fine. There's lots of posts on here that are good too guys. I have no beef with you or anyone on here. I am honestly sorry if what I sat offends you in some way. That was not my intent. I've played and coached the game of basketball...I'd like to think I know a little bit about the game. I am not alone in my thinking, but I also understand that people can see things differently. I wasn't wrong about Teddy Allen last year, and I don't think I am wrong here. I respect your opinion if you think otherwise...and with that, I wish you a good day, sir.

Sure is.. Purdy...

You got a turd in your pocket?

Good news: trey is back Purdue's defense seems optional at times Bad news: Purdue is awesome offensively We still have verge

If you don't see the obvious similarities between Allen and verge, then there is no point continuing this thread. Allen was a ball stopper, verge is a ball stopper. The overall offense is clearly different when the aforementioned are on the floor. Isolation basketball over ball/player movement. Both took ridiculously bad shots consistently. Even if they were made, they were still stupid, selfish shots. Both are me first guys on the floor and their hero ball hangs their teammates out to dry. Freddie is in control of the offense, I'll give you that...it has been better when guys do what he wants them to do...when the wrong guy is on the floor, 4 guys stand still and watch the circus... Fred is trying to fix the offense. And has made progress. He is at fault for 2 things. 1 is bringing a guy in here like verge, when we already had a guy like that last year in Allen...he should have known better. And 2, he should have the stones to make personnel changes and keep verge off the floor and/or show him the door. Those two things are on Fred. Alonzos choices on the floor...that's all on him.

Finally, some good news! I kid, hope he gets well...but this isn't really awful news for performance sake.

I completely agree.

I have dumped on this team a bunch this year, deservedly so, but last night they played well for much of the game. Effort was good, they battled. It has never been a talent issue with some of these guys...it's what goes on between the ears. Other than verge killing them in the final 4 minutes, it was a noble effort. Hopefully we can keep making baby steps and keep adjusting the rotation. I would not be sad if we get a tweet saying that verge is no longer with the program.

Agreed. Hashtag sad #!

I agree with that. That seems to be what hoiberg is/was banking on. He's not really a true point guard though. We need one of those. A floor general guy. Someone has to keep the riff raff in line on the floor.

Just wait...this will be the damn game we win...not directional Illinois...this Illinois! I can feel it!

While I don't disagree with most of what you said...everyone has portal guys now. We've chosen St. John's type guys. This was my fear when MA came on as the ace recruiter. He's gonna get you studs...absolute freak ball players, but they're going to be st. John's type guys. Me guys. Get me a mateen cleaves, Jacque Vaughn, Fred vanvleet type guy in here. A guy that's got some dog in him & can take over when he has to...but is the absolute leader and gets everyone else going.

We will hard double Kofi and frustrate him early. We will then forget how to rotate for the last 30 minutes of the game...and give up a million wide open 3s. It's what we do.

If you're a D1 player, who isn't a legit 5...these words shouldn't be true: "nothing good happens when he puts the ball on the floor." That is lat Mayan. He is so bad, too slow to be a wing, to small to be a post, to slow of a shot to be consistent in a game, terrible defender. Verge is a great one on one player, but that's about it. We have at least 3 defensive liabilities on the floor at all times. We make awful decisions with the ball in our hands way too often. There are so many other things...ugh.

Guys I like: Walker Wilcher Webster Trey mcgowens Bryce mcgowens Guys I can't stand: Mayan----he's the worst Lakes----DIII Verge----hero ball Keisei---great shooter...horrible player Andre----deer in headlights He recruited this mess.

Noice

It's sad when a team playing hard/tough is a bad matchup...match up... agree with you though.

Michigan beat us by 35 already. We won't see them again unless we play in the conference tournament.

SDSU has a kid from my neck of the woods coming in next year. He's about 6'4" 285 DL. He's a wrestler as well. Remember the name Logan Green. He's gonna be a stud up there.

So, you're saying that there are a lot of 26-41 year olds watching college football now? That's what millennials are...yeah, that's the problem.

This is good news. We are all in agreement. Slow claps all around.

I see 12 wins
