Team has quit, just like the Michigan & Auburn games.

Not saying Hoiberg will get fired. But definitely deserves to be fired at this point.

Considering this guy’s forte was signing transfers and junior college players and gave them to Mech together he hasn’t done that in two years.

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.  

[SouthLincoln Husker]

I agree with lakes & meyan.

 

Keiser should not a starter, but works hard.  I put wilcher in the same boat as he is young.  Both got thrown in due to trey bring injured.

 

Verge needs to come of the bench a few games.   

[SouthLincoln Husker]

Hoiberg is doing what worked at Iowa st., but the big 10 is much tougher league.  He has changed from a 5 out to a 4 out, but walker is a 4 playing a 5.  He needs to recruit tougher kids.  Bryce, verge & mayen get flustered when the calls do not go their way,  but I see Bryce getting better.  I'm tired of the other 2 complaining on most of their contested shots.

This is why I said I loved Pikel and wish that NU would have hired him.  They are not flashy (Baker is a bit) but they just play so hard and thee defend and they play mad.

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.

I just don't have the words to describe how disappointing this team has been.

 

They have too many "great" shooters who can't shoot.  Wilcher @ 37.7%, Webster @ 36.6% & Tominaga @ 33.7% are the only ones who even shoot at a rate that is acceptable.  Every other player shouldn't be shooting 3's.

 

They have too many players who are out to "get theirs".  Verge is the biggest example, but Bryce McGowens does the same thing.  At various times Tominaga, Wilcher & Webster have hunted shots too.

 

Their post players are all undersized.  I like Walker, but in the B1G a 6' 9" post won't cut it.  Andre has a lot of potential but needs to get stronger.  He's got the right length but gets pushed around too easily.  He also looks really awkward with the ball in his hands.

 

They, in theory, have a couple of stretch 4's but Mayan is shooting 21.6% from three, is a horrible ball handler and doesn't rebound.  Breidenbach, before he was injured, had a lot of the same issues, but I'll give him a bit of a break since he is a freshman.  At the very least he hustled when he was on the floor, he looked like a bull in a China shop many times, but at least he gave effort.  I'm not sure to say about Lakes, he was clearly a great D2 player, but the move to D1 seems to have been too big of a leap.

 

There are some people that say Trey McGowens will solve some of the issues, but he's not going to fix the 3-point shooting.  His presence might solve the lack of hustle, but I'm not convinced.  He's also not going to be a savior for all their rebounding issues or lack of mental toughness.

 

Keon Edwards hasn't played enough to give a reasonable assessment, but there's probably a reason he's not playing.  He's played more than Lakes (81 minutes vs 72), but has made no impression while he's been out there.

[Hayseed]

Oh my gosh, what a disaster.
