Sucks for Jayce. After seeing these first couple of games I can understand why he bailed.

Sounds like Minnesota relies heavily on a 6-10 soph who is pretty good. Beyond that they have been shooting poorly from distance. Let's hope that continues.
Very cool. Now we probably just need 5-6 more commits for next year and we should be in good shape.
Sorry I couldn't resist.
So do all you debbie downers have a different feeling after last night's game? It's only one game but this doesn't feel like a 12-15 win team. I am pretty encouraged by what I saw last night.

Why would the NCAA want to punish the programs that are bringing in the bucks? The blue bloods have nothing to fear when it comes to the NCAA.
It's hard to fault LK for pursuing these guys with ties to the program. A lot of these guys got paid and that swayed them to other schools. That's the crappy part of college hoops that is killing it...
A little much I think. They beat us pretty good this last year but that hasn't been the norm lately like it was before LK.
Of course, the first two gigs didn't work out so well but no sweat. You got this Ray!
All we need is one team to get nationally relevant on a more consistent basis similar to Gonzaga. Really that team should be UCLA most every year given their advantages. Of course it would be nice if...
A few things:
Do people really expect CJJ back next year? He seems like the most likely candidate to move on. It happens every year. The fact that we are still recruiting for next year is telling. ...
Damn! Is this conference going to be a one bid league?
Excluding some of the blue bloods, apathy is everywhere until march comes around. The sad truth of college basketball. Now with recruiting scandals just confirming what everyone suspected. It's kind...
I do think its important to remember that in basketball one guy can make a huge difference in the success of a program. What if Lahat turns out to be a gem? Rylan Jones? Gach or Gaskin. That is what...
'biq,
All of those points are valid concerns. It's disappointing to see a four star kid like JJ that isn't more developed after three years in the program. I was certainly expecting a better start...
Laughing at the folks who want LK out. They seem to forget how awful we were before LK. This team needs a Bibbins. Gach needs to take over.
Is USC really going to start throwing the ball 50 times per game? This seems like an odd fit.
What a joke!
I don't think this season could have started any worse.
This conference needs new leadership. Larry Scott really needs to go.
...
I had the same feeling at the time. It would not have been pretty.
Good stuff, thanks OSU.
Let's hope Jayce can get/stay healthy. Do you expect Lahat to contribute this year?
I don't think it is unreasonable to think that at least one of these young guns blossoms early and heads to the NBA next year.
Off the top of my head we are losing Barefield, Topolovic and Van Dyke. That is three spots for the three commits. Am I missing something?
