I'm so greatly disappointed in what I've been seeing in particular this year. Last year was a pass for me and in the first 3 years there seemed to be good progress with the program. I'm ready to turn the page on this. While I do not believe that our long term basketball future hangs in the balance, I do believe that a change is necessary for most all the reasons that have been articulated previously. The record is the record. We are starting to look like Danny Nee's last year and it can't get any worse than that! I will continue to watch and root for these players but it's getting pretty tough to do so. Can we ever get it right here!?!?

CLK again you hit the nail on the head - this is on KD - who has lost the ability to connect with today's college player.  Styles thanks for that bit of intel, much appreciated, and Phil I have been saying the same thing about Primo.  He has some talent, but he is not getting the team moving and participating like a PG should - to much 1 on 1.  Iron Duke I watched the game last night and I was throwing my hands in the air when hearing the announcers saying what we have known for a while now - "no offensive movement" and "you are not going to beat Dayton going one on one".  I also saw the article in the Trib this morning where KD said Tre is playing out of position and we need a center and two guards with length.  No shi Sherlock, you knew about the lack of a true center heading into this year and yet you didn't recruit one and you still don't play Hima enough when the season is already down the toilet.  As to the 2 guards you reference you need, well that tells me you miscalculated on Ayers as he hasn't got it done and for some mysterious reason you figured you would rely on not 1, but 2 freshman PG's!!!  Again, one seasoned PG and one Center should have been part of last year's recruiting class and the fact is KD just missed on Ayers it seems to me.

A couple of quotes from Dambrot which were listed in the latest Trib article -

“We’re just too small, and we don’t have enough playmaking abilities,” Dambrot said. 

“We need a couple of skilled guys in the backcourt — long, skilled guys — and we need a center. That would free up some of the others to play in their natural positions.”

Gee.. ya think?  How did he misjudge his picks from the transfer portal so badly?  It would sure be nice to have a Marcus Weathers who put up 27 points against Wichita in a recent game... or even a Tydus Verhoeven (remember him?) who is now 6'9" and 235 and just put up 14 Pts, 13 Reb, 3 A and 2 Blk against Florida International.  And, that doesn't include Williams, Baker, Harris or Kelly who seemed pretty long and had some skills.  But, you could not win with them because they didn't have the right 'attitude'.  Well, maybe it's the coach's attitude that needs to change.  

KD also said Dayton just has better players than DU?  Who's fault is that? Didn't we pay him a million a year to recruit top players?
