Couldn't agree more. If kids want to bail because we're having a down year, or they (or their parents) think they know more than the coaches about who should get playing time, then by all means enter the transfer portal and GTF out. We don't need those kinds of toxic, selfish attitudes in the locker room.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Sun Apr 17, 2022 10:09 pm I’m not sure the posts here reflect the lockeroom.
But if it does: They have some selfish kids. The pipeline clears after this year. IMO Players should look elsewhere if they are unhappy.
Until now, this season has felt a lot like 2021 to me, but now I think it's more like 2015 (2013 is a good analogy too). We came off a strong season (#3 seed in the NCAA's) with high expectations, and ended up losing a lot of close games. 2015 is the last time Georgetown beat us too, incidentally. I don't know how many kids bailed after that 2015 season, but the next year we were in the Final Four.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Sun Apr 17, 2022 10:09 pm Hoping for a 2021 ending but it feels more like 2013 with all the internal distractions. I personally put this one is on the players. I see lots of talent, but no on-field leadership.
A lot of things have to fall into place to have a successful season. Turn a few of our close losses into close victories, in games where we led in the second half, and this could have been a huge season. Instead, we are where we are.
