Do we just not have the NIL to compete?

The roster looks more and more outmatched every game

Thereā€™s a reason we were marshā€™s only high major xfer offer

As a big time MB supporter, I really hate to say itā€¦but I think the poor team play is nearly 100% coaching. Every one of these young kids playing looked great at the high school level. They just arenā€™t getting what they need to convert to good D1 play.

The only players we have in the top 100 of their class are BT, BG, and Dailey, all more than serviceable in B12

Itā€™s people like quion, dow, Hicklen, marsh that look more than lost out there

Donā€™t get me wrong, boynton sucks cause itā€™s his crappy roster

BT not coming back tonight according to John. It was an elbow/shoulder injury but there is no fracture according to X-ray.

I agree with your sentiment that we have two ā€œtiersā€ of players. But I donā€™t think we can expect to get our entire team in the top 100 of recruits. Overall, MB has recruited okay according to ā€œstarsā€. He just hasnā€™t had good enough coaching to make an entire team of his pieces.

  1. The issue is the high ranked tier 1 players (Daily, BG, BT, Small) just arenā€™t coached to ā€œgrowā€ into better players. Itā€™s like whatever skill they entered OSU with is where they stay. Thatā€™s coaching.
  2. The tier 2 special skill players (Dow, Hicklen, Q, Marsh) are not providing the ā€œglueā€ to hold this team together because they are completely lost. They donā€™t have confidence to do their specific specialty (3-pt, rebound, rim protect, etc.) and they donā€™t have enough basketball IQ to mitigate their individual weaknesses. This is also coaching.

Basketball IQ , that is a big big component for a team, player. Kansas has about everyone outclassed but these guys are just playing street ball

Edit : a lot of our bigs , even the guards donā€™t seem to have enough strength to muscle anyone
Their bodies donā€™t look cut like they should

What is Dow shooting percentage on 3ā€™s ?

His shooting percentage om any FG is 0% today. Bad bad night for him as a shooter.

Fire MB for not emptying the bench at half time.

Roughly Ferron Flavors territory.

Cool man

According to the movie Major League 2, it takes at least 3 wins in a row for a streak. Iā€™d be really shocked if this team finds 3 wins in a row.
