Chris Cokely has improved the last two years. Fair correction from my first post. Another fair point is we’ve struggled to find a closer since Robert Brown graduated.

Points on the other side. Eshan inherited a better roster than any of his predecessors. Our SOS hasn’t been good at all in two years. While Eshan is a good recruiter only one player he got here as head coach is really contributing. Nobody has challenged that we’ve not won a single game as an underdog in two years. It’s a fair point that Eshan may just need a key assistant addition.

Bringing up our recent NCAA drought is one thing, but as a mid major I’m surprised that there was no mention of our NIT success. That needs to be included.

So why are some mad that we are having this discussion? If we can’t look at these things on a message board then where can we talk about it?

I’m fully behind Rob Eshan and hopeful they flip the script down the stretch. But he’s not met the expectations that he acknowledged were there when he took the job with this roster.
