Sidney = Corliss ?
I agree, it's a bit early to judge. But halfway through his first season Corliss has one Division I victory. Believe it or not, Sidney had 3 DI wins halfway through his first season.

I think Sidney had more to work with when he came here than Corliss has. LaVerne Smith and Stan Blackmon were pretty good recruits.
But as you say, time will tell.

I have no idea what Corliss has or doesn't have to work with. I do know he in a much easier conference, so I still expect him to end up with more DI wins than Sidney did.

What about that guy named Barksdale? He wasn't bad. When you look at the rest of those guys now, you may wonder how he only won four games, but you know why he didn't win 10-15 games.

Michael Lovitt-Sr.
Michael Neal-Jr.
Adrian Brown-So.
Roman Brown-Fr.
Derrick Bryant-So.Alex Finger-Fr.
Mark Green-Fr.
Vernon Johnson-So.
Terry Lee-Jr.
Troy Moore-Jr.
Roderick Neally-Fr.
Damion Ninkoic-So.
Bart Reid-So.


So, other than Barky, Laverne, and Stan, who was going to win many games with that bunch of players? Most of those guys, I didn't even remember, and I used to consider myself a pretty good fan. Now Mark Green was pretty good, but he was a freshman that year.

So, Sidney didn't have a whole hell lot of talent. In other words, the cupboard was pretty bare. Wimp had left the building. I suspect Wimp would have won a few more game just on his coaching ability, but not many more. If Wimp could have played .500 ball with that bunch, he would have been National Coach of the Year.

Then Sidney brought in some pretty good talent for Porter, then he left Dodge and never got to use it.

Were they bad players, or did they seem bad because Sidney didn't use them properly?

I didn't realize Barky played for Sidney. Maybe he didn't play much because he was a great shooter but not a great defensive player.03-drunk

Barky averaged 13.5 points per game. He was the third leading scorer on the team behind Richard Hardman(15.9) and Laverne Smith(15.8). He hit 80 of 209 three point attempts for .383. He didn't shoot many free throws, and was 25 of 30 at the line.

I had no idea Richard's numbers were that good. I guess I've blocked out most of that season.

With three players with those numbers, we must have played horrible defense. And Sidney was defensive player of the year in the NBA on more than one occasion.

Well, we allowed 76.7 points for all games, and 78.6 for conference games.
