We are decidedly not a good team. Name one thing we do well? We turn the ball over at a ridiculous rate. Can't shoot from the perimeter. We are atrocious defensively. Our two centers move like their feet are stuck in quicksand. We underachieved last year when we had the best offensive player in the league and another stud in Tre Scott. Those guys are gone and Brannen has shown to be clearly in over his head.

Who has gotten any better besides Davenport? Vogt's regression is laughable. At least Brannen realized 6 games in that you can't play him and Rap together. Keith Williams gets in foul trouble every game.

I could not be more down on this program right now. We do not have a single recruit for next year as Brannen decided he wouldn't offer anyone that he couldn't see in person. Guess what, pal? We are in the midst of a global pandemic and not a single coach can watch these guys in person. This roster is void of talent going forward except Eason (I like Saunders but his jumper make Jarreau look like Steph Curry) and our coach decided to punt on an entire recruiting class????

Brannen is a joke. I know he will likely get two more years but I have zero hope for his tenor. They have gotten worse each game this season and the guy can't recruit. We hired a low major coach, who hired a low major staff. What are we doing here again?

This is UC's worst start since the early 80s. That team finished 3-25. Haven't lost 4 straight games in 11 years (when we were in the Big East). Hadn't lost to USF at home in 32 years. Check. Had never lost back to back games to UCF. Check. Can't wait for what other first Brannen accomplishes this year. Really looking forward to see how this brilliant coach recruits after finishing in the bottom half of a bad league...

--saunder- true freshman
--eason- true freshman
--MAW- true sophomore
--Harvery- true sophomore - who didnt play any as a freshman
--davenport- true sophomore- limited minutes as a freshman
--dejulius- just joined UC - in a year with no scrimmages
--Rap- just joined UC and never played at this level

that makes is every key player on UC but 2....in a year without scrimmages, and limited practices..
you are putting to much "bust" value on early season play from this season

i want to address some of your big points

-- no recruits-- who cares- the biggest and best transfer portal, with immiidiate eligibility is about to happen..this being impatient--brannen has shown he can get transfers too

-- who has gotten better-- harvey has gotten better- did you look at his stat line today, did you see the game.. he looked amazing, i was watching this game like, so this is zach ahrvey..the rest are new players who have all gotten better as the season went along...saunders, eason, dejulius are getting better each game its obvious

- Vogt regression- i think vogt gets to much blame, i dont think vogt has regressed at all..vogt regression would be shooting 2-8 from the field, its more like 0-1.. vogt doesnt dribble and cant feed himself...what you see as a vogt regression, is in reduction in the experience around him...vigt would be producing if he was being fed better

--roster void of talent- its silly to say, young doesnt mean bad.. 3 of your 5 starters never started before.. most of your rotation are underclassmen and 6 games in you are saying they dont have talent...

the real issue is that as a uc fan you just are used to rebuilding years..
