Didnt a infamous poster say we wouldnt know until mid june what our team was going to be?
............oh wait.........
Maybe he meant early July?
People whined all summer because they have zero patience and turns out; Jones got 2 big men.
And you knew all along they would end up with 2 highly rated (out of high school) transfers from big name colleges? Sure.
2 highly rated but completely UNPROVEN transfers.
Austin Colbert and Kah were both 4 star recruits from other schools who had zero impact so let’s not go handing jones any extensions yet.
Although my personal opinion is that these kids seem like different types of players than either of those types.
I ALWAYS wait and see.
Same here. Let's see if he gets the waiver first. If not, we are still shorthanded in the frontcourt for next season, which will likely be the 8th in a row without an NCAA bid, by far the longest drought on record.
This is a good pickup and should be a good player for us for years to come (provided that he doesn't graduate and leave for Colorado when he is most needed). It's almost good enough of a pickup that, if we don't get to the dance next season, I'm almost tempted to give the staff an extra year...almost.
But I'm not falling for that trick again. Been there, done that. It seems that "our year" is always one season away. Just wait until we get this next 3-4 star guy in our lineup, then all will be well. Unfortunately, that promise of success never seems to come to fruition.
So while JJ and staff are finally landing some young frontcourt players, a failure to get to the dance this year will mean that we have to start rebuilding the backcourt after this season.
Sooner or later, we need THIS YEAR to be our year. I'm tired of waiting for the myth of NEXT YEAR. Nope, not going to fall for that one again.
Call it too little too late. 2019 NCAAs or Jones has to go!!!
