Probably watched the game.

Perhaps he'd like to develop skills, have a coach that knows what he's doing and run a super efficient offense.

I don’t know. What do you think?

This sucks

Not surprised ... Too bad !! Need to find a guard that can help next year. Stop signing wings.

Is it well now ? He has chased the pie in the sky from day one --and let good area players walk.

Some of us have been warning you that it wouldn't end well, from the day he was hired.

He needs a guy who can win off the bounce...Honestly I think this team is one player away. Issue is how many guys can Penny keep in the fold.

You have more optimism than I do. I think this team has a LOT more problems than just a PG if the goal is to he a final 4 contender.

Offense still has no flow, urgency or off-ball movement - often looks like a rec team that only practices here snd there. Defense is fools gold with lots of gambling and poor discipline, shows up when we just need to play solid in big moments. Staff makes few or no adjustments in-game, even when opponent is doing something obvious repeatedly Rotations and Timeout management make no sense.

the nit wits that said this after he was hired can only hope that happens ,it is their only change at satisfaction.

Players always decommitt but say that the old school is still an option. Has any player ever decommitted and then recommited to the same school?

Rivals has Texas Tech high on his list so he is as good as gone. If he has a parent, relative or coach that knows sheet about basketball that he trusts and has watched both teams then they should be screaming go to TT in his ear.

Lol...Nah I don't think we are one player away from being a final four contender...

I think we are one player away from being an 8 seed.

It happened to us in football this year with Jones and Raby. However, it is pretty rare. They don't have to stop talking with other schools just because they commit so I am not sure why you would decommit and keep the school you decommitted from in the mix in general. Anything is possible but wouldn't seem likely in this case IMO.

Ahh.. we can agree to agree then. With a serviceable PG (not even elite), I think this team is a solid 8-10 seed.

I'm one of the ones that said it.

And, it doesn't bring me any satisfaction. Seeing what this fanbase is going to do to a local legend is not going to bring any pleasure.

But how effective can a "serviceable" pg even be in this mess? You got too many guys solely interested in getting theirs.

In other words, we are counting on a serviceable pg to elevate the team when it's just as likely that this team brings down that imaginary pgs value and ability to produce.
