wait but losing Eugene isnt an issue..ahem

but the thing is there are a TON of issues on this team..the first few games showed that. We cannot shoot, you can say whatever you want but its looking like the team is compromsed more of role players than anything else

its why recruiting matters and its hard to build a team with underrecruited players

BAC Spot on comments regarding woeful shooting.Lots of players have similar skill sets that doesn't include shooting.

Anybody know why Mathis hasn’t played much? Is he sick?

seems like we would need his defense

RU is lucky to only be down 43-30 after being down 19......thank god McConnell is 6-6 for at the line. Young is just not a plus for this team despite incredible amounts of hype from posters on this board


2-16 from our guards today.....the other guys 7-11...hey you think maybe Pike should work on the inside game..Myles has to step it up and become a scoring option

you are right, it seems we have alot of guards that are okay but none of them are good enough to be what we need them to be to win at the highest levels. None of them are good shooters and that is a major issue. The hype of Kiss and Young are well documented and their contributions are turning into Johnny Blake and Nigel Johnson

C’mon guys, we all need to be “enjoying the grind”! There were plenty of signs in 2 of the first 3 games about this happening. Bad shot selection, lack of team play, poor defense on the 3, no inside presence, and most importantly, no leader or take control guy on this team. Pikiell has thrown in a few of these stinker losses the past 2 years (not to mention too many squeakers against teams we should blow out). In year 4, this is unacceptable. Still time to turn it around but they better have a Titanic-sized alarm clock in the locker room at half time.

I’m convinced Myles just is what he is and always will be. Passive and Soft. We’ve got no interior game at either end.
