Love having fans back, the energy is fantastic. A few thoughts:
1. When Geo comes back I hope the 30 minutes lost are mostly split between Paul and Caleb. They are definitely playing well recently, but I think Hyatt and Jaden are our best iso scorers and the combo of Geo/Paul/Caleb playing simultaneously does not create enough offense.
2. Ralph is not the answer as the backup 5. Give me Dean, Oscar or even Mawot, but Ralph will get dominated on both ends of the floor against Big 10 bigs.
3. Pikiell is our coach and should not be on the hot seat. This program is at the beat point we’ve seen it in 30+ years due to what he has built. Tonight was a reminder to trust his plan, and despite slumps and even a few down years he should continue to be our coach until we see multiple subpar seasons combined with low level recruiting.
