He’s very important. He’s in many organizations and owns many businesses that he refuses to name

Shouldn’t you be at the local shop rite heckling the employees for failing to get a real job?
It's a real job...no doubt and they provide a tremendous service especially during the pandemic.. they're all heroes and I mean that sincerely.

We have not heard 1 fact from you.
You've heard me stating fact about this program for quite a while now. Pikes recruiting is mediocre at best and it's not going to cut it in this league. That is fact and every time I say it I get personally attacked by people who do a lot less in their careers and giving back to their community than I do.... that's fact

I'm impressed. Cow Chip processing is big business.
Nah Santa Fe is a top visitor and tourist destination and always rated one of the best places to live not only in the US but in the world. And I've taken advantage of that opportunity coming from Newark New Jersey. How about you guys

Wow, a travel agent. "Check out the big brain on Sante Fe". Travel Agents are glorified secretaries.

Can we get discounts on a travel package?

Maybe a tour guide company in one of most visited tourist destinations in the world.

What kind of business do you own? In what ways, specifically, do you give back?
I own a media company that my wife and I launched in '99 and started a program to take at-risk youth in our community gallery hopping on Friday nights to introduce them to the world of fine art, while also treating them to dinner to discuss what they just experienced. My family has donated for years to youth baseball in our community, UNM Lobo baseball, habitat for humanity, and artsmart which supplies art supplies to the local schools. I'm currently working with Los Alamos National Lab to start a paid career internship program for Santa Fe's youth with local businesses.... And you guys??

We lack talent...that's the problem...that's the bottom

You make a great point Don't get me wrong, I love these kids and they play hard. We really don't have any pure shooters on a regular basis. It seems every team we play, win or lose, they can hit outside shots effortlessly. While with us it's a struggle to consistently hit outside shots. It looks like it goes back to Pike's reliance on strong defense. And we do have one of the best in the country. But you still need to outscore your opponent to win. Imagine this defense with a consistent offense. We need more shooters and a good big man. A good shooter can be taught defense. This team is that close and it's a shame.

Pike knew we need shooters and bigs. Then he brought Oskar and Agee.

You are %100 correct. Our fans believe that Ron and Geo are more talented than they are. It appears that Paul is reverting back to old Paul. We lack pure shooters and guards that can break down a defense and create havoc. We also lack a legit 4 that can score and rebound.

I expected better, especially after our run in the NCAA's. Very disappointing honestly. But here I was tonight screaming til my voice was hoarse, just like I always do. But we need to do better recruiting shooters, then teach them to play tremendous defense!

Not that I 100% disagree with this premise, but just think its funny how the sh!tty recruiting threads were non-existent during our run a few weeks ago. I guess recruiting was good then.
Not true, there were posters that talked about the bad recruiting during the steak. I was one of them and there were others.
