    Pope hasnt put together a natty contending team EVER

    I have been a member of this forum for over 10 years. Had to restart when the board changed a year or so back. There was a time when posts were largely pertaining to basketball but that tide has shifted. Now, posts insult our coach, players, and fellow posters and many are disgusting with the...

    Pope hasnt put together a natty contending team EVER

    Agree, CMP has never put together a National Championship team. Utah Valley and BYU were always contenders for the Final 4 before CMP arrived at their respective school and have been contenders ever since he left these schools!

    Any one see this?

    Have similar feelings toward OO too ala kat. Great talent but had the feeling this season that he is more of a “Me” guy than a “We” guy. Allow him another go and I wonder how he would mesh with the new hires!

    If the $22 million dollars spent last year is true, I don’t believe it is, then we can afford 2-3 high dollar high school or portal players.

    Miikka Muurinen

    How many times have you seen him play? Not highlights but games. My guess is ZERO, yet you make a statement that he could possibly come off the bench. I have also seen him zero times, watched some highlights and believe he is a 4 or 5 star. So I have no knowledge of his capability to play or...

    Scalding article with Gary Parrish comments

    You know nothing about him but that does not stop you from making an ignorant remark about this young man. It is obvious you do not care for CMP but there is no need to do this! You should be ashamed and I have no reason to entertain your comments since they have no basis. Ignore!

    Chandler to portal "do not contact tag"

    Moreno came back because Kentucky is home. Believe Collin is leaving to go home to Utah with his wife who is also from Utah, so II think these are similar situations. Don’t think anyone knows the actual dollars that were offered but I believe, maybe naïvely, that money was not the biggest...

    Freshman Led Teams Just Aren’t Winning The Titles Anymore

    Agree Peter Most good to great players and, in turn, their teams have characteristics, other than talent, that lead to team success. 1. Fit - do the players on the floor have complimentary skills? Need a mix of shooters, rebounders, passers, defensive pests etc. A well rounded roster that...

    My recruiting to salvage next season

    Don’t have names of players to target but we need desperately players that can: 1. Rebound the ball - physical PF and/or Center, Chuck Hayes/Oscar type 2. Protect the ball - PG with passing skills, but more importantly handles the ball well. Also a secondary ball handler that can help 3...

    He was worse this year. But you’re not going to get a really good player if he gets 5 or less minutes a game. His shot, if it comes back, makes the defense account goer him on the offensive end and maybe opens up a teammate. He leaves and you replace him with a new guy with similar talent.

    Trent is a 4 year player. There used to be a time in college basketball when a young man was allowed to mature both physically and mentally. Today if you are not showing up on NBA draft boards as a freshman, you are labeled a failure. He is a rising Junior and did not hav a good year. But I...

    Garrison to the portal

    Enigma is an accurate term to use with Brandon. All American for a game, then several games of nothing. Has spurts but no consistency and as a rising Senior, little room to grow. We were spoiled with Amari and may not find a better alternative in the portal than BG, but I think this is a...

    Garrison to the portal

    Believe that Keegan Brown is important in the role of establishing what a player is worth, the players pluses and minuses, and how he could fit or does not fit on this team’s preferred style of play next season. May be cold and calculated but college basketball is now a business from the...

    Trim. The. Fat.

    A team needs complimentary players. Some have all around skills - offense/ defense/intangibles. These are your top players and you need 2-3 of these types. Others may be superb shooters, rebounders, ball handlers etc but average or below average in the other skills. While you would prefer...
