Are we going to have a team?

Somebody on here doesn't understand how the transfer portal works. First you lose players, THEN you add players. Voila, you have a team. The quality of the team depends on if the players you add are better than the players you lost.
Easy on the logic there man. Might cause some aneurysms on here.

I do think this is starting to look REALLY bad for Pope though if he doesn't get a win and soon.

Roster spots are dwindling down! This is hilarious. Thank the Lawd its year 3!! What a joke.
Stupid *** post. Lol followed by a stupid reply. And last I checked everyone complained that last year's team sucked so these guys leaving is a good thing correct? This board has become insufferable I can't believe these are real ppl

Brandon Garrison averaged 10 pts per game at Oklahoma State ..a power 5 school...and we are looking to add a kid from San Francisco (which is not a power five school) who averages around the same amount. We must add players who have averaged at least 16-18 points a game and not add back ups who have not.

Some of you guys sucks ***:
Pope raided Jackson State, grabbed MO (most sought after assistant in CBB) and now is on track to bring in Daeshun Ruffin, who absolutely terrorized opponents, some will scoff at his height 5’8 barefooted, 5’10 with shoes, though he plays like he’s 6’6, he has a 96-inch wingspan and a 58-inch vertical! Yeah, he‘s a career 30% from three shooter, though that doesn’t tell the full story.
There’s also rumor JQ is coming back, hence all of the cats leaving via the portal, they’re freeing up money, according to polymarket, $5M, which is a steal, dude is an absolute beast and a force to be reckoned with.
Someone recently saw Pope at Gold’s Gym on the pec deck, dude is a changed man, he’s on a vision quest…he was observed just last night running across Clay’s Ferry Bridge at 2am in a silver plastic sweat suit…
Did you start a thread with the same post?

We’ve lost no one of relevance who we wanted to come back and we are in the mix with much better replacements in the portal. Not seeing the point of this post, we can’t land the portal guys for 3 more days but within a week our roster will be coming together. This is exactly what we needed to happen to have a chance to succeed next season. Go troll elsewhere.

He scored double digits 12 times in like 72 games here or something. Too inconsistent.

The portal has not yet even opened. We’re officially not even allowed to recruit its players until it does.

So, No, it’s not yet “starting to look REALLY bad”. We don’t yet have any clue how Pope’s portal recruiting is going. Which is why threads like these are silly right now. Wait at least until after April 7 to begin the whining.

I’m all for drilling Pope on his horrible job but yea, we were saying all the players on last years team weren’t good. So we should be happy none are staying? I know I am.

We're doing the same thing as last year. Same type of team, same coach, same results. There simply isn't enough in the portal to even replace the players we are losing. Stokes isn't enough, even if we get him (which I doubt).

Capaluto is likely going to make an abomination out of the AD hire.

It's like some of you can't see, or refuse to see that oak tree that's in our way. This is a full calendar year of just throwing the program down the drain that hopefully, mercifully ends next March. Enjoy, because we're just getting started, bro!

I really don’t think a lack of good players is the problem. For instance. Was ISU that stacked of a team? We have a poor locker room culture that doesn’t prioritize effort.

I don’t disagree at all. Most of the board (myself included) is dreading a year three but at the very least if we are stuck with Pope again let’s at least run it with some different guys that maybe fit better. That’s all.
