Stans misses NCAA tournament

[Leeshouldveflanked]

WKU was the preseason pick to win CUSA Lost to ODU by 6.. was a 2 pt game with around 3 mins left... long shot to make NIT and his 5 Star Center may leave as well...some things never change.

He will revive A&M

 

[ArcherSPS]

Why would A&M hire a guy that that can’t even win the C-USA with blue chip players?

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Do they sell Bryan hotdogs?

Stans has recruited well at WKU but his roster isn't filled with blue chip players. I think aTm hiring him would be a good move for them. They can hire better but there's also a whole lot of worse out there they could hire as well.

WKU’s 2017 class was ranked 15th Nationally and 2018 was ranked 29th Nationally.... over the last two years he has signed 2 5-Stars and 2 4-Stars.... according to the rankings he has recruited better than UNC, Florida, Auburn, MSU during that time frame.

That's not a roster filled with blue chip players. Like I said he's recruited well but he ain't rostering Duke. Also Mitchell Robinson the 5* player he signed in 2017 that was the reason for that high ranking never played a second for WKU.

LIES, LIES, ALL LIES. IT CAN'T BE TRUE....HE WAS THE BEST BASKETBALL COACH WE EVER HAD. IF WE HADN'T UNFAIRLY FIRED HIM HE WOULD BE WINNING MULTIPLE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

Regardless, when you have the 6th ranked player nationally coming out of high school, you should make the tourney in the CUSA.

Two 5-stars is 40% of the starters

That's not a roster filled with blue chip players.

That’s scrong. I’d guess that any other team with two five stars was ranked all year and considered a favorite to reach the sweet 16.

What are the names of the 2 5* players thst were on the roster, much less on the court, at the same time?

I look forward to this- should be creative, if even responded to.

 

[DAWG61]

One 5* outta 13 players on a roster isn't a roster filled with blue chip players. CUSA is a better conference than some here are giving credit for. You don't just show up and get a NCAA bid as long as you have one 5* player.

 

[ArcherSPS]

The highest rated team from the CUSA is USM at 92. That conference is not good, not even by non-p5 standards.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Charles Bassey 5* & #6 National Recruit in 2018 is the only 5*. Josh Anderson was 4* & #61 in 2017 & Delano Blanton was a 4* & #92 in 2018. 5* & #9 overall Mitchell Robinson from 2017 never played for WKU

It's a conference not good enough to get at large bids but just good enough to make it difficult to win the auto-bid.

One five star never played. He’s done a nice job there. It’s a good fit.

WKU is a good fit for Stans....but his shot at big time basketball has come and gone.

Interesting story, took a year off just to work out...

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

Do they sell Bryan hotdogs?

Or let his kids coach the players?

Very few get that shot. He’s had a very good career.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

My entire research of Stans season came from this thread

I look forward to this- should be creative, if even responded to.

I should’ve known he would’ve wasted time and recruiting budget on someone who would never play. Has he already transferred?

 

[Ranchdawg]

Funny thread, we finally make the NCAA tourney and folks on here

One 5* outta 13 players on a roster isn't a roster filled with blue chip players. CUSA is a better conference than some here are giving credit for. You don't just show up and get a NCAA bid as long as you have one 5* player.

Act like we are regulars when they talk about a coach that took us there the most. Sad that they sit behind keyboards and throw stones at a person that once was a die hard Bulldog. Instead of wishing him well with his career they prefer to disparage him. With fans like this who needs opponents?

 

[DoggieDaddy13]

I still get angry when I think about how his teams performed in the early 2000's (2002 and 2004, I think) we were a #2 seed one year and #3 the other and we got bounced in the second round both times -- by decent opponents, but ones we would have beaten if we'd have had a stronger coach.

I know it was kind of early in his career, but he crapped the bed and never really got much better. I miss him none.

I got a flashback when I saw this on twitter a few minutes ago...

I know it's a shocker, but SE Missouri State didn't make the dance either.

 

[ArcherSPS]

But nobody was bleating during the season to rehire Rick Ray.

Didn’t A&M’s BBK program almost get the death penalty when Froggie was there? Stands is the last coach they need to hire

lol, how in the Hell did he get that job?

NCAA has enough fish to fry already they'll be busy for a decade. Now is when you hire someone like Sampson, Pitino or Stansbury.

Stricklin gave a hearty Go Gators! to Southeast Missouri and they said "Sure."
