And 3 professional wings/posts with Niang, Nader, and McKay... the cupboard was loaded
Fred could have left a better situation sure but this is the most overused excuse. He left the best player in school history for one year and Monte for two years. Ideally we would have had better bigs but Fred didn't always have someone just sitting there either. 3 losses at home for the talent we have is inexcusable and we probably lose against Baylor too.
I've never been to a game in Ames. This probably won't be the year. I almost went to the Vandy game but I was afraid that I might jinx them... I guess it didn't matter.
and if you had them sit on each other's shoulders we could make 2 quality big men.
Can't do everything for him. He had a full 18 months to get a Juco or grad transfer. He took the risk on Malou knowing the consequences. At what point does this stop being about Fred 2019-2020? Just need to figure when CSP actually becomes responsible for this program.
Maybe CW and Blum can do another podcast about how fans shouldn't overreact to one loss or blame Prohm. I'm sorry, but they are completely on the bubble now. Is it ok to be upset? This isn't the NBA...losses do matter.
I love that zone Steve rolled out. The players really looked like they spent a lot of practice time on that.
Exactly. Fred screwed us for sure. But Prohm knew he was losing Niang, McKay and Nader after last season the day he took the job. Maybe don't spend two scholarships on risky players. One risk is enough when you absolutely need a hole filled.
I honestly thought the crowd energy was lackluster to be truthful. There are a lot of critical moments where West Virginia scored the basket and the crowd just sat down and got out of it.
Yep, Fred left him with a great game manger, two good role players, and a sometimes mismatch, all of which should play the 1-3 spots. Worse yet he left him this in June. This season was obvious then and why there was an element of Fred getting out while he could back in 2015.
Close to enough, but not quite, just as our on court results. Prohm was handed a hole for this year, and he wasn't able to step up to the challenge and pull off the key addition(s) needed last spring.
Actually we had four empty possessions in a row, all of which came after stopping WV. I was so goddam frustrated............
And those banked-in threes, JFC..........you couldn't have written it up any crazier.
Of COURSE it's OK to be upset. You don't have to ask me.
Just don't expect me to be upset with you. I'm willing to give CSP a chance to succeed.
Because they knew what was coming next.
We'll probably finish this season without a win over a ranked team in Hilton. That's inexcusable, and it will cost us an NCAA berth, which is also inexcusable.
Like the mediocre Baylor team we lost to Fred's last year when we had a chance to take over 1st place in the Big 12? Was it dead that night too?
We just aren't as good as we've been the last 3 years, I don't think a lack of magic has anything to do with it.
I just didn't expect this with 6 seniors. We will be ok, but I have to admit I was hoping to get the big win we needed last night. There will be plenty of other chances.
So what I get out of this is Prohm's hands are tied with what he has, but can recognize, recruit and coach up NBA talent. Agree %100. Can't wait till next year when he has his recruits and Hoibergs headcases are gone.
I second this. I was yelling at the TV last night for the fans to stand up and make some noise. Hilton Magic is not the same since Fred left.
You're looking forward to Thomas, Morris, and Naz leaving? I sure am not. I'm not confident at all we come close to filling their void next year. Wigginton and Lewis can't do it all.
