1) Saying we don't have a pg isn't an excuse. It is a fact. Look at our roster.

2) The fact it is a fact is the fault of the HC more than anyone else. That isn't rocket science.

I think a good coach would do more with the guards we have on roster. Maybe not turn water into wine, but he'd do better than we are right now

knowing we shouldn't average 24 turnovers per game in road sec games shouldn't be rocket science either considering many of them aren't made by the PG.

Gilder is our only guard that would play on ~90% of the P5 teams out there. Hampton was a shot in the dark and miss. Eubanks is a bust...which happens. The rest are all either unranked (like Smith) or walkons. Losing Caldwell hurts, but even with him, we'd have 2 guys that could play elsewhere.

The good news is help is on the way. The bad news we'll start losing bigs very soon.

For Method, that means the HC is doing a very poor job managing the roster, year after year. Clear enough?

DJ is one of our worst TO machines. He's having to do a lot of ball handling that is normally done by guards. Leading to TOs. Why? Because we have no guards. SCIENCE.

Stop digging dude. You made a silly assumption that I was making excuses for BK when I wasn't. Just drive on.

Uh you made an excuse and your stupid laughing emoticon doesn't change that. BK's teams have always been turnover prone and mostly all sucked so however you want to frame it as an isolated incident is an excuse.

Very few of his turnovers are related to handling the ball. It's not like he keeps dribbling off his foot while trying to bring the ball up. Lacking Penny Hardaway is not why this team is 9-7

Anyways love you oljock. We want the same thing and we both agree things would be better with a good PG and that that's on Kennedy.

We are in furious agreement.

Unfortunately with the new buyout, BK will be the one responsible for "solving" this problem.

I agree that Gilder appears to be the only legit D-1 guard, but I think a better coach would coax more out of the other guys. I also don't think we have a clear idea of their ceilings (particularly Eubanks') because I haven't seen enough player development from other people who've come through the program.

I don't know. That discussion gets messy in a hurry, so probably not worth diving in. Suffice it to say that I think a good coach would get more from the guards on our roster than Kennedy is.

At least the Ags get to play LSU and Mizz twice each

Look at this picture. These young guys are aggies and are doing their best, but when the ENTIRE front row has no business on a P5 roster (and the ineligible guy on the 2nd row is also a guard), you gots troubles.

One of the problems is having Eubanks and Hampton and Vila in TOGETHER...and blowing a 10 point lead.

BK rotations. Bring your Tums and nitroglycerin pills.

You can get away with missing some pieces in college. You can go 4 guards, you can go big. But you can't go "no PG". And guess what? We ain't got no PG.

These folks disagree.




We have 4 top 100 players, including a future Lotto pick.


No excuse for not being an NCAAT team.


The team that played UCLA has disintegrated.
