T or F: the last three seasons of Aggie basketball are better as a group than any three consecutive seasons either BCG or Turgeon had at any point in their careers?
Leonard Hamilton didn't make the NCAAs until his 7th year at Florida State.Method Man said:

Depends on if you consider Flagg, Chandler, Wilson, Nebo, and Starks stud recruits.Method Man said:Why the arbitrary time stamp? True or false? Kennedy has underachieved every year except one and was humiliated once he made the sweet sixteen both times.GE said:

True or false? Most of the stud recruits came when we had Keller and Stansbury and now recruiting appears to have fallen off.
And Hamilton has made the Sweet 16 twice in 16 years.Method Man said:
Anomaly. Also, They're also a football school that really doesn't care.

It's not that I think we're doing great. It's that I think the "we are the worst program in the country" narrative some want to push is silly.Method Man said:
Law,are you managing my expectations? Two sweet sixteens is great. Should have made the tourney last four years. Agreed?
But we didn't and that looks to have been a prudent decision as we have made the Sweet 16 2 of the past 3 years and that is something never accomplished before in the history of our basketball program.Method Man said:

OUR history is trash.
Hate all you want but an assistant coach's recruits are a head coach's recruits. Unless you are talking about Turgeon at A&M where that would be more true but still not true because he didn't come close to maxing out the awesome team Billy left him.Method Man said:
Where did I say that? We have a perfectly mediocre coach who has maxed out with other guys' recruits.
Could be worst. 12 months ago the assumption was that he couldn't make the NCAA without Rick Stansbury recruits and Stansbury also on the bench during games helping Kennedy coach.Method Man said:

I mean, let's be honest about what our fanbase will settle for -- Kennedy went 0-for-4 in NCAA Tournament appearances and when he finally got one in his 5th year, TexAgs wrote the equivalent of a "How do you like me now?" piece.
We hate Baylor and are duty bound to try and diminish any accomplishment they have. It is the same for any other school we don't like. However, fans of a school don't generally try to diminish and belittle the accomplishments of their team. They leave that to critics of that team.Method Man said:
Aggies bashed Drew for making elite 8 without facing a single digit seed. He blew those teams out and played a great Duke team well. Kennedy squeaked by UNI on a miracle and got embarrased by OU. This year's game against UNC was amazing. Can't say anything bad about it. We dominated them.
What post are you responding to? Must have crushed you when the team went to the sweet 16. You'll be even more upset when they're back in the tournament next seasonJMJLAW said:
Omg go away, please. Horrible analysis. Picking two years as your small size. Looking almost exclusively at a few tourney wins. How about his entire body of work? Wouldn't that be relevant? Don't answer because everyone knows you're a troll.
Yes it would and I am looking forward to it. Not that common for a coach to have back to back conference championships twice but no back to back NCAA tournament appearances_lefraud_ said:
Well that would be a first in his 20+ years as a head coach.
So your argument is that regular season wins and losses count more than the postseason and conference hardware?Double Diamond said:
The Kennedy lovers cry two sweet 16s boys! Forget all the rest and poor fundamentals because our boy has two sweet 16s!
Time stamp is arbitrary based on when Kennedy started coaching a roster staffed fully by his own players. Obviously year 5 and onward is the most pure way to evaluate how a coach will do long term, once no residual roster impact from the previous regime still existsMethod Man said:GE said:
