  1. I'm going to lock this now that Andre Allen has been released and we've moved on to arguing about unrelated topics.

  3. For the record, I’m on record as saying next season if we had Oats and this recruiting class we’d be lucky if we received votes in the pre-season top 25. I’m on record as saying next season there would be a drop off compared to this season but that drop off would be we’d still be right there to win the MAC and make the big dance. And yes the whole Gonzaga of the East talk I bought into with the understanding that it wasn’t going to happen overnight and in 4 years. Gonzaga is at the point where they are in recruiting battles with Duke and Kentucky for players. We weren’t there yet. Alabama right now as crappy as they have been is in recruiting battles with top schools. See Trendon Watford. That’s the whole point we are making...to compete in the SEC you have to raise the talent level of your team.

  4. So a month ago we're talking about being legit contenders, and the best recruits we've ever had. Now these guys, who were going to help solidify our status as perennial contenders (and maybe bring us to the next level!) are sitting the bench at a school that didn't make the tournament. Yea, probably some sour grapes there from us.

  5. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Personally I hope we play Xavier, Florida, UCONN and Miami. I know in that tournament we can only at best get 3 of those 4 but I believe we can schedule the odd team out as part of non conference schedule.

  6. To be fair TT has made almost every player look bad. The best player against TT was Perkins in the tournament. That is something. I still don’t think Perkins has quite enough to play In the NBA but he might be really really good in Europe. Also great job by Perkins and CJ participating in the Final Four event. That’s good publicity for them and the school.

  7. 1. Considering what others have written, it seems clear that "those players" means "those players that I spoke with" (and not necessarily a team meeting with all the players). 2. It is a week late. This is 100% a CYA thing. Whether he had to be convinced to do this -- who knows. 3. How else is Alnutt supposed to respond to a tweet like that? He has to be appreciative in public, of course. It is part of the job. I hope this ends the discussion about Oats and we can move on. For me, I liked the guy. I thought he was a breath of fresh air. A straight shooter. He seemed humble...even a bit of an "aw shucks" sort of guy at times. But this past week has shown me he was more of a wolf in sheep's clothing. I guess part of it had to be an act, so the fact I didn't really catch it was me being naive. Even if Oats left and did it the right way, I probably would still follow him on Twitter and root for him to be successful. But regardless of how many retweet his week-late message or say "thanks, coach" in a tweet, he's really just burned his bridge (and BH poured some more gas on it). So...good riddance. And, of course, an "unfollow" on Twitter. Go Bulls...next coach in.

  8. Because it's UB's lot in life, to be a stepping stone program. And as long as we're all being honest about it that's fine. But Oats was really spinning yarns about staying until that "dream job" opened up. And I assumed "dream job" meant a blue blood program or UW or Marquette, someplace near his home. And even then, I understand. You don't sneeze at $2.4MM/yr and the chance to run a P5 program. But is ghosting the school, fans and players the way to go about it? Like ButlerAlumDad said, you can leave with class or you can leave like you are escaping a hostage situation. I thought better of him.

  9. Lol. I want whatever gets us in the tourney every year. Especially after our 5 seniors are gone. Next year we will take a step back, how big a step depends on the talent we have coming in and how they all gel with each other.
