I wish I had bookmarked some of the threads from before the season where a select few of us were saying we were going to suck this year again b/c we have no true PG. I remember getting bashed for those statements with peoples saying Madden would be able to handle it.

While Madden is improved, dude had zero BBall IQ and you can't have that at PG

---

People are not wanting a "true PG", even if that is what they call it, they are wanting a guard who can get to the basket and finish, a guard who can create their own shot.

When the ball swings around, there a ample opportunities to dribble inside, which is why we need at least two slashing guard types, not just a PG and a couple spot shooters.

PG or regular G....just someone who will drive to the hole and draw a foul or dish to Portis or Moses

I don't know if everyone is scared to do it or what, but we would be 5-2 in SEC play right now with anyone who could do that and draw fouls late in games and connect on a few and 1's.

Just my opinion.

Gulley has done that, at times.

Scott is capable, but it is a wasted possession, he either misses the lay up, or is fouled and misses the FTs.

Madden has only gotten one foul call when going to the rim in SEC play, every other call has been a blocked shot even with the defender crashing into his body sending him to the ground. Its to the point its comical, guard drives to the basket goes up is hit midair lands out of bounds, blocked shot is the call.

Other end of the court, guard drives to the basket defender straight up and down, guard initiates contact and gets the foul call.

And again, we're basically pinning all our hopes next year on Beard being a stud. Who knows how good he'll be in year 1, or ever for that matter. If he flops, or is only marginally better than our other PG's I guarantee you we continue down this road of mediocrity and maybe making the NIT in a good year.

True, and who was the last good, true point guard we've had? Fortson? Maybe, and he could at least drive the lane, but his overall game was still lacking.

It's just not a winning style of basketball anymore with the games being called so strictly now. We need a basketball coach good enough with X's and O's to bring a legit half court offense.

---

He runs a legit half court offense.

You will not find many offenses more legit in basketball.

Set plays is not an offense, they are plays.

He can't teach it worth a damn. You can tell when we have to set up in the half court we aren't comfortable. Screens are bad, movement is slow and bad passes are WAY too common.

Fortson was a ballhog and his shot was arse. Not a true point guard.

Same can be said for BJ.
Did Mike recruit these players, NO

Let MA get his players in here and rid ourselves of Failphrey's retards.

I'm still onboard with MA. I see progress. I think he can duplicate his success at Mizzou at the least here. We haven't been relevant in 20years. I'm willing to give him a pass until he's got four of his classes on campus. If after year four it's still a shitshow, hasta la vista mf'er.

If he doesn't win at least 1 road game this year I want him gone by default

We should go to the "embarrassing the university" clause and be free of his buyout. This streak is pitiful

Pel wasn't fired after going 2-14 in SEC play.

Heath got 5 years, Pel got 4, Mike will get 4 years at least.

Next year will be the first time since 2005-2006 the bulk of the contributors are upper classmen.
