re: Tide Hoops | Recruiting

Sure. And in 98% of games Max Scharnowski played in we won. Maybe he was the best player on the team.

You can pick random stuff from MO’s limited minutes and uncontested threes.

I liked the guy but Jesus Christ yall are glazing him.

I think you have to look at it more in totality.

The best guy we’re getting in Bethea. The best guy we’re losing is Jarin. That’s a tough trade, but Bethea is more of a need and has more upside.

Bol Bowen or Mo? Again, Bol Bowen has more upside. Longer, better shooter. Presumably won’t come back asking for more money every other Tuesday. They were in the same class and ranked almost the same out of high school and again now in the portal.


And then Naas or Williamson. It was worth taking a flyer on Naas but clearly something wasn’t clicking so if Williamson does literally anything that’s a net positive.


Guys are going to leave. I was bummed about Mo. I’m even more bummed about Jarin. But I’m extremely excited about the guys we’re bringing in.

I think most of this is fair, but this isn't looking at it in true totality. We have to not only get better, but significantly so through the portal considering what we lost the moment the season ended. I really like both the Bethea and Bol Bowen additions, but we're going to need a lot more considering those guys are really replacing Sears's and Nelson's (Not just Mo and Jarin) production until more additions are made.

This is true. In looking at the roster, if Reid and Philon stay we have 12 guys on the roster that are all going to expect to play.

I assume one of the freshmen will play very sparingly. Wrightsell still a huge question mark coming off an achilles. That still 10 deep of minutes you have to find for all of them. I don’t know how much more portal big game hunting we’re doing if everyone is coming back.

Do you think you know more basketball than Nate Oats? Because he started Jarin in about half the games and played him more minutes. So I don’t have to name 2 things he does better. I’ll let the guy making millions of dollars a year who is our best coach ever be the judge. And he already was.

was fully prepared to just ignore such a silly claim as jarin being a bigger loss than mo as from a team and individual perspective it was quite objectively not even a debate worth having, but to then try and use oats's salary and the fact he tried starting him for a bit on the perimeter as a way to justify it is borderline criminal behavior. i mean its fine that youll miss jarin alot and all but dude, oats isnt on your side on this one and no level of jarin glazing will change that. lol

Those %’s are misleading for Mo. It was on 26 shots for the season, less than 1 per game, and they were essentially set shots because he was usually dared to shoot. No one with a lick of sense thinks Mo is a 40% 3pt shooter.

I loved Mo, but acting like he is a 40% 3pt shooter based on last year’s performance is fools gold. Mo is tough, gritty, underrated even offensively gifted around the basket, etc., but considering him to be a 3pt weapon at this point is an illusion.

I hope he won’t but I think he will

He must’ve forgotten Mo won us the game against Grand Canyon. He also saved our butts in the tournament his year hitting two threes to put the game out of reach against st Mary’s. I don’t get why some people are downplaying Mo D to hype up Jarin. It’s honestly no comparison. As mistaken said if we have Mo D in instead of Jarin against Tennessee we easily make another final four. That non box out was a killer.

Feel like Reid probably back at this juncture because he has a good chance of playing 20mpg given attrition with the swing forward types.

Has anyone heard anything about candidates after Coach Pannone’s departure?
