No, again look at what they have done. You have to do more than make the NCAAT one time in 14 years.

And they still made a final four before us this millennium. Their recruiting was equal to ours last year so either SCar is rebuilding or Arkansas is now equal to a team that hadn't made the tournament in 14 years in the eyes of recruits.


Also Arkansas has made the tournament twice since 2008. I'd be careful talking shite about SCar.

So did Florida Gulf Coast, what's your point?

Oh btw, SC's recruiting class for 2018 is ranked 105th in the nation and dead last in the SEC. Oops.

You're proving it. Teams like Florida Gulf Coast and SCar can win more than one game in the tournament but we have a bunch of people here that are fine and dandy winning one game and being done every other year. Again, two tournament appearances since 08. Bucknell has 3. We are Bucknell and our fans are fine with it.

ESPN doesn't even have them as having signed anybody yet so that's not a surprise. Nice try, though.

Still a more recent final four than us.

Correct, like I said earlier and will repeat for you again, I'd rather make the NCAAT yearly/regularly than make some miracle run and go right back to irrelevancy like South Carolina.

We use 247 on this board, have for many years, and yes they have a signed player. Nice try though.

Leave it to UH to talk shite about a 1 person recruiting class in the dead middle of the season.

Still a more recent final four than us.

So you're fine with being Bucknell. We've established that.

You do realize the 2018 class is pretty much over right? Dead middle of the season doesn't mean anything.

It's not over, which is the point.

Still a more recent final four than us.

What about saying that the recruiting class isn't over is spinning anything? It's a stated fact.

Can't wait for 5 more mediocre seasons competing to stay even with Bucknell.

the idea being you have to reestablish that as the standard. we weren't in a good place when mike took over.

so yeah it's been 7 years and I wish he would do more in post season but realistically he's doing what we fired pelphrey for not doing.


we need to establish ourselves all over again as we went 20 years of being irrelevant.

Nothing is being established other than the fact that we're just another SEC team in an improved league. Oh we're gonna make the tournament? Great! So is about 7 other teams in this league. We still have great recruiting ground, one of the best home court advantages in the nation, and a shite ton of money and resources. I'm extremely confident we could drop Mike and immediately attract a top coach. The victim complex that has fallen over this program is sickening. There are programs that have been dead for decades that have made better hires and injected life into their teams multiple times just during Mike's tenure here. We're going to get left in the dust by this conference if we don't start looking for more improvement rather than being satisfied with this stagnation. Mike has a ceiling. 15 years as a coach and he's made the sweet sixteen twice and hasn't done so since Missouri in 2009. This isn't football. You can turn a basketball program around in 2-3 recruiting classes. Mike's a good coach that will get you to the tournament about half the time, but that's it. If you want more, he's not the guy. I want more and I'm not sorry.
