Just give me something positive to say about hoops and I will. I was quick to give KA props about this time last year. I gave him props for keeping the prior commits on board. I liked what he had to say last year about working on defense. In fact, go back an look at some of the first few games last year. I started threads and maybe 1 or 2 people jumped in. I was excited about what I saw. Then UMKC happened. I gave props for the way it sounds like the kids are working.

You don't like to hear anything negative about the basketball and that's cool. I'm just gonna call it like I see it. If it's good, I'll say so much. If it's bad, I'll say so much. "Rebuilds" as an excuse is bullshite and you know it. "Rebuilds" do not necessarily equate to 8 wins. "Rebuilds" do not necessarily mean that your team has to lose its 2 best players. "Rebuilds" does not necessarily mean that you can't recruit talented players.

Basketball, more than any other sport, is capable of being "rebuilt" in a shorter period of time due to the fewer number of players needed to do it. Having said that, I have said, and still think, that short of a collapse worse than last year, KA should get at least a 3rd year to show signs of life.

If you're looking for nothing but sunshine pumping, it's not gonna come from me. I'll be the first to admit that.
