I don’t disagree with you about his recruiting.

But we had an “elite” team back in the McGuire days for like 4 seasons

It was longer than that but still proves we can have one. Frank is a good game day coach but needs the jimmys and joes.

Its taken Frank all this time to finally have a full roster. They will do nothing but improve..Bryant will be a key returnee..

So if we finally have a full roster why is one player returning a key to our success.?

Try adding a couple of more. Alex English, Greatest player we have ever had, was here to 76. So over half a decade which proved an elite program can be had here just like Dawn has shown.

In that last season we went 18-9
We had a nice run and under that won the ACC twice
Then we were independent
Far from ELITE. But a nice run.
Unless you count those 11 win seasons in football as an elite program too. (Ya know the one where we have no championships to show for it?)

Next game tomorrow against the fighting Double G’s live from Cancun.
I dont see a line yet. They’ll most likely be favored
Winner takes on winner of West Virginia/Northern Iowa.
Loser plays the loser of that game

Don’t think we’ll we a Frank Huggy matchup

You weren't around so you have no idea the significance of The real Franks team to our state. What he had here allowed Gamecock fans to stand up amoung the " best of the best" and everyone knows we belong. The whole " us leaving the acc" started because our Basketball program was a major threat to unc and the hierarchy of the acc. Columbia shut down the bight of the games. It was us against the nation. I hope SCRooster reads this and adds his input. He knows exactly what I'm talking about. You youngsters have no idea because you've never been part of what I'm talking about.

Ahhh gotcha

Well, game tonight, against the Shockers live from Cancun
2.5 point dogs in this one

Don’t know much about the shockers, they’ve played basically the same kinda schedule as we did, but haven’t lost.
They’re predicted to finish 3rd in the AAC this year which is always a good conference (will be losing an elite program to the Big East next year)

We have talent on this team. This is really unacceptable. I just don't get it.

So who’s the blame on then?

I don’t see as much talent as you do for the record

It is absolutely awful
AJ Lawson needs to show up in a game like that
He can’t just go missing

Frank in this case.

He has failed to capitalize on that final four run. He ran off Hasse because he “didn’t fit the system” but brought in Henry, who may be the worst big I’ve ever seen.

As for player development , I haven’t seen much of it. Kotsar is soft, and looks like he has regressed since the end of his freshmen year.

Our offense is awful, as is our ft shooting, but that’s nothing new. We jack way too many threes, especially since we aren’t hitting them

Lastly, Franks system may have run its course with modern officiating. We rack up the fouls.

There is a lot of athleticism on this team so I’m guessing we make a run and everyone loves frank so he is allowed to stay, but he is consistently out coached in game (tonight was a great example) .

We will get better, but I swear, I don’t think Frank coaches offense whatsoever. Our guys stand around and run deep into the shot clock, only to get a bad shot.

I thought we had a good shot to win 20 this year, but I feel like I was sorely mistaken.

I don’t think he does either, at least he doesn’t do it well. Early season / preseason he talks about how they will install defense later. This must mean they do some offensive work.

I was a little optimistic this season because in the pro am our guys put up numbers. I know the defense is lacking, but it shows they can make plays and hit shots. We saw none of that tonight. With the rules being the way they are, at least drive the ball and draw contact

I personally think the most talented player on the team is Seventh Woods
We’ll see how that goes next year
