Brad Scott for taking a position coach job at our rival.
Champ his entire tenure we were clowned for
Sparky for being a doofus
Spurrier (for how he left us)
Lou for the fight, and his homer takes on espn.

All pretty embarrassing in different ways. It's kind of hard to decide.

And look how MsSt faired with Lebby this season. That's what a Sean Elliot hire looks like.


and on the flip side ive seen the GT coach mentioned...and hell even Dabo is proof you can hire a coordinator


there is no logic to it. When VT hired Fuentes he was the next big thing. When IU hired Cignetti it was a meh hire. I don't think there is a good science to it, and in 4 years fans are going to revise history and call the AD an idiot or a genius.

I read this wrong. Him not sticking around would be a shock

frick that. If you fire him, you fire him and move completely on. no crumbs

Yes because the 4 posters on here just can't keep up lol


we oddly are getting more traffic here from our fans because our football teams sucks arse.

but still, the 8 people here can keep up. Hell we were doing good when we had old threads before Chicken came in and moved our threads around
quote:

I didn't watch the game, but I think it was 73-41 at one point. Did the second/third team players come in for the rest of the game to cause Presbyterian to go on a 20-8 run?


yeah we subbed Meech/Ellis out, and had Sparkman/Stute/Butler in and they did nothing. According to the play by play on espn. We went on like a 4 min scoring drought
quote:


Got by southern miss in ot. Team was down big and came back shows we have fight in us.


up big to down big, to a clutch win. Sharv/Ellis/Meechie shot right at 50%, scored 70 points and shots all the free throws.


The rest of the team..putrid. (stute did hit a huge shot late). Lots to clean up, but its good to have tape after a bad win...better than a good loss. Also hats off to So Miss, they had a few dudes themselves that werent missing tough shots
quote:

Okot may be better than Cardoso and Latson has Fulwileys abilities but plays under control. The 2 freshman are outstanding. Dawn has never had a group that any player can lead the team in scoring. If they can get their defense down this is another Final Four team.


I think this is the best backcourt that dawn has had here. I am not sold on our bigs being better yet. So Cal will be a great test for us.
quote:


On the bright side we won by 4 in OT

That’s good right?


…right?


I will take it, but uh we have to clean up turnovers and our post play. Watching the highlights again today, I think So Miss had some dudes who made some impressive shots. I won't be surprised to see them have a lot of success this year. Eli and Meech are fun as hell to watch



16-43 on 3's. 37%. Equivalent of 24-43 on 2's. It was ugly but I will take it.


The biggest issue to me is that Eli/Meechie/Sharv had 70 of our 83 points. Those guys shot right at 50%. The rest of the team was really poor. Ellis was our only bench guy to score. Stute has to be better offensively.
quote:


Gamecocks wbb blow out bowling green by 61.

This is the best offensive team Dawn has ever had.


I am pumping the brakes on saying that until after the So Cal matchup...but yeah, it appears to have been addition by subtraction potentially.

I still worry about that LSU game, and think we drop a few but I am really pleased with this team so far, considering the loss of Kitts and Watson.
quote:

Other than that obvious facemask where the dirty gump tried to cripple Nussmeier? Several questionable reviews as well.


yall kill me. LSU is always getting screwed in your minds.
quote:

Gotta have protection to be able to step up and into throws


I get it, it hasn't been great but the last two weeks it has been far better and he still isnt stepping into throws on clean pockets.


and lets be honest, not all the sacks are on the OL. Sellers is running into a lot of sacks too.

Hard disagree. Those UT jerseys are great.


Mizzou has the ugliest uniforms in the SEC by far
quote:


We living and dying by the three again this year, or is that just the landscape of college basketball in general? Made 14, but shot 32.


It's the Lamont Paris philosophy. One thing I did like that we did though besides that was posting up to non bigs. With Lamont's offense you have to have bigs that shoot the 3 ball well enough to pull bigs out of the lane. When we are able to do that as we were in 23', it allows our guards tons of space inside to drive or post up.

That said, 43% from 3 is solid. We would have to shoot 21-32 to match that or 65%. I know we won't always shoot that well, but the guys we have pulling the trigger this season have some really smooth/quick releases.
quote:

That's because our philosophy on OL is regression. I get he's been under Shula's tutelage for a year, but I'm not sold that LS is actually going to develop into what we hoped he would. He still can't deliver an accurate pass, throw the ball away, or make more than 2 reads. I get the OL has sucked this season, but a lot of our struggles are on LS too.


When sellers steps into it he deadly accurate, and throws a good ball with zip. Ive noticed lately that he has this bad habit of throwing falling away, or soley off his back foot. Every time he does that he airmails it and lollipops it.

That deep ball to harbor last week he stepped into and it was a laser. Several of the bad throws were thrown falling away

Same. I almost didn’t make this thread because sometimes I’ll get bitter about losing and stop updating.


I was guilty of this in the football thread....sorry :lol:
quote:


Pretty sure it was a “either you fire him or I’ll fire both of you” kind of thing.

If we finish 5-7, Shane will get another year.

If we finish 4-8, it’s a 50-50 thing and if Shane does keep his job, he’s on a a very short leash next year. He’ll need us to start hot and show significant improvement on offense, particularly with the OL.

If we finish 3-9, he’s gone.


yeah pretty much agree on this, and honestly it's more than fair
If the gamecocks finish 16th then the league is going to be really good. In our exhibition the other night we let NC State back in, and beat us on a buzzer beater but just cleaning up half the turnovers we had in the last 7 minutes makes that a 10 point Gamecock win over a Will wade ACC team.

I fully expect the gamecocks to shoot the ball far better, and defend a little better as well. Meechie back at the 1 is going to fix a lot of the issues from last year, and Eli Ellis at the 2 gives us two legit scoring threats. I think we give up some size down low but won't be as flat footed as we were last year with Pringle.

With a new AD I am cautiously optimistic about the OC hire...and possibly a DC hire. I think we at the worst won't hear the words "pro style"
