    Last time we averaged 4K a game was the 2011-2012 season.  That was JJ's last season and Tony Mitchell's first.  Things really seemed like we were on a great trajectory at the time (especially with the two NCAA appearances in the previous handful of years too), but even so it's kind of crazy to me that some of our recent squads haven't had better figures.

    I agree to a point but also we have two things going against us. Benford ruined a “generation” of fans (plus the AD demonstrated they didn’t care either by keeping him on). And although Mac and Hodge win, it’s harder to attract the modern basketball fan when an exciting game nets 68 points when the Mavs score 140. It’s effective basketball but it ain’t sexy.

    Trivia question: Since Chandler Morris has been in college, his father has coached at Auburn, South Florida, and Clemson. Which of these schools did Chandler Morris attend while his father coached there?

    Very good point. However all those schools were far from his home base. Additionally, TxSt lost its starter and proposed transfer replacement. They are in the market and playing for daddy has to be something he would consider to close out his career.

  3. I mean, I don’t expect them to be first on every player, but it seems like we could have beaten east and west coast teams to the punch. How is Pitt identifying a rising star in Texas before we are? It would be more inexcusable if it was a DFW player (which we have seen happen as well). With all his faults, I feel like Seth and his staff were pretty good at identifying talent early, although admittedly once the big guys offered we could rarely hold on.

    Q:  Know why men are poor carpenters?

    A:  They think this is six inches. 

    I tell the same joke from the opposite perspective:

    Q: know why women have such poor depth perception?

    A: because they have been told this  —— is six inches their whole lives.

    Isheem had his best season with Coach Caponi as his postion coach. I am sure Caponi knows his character and if he can trust him better than anyone.

    Forgive me if I don’t trust Craponi’s judgment. He has not yet earned our trust based on his decision making and performance to date.
