From what I've heard from many of the girls and people associated with the team is that they love Petersen.

Wonder if this is a case of girls thinking they can play at bigger places. Will be interesting to see where she goes. Petersen declining to comment is interesting to me.

Would any of y'all ever give Shawn Forrest a chance? From what I've heard the players originally wanted him after Jones left. I know he doesn't have head coaching experience but the core of this team respects him and he's a great recruiter who knows the area very well. He knows what this team is good at and he knows the players very well. I was just wondering if any of y'all would do this? I understand the concern with him not being a head coach. Just an idea.

That would make sense. Larkin has about one more year left and will head to the league. That would allow Rodriguez to sit out and be the man after Larkin. Smart move.

Interesting note on sports illustrated, Angel Rodrigues has elected to transfer from K-State.

Not saying anything negative towards PJ. But some players put up a good front around the community but behind closed doors are someone completely different.

My problem with this team doesn't start with the coaches. Yes, they haven't been successful and tend to let us down, but we have 2 former head coaches on staff who have coached over 400 basketball games each. I think the problem with this team is the things that cant be coached, such as heart, effort, and laziness. How many times do you see our players laying out on the court for loose balls? How many times have you seen anyone besides Franklin take a charge? Not very many. You don't see any players out there going 100% from the start to the finish. That just hurts me to see guys with such athletic ability not using everything they can. When you have god given athleticism, use it. If you ever go watch the women's team you will see the biggest display of hustle and heart. Those girls sacrifice their bodies laying out for balls and taking charges, they show how bad they want to win, and have been about 1 play away in 8 different games from being about 12-2. The most impressive thing about this girls team is the fact that they have solid underclassmen to build around, with two transfers who could potentially be starting right now. I personally cant wait to see this team come tourney time, and next year, the future is bright for these ladies. Maybe all the hype was centered around the wrong gender....
