You've been very quiet. What are you hearing/thinking about the team? I know you're only posting on the Round Table so would appreciate any insight.

What about Mag?Pretty focused on preparing my broadcast of Princeton-Yale tonight,but will chime in since you asked:
The TRO filed on behalf of Williams is certainly meritorious at law and I would hope that it is granted before the Michigan game. I would grant it if I was sitting on it.
Gavin sat largely because of 2 fouls and not because of his defense,which has indeed been porous. Oskar is not playing more minutes than him going forward.
I am hopeful that Jay Young will be back next season and it is more than pure speculation.
Derek isn't going anywhere and will certainly be a rotation player next year.
Gavin will never be a portal kid. It is not who he is or who his family is.
I am dubious that Princeton will be on the schedule. Mitch has offered a 2-1 and I don't see it happening.
It is maybe like 25-75 that Cliff will be back.
UConn is getting NBA calls about Cam who should get a look there and is no. 71 on one pre-draft board.
I have no indication that Rutgers will be in the Jimmy V. from my inquiries,but there are still 2 spots open.
And you know that the reason they aren’t in the Jimmy V Classic is because of Pike himself?its criminal that Pike with Ace/Dylan still is a stubborn mule who refuses to take advantage by playing in Jimmie V

My man Nick-Tosan is on the Grizzlies. Check their roster. I never said an NBA scout told me anything. Cam is on 3 draft board projections. Dingle is making $500000 plus at St. John's and I never said he would be a sure fire NBAer. Steve wouldn't play Princeton until the Gazelle group put together a Princeton-Mississippi State package, which he had to agree to because there were no other neutral site options remaining. And you might want to check the spelling of acumen. You're puerile hatred is hysterical. Go have an ice cream on me at the Pru and repeat your prophesy that UConn and Cam stink.Please stop with the "One NBA scout told me they have player X on their draft board."
We've already been down that road with Tosan and Dingle.
Dubious about Princeton on the schedule?
Wasn't that the prevailing "insider" theme (HC Pike will never play Princeton) that turned out to be completely wrong?
I'll just wait for official announcements on the schedule.
This post was certainly meritorious. 😉Pretty focused on preparing my broadcast of Princeton-Yale tonight,but will chime in since you asked:

its called being smart. Lose 13 games you probably don't make the NCAA tournament. Why play a game that is almost a guaranteed loss.its criminal that Pike with Ace/Dylan still is a stubborn mule who refuses to take advantage by playing in Jimmie V
The mentality is scheduling a easy out of conference schedule to enhance chances of winning 20 games.With Bailey and Harper the focus should be marketing the team in high profile games /tournaments to enhance future recruiting.its criminal that Pike with Ace/Dylan still is a stubborn mule who refuses to take advantage by playing in Jimmie V

No. It just means Pike shouldnt be recruiting one and dones.if we are losing 13 games with ace and dylan then Pike is not the right guy for us
How many pieces of a 11-9 B1G type team are on the current roster?if we are losing 13 games with ace and dylan then Pike is not the right guy for us

How has Pike been successful?
How has Pike been successful?
Recruiting under the radar players
Building program with defense
Having success with upperclassmen
Ace and Dylan are going to come in to the program just like Gavin having never had to play defense. There is a huge learning curve.
The script for success has been be Top 25 on D and be good enough on offense to win. Now he is attempting to flip it.
cmon bac....we have both been thru years of hell.You are living in a climate that no longer exists
What do you define success 19-11?
Have to do better than bubbling every season
We need both $ and a guy willing to play 3rd fiddle to 2 18 year olds. Where are we getting all this $?Oh he does need a top 25 portal player but will he get one
Pretty active on TwitterYou've been very quiet. What are you hearing/thinking about the team? I know you're only posting on the Round Table so would appreciate any insight.
cmon bac....we have both been thru years of hell.
Sign me up for bubbling every year as you never know when you get lightning in the bottle.
ARe you really ready to give up on a guy if he can't take us to a perenial top 15 program?
Plenty of players are interested in playing with other exceptional playersWe need both $ and a guy willing to play 3rd fiddle to 2 18 year olds. Where are we getting all this $?
Duke and Kentucky dont have Simpson as their 1st team point guard and Hyatt as 1st string forward.Plenty of players are interested in playing with other exceptional players
If this was true then the dukes and kentuckys of the world would fail every year
Gavin needs to bulk up. Ace is a grown man and Dylan has a pretty solid frame as well. Inexperience isn’t really the biggest issue there in my mind and don’t think the latter two are comparable to Gavin.How has Pike been successful?

Our awful talent is being masked by our defense.
So then next year when we will have better talent and probably similar defense to what we’ve had for 7 years now, we should be good. You keep dwelling on age and ignoring that Dylan and Ace are likely top 5 picks and day 1 NBA starters.Duke and Kentucky dont have Simpson as their 1st team point guard and Hyatt as 1st string forward.

watch film of Dylan and Ace in HS or AAU....they don't play defense.So then next year when we will have better talent and probably similar defense to what we’ve had for 7 years now, we should be good.

Dylan’s defense has been praised by scouts. I don’t think a Ruppert Park exhibition should change that and Pike has proven he can get the most out of players on D. We should have a top 3-5 defense next year, especially if Jay Young comes back.watch film of Dylan and Ace in HS or AAU....they don't play defense.
They will play offense with their heart rates at bare minimum 10-15 BPM higher than they are playing offense now. That will be a huge adjustment. There is no way our defense will not skip a beat next year with them playing 35+ minutes. Not happening.
If you’re really trying to equate Gavin’s and Ace’s builds then you’re not having a serious conversation. Ace has an NBA body in high school. Gavin needs more time to fill out.Gavin is a grown man too....without muscles.
Eventually, yes.ARe you really ready to give up on a guy if he can't take us to a perenial top 15 program?
I have watched 2 of dylans hs games. He isnt expending energy on D. Doesnt mean pike wont get him to. Even if he does start playing defense he now is expending energy on both sides of the court. He has never had to do it.Dylan’s defense has been praised by scouts. I don’t think a Ruppert Park exhibition should change that and Pike has proven he can get the most out of players on D.

Genuine question in the same vein: would you fire McCaffery if you were Iowa's AD?Eventually, yes.
