Skipping A Portal Big Looks Real Bad Now

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

They had the NIL to get one but decided to placate Lathan who didn’t want any competition. A bunch of people justified it saying it wasn’t worth overpaying for a 8 ppg / 8 rpg type that played 20-25 minutes.

Not getting a portal big is going down as the single worst offseason decision. Lower your expectations now to making the tournament. If this continues they won’t get out of the first weekend when many including myself had them pegged for a Sweet Sixteen appearance.

Lathan is going to feel a lot of heat if this season goes south quickly.

Pike should have told Lathan to shove it and if he left, so be it.

NCAAs? If they play like today, they will be lucky to have a winning season.

Crazy. Weir on Kennesaw was better than what we had - by a bunch

 

[MCKnight2004]

this 100 percent. A serviceable 5th year role playing big is much needed as we can see. He’d.be playing 20 min right now. Lathan doesn’t rebound or play a lick of defense. Maybe by Junior year

 

[FIJI'83]

Pike MUST convince the team that it MUST rebound by committee.

Looks bad “now”?

Looks bad “now”?

It was bad in the offseason but so many were in denial and just made excuses which led to the fictional legend of Emmanuel Ogbole once practices started again to double down on it was the right call.
