Tell me why things will get better?

[jeRseyguy1010]

I'm trying to find hope for this program right now in a very dark time. And I'm having a tough time pointing to one thing that makes me believe. So I'm here to put on the scarlet covered glasses.

Tell my why I should believe things will be better next year and beyond for this program?

No AD bring new coach!

Hit a home run in the portal!

Freshman are way better than advertised.

Pike makes significant changes to his staff!

Ways it could get better!

No AD bring new coach! -- no shot

Hit a home run in the portal!--wishful thinking

Freshman are way better than advertised.--wishful thinking

Pike makes significant changes to his staff!-- no shot

Pike isn’t an idiot and learned a hard lesson you need to bring in experience and talent via the portal. Just getting complimentary players and relying on freshmen to be the core no matter how good was in reality doomed from the get go. Starting 5 with an avg age of 18.5 vs teams with an average age of 22-23 is doomed.

Now if he thinks he will develop a core over multiple years we are doomed.

We have a chance to finish 11th out of an 18 team B1G. If you think this qualifies as a very dark time, you haven't been following this program for very long. Disappointing year yes, very dark time, no.

Starts with bringing Lathan and Grant and Dorsch back. Then bring the freshman along and hope Mark and Nwuil can be impactful as freshman.
Must then bring in 2-3 guards and wings that are 2 way players that can dribble drive , shoot , rebound and score and play defense without letting a man go right by them.
Then go get a rim protector even if not a huge offensive skill set. If he only catches lobs that is fine but he better block shots and hit the offense and defensive glass hard. He alters shots as much as blocks shots and having him there makes the opposing guard not think they can just waltz in for a layup.
Williard did it at Maryland getting 3 two way guards / wings all from lower level schools like Belmont , South Florida and forgot the third school but not a big one.
Williard stepped in shit and Pike has to step in shit.

I agree but the OP wanted hope and wishful thinking! 🤷‍♂️

Yes I’m with you.
Nearly everyone that’s followed RU sports believed this was our once in a generation opportunity at a special season.

We were supposed to be in the conversation for the top 4 of the conference right now . Not the bottom 4.

It’s depressing because the stars aligned for us for a talent perspective and it was completely utterly undeniably a disaster that was un-enjoyable. In fact there were very very few even short lived enjoyable moments of this season.

Media putting pressure on him? That's all I got, honestly. Cuz it ain't coming from the boss he doesn't have.

What media ? Politi?
No one really covers this team full time.
