What I'm Hearing

There's no sense of urgency with Eddie. Does he know HCs are out recruiting today? Is he? Or is he shopping for another sharp suit for game day?
News alert! There are only one scholarship to give for next year and none for next year if all players remain in place. I am not sure how you know he is not recruiting ,when during the losing streak, we get commitments back to back weeks. That would be inconsistent with your post.
As an aside, I think the staff is ready to go into next year with the 12 guys they already have. Next year , no seniors, and team stays intact for 2 years , then offer 4 the following years.

Yup. Nothing like making connections, meeting kids early, networking and doing all the stuff that helps land kids later. Not important.

Understand the post! Not Cal, not Coach K, not Larry could win with this roster. Glad we have made that clearer for you

So you're putting Jordan in that category? We would play better and have better players with them at rulers so your point is moot.

Stupid argument
 
If

Even someone like you, when your half brain is not shouting from the mountain tops, Eddie has to go, must have the other half of your brain, should be able to understand Calipari, Coach K and Larry Brown could not do better with this roster!!
Being a HC isn't just game day. It's the management of the program and the use of scholarships, Those coaches wouldn't have signed 2 kids like Ryan Johnson and Diallo who had to sit out at a time when the program needed kids on the floor. And then Ryan flees to a JuCo anways. Or wasted time on Kejuan Johnson. Or offered Goode based on a couple of practices. Or sat on an empty scholarship when he already was down a scholarship kid because he had a transfer sitting out. The roster is short 3 available bodies because of Eddie's decisions and 3 bodies because of injuries. How hard is that for people to understand?
 
You stated they would not do betterr. They would. These coaches would coach circles around Eddie. Don't move the goalposts on your statement. Eddie is not the guy. He won't be next year either, even with a full roster.
An axiom as old as hoops, good and great players win , not coaches. If Roy Williams was not at Carolina, he would probably have a less than 500 record. He needs 5 Michael Jordan's to win this year, because his 10 McDonald's All -Americans are not enough.
 
why do the Eddie supporters continue to ignore that the roster issues this year are largely in part to 3 players transferring out and using a scholarship on Goode and then using one on a transfer that sits out.

Compared to Roy Williams, Jordan is Fred Hill Jr.

Don't forget the verbal commitment from Austin Burnette!

wrong...for ONE they would have managed the roster...they wouldn't take two guys who bolted before they played a minute, they wouldn't recruit Goode. They would have recruited better talent...so now don't bring up their names at all

gamewise yes they would have done better...please stop throwing your hands up in the air...see you don't have to lose by 35 to Nebby or 50 Purdue, you can lose games by 15-20
 
Remember that shellacking we took last year from Seton Hall? With a full roster!! Good times.

Lost by 30 with two seniors Mack and Jack.

Lost by 61 with a full roster 2 years ago. That is hard to do. Scored 31 points that day, also difficult to do.
 
Didn't we have a Camry in Waters? Then we bought that Jaguar and after the frist accident, we noticed it was really a painted over Checker cab! And we keep looking for that Beamer with the cheap price tag -- only to discover it had transmission problems. But wait! A new garage solves all our problems.

Yeah, I long for that Camry. Maybe we can get another one...dress it up with spinners, titanium grill, an airfoil with a racing stripe.

You don't know that or shit about next year. You cannot figure out why our current roster cannot win. Your opinion is something only you negative buddies can embrace. Try just once to support the program , the mess we have been for over 20 years, the 10 years straight of losing records., without your diatribe about Eddie. Look around the country at programs around the country that have lost just one player!

You EJ supporters are really something.

So Carolina was beating Number 10. Miami by 38 in the second half yesterday . Things happen.

It is a Rutgers supporter first. Eddie does not deserve the stupid criticism from some of the so called supporters of the program for what happened this year . If he doesn't cut it next year , you move on. But don't blow next year and set us back another 4 years.

And your ignoring every ounce of evidence from Eddie's first three years here.

Your the stupid one that cannot or refuses to comprehend!! Get someone to interpret for you!!
 
Defending a 61 point loss. Now I have seen it all
No one is defending it. I can explain it. But you cannot figure it out. So keep trying , maybe a smart thought will come into your head.

Please explain how a full roster loses by 61 point and scores 31. It's a team that had Judge Jack Mack Seagers Moore and Etou. Im curious

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=400545735

This box score is a beauty. We were losing 28-14 with 8 mins left in the first half. Louisville went on a 30-2 run to close things out. That's right, we were down 42 at half time.

There should be no surprise we are where we are
