re: At this point give me Napier

I'm not anti Napier, necessarily, but he's probably 6th on my list. And, like I said, I don't understand why Napier or die people feel the concerns with him are minimized

I'm not Napier or die by any means, but he's at the top of my list. I would currently rank them as:

1) Napier: high risk, high reward. I like what I see. Unproven but no big negatives either. If he turns out to be a home run, we are set for a real long time. Just my nature to follow my gut and take a chance here.

2) Aranda: safe and reliable with great potential for upside. No big negatives either, unless you want to believe the rant myth that he hates to recruit. Remember, if we had had a crystal ball after 2019 and knew that O was going to be out in 2021, we would not have let Aranda go to Baylor.

3) Riley: Super expensive, not my favorite personality, a bit of a whiner, and his lack of defensive success is a real concern. No excuses. If he takes defense seriously and can't manage to fix it, it's a problem. Again, if we had a crystal ball in 2019 that O would be out, would we have wanted the coach we managed to embarrass more than any other that year? Still, I would be happy with him.

Many if not most will think I'm a complete idiot. That's why we're here.
