re: Rest of season outlook for men’s b-ball

it’s just an elaborate excuse hoax which is basically saying the players aren’t good enough and MM is actually good. You can spend all the NIL you want but he’s not going to win. That talking point is fan fodder for excuse makers.

Oh I totally agree , I’m just saying the as far as I’m hearing the staff thinks they are getting next year

Well we already lost the best in state recruit in probably 5-6 years so I guess the money will just be wasted on some more highly ranked recruits that he can’t win with

I really don't think that's the case Alt, IMHO I think the decision has already been made. Again, I want to emphasize that this is not a statement or opinion of agreement or disapproval of that decision - the last 4-5 games don't matter.
We're gonna run it back one at least more time, they are going to commit more NIL $ and see if that moves the needle any. And whether any of us like it or not I'm pretty sure that's what's going to happen.

or do we waste another year and continue to get further and further behind the rest if the league ?
This doesn’t mean anything.
With NIL and the portal, this could be an entire different team next year it just costs money

Oh it means a whole lot as long as the same guy is in charge , money won’t mean much

Eye test alone when we plays tells me we’re outmatched at basically every position. Yeah you can blame him for not getting top tier players but that’s what I’m meaning
If McMahon had Houston’s roster at LSU, they wouldn’t be a 2 win SEC team no matter how bad the coach is.

Again, didn't say I agree with the approach, or more specifically I'm not saying I agree that's the issue....I'm just saying I'm pretty sure that's going to be the company line.

If we're going to buy an NBA roster to make CoachMc serviceable in the SEC, we might as well try to get a better coach.

I’ve said numerous times on here and I truly believe the talent is not as bad as it seems . But if people truly believe we are “ outmatched “ well we are in year 3 and that falls on 1 person

I will say, I don't know. I think CoachMc has run his course, but I don't trust the AD to not give an extra year "just cuz". We've done it before so it's not unprecedented to delay the inevitable.

Oh, I don't have any insider info, I don't "know" either, just reading the tea leaves.
The more I think about it the more I think that Mascona thing was a contrived salvo to rationalize another year.
I mean Mascona could GAF about basketball but all of a sudden he's compelled to speak on it and oh by the way his old Catholic acquaintance is AD and Matt conveniently seems to have some NIL info that real or imagined seems to have been provided to him with purpose.
Again, I have no insider info and I absolutely could be wrong, but ...I don't think I am. CMM will be coaching next year no matter how the last 6 games go.....IMHO.

Right so a class who’s 2-10, that ranked 14th nationally and 5th in the SEC can become a top 10 class nationally and go 6-12 next season. Money well spent lol.

That depends on whether McCoach has determined truly who the best players are. If Sears plays anymore basketball at LSU, I don't see how we can win another game against anyone. 3 of our best players are freshmen. Play them....if nothing else maybe they will learn something to make them better in the future.

Sears just doesn’t need to be on the ball so much. He definately should be playing

It’s funny because a while back me and some of the typical MBB posters talked about this. It might seem like Houston has had better rosters because of the runs they’ve made, but that hasn’t always been necessarily true.
Houston has not had better rosters than us rankings wise. Sampson has done for more with much less. At the start of Houston’s consistent NCAAT appearances he didn’t have that great of a roster recruiting rankings wise. He is simply just 1000x the coach McMahon is.
