Our fanbase is dumb. They are in a bubble where whomever is in charge knows what they are doing when we have been one of the laziest programs the last decade. You find the players at the lower level producing and call them up. Davis is a good pickup so we have depth and he can steal games when he is hot and somebody starting is struggling. The point of depth is reduce the margin of error of relying on few players. We need more quality players and stop looking at stars. I will say Wagner could have a Dion Waiters year 2 bounce wherever he goes. The biggest jumps in players come from Freshman to Sophomores. Also while we had Waiters sophomore jump we had a Senior and Junior guard to go with him. I wouldn’t go hard after Wagner I will just I think he will be a better player next year wherever he goes. Our program needs to find Brandon Triche and CJ Fairs at the lower levels. Those are the type of players that will help us. Stop obsessing with HS stars. We need guards who can play D and score some points. Instead we have had high usage SGs playing PG. I only want studs playing more than 32 mpg. Syracuse fans are have become stupid because Boeheim told them you only need starters as they don’t get tired. If we had Melo sure. Not what we have been throwing out there. Also sorry but Syracuse isn’t better than Texas the last decade. I get they have sucked in the tournament but again we haven’t played 1 conference basketball game as a ranked team the last decade. Not 1 game. We are a program that has been a plucky underdog team when we make the tournament that can do damage. Regular season matters some. I agree Texas isn’t two tiers better than us but it’s a better job than Syracuse. Texas is a tough one. They’ve been better than us the last few years because they’ve been in the tournament every year. But the only major thing they’ve ever really done(I don’t count the 1940s when black kids weren’t allowed to play) is make one final four in 2003 where they lost to us. They just never really make a run or do anything big. We have better history. Have accomplished more but Texas is a better job. Texas in this NIL era has a lot of potential. They have an awful coach now because Chris Beard had the domestic violence incident. Texas actually did the right thing Firing him but he would have done well there. Rodney Terry isn’t a good coach.

I really thought they might finally have their time when they got Shaka Smart. But since it didn’t happen, I’m starting to have my doubts. We’ll see though, and maybe Smart would’ve done well there in the NIL era.

Another option formally eliminated. This is purely a they paid a bunch for him and we either didn’t want to match or couldn’t match.

But don’t worry we got his losing head coach with DMV ties that duplicate Straugn’s connections. Lmao this is a shit show.

This is definitely an age thing, but I find these OV photoshoots so weird.
