Now Jake is saying Leffew is someone to watch. Hmm.

Our ceiling is looking like the bubble The elites in our fanbase are okay with that. We havenât been ranked 1 week in 5 years now. Lol itâs been since 2014 that we played a conference game as a ranked team. Itâs incredible what has happened to our program but donât say Kadaryâs name or bring up the nepo babies or Girard being 15 pounds heavier at Syracuse.

We really need this guy to play to his full potential because itâs blatantly obvious the money just ainât there to land anyone better. Hoping for the best, wish him well, not too optimistic.

I need to find a game and watch him play.
Highlights are highlights.
His stats certainly look good and heâs a 5th year guy which helps. Cautiously optimistic at this point. Lower level of competition for sure, but 17-4-4 and 37% 3 point shooting are certainly nice numbers.

Seems important to me that the fanbase know after we haven't gone to the tourney in 3 years, haven't been ranked for 5 years, haven't been a top 7 seed in 10 years....that we are doing literally everything in their power to fix that next year, but I guess that's an unreasonable take. Hopefully the dome doesn't start looking like the YUM Center.

Yeah...if it's the money....then I get it, we're doing the best we can. But we were sold the story last year the whole "We had the $$ to pay Jesse and we felt we could spread it out more (aka fucking BENNY WILLIAMS among others)" and it was prob the reason we didnt make the tourney. So if a guy from a 13-19 MAAC team with a negative DBPM is picked over Mack. I'd like to be clear on the thought process before hammering it. If it's a) We think Leffew is the best PG available, better than Mack. Cool. Own it. b) We don't have the $ to get Mack. Understood. We need to set our expectations c) We think Leffew is the best one year option in order to get Jackson and Kiyan because Jackson wants clear path to start at PG. I have a problem with that. And right now through guys that get intel from the staff, it's clearly being portrayed as C.

Hopefully the dome doesn't start looking like the YUM Center. Even the novelty of the Dome renovation won't last through a whole season if we trending downwards. This next season is absolutely critical.

Even the novelty of the Dome renovation won't last through a whole season if we trending downwards.  This next season is absolutely critical.  I donât really see us getting worse. I mean we got better last year than we had been the previous couple years. There is talent on the roster. Itâs way better than the Chipwich season, for example. I think itâs almost a lock we will at least be decent. However continued mediocre irrelevance in the big picture will continue to take a toll IMO. We need to make the dance and crack the top 25 at some point. Period.

âAll i know is Tristan Newton was a ZERO star recruit coming out of high school. Let that marinate.
Sometimes a change of scenery does wonders for players. Hoping that is the case here.â
FWIW this is the kind of same thing people would say about Wes Johnson. Theyâd laud Boeheims recruiting ability for bringing in a one star player and turning him into a lottery pickâŠexcept when we recruited him he was basically the equivalent of a five star hs aa type.
Same thing with NewtonâŠhe already proved himself at ECU.

The patience has run thin and those still defending are showing what they are. We havenât been relevant in college hoops and the arrogance from some of our fans is incredible. Because they bye this shit they are sold. I am not expecting back to back NCs or even final four. Just have a regular season with less than 10 losses and give the students some important games. I donât blame Red. This guard though just screams we are getting a 1 year plug because we want HS PGs which is just a dumb plan. Itâs going to be annuder same old season. Eventually we need to be relevant.
