I continue to be amused by these posts. The story of Chicken Little comes to mind.

The McKillop system, as it stands now, does not work without multiple three point threats and a legit low post game that collapses the perimeter D. This is a fact, not an opinion.

I'm also reminded of the ostrich burying his head in the sand. Nothing wrong here, move along.

I wouldn’t say the sky is falling. I’d just say we’re 2-6— good for 13th in the A-10.

Sky only falls if we don't crush it in recruiting.

It’s getting a bit late in the recruiting game, so I wouldn’t bet on that.

The real recruiting starts when the season ends. You recruit your own roster first, then everyone else's. I hope we retain Reed, Sean, Bobby, a few others. And then knock it out of the park with transfers.

Which I don't expect. A man can dream.

Actually, recruiting for most D1 schools won't start in earnest until the transfer portal ramps up in March/April.

Addendum: Oops. i77 types faster than I do.

Given most teams’ focus on transfers, I believe HS players are probably undervalued. Princeton is 16–3 with no grad students or transfers that I see from a quick review of their roster. Their two leading scorers are sophomores.

Agree, some power 5 schools have bench players making six figures. Davidson will forward a successful but different path as has always been done.
Actually optimistic about next year. There is a nice nucleus of players

The Dukes are 6.5 point favorites.

Time for the Cats to get another road win.

I think the line opened Dukes -5. Bettors saw the Loyola game.

Man, the announcer is heaping praises on Bailey, even as he has missed a couple of bunnies.
