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

I don't know man, I'm about ready to throw a club.

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.

Let's poach 'em.

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.

Come back Mac! You’ve wandered off again.
