Question About Where We Are Right Now

Guards: XJ, Bates, JHS, Gunn
Wings: Geronimo, Kopp, Galloway, Leal
Bigs: TJD, Race, Duncomb, Banks

I love hearing the rumors that Race, Trayce, XJ might want to come back next year and that would just be WONDERFUL. I know things are still in motion with the Renau kid and getting him would be WONDERFUL.

BUT...I hate stating the obvious again...WHO, ON THIS ROSTER, CAN MAKE THREES CONSISTENTLY? Surely to goodness we aren't going to commit the same sin over and over and over again...

For you guys who know stuff about recruiting, are we involved with any recruit/portal entrant, who can actually make the three consistently?

Go Hoosiers!

I Hate Change

8 returning starters on Offense
9 returning starters on Defense

We lost Hart at RB coach
We lost Wommack at DC

We added McCullough as RB coach
We added Warren as DC


OL - We lost Nworah and Crider - took Carpenter from the portal. Pre-season starts last year were 46 - this year 67.

RB - We lost Scott, took Carr from the portal, lost James 8/11/21 and Baldwin 10/4/21 to the portal.

WR - We lost Whop - took Matthews and Buckley from the portal - lost Matthews

QB - we lost Penix then Tuttle



DL - We lost J. Johnson and added Anderson and Handy from the portal

LB - We kept Jones and McFadden and got Marcelino back at Husky

Corners - Lost Mullen to injury

Safety - Lost Jamar Johnson


We should have been better than we have performed.

Penix underperformed.
OL underperformed.
WR's underperformed.

Until Maryland, defense generally was good enough to win, but less than expected.


IMO losing James, then the horrible start at Iowa shook this team emotionally and mentally. It snowballed and we lost momentum, confidence, chemistry.

Instead of looking forward to playing our tough schedule - it became an excuse.

All we can do now is find out who the fighters are and re-group for next year.

We're 2-6. Own it.


I worry that the coaching changes were a major mental change that we did not adjust to well enough/quick enough.

Redshirt seniors who contribute and will probably be gone:
Powell OL
Marcelino - Husky
Smolar - K
Burgess - DB
Fitzgerald - DB
Allen - LB
Jones. - OL
Bryant - DL

5thYear Seniors who could be gone:

Monster - DB
Reese Taylor - DB
Cam Jones - LB
James Head - DL
Jaylin Williams - DB
McFadden - LB
Haggard - OL
Bjorson - TE
Elliot - DL


Tuttle has a degree
Penix - ?

Do you multi-task leisure?

I was reading a thread on an old forum about Civilization 6, a strategy game that is notorious for long turn times. That is to say, in the late game, as it gets more complex, when you hit "next turn," it takes several minutes for the AI to go through all the AI player turns and get back to you. Several posters mentioned that they always had a second activity to keep themselves occupied while waiting for this to happen.

Anyway, the game doesn't matter. What I realized is that at some point, I began doing the same thing. Right now, from my couch, I can watch the TV (which I am doing), but I also have within reach a laptop, phone and hardcover book, all available to occupy myself during commercials. I further realized that this is pretty normal for me, now. If I'm lying in bed with a book, it might have my full attention, but if I'm in the living room, I almost always have multiple things going on at the same time. I don't watch TV without a book next to me. I don't play a video game without the TV turned to an interesting background channel.

Anyone else?

Lander

It is simply amazing to me how poor his bbal iq is. For the couple of minutes he was in he throws a pass to I think Geronimo way in the corner where he can do nothing but get boxed in. I think it may have gone out of bounds anyway. Then he drives in and dribbles it off his foot but it somehow goes off a Wisconsin guy so we keep it. Boy I sure hope JHS is ready to be a point guard from day one cause Lander is just wow almost looking like divison three.
