banks and Gunn transfer mid season? When is college bball gonna start having trades?

Glad CJ didn’t get any go in the 2nd tho, not sure what he did this summer, sophomore year busts.

****!!! This could have cost the tournament. Ok I’m done.

Banks and Gunn are not good. They will be recruited over and hopefully we pull in players who are better either through the portal or as freshman. They belong on the bench and need to get way better.
 
Last year, in order to raise our ceiling, we needed Bates and JG to really step up.
This year, especially since we didn’t land any portal guards, we needed Gunn and Banks to step up.
Looking like we are going to go 0/4 and I won’t be surprised if Gunn and Banks hop on the portal train.
I really hope one or both of them get it going, during BT season, but certainly wouldn’t bet on that happening.
 
Trey was great.

Roster management has killed this program with no shooter. No X, no Newton, Leal, Gunn, and Banks not good. Terrible roster management could keep team from tournament.

Coach left Mgbako out too long down the stretch.
How we don’t have another guard on the roster is pretty bullshit. You can’t have an open scholarship and roll this shit out there. Gabe is nowhere near ready to play, and it is not his fault.

I agree. He didn't foul out of the game but it cost us the game imho. I knew he would not be ready after such a long stretch on the bench.

I am fine if they do. We get nothing from either of them. Gunn did not have the summer some said he did.
 
He’s on scholarship. They were well aware he was hurt.
And, he's also a frosh, even if he was healthy. I mean, you never quite know what you're going to get from a Freshman anyway.

They knew Newton was hurt, and Cupps is a Freshman. How did Woodson not think that they needed another guard?

There's no excuse for leaving an open roster spot.

I tell ya, right now I’m more excited about Cignetti and his first season than I am about the remainder of the basketball season.
Sure be excited about the football program that makes 1-2 bowl games per decade. Give up on a basketball coach who is 2 for 2 making the tournament. Jesus our fan base has to be the absolute dumbest in the country.
 
Making the NCAA Tournament is now the bar for success. Crean should have been given a lifetime contract.
Didn’t say that. Just like making a bowl game shouldn’t be the bar for success. But we were pretty bad before Woodson showed up and now we are better. And go back and look at some of the comments from last year. A lot of posters said this year would be a catastrophe without all the seniors. Woodson did a great job of landing Ware and Mbako and this team is improving as the year goes on. If X can come back I think we could finish in the top 3 of the Big Ten. Not bad for a year that was expected to be a catastrophe.

The absurd argument given by some on here was no grad transfer would come here because they would have to sit behind trey, cupps,banks, and gunn. Next year we look even thinner at guard assuming Newton can't come back.

Woody and the staff did know they needed another guard and they went after guys. They were not so stupid that they didn’t see a need that guys drinking beers and eating Cheetos on their couches saw.

Now can they catch crap for not successfully landing a needed guard? Yes indeed.

Lack of development amongst a lot of players is concerning. Geronimo, Bates, Banks, Gunn. None have shown any real improvement (yes I know Geronimo and Bates are gone).

Maybe some said that, but I think the more popular argument was most of the top guards transfers would have to compete and likely play behind Galloway. I think many felt X and Galloway would have the starting spots locked up and it’s difficult to convince a starting level transfer to come sit on the bench.

Difficult to predict another injury for X and I never heard Newton would be out all year until recently. I certainly felt like X, Galloway, Cupps, Gunn, Leal, and Newton would be enough. Thats 6 people for 2 positions.
 
No it didn't but we likely have to finish top three in the big ten and likely go at least 14-6.
I didn’t say it would be easy but the poster said we were definitely out of the tourney.
I disagree. 13-7 and maybe 12-8, depending on what other teams do and how many conf tourney upsets happen etc, will probably get us in.

Thank goodness we won at UM and are 2-0 as 1-1 would have made it immensely more difficult. I’m not predicting we will get in but rather let’s see how the next 4-5 conference games go.
