Back to my often made point. You can appreciate all KD did AND appreciate what Groce is doing and support the effort. They needn't be mutually exclusive positions.

I'm watching TJ Moss closely. He's a kid that could be a real game-changer for this program.

Please do, Skip. Your commentary is always better the third time around.

Ugh. More reason and commonsense. Yawn.

Speaking of game changers: I'll repeat some of what I've said recently on this board. In the short term, I'm just hoping that Hester immediately becomes that 15 ppg scorer that we will need to replace Duvivier's production. I believe he's the best talent out of all of the guys who started play with us last year, and will start next year. And that Riak can at least equal what we'll get in the paint from Sayles and Poke (if he returns) next year. If we can get those two things, we'll be a better team. Then I can move on to hoping that we get a new impact recruit to come here soon.

Sorry you're so sad and angry, and feel compelled to react by resorting to name-calling. Ask mommy to make you milk and cookies and tuck you into bed, and it will feel better in the morning. Davidson's win meant that they could have easily been justified in eliminating another A-10 team. Instead, they gave an additional A-10 team an AT-LARGE bid. Nice try. A-10 - 3 MAC - 1 You can easily go away now and stop watching for every new Dambrot post to come up on your screen, since you "don't care about him". Right?

Incredibly excited about next year! How many months do we have to wait? 8? Really excited to see how the off-season plays out and who stays and who goes. If the Big 3 of Ivey, Utomi, and Parrish stay with the Zips along with Sayles that will tell me a lot about Groce and his staff and the confidence the players have in their leadership. If I'm guilty of anything that's gotten me in trouble on here it is this: I am 100% behind John Groce and his staff for now, and I was indifferent about KD's departure.

If we have to lose a player or two due to character issues I'm all for doing it now so we set straight what culture we want from those players coming in. I'm not sold that Virsohn understands that or is willing to submit to a team first mentality. That being said I am not particularly close to the inner workings of the team and if i am wrong I am actually happy to be so. I want to keep talent, but it must be tempered by good character and the team above all else.

I think THUG is a more accurate description. But then again this has been Kent's M.O. for as long as I can remember. They always have at least one on the roster.
