LZIp

As expected.

Today I learned I am blocked by GT on twitter. Wonder what I said to him ?

I'm not saying he will/wouldn't ultimately end up succeeding here, but it would sting to lose him. We are already 2 years into this miserable process and would likely be starting from scratch. Not to mention its so late in the process...I can't imagine there are many attractive candidates out there to replace him at this point. Also I pulled the contract info and I think we'd be entitled to a whopping $300k if he leaves.

Welp..

X wore #20 just last year FYI

I wonder if we can get Shelton Felton back? We do have an opening AFAIK.

M Jackson, Turner, and our Jackson are all 3 very good players the MAC is lucky to have.

Am I the only one who thinks that some of those questions are just cringe? He didn't even know LCJ had the game winning assist.

Incredible game with some big shots hit by players not named LCJ. That is what we need from Dailey and Trimble if we want to make the dance. I think our play from our bigs left a lot to be desired. Toledo had double digit offensive boards in the 2nd half alone. I don't feel like many calls went our way and I think our operator started the clock late on that last play. Good win under adversity. Garvin Clarke has some potential. Hopefully his minutes continue to increase. I like the idea of him and LCJ on the floor at the same time too as someone else mentioned.

When does Reghi get replaced? He's misspoke about 20 times so far. Haven't noticed Jackie make any errors at all.

Toledo misses 2 FTs, gets the offensive rebound, we foul them and send them to the line again. Unbelievable.

LCJ can't buy a call. That travel call was definitely a foul.

Out hustled, out hustled, out hustled. Story of the 2nd half so far. Reece, Freeman, and Marshall aren't getting it done today. Why not try Currie or Aziz?

We look like $hit

Dailey stepping up! This is the first game Ali is really sticking out in a bad way. He has had A LOT of shots made on him. Doesn't help that Toledo seems like they are shooting lights out.

Who else is going to step up and end the game with 15+ points? If nobody, Toledo wins. LCJ can't do it all. He has 20 and the next closest is 4 points.

M Jackson had 2 quick fouls and not he's back in tearing us up. Keep attacking him.

Very nice minutes from Clarke. Also liked the energy Reece and Marshall brought in that sequence.

they are calling them light

13 of 15 points have been scored on Ali. And nobody has scored except for LCJ................

Not to mention, it’s not like he’s been shooting at a bad clip or anything, at least based on my observation. We need people to be aggressive.

medically disqualified and essentially a student coach.

Good for Nate and good luck to him. He's the player who has left and done the most at this level, and he is still going down even though he has guaranteed immediate eligibility. Food for thought.

The Dookies lose perhaps their best player. Unfortunately he ends up in Portage Co

There's definitely a balance to be had, IMO. I think we may not have hit the portal hard enough the first 2 years and it shows, but having a team with a lot of experience the next 3 years will hopefully pay dividends. The staff so far in the late signing period seems to be focusing on filling gaps with transfers, both from the P5. I hope the majority of the rest of open scholarships are used in that manner with maybe 1 or 2 higher-ranked high school recruits (for us at least) if we have the opportunity to grab them. It remains to be seen if the model Jackson State and West Florida are taking lead to long-term success. Its probably easier to do at D2 due to the limited amount of scholarships. Use the scholarships on ex-D1 players and supplement the roster with non-scholarship players as you normally would. Who knows how this will go at Jackson State with Deion. I want long term success for our program. A Toledo or OU type of program. Not a program where we make or win one MAC championship and it all falls apart and we go back to the gutter for another 3-4 years.
