seiferguy posted:I'm not sure how I should feel about UW losing Porter, but I also think it was time for Romar to go. We have the person who's probably gonna go high in the draft yet we still went 9-22. Porter will probably be a one and done, which isn't a great way to build a program I would think, unless you can constantly recruit them. Romar was a super excellent amazing recruiter, he just happened to be a very bad coach. I expect to say this same thing about Cuonzo in about three years. Actually maybe one year will do it.

Democrazy posted:The woman's tournament was eventful yesterday, with 1 seeds Baylor and Norte Dame both going down. This is significant both because it shows just how competitive the women's game is getting, and because now the top three teams pegged as giving UConn the most trouble (ND, Baylor and Maryland) are now gone before UConn even sees them. Hmmm....

I gotta say speaking as a fan of a team that just went through a death spiral and was excited as goddamned hell for Cuonzo Martin of all coaches (even before the Michael Porter Jr thing happened) Louisville is not in a death spiral. When they hire a D2 coach just because he once played there we can talk.

SamuraiFoochs posted:There is way more variance in the NBA than in women's college ball. Which says a LOT. Yeah unless you want to go back to old school UCLA or the Bill Russell Celtics there's not really any comparison. I mean unless you're a fan of the team you hate Alabama football, but they're nowhere near UConn's run since 2002. Which would probably be even better if it wasn't for the other best coach in women's basketball history being at Tennessee for a good chunk of that time.

MourningView posted:I admittedly don't watch it at all but even beyond UConn, women's basketball seems pretty shallow and it seems like they should consider making the tournament field smaller. The first few rounds can get really ugly a lot of the time. Yeah I don't watch it at all either but I'd imagine the sport needs to mature if that makes sense? UConn's on a separate level but even past them it seems like there are always the same 3 or 4 teams that could theoretically give them trouble. It kinda reminds me of women's international hockey, like 98% of the talent is is playing for two teams and everyone else is cannon fodder. Women's basketball needs some bag men and dirty recruiting to spread the talent out. e: And Democrazy did say it was getting better past UConn recently and it isn't like I know enough to call him wrong, so maybe that's the start.

Panzeh posted:Is NCAA women's basketball any less dominated by slow paced coach-dominated offense than the men's game? They had the 30 second shot clock since 1970. The men didn't get a shot clock at all until 1985, and then it was 45 seconds. I mean it still might not be as fast as you'd like, but they've been ahead of the curve as far as forcing teams to at least attempt shots.

Hello Towel posted:James Blackmon Jr. has declared for the draft without hiring an agent. Even if he doesn't make an NBA roster, he's most likely going pro somewhere. I'd imagine OG will declare soon too. Maybe there's a good reason you feel this way but I always assume these guys are coming back until we hear otherwise. Especially if he's considering going to Europe or whatever, if you've made up your mind why not just hire an agent?

MourningView posted:Meanwhile Iowa signed two top 100 guys and I'm thrilled. We might as well play different sports. It's the weirdest loving feeling having a reason to pay attention to recruiting now. 5* Kevin Knox is visiting Mizzou this weekend and considering playing with Porter. I'd imagine he'll still end up at Duke, but even being in this discussions is insane. Luckily Missouri will never have to worry about the success of a Roy Williams, probably being a bubble team with a good (hopefully great) player or two is enough to get used to.

Saw that earlier and it's a good thing. I'd obviously love to steal Knox away from Duke (although I still doubt that happens) but I might be more excited about the possibility of Tillmon even if he isn't quite as good of a prospect. I just want as few minutes for Reed Nikko and maybe Mitchell Smith if his knee heals as possible.

That sucks. I wonder what his legacy will be, sometimes people still bring up the Fab 5 like he should have been able to control that mess. I mean, I guess he technically could have, but it would have been by not having those guys on his team. Also looking up his coaching record I'd forgotten it took him a full decade to really get going at SDSU.

I guess OSU isn't completely poo poo yet, but they're trending down for sure.

Mike_V posted:After some speculation DePaul took the lead on Tilmon, he committed to Mizzou. Seems like things are set now for Mizzou (unless Jontay Porter reclassifies) and they should finish above .500 next year Missouri had another transfer from Anderson's recruits too, redshirt freshman Jakoby Kemp, who....uh...must not have been very good since he's a big and Missouri was absolutely desperate for bigs last year. So if Jontay reclassifies they officially have space open for him. It's weird, I don't even care if he comes this year or next (assuming he comes eventually). If he wants to try to build his name up with another year of AAU ball I have no problem with that at all, same if he wants to come play a year with his brother in college. Well I wouldn't have any problem with that at all on an actual human level anyway, but I mean just as a fan. It's insane how quickly things have gone from abject horror when thinking about the Missouri basketball program to hope.

Whoops, I missed it yesterday but Jontay Porter committed to Mizzou. Still no word on if he's reclassifying to 2017 or not, although he has some quotes out there that sure sound like he's going to do it. Even without the younger Porter this might be Missouri's best recruiting class ever, and certainly is since Rivals really became a thing. If Jontay goes to 2017 they'll probably be top 5 in the nation, which is so utterly ridiculous after the Kim Anderson and Frank Haith years I can't even....just I have no words. I mean Cuonzo will probably turn all of this into like a .500 team but things are different for sure. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 05:06 on May 24, 2017 |

^^--It does seem like in June an interim assistant would be the right way to go. If you decide he's your guy hire him full time, if not re-asses at the end of the year.Lessail posted:It just leads to a fractured fanbase if the hire turns out mediocre or worse This is also a good point. There are some (old, out of touch, insane) Missouri fans who believe Kim Anderson was on the right track. Kim, who had a .284 winning percentage in 3 years and managed to run off 11 or 12 scholarship players, most of which he recruited. But this faction still exists. It's worth noting out of fairness that he didn't come into a good situation, but it still seems impossible to be bad enough for a loyalty hire to have the entire fan base behind getting rid of him.

Huh, if Jontay Porter reclassifies Missouri will have five players who are 6'10" or taller. Last year they were super small by big time conference standards. Technically they had two 6'10 guys, but one of them tore up his knee early in the season and the other one was recovering from hip surgery all year. He played some, but you can tell he couldn't really move. So the bulk of the interior play was a 6'8" guy and a 6'7" guy. But either way 5 of those guys is a lot by most any standards. They might even do things like rebound, which I've been told is a rare basketball play where your team get the ball after a missed basket.
