fathom Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 QUOTE (dasox24 @ Apr 18, 2014 -> 02:17 AM) Ha, y'all can't wait to get rid of that guy. I can't blame you. It was a questionable hire to begin with, and he hasn't proven much. They had no money to hire anyone with upside. It sucks being a college hoops fan of a school that cares mostly about football.

danman31 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 17, 2014 -> 09:33 PM) Someday, you too will find your Fred Hoiberg. Except Iowa State sucks at football and has a better history of basketball. Either way, very happy to have Haith gone. Christmas came early. I thought we'd have to wait for him to inevitably fail to make the tournament next year before we would fire him. Now he's gone and we don't have to pay him. This is fantastic. Only can go up from here. The real shame is when Anderson left we had three players that would play in the NBA for the next coach to inherit. Haith left a relative wasteland for the next guy.

This year seems like there are much more coaches I'd be happy with than when HCMA left. But, again, as you alluded to, this is a tough situation to come into, but it's a place where you could build a program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Do you folks think Kansas with Big Cliff is a lock to reach the Final Four? If Kansas adds Myles Turner is it preseason No. 1? Is Wisconsin a viable national title pick? Do you like North Carolina and all that young talent? Is Duke a lock with its fabulous recruiting class? Is Kentucky still the odds on favorite? My guess is Wisconsin will finally win it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you haven't watched the NCAA Tournament before, there is no such thing as a lock for the Final Four in March, let alone 3 weeks after the previous tournament ended.

Jenksismyhero Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Parker and Wiggins couldn't get their teams to the Final Four this year, not sure why Cliff's addition will make Kansas automatic favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I like Arizona personally. Good combination of size, athleticism and experience. Then again, I've also been impressed with what I've seen from Okafor and Jones (which is admittedly a small sample). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Okafor is going to be absolutely dominate in college. He's so far ahead of most big men his age in terms of footwork and touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's so far ahead of most big men his age in terms of footwork and touch. He reminds me of Al Jefferson. I don't know how college teams are going to guard him. Really impressed with Mudiay too, and there are a ton of other interesting freshmen. Then again, this last class wasn't quite as good as the hype, so who knows.

I've only seen a little of Tyrus Jones but I don't believe he's that good. Plays in Minnesota which as we know, isn't exactly a hot bed of HS hoops.

Only two real senior studs this year, Jones and Reid Travis (Stanford). Fun fact: Travis played for De La Salle, a high school that is literally on an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. And yes, their name is the Islanders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Darius Paul arrested in Champaign. Apparently underage drinking and running from cops which eventually led to cops tackling him. Hey, someone in Champaign can tackle. Seems pretty minor. Maybe a suspension of a game or so vs. some really weak team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has no history of bad behavior like this. Yea from what I read/heard the cop basically admitted he wouldn't have been in trouble if he hadn't run. Stupid drunken choice, I've made worse while drunk but fortunately never got caught. Hopefully nothing like this happens again though.

Jenksismyhero Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Stephen Bardo takes to Twitter today to say the cops overreacted to the Darius Paul situation (ignoring the resisting arrest part of the story) and that it only happened because Champaign is a racist town. Well done Bardo. Way to get a fan base to turn on you in a split second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
