Georgia has a new coach. The walkin' talkin' over-rated ex-Indiana coach Tom Crean was fired at Georgia after his 6-26 season.Interesting choice, Georgia was 6-26 last year.
He saw his minutes decrease a lot from the previous year as Monsanto emerged. No surprise he made the move as the talent at Wake continues to trend upward.
Are you still talking last year? Only Laravia went "big time" & made a splash with a team that never got to play in the NCAA Big Dance so? The rest of them ended up playing for losers or not at all. I don't see that any of this past season Sycamores have even found a home yet? Key is not really a "last season player" & has already graduated & may get a good landing spot somewhere? Take a look at life today "The programs in college basketball who are still able to build programs are now the exception. The programs in college basketball who build teams year-to-year are now the norm. This is life in 2022. Embrace it." The Sycamores have added mucho talent for the upcoming season. Get with the program before spewing your trash!look where all these ex sycamores possibly going, one went to Wake Forest, and the other has visits had some power 5 schools, man are we loosing a lot to the transfer portal, but what have we gained in return ? Nothing, Nothing. excuse me, excuse me Coop who is really loyal and I guess we will see him next year. I say to my self everyday, we could have had a great team, this coming year, Key,LaRavia, Coop, and Williams, finally a scoring punch!!! Hopefully success comes soon, rather than later.
Shoot I got here too late. I was going to warn you that you can't talk like that on this board. Everything has to be anti-Lansing and anti-anyonewhoplayedforLansing. You have to toe the line that JS and his staff are a HUGE coaching upgrade and the talent is likewise a HUGE upgrade. Never mind that Key is going to play on a national stage next year and possibly go to the NBA. Or that LaRavia is being discussed as a legit NBA Draft prospect (not this year but next) and possibly 1st team ACC. Cobie Barnes didn't pan out as we had hoped as an underclassman but is now a Top 100 JUCO prospect and may end up at a P6 before it's all said and done. You can't bring up that the only ISU winning teams since 1979 are with Lansing recruits or that he won 11 of his last 13 games and had back-to-back winning seasons finishing in the top half of the MVC all with the lowest budget and salary before ISU said "we can do better, bye." Oh but his record in St Louis? He is the only ISU coach to make the Arch Madness finals twice since it's inception and made the semifinals in his last year. Yes ISU lost badly but lost to a team that had Krutwig and made the Sweet 16.look where all these ex sycamores possibly going, one went to Wake Forest, and the other has visits had some power 5 schools, man are we loosing a lot to the transfer portal, but what have we gained in return ?

I have been willing to give Schertz a fair shake since he got here (and I still am...it's not his fault ISU blew up the program on purpose but he knew what he was getting in to--at least to some extent). My theory is he was brought in to do better than Lansing. So, do better.
If Cobie Barnes ends up at a P6 I will quit SycamorePride - I said it... So someone please monitor and then quote this post if that ever happens. Because I don't have any business talking about college basketball anymore if that is the case. Some other people on here should learn from this post and make similar proclamations and hold themselves accountable.
I might have said it before on here but it's worth repeating. JS is much better positioned as a HC to deal with roster volatility than GL or likely anyone else that had coached here prior to them. I think this past off-season is an indication of how well equipped he is to deal with this current environment. The rest of the MVC had guys still declaring for the portal when we had just finished up filling out our roster. He had many gaps to fill and on paper upgraded in every single position - save for maybe Micha Thomas I think he was going to continue to develop into a fine player for us.
Also - I don't think everything is or has been anti-Lansing. I think most of us have just moved on at this point - I mean I suppose you can continue to reference him in an effort to hold the new coach and Administration accountable if he fails. But that's really not a great way to enjoy college basketball... Again, it almost puts you in a position as a fan where you are happy when your team wins and you are happy when they lose. You get the satisfaction from your team winning and you get satisfaction from being right that we should have never gotten rid of GL. Yeah... Not thanks for me. That is not anti-Lansing that is just what moving on looks like.
Pending this Cobie Barnes ascension to P6 - every post could be my last post on SP.

Cobie is currently #32 in this poll and yeah most of they guys around that ranking go to MM's...but #17 is going to a P5. So who knows where he'll land especially if his stock rises.

This is something I took notice of once our final addition was announced/signed. I definitely think it speaks volumes for Coach Schertz, or at least I hope it does.The rest of the MVC had guys still declaring for the portal when we had just finished up filling out our roster.
Texas Tech would be the better choice in my opinion if you going off success. Tennesse is 2nd. Oklahoma 3rd. But if you want family and friends to be there obviously Tennessee is the pick. Not sure why Ole Miss is even being considered.https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1513876963743649792

Kermit Davis is the HC there, and was at Middle TN ST in Murphysboro from 2002-18, likely recruited by Davis in HS and likes Davis as a person/coach.Texas Tech would be the better choice in my opinion if you going off success.
