Again, he wouldn't be getting fired. They'll negotiate a separation or retirement but a coach of his pedigree and history with the program isn't being unceremoniously shown the down

He's not getting fired regardless. Come back to reality.

Larranaga can't be compared to Hamilton - he is absolutely 1a. Different place and time but Leonard got us as far as the Sweet 16, while L got us to the Sweet 16 twice and then the Elite 8 and Final 4. As for down years, they do tend to happen. Not comparing the two coaches but John Calipari...

You’re moving the goalposts now

This was the 247 ranking

Here were the top 25 transfers last year and where they landed: 1. Hunter ****inson (Kansas) - Starter 2. Kal'el Ware (Indiana) - Starter 3. Grant Nelson (Alabama) - Starter 4. Jesse Edwards (WVU) - Starter 5. JJ Starling (Syracuse) - Starter 6. LJ Cryer (Houston) - Starter 7. Jameer Nelson...

Uh, Cleveland was a huge NIL pull. Again, kids aren't going to come for NIL if there isn't a clear path to playing time. Our top two SG targets to replace Wong wound up starting for 1 seeds in this year tourney. Hard to beat that.

I'm honestly surprised he didn't retire after last year's run

The Five Reasons Sports Canes podcast summed it up pretty well on their pod from earlier this week - young players like Nwoko often get approached by other programs, regardless if they're perceived to be better programs or not, and get wooed, promised more prominent roles, etc., Nwoko clearly...

The two biggest mistakes on the roster construction side were assuming Cleveland could fill the Miller void and not finding an adequate replacement for Wong. Having to move Bensley into the starting lineup completely killed our bench. Casey and Watson were safe bets as far as being able to...

As a third guard you can do far worse but he wants to start

They're after quite a few in the portal already

Bingo. The pivot to Bensley as a starter only happened after guys like Cam Spencer and Cormac Ryan decided to go elsewhere.

He was pretty transparent in his presser. Not sure what else you need him to say

Owning up to what? That the roster pieces didn't fit? That certain guys had horrible attitudes and checked out midseason? Does he have to apologize to the fanbase just to appease you. Grow up little boy.

100%. We have some real dolts in the fanbase that are under the impression that impact transfers were lining up to play for a team that had just made two deep tourney runs, were returning 3 starters, another key rotation piece and had two other young players in Casey and Watson expected to step...
