    That's not the point he is making. I think what he is arguing is that (1) there are a limited number of ACC-caliber players out there, and (2) it is very difficult to get many of them to come to Miami. So if you miss a class one year (like we did in 2018), you can't just "make up" for it the...

    Miller has never had a 6 game stretch anywhere close to Waardenburg’s last 6: 10.7 pts, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 59% from the field. And he did it playing against a very tough schedule, including a #1 seed (Duke), 2 bubble teams away from home (Temple, Illinois), and another conference foe...

    If you add Joe Thomas to this team, this team still stinks. I agree, we should have another Joe Thomas or two on the roster. Those of us defending L aren't arguing that we shouldn't have another two Joe Thomases. We're arguing that it's insignificant compared to the damage done by the FBI...

    1) The next Miami basketball coach will be less successful than Coach L. Yes he hasn't been perfect, but he's been very good - much better than this program has ever had, and better than the next guy this program will be able to attract. L's quality as a coach far outpaces Miami's prestige as a...

    That is NOT awful. How many good players do you think most middle-of-the-pack ACC teams have? Have you looked at their rosters? First, we have 5, not 4. Waardenburg has been one of the bright spots of the season. He's been playing extremely well for more than a month now, and against good...

    It's hard for people to accept their team not winning, and it's even harder for people to accept it when it's not anyone's fault. People like scapegoats. They like to point fingers, rather than accept that some things are beyond anyone's control. Louisville is a near-blue blood. Miami is...

    Of course there are reasons why teams should write off seasons. For example, teams coming off sanctions are justified in writing off seasons. In our case, it's the FBI investigation. How different would this team be if it had 3 sophomores contributing as opposed to 0? That's what the FBI took...

    I wasn't aware Brooks was Kareem Abdul Jabbar III. Based on the comments on this thread, he must be a special talent that could take an NIT team (at best) and make them a Sweet 16 team. The fact of the matter is that with or without Brooks, this team was not going to be very good. Personally I...

    Would you rather have open scholarships or Anthony Macks? Guys like Mack are non-contributors. If the choice were between an instant impact guy or an open scholarship, then sure, take the guy who's going to make an impact. But those guys don't grow on trees. It's hard to bring in more than a...
