I think FSU is more than nominally better… they’re in 5th place halfway through the season with an easier 2nd half schedule remaining. Having said that… I definitely don’t think Cleveland is a cancer and I agree with pretty much everything else you said. I also think the team is just plain...

I think Cleveland is a good kid… I don’t think he is a cancer… but coincidence creeps into the mind when you look at FSU last year vs this year and us this year vs last year. I think the answer is other than Omier (who just produces at such a high level he makes the team better) and maybe...

True. Last chance U. Hopefully L can find a way to sign another one.

But it’s not year to year. It missed on Miami two years a row because of the style we played and the players we had. Anyone who watched us knew we were better than our efficiency metric rankings the last two years (because our strength was exactly where the rankings are deficient). Also a short...

I actually agree that the stat nerds are reasonably ranking us this year. My complaint is efficiency metrics fail to capture a ”clutch” team (like last year’s squad) that plays a lot of close games but finds a way to win. We are not that team this year.

Great post that illustrates exactly the predicament L faces. He’s never had a bag game (and he’s a character guy so I’m not sure a bag game would have even worked for him because his sell is system fit and development) so he’s never really had a chance to even enter the market. Hopefully NIL...

You came on here spewing garbage calling L a corpse and saying he doesn’t want size and you were negative recruiting Miami with your nephew. Funny thing is I wasn’t even talking to you. Good luck to your nephew but take your toxic **** somewhere else. We got a program to support that has...

I think his “nephew” is a 7 footer who Miami is apparently recruiting. Shame to discourage a kid like that from attending Miami because L made Jekiri and Izundu and even Rok darn good post players by their senior years.

The truth is the only NBA prospect “big” that we’ve ever signed is DH (not even a “true” big) and his career was F’d by the ncaa. L and his staff have turned several “projects” into ACC caliber bigs who are having nice careers overseas. But all the elite prospects care about is NBA track...

I don’t think anyone did… but he was +13 in 18 minutes last game… pretty encouraging!

@Brooklyndee Maybe you didn’t understand. Miami has a top 5 NIL budget for football. In basketball we’re well outside the top 10 in NIL. I’ve been a Golden Cane/Living Scholar for almost 3 decades, so I very much know the NIL situation. You should own your error and move on… hopefully...

@Brooklyndee if you are who you say you are then you should know it’s extra wrong for you to publicly badmouth the coach of the university you profess to support. Saying L looks like a corpse is just spiteful. Your comments about him not wanting size are wrong (he wants size and skill and has...

Respect and appreciation.

You literally wrote “If Mario was the basketball coach and had recruited this team and done the dumb **** coach l continues to do this season…” and said L stands on the sideline like a “corpse”. You’re either bitter or incredibly “not-smart” Using Mario as the basis to compare and denigrate...

100%. It’s really awful. And as much as I love and appreciate L, no coach is ever above criticism… even including Coach L after bringing Miami to a final four. But what @Brooklyndee is saying is just wrong and spiteful.

What’s so weird and awful is that L does everything he can to help and support Mario and football. What @Brooklyndee is doing is just incredibly stupid or spiteful. And what’s worse is he doesn’t have a clue. Weird for him to say L doesn’t want size but Miami is recruiting his nephew (and...

Must not have much faith in your nephew if you don’t think he could do as well here as a 6’7 guy. Incredibly pathetic that you are bashing L and badmouthing Miami to your “nephew”.

Apparently you should stick to football. It seems you know less than nothing about basketball or the basketball program. Weird you wouldn’t want your nephew to have a chance to play for the coach whose center leads the acc in double doubles.

The only corpse is the message board hero who is bashing a coach who has had more success than message board tough guy could dream of. Pathetic.

You defend Mario and post this? L has taken a program with no support, no history, and no resources and made it an ACC leader with elite postseason success… and you’re hating on L and going out of your way to hurt the program because you’re mad he sees Poplar as a premier impact player? That...
