Agreed. Memphis is a pretty solid program. They're not a top tier program right now, but it's not like Timberlake is transferring to some random lower level mid major either.

At this point, we're ran more like a low major program than a mid major.

Between this and the way the Cross and Lykes situations are handled, good grief.

#1 seed Illinois' starting point guard Trent Frazier is from nearby West Palm Beach. We did not recruit him, of course.

Maybe L will be forced to change our style of offense now that Adam Fisher is gone. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

The amount of local and in-state kids we've neglected to recruit and pursue is pure negligence. And not just in the past, it's only getting worse because the 2022 and 2023 classes are loaded locally and in many cases we aren't even in the mix. Or if we do offer, it's usually much later in the...

Exactly. And we were involved in the FBI/Adidas investigation for a reason. I'm sure we weren't completely innocent. I'm tired of the "woe is me" fans coming on here acting like everything that's happened against us has been out of our control.

I wonder when we will get news of what the seniors are doing. Our season ended a week ago and nothing so far.

I saw a video of him on Twitter last night playing hoops with some high school kids. I think he’s been healthy for a while.

I've touched on this in some other threads, but I think this is one of the main reasons why we can't recruit a high school big to save our lives. They aren't involved in our offense at all. Whenever I hear L talk about frontcourt players, he makes it sound like their sole purpose is to defend...

Exactly. The head coach is responsible for everything that happens. This is HIS program. I don't know why this is so hard for people to understand and accept.

And it's not like next year is looking any better. As of now, it's actually looking worse. That would be FOUR straight dismal seasons.

This isn't the first year we've been decimated by injuries, yet L is too stubborn to recognize this trend and make changes to the S&C staff

Are we going to blame the Adidas scandal for why 3 years later we still can't recruit a big man out of high school? Or why the only 2 recruits from last year's class, Timberlake and Cross, both left the program? We can't continue to use this as an excuse for our current failures.

This. I really don't understand why it's so hard for some of these slurpers to admit there are serious problems with this program's current state. Coach L had a ton of success his first 7 years. But that was the past, and this is now. It's like some of these blind homers think L deserves a...

I see there’s still a few delusional excuse making slurpers out there. Does L deserve a lifetime contract in their eyes because of 2013? This is the worst 3 year stretch for Miami basketball since the early 90’s, and next year is not looking any better. The roster is barren.

Coach L has already been openly begging them to come back. And now I see why. Sad state of affairs

Joseph hasn’t signed so I would say he’s at risk. The only underclassmen on the returning roster are Wong, Beverly, and Walker. I can’t see Walker leaving because he’s all but guaranteed a starting spot. I could see Wong leaving if he wants to play for a better team. Who knows with Beverly.

Even if all 3 of them stay, we keep all 3 incoming recruits (assuming Joseph signs), and we convince a couple of the seniors to stay, that’s an 8 man team. L will use lack of depth as an excuse again - before any injuries even happen.

I thought I read he’s about to become a real estate agent so thankfully I think we’ll be spared.
