The talent thread

How many 'passes' does a guy get before it's finally time to turn the page?

A lifetime of them.

Les had Maniscalco, Brown, and Warren last year and he managed an underwhelming 16-15 result with those 3 all conference caliber players. Does he get 'pass' for that season too? How many 'passes' does a guy get before it's finally time to turn the page?

Apparently this is much like Six Flags...


You know...the special where you pay 1 1/2 times and you get an unlimited pass...


What? You guys haven't seen his unlimited wristband?


Btw, I was just looking for a simple response...not trying to kick anyone while they're down, but I have yet to get a response on if it's not the players...

Lifetime pass....

Lifetime pass....

Kind of funny - Actually a friend of mine who used to post on here gave one to Jim and Ozzie Guillen after their successes in 2005-06.

He has seemingly rescinded both of them.

Maybe your friend wore out his welcome.

Just win baby!

You know I myself am not really sure of anything anymore...



If we don't have last place talent, then what seems to be the issue...

Is this the post where you wanted a response?....

The issue is that when you take the two best players you have away from a team...without notice or warning...it will take time to adjust...from a coaching perspective and from a player perspective...like putting together a puzzle with a timeclock going...having Jake, DSE and DD with nagging injuries ...Jake missed a bunch of time early...this did not help to get things together...but as they have come together they have played much better...the improvement in play has come from improvement from DSE, Pross, and Jake...Walt has stepped up a little too...would still like to see Milos a bit more...

Does this address your issue?

[Toyota12]

why?

Why did my post about CB and his son get deleted ? Because it is supposedly a rumor? Cmon Man!! Half the stuff you guys put on here is speculation or an oppinion!!!

[Da Coach]

It was among posts that were in violation of the rules. Sorry.
Keep posts on the current topic.

FINALLY! Yes thank you!

Can I follow up?


While I agree with just about all you said, I myself still don't feel we have 10th place talent...I even will go so far as to say that without Taylor and Sam, I still feel as though we should be good enough to finish top 6...


Does anyone see that as a fair assessment?

Yes, I still thought we could finish at least 6th.

I don't now, initially at the start of the conference season I did. But after watching the start of the conference and witnessing the missed open layups, missed open jump shots, and turnovers...I slowly began to realize that we just don't have it this season...wait til next season, they look to be getting better and will be getting help

I can not and will not bring myself to using Cubs terminology

Yes I think we have better than tenth talent....and I answered the question...why not in top 6 or 7:

1. time needed to put pieces together after losing TB and SM suddenly...
2. Jake's ankle...DSE knee...now DD's knee...he was no where near full strength last night...
3. Pross's emergense and Walts gives us a late surge..

You start the season over from here and I think you see a whole different finish....but its past now...finish strong and get ready for next season....

SM
DSE
TB
WE
JP

I know I love koolaide...but that is a nice looking lineup and WL, RA,JE, SH and DS will fight for minutes or starting too...

Apparently he is working off a "Sweet 16" number of 'passes'..
