Willy wasn't a disappointment for the contribution and effort he gave to the team for 4 years, the disappointment is what he could have been. Maybe the best comparison to resent history player could be Nick Minnerath, both big men, older, good shooters, Nick used his 2 years here to really develop, Willys may not have been a Minnerath, but with better coaching or and/use he could have contributed much more, his 3 and 4 year he should have been a starter, and 2nd or 3rd points producer.

I believe he was a starter for most of his last 3 years. He did miss some time with injuries and we did try and replace him every year but the cream always came to the top. Real unfair comparison with Nick. Nick was even better than what he was allowed to show at Detroit he was forced into a back seat behind McCallum. Nick had tremendous athletic ability, was explosive and had hops. Willy much more of a grinder type.

Comparison only in age, perhaps size etc, Nick is a gifted ball player

I’m still holding hope for Polk, Carpenter and a foreign big.

First thing, this would be a good signing, if it were to happen. If this player is just visiting now, I'm gonna guess we were misled and "at least 4 players" aren't signed and ready to go/the roster will be released at the golf outing so we can "begin to think about lineups with a full roster". All this is so very unfortunate 😞

Now being reported nationally
Alabama State transfer Gerald Liddell is visiting Detroit Mercy.
Liddell started his career at Texas and was a former top-50 recruit.
One of the most talented big men left in the portal.

All this is so very unfortunate 😞 So, I guess we won't be seeing you here anymore? Because a plane flight got delayed and an announcement could not be made today at the outing? Yes, the entire program is operated primarily for the benefit of 4 or 5 people on this message board. /sarc

And apparently all arriving the day of the event with absolutely no planning for contingencies, right? Seems unlikely. I'm skeptical.

Yes, the entire program is operated primarily for the benefit of 4 or 5 people on this message board. /sarc Real smooth. Go out of your way to alienate a loyal Titan fan who gives this program more attention than it deserves. Of course, you're just following the lead of the actual University leadership who puts in almost no effort to connect with fans. "I believe that by the evening of August 5th, we can begin to think about line-ups with a full roster. The team has decided to use the golf outing as a kick-off event for the upcoming season. I believe there will be at least 4 more players announced between now and the end of August 5th." That's a direct quote from you. It's August 5 at 8:00 PM Eastern. If anyone had unrealistic expectations, it was you. You were the person who claimed this would be a significant day. I knew better, but unfortunately others took you at your word.

I don’t think so. The interest and caring about this program has pretty much been BS’d to death. I think it’s pretty bad when they feed you crap all year and then call you negative if you complain. So we were lead to believe we would know a lot more about who is on and who is not on the team. Probably shouldn’t be pissed because those pretending to be in the know obviously know nothing. Crickets would have been the honest approach !
