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 ! No. You complained an awful lot about the crickets this year. You complained about the Titan Club renovation project even when it was explained to be the athletes' nutrition center on non-game days. You complained about us not releasing a list of returning players even when no team does that. You declined to attend the golf outing dinner where you could have met and spoken to every coach and the 11 players currently disclosed. And so now you complain because circumstances intervened and changed what could be said yesterday. I therefore assume that at no time in your life have expected events ever changed due to unforeseen events. As you say, it's better not posting any future expectations here because something might happen to change the previous expectation. So, just wait for the press releases. Complain about the lack of information. Hoop Night is about September 30th. Nothing good is going to happen. /sarc In the words of Coach Achter, join us or stand aside and watch.

Looks like we are not getting Polk. Transferring to a CC after making all Frosh team in the MAC. I’m wondering if there were academic issues? Looked like the rim protector shot blocker we could use. I wonder if we tried and couldn’t get him past the Hounds of Livernois? Seems odd that he would wait this long to commit to a CC. Maybe he was waiting for us! Could be one of our surprises that missed their plane or maybe we signed what we feel is better and Polk was waiting for that spot.

I am genuinely reluctant to speculate on a player's academic status, but the Polk situation does raise that question. There had to be some schools on the mid major level interested in a 6-10 guy with his numbers. Late Summer commitments to JUCO programs are often a result of last ditch efforts in summer school falling short. If that's the case with Polk, I wish him the best in getting qualified.

Was not on our radar... three left for sure.. would not be surprised by more than 3. Seems funny he wasn’t on our radar. Our radar must be broke time to call in a technician! Polk is a defender/shot blocker which is what we have needed since Davis got here. So now I am wondering how fantastic the big Davis thinks he has coming in is if Polk a local kid couldn’t even get on his board. Sometimes a coach has an uncanny eye for talent and I think sometimes they rely too much on the rating systems. 🧻

Given that we offered Polk when he was in HS, and that we played CMU last year, I suspect he was entirely on our radar, in terms of knowing about him and his ability. If he was not on our radar in terms of trying to get a transfer, I assume we knew what every other coach apparently knew (which, as Sam says, is probably that he couldn’t qualify academically).

Commish that is how I felt when I was responding to Kirky’s he Wasn’t on our radar. The comment about the rating system was referring to Davis’s multiple attempts at finding a good 4-5 which to this point have included some wrongly rated 3-4 star players.🥸

The selection and recruiting of players have changed so drastically and quickly that the transition may look like ineptness. It once was that the main source of players was from HS, and we all know the drill, from HS game visits to home visits, then AAU teams came into play along with their "street agents". Now with a great many players transfering and the portal, sometimes it may take a bit of time before other inform catches up with a player like their qualifying academics.

Sorry guys I can’t help myself but I do think some off the deceit on here is starting to become funny. Has anyone reported that plane that was coming in a week ago missing yet? Did we fill out a missing persons report on the incoming player or are we scrambling to find a replacement? The season starts in about 90 days, I wonder what our excuse will be for a bad start this time? 🤷🏻♂️

Let's see what happens after the dead period this week. I thought the dead period was in April or May this year.
