Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

We are recruiting a bunch of big men, but unfortunately it seems as though 1 out of 5 have a D1 skill set.

I don't think anybody on the current roster has won a single game in the MVC tournament, have they?

So we need to find a big body that knows what it means to hustle. Shouldn't be that hard.

You want Pehl and Rodenburg back? They hustled.

I love that if 3PA's were falling in, this board would be talking about how genius Coach Jake's staff is for being able to find a way to win without post depth and who needs to play Neanderthal basketball in the paint?

Like others have mentioned, it's not that Jake hates post players, it's that things haven't clicked. McDermott is one example, Carson Shanks is another (who was this board's wet dream and appears to be red shirting his frosh season out at USU).

7'-ers are not magic, they don't just create wins by walking onto campus. Any physical measurement is overcome if the player coverts possessions into points - Eric Coleman, Ali Farohkmanesh come to mind.

Remember, we are who we thought we were. We're a mid-major that still has some tough non-con games and a tough conference schedule. Use that time to settle into Jake's system and be a team that believes in each other and never gives up.

UNI does not need to be acknowledged or blessed by the media and the sports world to be successful, that would just go to this board's head. UNI simply needs to show up in St. Louis ready to win tournament games.

20+ win seasons and 7 footers are neat, but neither is a prerequisite to tournament success.

You know what I mean. Shame. Kind of a waste of talent.
