Re: Five SIU basketball players transferring
Lowery may have put the program past saving.
Barry gets one more year and they start over. Again. -
Re: Five SIU basketball players transferring
That's just awful. Really really puts things in perspective when you see other programs struggling like that. I feel awful for Hinson."...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."Comment

At what point can we stop "feeling sorry" for Barry and start placing some of the blame for this on him?
All 5 of the players transferring are freshman or sophomores and to my knowledge are not at all associated with the previous coaching regime.
Barry is entering his 4th year. Time to start getting results.UNI FIGHT

This was a no-win for anybody that took this job after Lowery left, the APR mess was not going to be overcome by the first coach that took the job.
Barry is the sacrificial lamb here. Its Barry's fault that he was so desperate to be a head coach again that he took this job.
He'll get one more year and then be fired. They may very well go winless in the league next year.Comment

Re: Five SIU basketball players transferring
Can somebody fill me in on how the train ended up derailing under Chris Lowery? Was it due to the inability to recruit good players?Comment

Re: Five SIU basketball players transferring
I can't say he recruited bad players talent wise, he recruited players with a lack of desire to work both on the court and in the classroom, that is the biggest issue. No character means poor results.Comment

Re: Five SIU basketball players transferring
Chris fell in love with the number of stars next to guys names and recruiting rankings. He loved guys that were incredibly gifted offensively and went away from everything that made SIU who they were.
He then got desperate and brought in human scum that couldn't stay in school or out of trouble and put them into a place with the APR where the coach coming after him couldn't recruit kids with any chance of not being eligible or they would have lost a bunch of scholarships. If a transfer leaves in good academic standing, it doesn't hurt you. If one just flat drops or flunks out or quits, it kills you.Comment

Re: Five SIU basketball players transferring
(What - no one posted this yet?)
Barry needs to recruit Mrs. Hinson - I hear she knows how to rebound!!!
Do love Barry. Hope he stays around somewhere where we can hear him. Got the shaft at MSU.Comment

Re: Five SIU basketball players transferring
My buddy talks to Lavender. He would not say what but he did tell him that there are big troubles with the coaching staff. He said no one likes playing for him and he yells all the time and you can't do nuthing right. You know how kids are these days they want it to all be popsicles and rainbows. I think the coach needs some tougher players. I bet he goes after Dickenson from Iowa he needs a guard.Comment

Re: Five SIU basketball players transferring
Have the players transferring come out as to why? Could this be the fire from the smoke of the Illinois state government announcing significant cutbacks in the Southern Illinois system? Someone may have gotten to them about the cutbacks and that the school may not even be a Division I school in the near future. I don't know anything for certain but in reading the proposed cuts it looks like sports at Southern Illinois may be much different than they are currently.Comment

Re: Five SIU basketball players transferring
So, supposing SIU does get forced to DII, what does that do to the Valley? I hope this never happens because we have a lot of good rivalry-history with SIU, but for a topic to discuss...does the MVC have to bring in just one school like UAB? More/Less?Comment

Re: Five SIU basketball players transferring
The double round robin is an RPI disaster. It would suck to not get everybody at home every year, but I would love to go to 14.
UAB, Belmont, Murray State, Milwaukee/Denver/Valpo/Green Bay.Comment

I would think they would strongly consider playing fake football like drake does so they can play d1 basketball.Originally posted by EVSPanther View Post
