Recruiting, Moneyball-style

[Herndon]

The first two that come to mind are the Pistons and Knicks with Harper.

Bingo. Remember those Pistons teams didn't really get going until 86-87 when they landed Rodman and Salley, and even then they were one team in the league.

I like how the staff has been building this team piece by piece so far. 2017 wishlist? A low post player and a PG to develop behind/alongside of Otis (getting Moultrie would be a coup).

 

[Vurbel]

2017 wishlist? Anything that doesn't involve the play-in game.

 

[Steve33]

2017 Wishlist? more than 4 road wins, a winning record at home and NO PLAY IN GAME!!!

No Play in game would equal a successful season for me.

 

[Bricker]

Championship game.

Bring back Gunston and the T-Shirt Guy and The Green Machine does a version of Hey Ladies by the Beastie Boys.

 

[GreenLantern]

My wish list: No play in game. See marked improvement over the course of the season. Finish close to .500

If Mason plays on Thursday that would be a great achievement. If they won a game, I'd be very satisfied.

I see no reason why that goal cannot be achieved this year, as well as 2-4 more wins overall.

Agreed! .500 and I will be delighted.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

I hope no Transgenders play on the men's team but lots on the women's team.

Hmmmmm... you may be on to something here. Our beloved basketball team's fortunes took a nosedive shortly after Gunston was deposed for a new mascot. We've remained in the cellar since. Coincidence?? Hmmmmm...

Even Gunston couldn't have staved off Hewpocalypse.

Perhaps "The Shirtless Dancer" and Big Red can speed up the return to glory.

The Patriot was on the sidelines the last time we won a game in the NCAA tourney. I am thinking the drop off was due to something else.

 

[Herndon]

I'll be honest, it's Gunston or Herndon. The two cannot coexist. (I recall drunkenly screaming "What the %#(* are you supposed to be!?" at Gunston as a young man)

Also, .500 would be a HUGE achievement.

Mikey the Chimp has to be invited back and perform at halftime.

ACW has to be ...well..you know..
