So... Too Early to Talk About Next Year?

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

If this goes on for a few months I will expect minimal improvement from anyone.

Well in that case, neither will any other team so it all evens out.

Can we quarantine Calixte in a gym to shoot free throws?

Can we quarantine Calixte in a gym to shoot free throws?

Unfortunately he's already infected with ShaqVid-19.

Without starting a new thread, each member of the team should be quarantined where? Some serious, some tongue in cheek.

Calixte - gym shooting free throws
Oduro - weight room
Hartwell - growth specialist
Miller - aggression therapy & leadership training with General Patton
Greene - anger management & attitude adjustment with Dr. Phil
Wilson - dining hall to put on weight, proteins though, we need him to keep his leaping ability.
Johnson - gym shooting mid range and 3 pointers
Haidera - no one knows
Mar - therapy with Stuart Smalley, because hey, people like me.
All 3 freshmen - EBA learning how to make shots there, we know everyone makes them in practice!
DP - with Pitino learning about hookers and how to coach.

Our campus is “open” but all the buildings are card access only. I think the athletes can workout in pairs only (no more than two) that is if they didn’t just stay home during spring break.

Well in that case, neither will any other team so it all evens out.

And we remain 5-13.

And the coach is calling out players and their families for not being patient and trusting the development process.

They’ve got bigger problems than we do.

So if Kier and Boyd don't return, that means we have an open scholarship right? I'm assuming Jack isn't getting that scholarship again if we can find someone else to use it.

Do we just hold that on the chance that Kier will be able to get a medical hardship waiver and wants to return? If not, what do we target?

We may end up with more scholarships open anyways. Unfortunately, due to the virus, we likely won't hear much news unless we sign someone.

Why not give the open scholarship to Boyd if he wants it. Sorry Kier.

Recruiting is what it is at this point, a light isn’t just going to go off to make Dave a better recruiter. We will continue to occasionally beat out CAA teams for recruits. Some will say it’s improving, hopefully everyone will agree that it’s still not good enough to compete in the A10.

I think recruiting will only get harder at this point. Who wants to play for a school/coach that never wins or dances

He doesn’t want it. Jeebus we’ve been over this a million times.

Hey maybe it isn't too early to talk about next year, but it's extremely depressing thinking about another lackluster season.

The real question is: Is it too early to talk about the 2021-2022 season with Head Coach Tony Skinn?

Same people who have wanted to do it the past 4 years, people without better options.

The pessimism on this board is nauseating even if understandable. Total downer especially during a pandemic.

Paging. @GiantKiller_Co , would totally read a listicle like this for the whole A10. Or just Mason. Or listen to it on a podcast.

Great idea, we need to pump something funny to help distract. We'll try and get something out shortly

For those of you who don't know my reference to Stuart Smalley in my post above. Daily Affirmation.

You have said that Paulsen could have had "blank" if he wanted but chose "blank" instead. I am just assuming that is true for any target that Dave whiffs on that his A10 level offers and chooses a better A10 school than us

The only two situations I recall suggesting we picked one player over another were Oduro/Paar and XJ/Young.

Blakney picked Dayton. Huge difference.

Those were the two I was referencing. I’d personally take the two that paulsen didn’t choose. Would have loved both young and XJ instead of daddy but who am I to question it. All I know is Young was a baller this year and I personally saw Paar take Oduro to school at GW.

@Dawgs99 I didn't watch the GW home game as I was working in California that week. I am glad Oduro had his best game then. Didn't see it, didn't look it up so I don't comment on things like that. I comment on what I personally see or know. Sorry I missed that game, wish I could have seen more than 1 live where Oduro was effective.
