Prairie View A&M (12/23/14)

If you can get past the first season, I know an impossibility, he has been very MEH. While not great, MEH is light years better than when you include the 1st year.

Unfortunately for Benford, he convinced Mitchell and Jones to stay. If those two would have left immediately, expectations would have been lowered and the whole story may have changed. Hard to tell if Benford would have been blamed for them leaving, but I suspect that if they would have left he may not have been in the same jam he is in with the fanbase.

I am pulling for the team to go .500 or better (somehow) during conference so we don't have to go through another hiring process.

I really like our home conference schedule. I am hoping to make most of them if possible and as long as we are at least being competitive.

Meh to bad. This year is his last chance at being decent, IMO. As it is, we live and die by whether or not the opposing team is hitting simple outside jumpers. We are terrible on offense, and we're losing our one double digit scorer (Jordan Williams) and our number 2 option (TJ Taylor).

Combs is a good player, but he's 6'6", less than 200 lbs, and has extremely limited range. Not really a guy you run an offense through. And Aniefiok is a good shooter and scorer, but he is not as good at creating his own offense. Reese being good will be huge, but even he isn't a point guard who has had good assist numbers.

Basically, if something is going to happen for Benford then he needs to have it happen this year.
