Was the attendance much less than you expected? Hard to say? I got the impression that it was really good right when the signing period started. Chandler and DT were very cordial and professional. It looked like they were about to take a picture with a fan's kid when I bounced.

I’ll take Morris over Littrell all day, at least at the timing of the decision. I think he is a better offensive coach and recruiter. The QB thing isn’t just a coincidence, and Littrell could only produce one which is part of what sunk him. That being said, I think it is extremely important that Mosley educate Morris on what went wrong with Littrell. Morris said almost verbatim what Littrell said when he hired a DC. That you get a guy “who is tough to coach against.” This move backfired in both cases, but especially with Morris where that 3-3-5 stack didn’t make as much sense against the offenses in this conference. Mosley should’ve been there to push back on that echo chamber stuff with the relevant example. Similarly Littrell went heavier on inexperienced portal guys with more eligibility when he could’ve benefited from adding more experience, especially defensively. Morris is going heavy HS which is good for building a foundation and those guys are less likely to transfer, but we also desperately need some ready to play guys. Particularly ones who you don’t have to suspend indefinitely to start the season. I think Morris does some things well and knows what it takes to run a quality team, but Mosley really needs to help educate him on where Littrell went wrong and push back on Morris if he’s thinking along the same lines in certain aspects. It doesn’t have to be the same movie with the same ending and Mosley needs to ensure it isn’t.

We have no go-to scorer right now in the season. If the 3's are not falling we struggle. Ross keeps wanting the ball pounded down low to draw fouls but we don't have good hands down low.

I hope this is just a bad half, especially for Wright and Floyd, because that was trash

6-24 shooting with 10 turnovers--a hard watch through 20 minutes.
