Almost every team in the top 25 has transfers in their starting 5. Rubin Jones started and played 29 minutes for Michigan yesterday. He'll likely start today in the BIG 10 finals. The other 4 starters for Michigan are first year transfer Goldin, first year transfer Wolf, first year transfer Donaldson, and 2nd year transfer Burnett. In other words, all transfers and 4 in their first season with Michigan and a new head coach.
St Johns won the Big East yesterday with two first year transfers starting, one of which is Aaron Scott, and two second year transfers also starting. Two of their bench rotational guys are first year transfers and their 3rd rotational guy transferred in two seasons ago.
I'm not going to excuse poor early season performance because transfers and chemistry and stuff. These highmajor schools make it work. Figure it out.
What kills me is the amount of teams winning with mid-major transfers when those same players couldn't make the big dance as an at-large at their mid-major schools. Why does a player gain more respect the second he puts on a Big East, Big 10, Big 12, or SEC patch? If Florida and Michigan win today, the AAC will have lost transfers who started for the Big 10, Big East, and SEC champions. Maybe the committee should start respecting where those players come from, not just where they've gone to.
I gave us a 7, which would be the same score I'd give if we lost today to Memphis. Winning the autobid...an 8. Any win in the Dance makes it a 9. Two wins or more...an unqualified 10.
If we were to win to make the NIT semis or final...probably an 8. Winning the NIT, the season is probably a 9.
Down 6-0 in the bottom of the 4th inning.
Skylar gives up 5 earned runs in 2 innings pitched. Relieved by Anderson.
We're not gonna win 30% of our conference games....if Skylar is our #1 pitcher.
A 9, which is about where we were projected to be in the AAC in preseason polls. Unless UAB upsets Memphis I expect Hodge to be AAC coach of the year. And who knows. If we have a better team next year maybe fewer fans will shown up than this year.
Yes they performed well but against a team with a pulse or competitive guard play they faltered. It’s remarkable what Hodge did with a roster of little talent from the outside looking in but according to Hodge himself the expectation within the program was to win the conference and we failed to do that.
Hodge is hungry for more and pissed for falling short. I am too.
