Please elaborate!

This is where I am. I’ll be extremely disappointed and angry if we don’t snag a couple sharpshooters. I have no faith next season will be much better without a couple. We’ve seen this story every year recently. The pickups so far are great and I’m happy with them, but for crying out loud FIND US A REAL SHOOTER OR TWO!!

No offense, but I think the comment about efficiency is common sense. However, your ceiling is limited if you don’t have shooters. We’ve seen and complained about this game for how many years now? If the argument is that guys like MM, Carlyle, and Rice will improve enough to raise our ceiling, fair enough, but I think that’s a risky proposition. Sure would be nice to secure a sharp shooter that can benefit from guys that are able to attack and distribute the basketball. Otherwise teams will pack the paint and say good luck.

Don’t necessarily disagree we’ll be better but you can’t win big (i.e. go far) without shooters. We’ve seen it over and over again. Not saying we don’t want these guys. Just saying there better come some shooters with them or we’ll all be griping again during the season next year.

People are overreacting because we need shooters and one that they were told was coming here just committed to Cincinnati. So we still don’t have a shooter correct, going on how many years? Ballo alone doesn’t fix any problems, and I’m not of the opinion that Carlyle does either.

And I hope he keeps shooting and we can rely on that. But man he needs to improve on D and on the boards.

I’m tired of relying on guys that haven’t proven to be consistent. We need the sure thing…. get a couple proven shooters please. I’m hesitant on MM bc if he can’t play D, or rebound at a high rate from the 3-4 he can be more of a liability. I’m not willing to sacrifice those things for his 4.9 attempts per game. And just no on Gallo. Love everything else about him, but no. JMO.

Slow your roll DC! I edited my post 20 secs after my GIF to clarify what I was referring to and you were on top of it faster than flies on …..😂. I’m not questioning or doubting your info or that’s the way it will be. I just don’t like it.

Wrong for not trusting MM to be a knock down shooter like we need?

To the first part….

Reportedly going to make $5.5MM per year. Not even getting a discount. Crazy.

We need more than just one shooter…. my two cents.

Are you giving out 20 points?

I get it, but it’s totally opinionated. Record alone doesn’t speak to the quality or lack of quality from a coach.

You okay? Pretty aggressive reply to a respectable poster over a simple possibility.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to have Tucker after losing out on Liam, but no way I’d “rather” have Tucker. We need shooters, and we lost a better shooter. Maybe it works out better if we snag a couple shooters in the portal, but given what we need more than anything, disappointing we lost Liam.

That stinks….

I’m obviously not in the know, so I’m speaking of the fans, what most of us have talked about wanting. But to what I think your point is, Woody may not even have that plan, and he knows better than us right? I probably shouldn’t say “we” anyway bc I’m not a true fan since I won’t eat turds or give up testicles.

💯

Yeah, it’s a tricky proposition for us! We want to play 4 out, 1 in but Malik doesn’t fit this style. Don’t mean to dog on Malik, but we can’t play the way we want to with him on the floor. We need an athletic rim protector that can also shoot it decent and rebound AND a couple lights out shooters on the floor with Malik in the rotation. JMO.

I agree, but I’m a KY guy. I didn’t grow up hating Purdue. I grew up hating, and still do, Kentucky at an unhealthy level.

I’m not eating turds or giving up my left testicle for anything basketball related!

No, which means I must not be a “true” fan.

I’m never eating a turd.
