Ultimately can't really disagree with this (might quibble that some have developed well, but that's clearly outweighed by too many misses), and I'm not going to try to gaslight anyone that success is likely. But, as Lloyd (Jim Carrey) said, I'm telling you there's a chance...
Terrence Lewis transferring
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
This sucks, but at least these were back-of-the-bench guys on a good team.
I remember when we had a future All-American transfer on us.
That was brutal.
Prohm's seat is rightfully warm right now, but he is still better than McD ever was.

grill and Lewis leaving swayed you, not losing by 30 at Hilton and getting beat by Florida School of the Blind at Hilton?
He is also worse than McDermott ever was. He has 2 seasons now with less wins than McDermott's lowest win total.
Uh, or to make one (see dunk in Big 12 tourney) followed by giving up one (flex the crowd as competitor player zooms past on way to game winning bucket at the other end) in essentially the same play or sequence.
Shallow metric.
McD played 16 games in conference. Prohm plays 18.
The Big 12 used to have a lot of junk, hopeless programs at the bottom. No longer.
McD never played an OOC schedule like the one we just played, too.
Put the best McD team on the court versus the 2018 or the 2020 Prohm teams, and I bet the set of them are all pretty evenly matched with one another.
Not even close
Again, McDermott beat 1 RANKED TEAM in whatever the 6 years he was here.
Honestly you can gripe that you don't have Big 12 players, but then you can't be pissed when those non-big 12 players leave. I'm willing to give the guy one more recruiting cycle, but Grill got plenty of opportunities and couldnt shoot. Griffen and Lewis never could get it together. Willing to take a chance on a new crop for next year but with a short leash.
In this scenario, my concern is that it seems to take Steve awhile, longer than many, to settle on a line-up as he puts the pieces together. I think he can mold a team but it takes a while. It seems like he sticks with his original plan on line longer than others, before experimenting with different starting line-ups for sure, and to some extent combinations.
My question will be if his loyalty to his coaching staff gets in the way of him making any changes there?

This says it all.
We all know that Lewis isn't up to the Big 12, and neither was Griffin. It's that we don't have a conference-ready roster at all.
What is Prohm’s coaching style? He’s not a player’s coach, he’s not an old school demander, he doesn’t preach the little things, and I always felt like he overcoached on the sidelines instead of letting players play.
I think players nowadays want a head coach with a style and I have no clue what Prohm’s is. I think he is a nice guy, but so was Wayne Morgan.

While i agree Solomon is our best muscle in the post, he actually showed some outside range the past few years. I wouldn't be any more nervous of him shooting a three than Pete.
He doesn't seem to have a close relationship with players. Seems to text rather than meet with players. Doesn't usually speak with them when they come off the court or coach what they did wrong.
For the record, as of today, 8 of the 17 guys he has recruited out of HS/JC and who have made it to campus have transferred out of the program. That's a lot of misses.
