When you put it that way, it sounds a little more appetizing. Is it really only a 5 million dollar hit though in replacing Prohm at the end of the year?
What to do with Coach Prohm Poll..
- Thread starter ClonesTwenty1
- Start date

As long as these seven are back next year...
Harris
Jackson
Hunter
Bolton
Hinson
Johnson
Foster
...then I am not sure any of our departures would be net negatives.
Of course, you can afford to have most of your freshman class not pan out when you're an established program who can reliably recruit superior replacements. If the Walker-Blackwell-Dubar-Foster class is mostly a dud, and it is so far, then we really have no hope for the future and Prohm will be given a cardboard box to pack up his stuff.
Conditt has not performed at Big XII caliber level as a junior, and I don't see it happening anytime soon. I can see him transferring.
Well sure, no one wants to lose big 12 talent. our problem is we dont have any big 12 contributers riding the bench. None of our big 12 level caliber players are buried in the depth chart. We have 4 players averaging 12 pts or more, and then our next guy is at 5.9 points, 1.3 rebounds, and less than one assist and steal per game.
Yes, and that is why I don't have him on the list.
Conditt hasn't developed. Solomon might call it a career. Foster is coming back from surgery.
Foster really needs to come back and pan out.
Manufacturing Big 12 big men out of thin air is virtually impossible, but we might have to do it. :/
its pointless to worry about what players are, or aren't on the team.
if you can't coach defense, can't rebound, can't develop chemistry, etc...it just doesn't matter.
that's the problem.

The problem is believe this team has talent and should have a better record than what we currently have. I do not think the non conference can get much easier, I mean we have lost to some awful awful teams. The man cannot coach at this level, and remember he was handed the keys to the kingdom twice, his first year at murray the roster was loaded as well.
We are actually a pretty experienced team when looking at our key players years in college:
2 Years- Jackson
3 years - Bolton, Conditt, Harris
4 years - Johnson
5 years - Coleman Land, Young
I like the athleticism of our 4 freshman, but the only one whose on court play has indicated he is a future starter is Foster. The other 3 haven't shown much offensive skill.
Yes. You have to go 7 deep to find a freshman. Our top 6 in minutes per game have an average of 3.6 years in college basketball.
Kentucky for example is 2.16. 3 players are freshman. 1 sophomore, and 2 seniors.
I think texas tech is at 2.83.
If you take offense to using 5 years for players like young, we are still at 3.33.
Pay the $5M and be done with it. I’m just worried about who Pollard would pick to replace him with.
I think you have to amend that when it comes to Grill at this point. Shooting 39% from 3 at UNLV this year and averaging 3 makes a game. 11.7 points per game for UNLV as a soph seems like a lost contributor to me.
I would have rather kept Grill than not.
Then again, he is doing that on a team that is 1-6 (only win over Kansas State, somehow) and just got 0-2'd by Colorado State and our old pal Niko. BT has UNLV as the #132 best team in the country.
BT has the Mountain West as the 11th best country nationally, behind all P6 conferences plus the American, WCC, the A-10, and the Missouri Valley Conference. It is only just ahead of C*USA.
If we were receiving a transfer *up* of a volume scorer from one of the worse teams in the worst mid-major conference, we would rightfully be skeptical if he was going to be able to contribute in the Big 12.
Grill is probably the best example you could find, but the case is pretty weak. He's at the right level now.
Grill isn't Wesley Johnson, who would eventually terrorize the old Big East and get picked in the lottery.
That’s the point! You better have someone better in mind or we become like so many schools, searching over and over for the miracle coach. exhibit A - Nebraska football.
Even when you make the consensus "right pick" and lauded by the national media for it, well, then you can still be completely and utterly wrong. Which sets your program back another 5-10 years.
Chizik for Iowa State was one of those. Frost is currently one for Nebraska.
Gee - kinda think Campbell and staff like to take recruits to exciting, winning basketball games at Hilton when they host them?
Don't agree. There are many, many very good or great basketball coaches waiting to be contacted. They don't have to be "names" that fans easily recognize.
Example: Pat Knight and his staff were fired from TTech - who knew that a little known asst on that staff - Chris Beard - was 10 times the coach that Pat was.
And Beard was hired as HC later on; I would call the result a "miracle."
