DeJulius Thread: What I'm hearing

[isutrevman]

I’m meh on Dejulius unless we add some other good players to go along with him. He’s not good enough to chance the direction of the program by himself. Him needing a waiver also keeps my excitement a little down. I just see him as being a solid pickup but not a game changer.

No one we've recruited this entire spring cycle is good enough to change the direction of the program. Except MAYBE Carton if he is able to get back into basketball 100%.

For those who are interested here a highlight video of David DeJulius to get familiar with what he would bring. I see some Bolton skills with a better handle and feel for passing. His quick release and range is good also. I could really see him excelling under Prohm and ISU would fun back court to breath some life into Hilton.

Looks like we're getting a great one.

He will be really good with a sit out year. Better than solid.

Be a nice guy for TJ to have year 1

as much as you haters don't want to admit it, CSP isn't going anywhere for at least 2 years. More likely he turns it around and makes the tournament in 2 years than him getting fired after next season.

I think JP will be too cheap to give him the well-deserved firing after next season, but the other part is laughable. Coaches who tumble like Prohm has don't get things turned around. They tumble because they're bad.

If we have a year like we just did, I think there's a real possibility Steve could be gone.

The boat is taking on water, if this doesn't pan out it's going to sink.

I don't think it matters, in all honesty. Still hope we get him.

Haters? Don't be stupid.

If ISU doesn’t land this guy could we hit 30 losses next season?

 

[Rabbuk]

That would mean we win like 2 games. Seems unlikely

I don't think so. It's really, really hard to hit a # like that as a major conference program. It's theoretically possible, but the odds are that a program can buy 6-7 wins each year.

But, FAMU, so who knows? Probably not, but theoretically possible, but probably not.

At this point, I'd take DD, Walker and a couple sit out guys or one sit out and bank one. You'd get a couple nice pieces to make next year's team a little more competitive, give the young guys some exp ,then have a solid backcourt in DD and Bolton to try to load up for 21-22. A sit out big or mismatch type of 4 would fit really nice with that squad, Carton would be even better.

Or maybe they take a step back because they lost multi Pro level players in a short amount of time. Great recruiting class coming in, we land one or 2 of these transfers and we are back on track.

A step back isn't what Prohm took.

Every damn basketball thread turns into a prohm bash fest. We know he's struggling and we know he won't be fired next year so just continue to beat that dead horse!

Haters? Don't be stupid.

 

[Statefan10]

Dang.. Nixon's put on a little bit of weight since March. (KIDDING)

 

[alarson]

we know he won't be fired next year

We do?

No Marquette?

Not sure what Chris’ sources are, but most places I’ve looked have Marquette very much in play.
