Guys, I can't believe the new attitude around here; its hard to imagine all the fighting and complaining that was going on here just a few short months ago. God that was a dismal, depressing time. Thank you Freddy and TJ and to Jamie for taking the chance.
If anyone is missing the in-fighting -- go over to CR, it's rampant. Best not to post, just watch.

I see next season as training camp for 2011.

I see quotes like that and it makes me sick, We might as well redshirt the whole team. I'm as happy as anyone else about getting Babb, White, and Allen, but shouldn't we at least give the seniors some help so that we can win this year. I dont want to wait til 2011 I want to be competitive now, but I guess all of you guys can just sit on your hands and wait 18 months to see us possibly win, I will be curious to see how evryone is doing this winter when Kansas and K-state are beating us by 20 on our home court, I sure hope Fred can coach us up.

We're throwing in the towel in 2010 because we have transfers becoming eligible in 2011? Hahaha.

Does that mean Creighton and every other NCAABB program is throwing in the 2011 recruiting towel because they're recruiting kids from the 2012 class? I don't see the correlation at all, that's such a stupid comment from Perrault.

A plane on a treadmill will take off.
Soccer is stupid.
All was well in the basketball program before McD left.
We should expand the south endzone.
When is baseball coming back?
People should sit down/stand up at games.
Can we make hockey a sport?
Young people have ruined Hilton Magic
Old people don't cheer hard enough.
We never should have fired Dan McCarney.

Just read the tweets by sportstalkmatt and the "throwing in the towel" comments were from writing off the coming year to focus on 2011. Duh. I guess he just figured that out. Players like Anderson who could contribute this year are extremely rare and all the JUCOs who had enough talent to contribute right away were already locked up before Freddy was even given the job. So Freddy concentrated on transfers that won't be eligible until 2011, what was he supposed to do?

I don't see this as throwing in the towel. I think a lot of people underestimate how much it's going to benefit this team to practice against quality, proven major conference D-1 players everyday in practice. In the last few years we have really lacked quality depth, and going up against guys in practice who are not B12 level talent really hinders player development. Having a practice squad who can really push the current players will really pay off as the year goes on.

I certainly don't mean we are giving up on the team. I mean that everyone focuses on getting better...experience and skills. Realistically, as a fan, I know we likely won't be world-beaters. As a player, I wouldn't concede anything, though.

All I am trying to get across is I hope the closer the season gets the more we concentrate on the players we have on the floor and not players on the practice squad

I think we will. We will hear reports of how players are performing in practice, but we'll get to see for ourselves how the eligible guys are playing/improving. I love that, even when the team isn't very good.

I hate to be negative because I am all for Fred, but who knows what the attitudes of the guys are like? Usually when they transfer it is just the coach that the players don't like, but the players have some issue too. A lot of these guys have that. Do we really know if they are being positive and will have good attitudes and play hard when the 2010 and 2011 seasons roll around. I hope so.

I wasn't impressed with the body language and fight our players showed in the Cap. city league. I don't care if it is just summer ball. Show some pride when you are getting dominated.

I hope and I think Fred will be a Chemistry guy. I can't wait to watch and learn how he does it!

2010-2011 team will be great. I think they are going to have special season.

DG
JVB
Scotty
Phillips
Anderson
Ejim
Bubu

I think we have mixture of very mature experienced players along with young fresh players. We are going to have good season. People who thinks we are throwing a towel by signing these transfers can suck it.
