You only get so many shots to get those guys on the floor and you need to take them. Important for culture.

Iām cool with getting them in, but not at the 2:00 minute mark. If we want to put them in, take a timeout and sub them in at 30 seconds.
Again, realize this is very minor, but itās just so weird to me for guys like McCorkle to finally get time and then get subbed out with significant game time remaining.
Much more importantly though, awesome second half. Go Hoos!

More importantly Taineās 3mins showed why heās
Not playing. I just donāt get why Iāve watched top 75ish guys perform for the past several days and ours, well, I donāt get it. Iām already tempering expectations for the fab 4 next year outside of Traudt.

Dude the rankings are meaningless. He never played against any other top 75 recruits. He was overrated. He was overhyped on this board. Itās simple.
Edit: he might turn out to be a stud. I still have hopes. Guys need to temper expectations though.

Iād feel better if we get Dunn here in January. Traudt is gonna be a stud though
I really donāt understand the McCorkle and Taine love, guys, can someone explain? I mean, very limited minutes but I donāt understand what expectations are I guess. When they signed I was like, āmehā, am I missing something?

I never understood the hype around taine. I mean I understand it, because thatās what message boards do, but the guy literally never did anything to justify it. He never saw the court against āgrown ass menā when he was on a pro team.
But hereās a thought: heās a really talented guy whose development has been set back by COVID. Additionally, he is an international and thatās a whole separate adjustment. Heās going to be fine guys. But he isnāt ready. Itās okay.

Someone should tell brad that Carson needs to go make some cuts with purpose like Malachi does

I read pretty much everything on this board and someone did post that he is (MCCorkle) actually right in line with expectations. But I genuinely donāt know if I am missing something else, was he expected to be an amazing player?

I only take brads post as a positive. He understands development doesnāt happen overnight. Much better than a certain social media post from a relative back in 2017ā¦

Some had him penciled in as the next Kyle guy. He reclassified. Should be a 1st year. Heās going to be ok too. Especially if his attitude is as good as his dadās is.

You could sense some frustration there with Taine. Coming in at garbage time he seemed to be just trying to get a bucket, forcing it instead of playing within the flow. Iām sure itās tough for him right now. They had him working as a forward out of necessity, but now are trusting Igor more there which was always how it was intended to be. Meanwhile and maybe partially because of that, heās fallen way behind in the guard pecking order.

Thatās rough on him, Kyle Guy was an All American right? Thatās really not fair, and if heās a first year then this is a great experience for him and he could potentially develop even more in coming years, good to know. Also it puts things in perspective as far as expectations, at least for me.
