Love the loser speak on this board. I would not want go into battle with these losers. Walton stated he choose UNC for their amazing fan support and basketball environment. Yeah, recruits know our fan base is lacking (at least that’s the perception). The always say die mentality on our most public message/information forums don’t help that perception.

You're not going into battle with anyone, you're rooting for a minor league sports team which does things the same failing way year after year. Teams with limited resources need to do things differently, and from what I've seen of the Ewing era, we refuse to try much new. Wait you’re invited to staff meetings? Or you just making stuff up to fit your narrative? Or are you actually delusional at this point?

It amazes me how thin skinned some fans are. This program finished one spot ahead of DePaul. Until it improves we are a has been. It’s only a slump if you can break out of it. It’s not thin skin, it’s about being decent people and not making things harder for the staff. It’s not about the posters it’s about the prospective recruits coming here expecting to find adults only to find this childish bickering and people like you constantly trying to twist and defend their lack of integrity. These aren’t professionals we’re rooting for, they’re kids. Show them some respect. No need to constantly bash them behind their backs when they play their hearts out for us year after year...were the adults who should hold each other to a higher standard.

In your view, did this year after year failing begin with Ewing or earlier than that? hoyatalk2.proboards.com/post/723988/thread

Thank you, Rockhoya!

Then we need two messages boards: 1. Lipstick on a Pig, where it‘s the ‘80’s all day long and recruits get a full dose of how we once ruled. 2. Cold Case, where results rule and excuses aren’t tolerated. Recruits could be walled off from the second board. That should really help things. 😉

Just as I thought. You blame Ewing for recruiting shortcomings but excused III. Why? "III has recruited all americans here. Just not consistently enough. To no fault but his own."

This smells to me like trump supporters blaming the MSM for reporting the facts. Did the Hoyas end up in second last? Did the program lose 4 players mid season? Has the staff missed out on its top recruits? That’s not being negative that’s pointing out the reality of the situation. If you don’t like that being pointed out I’d advise you sit it out and we will let the thin skinned fans know when the ship gets turned around. If it ever does. And I can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone on this board rip into a player on a personal level.

And I can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone on this board rip into a player on a personal level. No, to use your whack comparison you reek of Trumpers who forget they’re adults. The point is you’re an ADULT on an anonymous internet message board repeatedly bashing KIDS playing their favorite sports and criticizing them to feel better about yourself. You’re not some great poster reporting stuff to us that isn’t already commonly known so idk why you would compare yourself to a reporter. You keep saying you’re just “telling it like it is”, no you’re reiterating the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over. Everybody’s sh*t stinks, so why act like yours doesn’t? You’re the first to called someone “thin skinned” but if this was Info on one of your children or, *gasp* god forbid you out there that people couldn’t help but obsessively dissect over and over without even giving you a chance to go out there and make up for it (that’s what you not being patient enough to wait until the best season means) I’m sure you wouldn’t take it too kindly either. So you think it’s okay for grown adults to sit around all day and criticize these young men in a way that they’d never do to their face, but when posters try to stick up for them by calling out other adults that’s where you draw the line? Right. Do better. Beyond all that have some Editeding empathy, these are kids playing a sport in part because they enjoy it. Go to a Wizards message bird if you want to practice self-loathing. The kids don’t deserve that type of energy to constantly be thrust in their faces. You fall down, you pick yourself up and you move on. What you’re doing sounds a lot like falling and preparing to lay down forever. And your line laugh is so laughable and hard evidence that you’re gaslighting. Maybe that’s why your Trumpish suspicions are literally off by about the opposite smh.

OK this has drifted way off course, so I am closing it down. Try to stay on the topic of the recruits in threads on this forum, thank you.
