I really liked the Fielder over Clingan

Two things with Clingan is his ability to stay out of foul trouble, as well as his passing out of doubles (most often on mismatches) and hitting a player for an easy basket.

Awful shot, lucky make... never try it again, please... or whatever... Yet, Heath has made quite a few of that exact shot this year. Yep, we don't need the points. You're right. Be serious. He hasn’t made quite a few of those.

is there any way to turn this around next season? Lose Big, rinse, repeat… We are not built to compete with top level college teams right now. Cooley inherited a steaming pile. If he can turn this around in one more year, I will be absolutely shocked.

is there any way to turn this around next season? Cooley has his recruits coming next year (only Fielder of the three came with him). But, incoming 4 have 2 top recruits in a really good guard and a big. Also have a good forward and one other, whom I don't know much about. Hoyas have been the youngest team on the court in all the BE games, that will start to change. Hoyas are playing against not only more mature teams but also teams that have 2 or more players who started together last year. Only having 2 players who had okay playing time with the Hoyas last year really wasn't going to be a fact that would have anybody thinking this would be a great season and being good could be a challenge. Cooley and his staff have been really good pulling players in the transfer portal to fill in slots. Cooley and his staff have been solid recruiters and have deep recruiting books. His best recruit for next year, Mulready was going to Providence and switched. The most promissing as far as scoring is McKenna, who moved his high school graduation up and has been at Georgetown this semester as a redshirt. Keep in mind all of these players are young, but it is building to a good future. Hoyas are out of Ewing's player rental agency with panic recruiting. It takes time ot have this make a difference. Adding a seasoned big and depth at point could help from transfer portal.

He hasn't taken many of those, maybe 8 to 10, but has made 5 or 6. It is a Points are points and that is a decent shot for Heath. Heath mostly drives all the way and struggles or shoots 3s. His above elbow is a little less successful, but an okay shot. I'm not sitting around and being angry about everything, but paying attention to what works and doesn't.

Who is excusing them? It's awful. They've said it's awful. We've said it's awful. Grandmas at the local nursing home have said it's awful. DePaul even says we're awful on defense. Year 1 for this staff was a failure. I don't think anyone is disputing that. It's not changing this season. There's reason to believe they're about to invest heavily in the roster in the next 60ish days. You know via historical performance that this staff has rebuilt teams. They have a lot to prove this offseason. I keep hearing about how they have the experience to rebuilt teams. When was the last time they rebuilt a team? Before the new Big East which is old now... Btw, how old is our coaching staff? Do we have young assistants? Cooley has a lot of senior assistants (all but 2) who have been with him a longtime. He has Ivan Thomas (great DMV recruiter who was HC for Boo Williams for a long time and is a solid recruiter and in game coach) and LaDontae Henton who is on bench and player development. Both of these guys are under 40 (maybe 45). The junior coaching staff is good size, which is a Cooley thing to mentor and bring coaches along, and nearly all of these are under 30 or 35, which many in their 20s.

This is what's needed. For an arrogant, competitive coach like Cooley, getting your butt kicked is what's needed. It forces you to get out there and recruit, look under every rock, make connections, do what needs to be done to get GU back where it belongs...
It's going to be okay folks...we will take our licks, but once things start rolling watch out...

You aren't an idiot, you are frustrated when things aren't working. I block the idiots to keep the board sane. Been on the board since it was on the board prior to this. I get your frustration, but no need take it out on others. Pointing out Heath is decent with that shot and you get nasty. That is poor form all around.
