I didn't. I said we were two years away. It's going to take time to get guys to believe in USC basketball enough to come here and play. We are a state that doesn't produce the greatest basketball talent, and don't have the prestige to go out of state and convince guys to come to USC... It's amazing that coach has made the guys he brought in his first year playing as well as they are. We were largely out "talented" tonight, but these guys have progressed well enough to play with those guys. I know some people here don't know basketball, but anyone that does knows we have a heck of a coach... It's that simple...
Did you copy and paste this from a post at the end of last season?
True, the SEC is as tough as it's been in a while, and we've hung with most teams. Last years team wouldn't have done so. The team from two years ago would be dead last in the SEC. You'd have to know basketball to see the improvement, but there's no doubt, this program has improved a lot. Just need a few more additions, and Martin will have us in it for years to come...That's easy to see...
Strictly speaking, we could still have a winning season. Beat Tennessee and we're at 0.500 (and also have more overall and conference wins than last year), then make the SEC quarterfinals and we're guaranteed to be one game over.
I usually agree with your posts bro, but I believe you will see an entirely different team next season with Dozier and Bunch in the mix. When is the last time we got a McDonalds All American and a center at 6'11 with that size as a high school senior?
We were supposed to be much improved with Notice, Henry, and Sindarius having experience. Plus, add on Martin's first recruiting class and time under his tutelage, this team was supposed to much improved according to many on here. 's.
Hahaha, exactly. He thought Horn was the right guy for the job and thought he needed more years. Zero credibility for the OP.
You certainly have a right to your opinion, but since you were one of the vocal proponents of keeping Horn as basketball coach -- don't deny it, because people remember -- you ought to dispense with the attitude that people who disagree with you are stupid about basketball. You lost all credibility a few years ago on that score.
It's a skill that can't be improved too much by coaching. That is something that is totally up to player to work on hours and hours a day and still improvement is not guaranteed. It still doesn't change the fact that you need everyone to play good defense, The rebounders need to do their job, ball movement needs to be able to make defenses work. That stuff all has to be sorted out first before you worry about what kind of shooters you have.
