I think Briscoe really, really wants to come here but is losing sleep thinking about who he would be playing with if he comes. He must know that he could start a domino effect of recruits coming after he does, but they would all be freshmen and the team likely wouldn't do great. Briscoe seems to be a 1 and done, so he wouldn't have time to wait for a few classes. That's why the '14 class was so important. Get some good recruits and have them be veterans by the time Briscoe comes. But Lavin flat out failed. Now it may cost him Briscoe. I don't think we make the tourney this year but if any other fans had any doubt that he should be fired, not making the tourney really would be the final nail in his coffin IMO. Lavin is a great person and means well, but he just sucks as a coach.
And NJRedman, you are again confused. It's funny to me that you think me and the other guy are the same person. You are just shocked that two SJ fans can be stone cold realists who don't act as yes men on Redmen.com and pray to the altar of Lavin. You can be a fan of a team and admit the realities of that team. It's not against the rules.

Exactly, and I'm F'ing sick of this crap. We are a joke and it' puts me to shame being a sju fan. I just can't deal with it anymore.
I'm gone until Lavin is gone.
Peace.

You're the same person because you're the only two idiots who keep bringing up Redmen.com. You're the only posters who constantly complain about that site. You both keep bringing it up when anyone who disagrees with you, they are automatically "One of those yes men from Redmen.com". You dismiss those that disagree with you are yes men, yet your opinions should be respected. Thats the height of hypocrisy.
No one is defending Lavin and saying he can't do wrong. We're saying let the man have a chance to succeed or fail before you automatically label him a failure. You and your boy Realfan (who are one and the same) have already made your mind up, but that doesn't mean it's fact and set in stone. So yes, constantly derailing threads with the same chit over and over and over again is trolling. Now you and your other handle go crawl under a rock since you already know the season is over and let us watch how it plays out okay?

Let the man have a chance to succeed? The program now is in far worse shape then when he arrived. He has failed at recruiting, failed in basic X and Os, failed in player development ( just ask Jakar who made a good move getting out as he public ally stated that he didn't feel he developed as a player in the current system, and man did he improve since), has had several players that he recruited deemed ineligible , failed to make the tourney with his own players and got embarrassed at his home court in last years NIT. Why don't you answer this question, aside from recommending some good restaurants, what has he done right. Oh wait, I forgot, that would take some brains on your part as you would rather call people names and put others down. You are a class A fraud.
