Lazeek Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 LU is terrible!!! They will be lucky to win 10-12 games this season!! Can you say.....Cya Roc!!!
Guest coachacola Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Instead of sucking in the 2nd half they decided to suck in the 1st half!!
Guest falcon83 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 why are they so bad? i thought they would have a break out year.

Guest falcon83 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 well maybe they turn it around.
AggiesAreWe Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 Losing to Marshall, what next?LAZEEK, 10 wins should be a goal for Lamar this year.I am sorry, but I'll say it again, Roc just don't got it!
tyree Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 I think Roc does get it. And I think this team will be better by conference. Did we really think we could go on the road against 4 D1 teams with a starting line-up of two sophs, a new JC transfer, and a forward and center that didn't play at all last year and win? Guys, its still November. The shooting is disappointing, but we know we have great athletes in Miles and Harper...if they could shoot from behind the arc, they wouldn't be here (they were a combined 8 for 25 last night)...I guess Roc thinks you can teach shooting but athleticism is what it is. Maybe Minor and Mathis will be the answer as shooters...and IF we get Hall back that will only help. I'm still onboard and believe in what Roc is doing...many have posted here over recent years that we needed to recruit out of high school and take our lumps and be patient...well?????

Now, you have no excuse. And as far as Miles, he's an average player but he hasn't shown the skills to take a team anywhere. He's not quick enough for the point and too small on the wing with lack of athleticism. All I gotta say is I hope he has some kids graduating this season..... ;)
Guest coachacola Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Miles is only about 6 foot tall but he's already had a couple of double-doubles, not bad at all. The SLC has a lot of undersized guards so LU should be fine come conference play. It's too early to give up on this team, but if they start losing a lot of home games in December then it probably will be a long season.

Now, on defense I can see his where his quickness is beneficial to the team.
Guest falcon83 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Guys do you see Lamar making the top three in the slc?
badndn Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 So for all you naysayers out there...Who is the Senior leader on this team? Who is the one guy that returned from last year on this young team and played well down the stretch last year? Who was the one guy that was consistent during conference play and could be the go to guy when the team is in a rutt?ASHTON HALLYou guys forget he was not even on the road trip. The team was going to struggle with him, but without him if any of you thought they would be able to go on the road and win you are insane and looking through rose colored glasses. This team was built to grow. Ton's of youth with athleticism, but no real experience and or leadership. Ashton will make a difference, but I don't expect this team to win the SLC. Realistic goals pre-season were to make the SLC tournament and I still see that happenening. This team can go .500 in the SLC and gain valuable experience for next year and the next three years.
Guest falcon83 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 I hope your righ cuz and maybe they can get it turned around.

BLUEDOVE3 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 Hmm? I thought coaches usually start building their teams the first 3 years and by year four and five, those same youth begin to show their experience on the court? Again, maybe it's the conditioning of players that could be a problem. I personally know that Oklahoma has a good conditioning program. Their players were up about 5:00 runiing and in the weight room prior to the start of Fall classes.
Guest coachacola Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 Roc was bringing in almost all JUCOs his first couple of years as the head coach. I think Roc recruited Nwevo when Tubbs was the coach, and Custer is another freshmen and he redshirted as a freshman. I think McThay played as a freshmen, left and played a year in JUCO, then came back. I can't think of any other freshmen he signed until Miles and Harper last year. This year there are 5 freshmen and 4 freshmen will be on the team next year. He's finally bringing in mostly freshmen so we'll see how that pans out.
