What's your take on the situation? #HammerDown
Re: Tolbert sitting out this season
I think LBs quotes about needing 60 hrs are window dressing. It may be true, but the bigger deal is our front court in '15-'16. His being redshirted has everything to do w/him getting more burn, and being a focal point next year, than having to do w/graduating from SMU.
Re: Tolbert sitting out this season
I am not sure if this was in response to my post, but I was addressing the specific poster who said he would graduate this year before ever playing here. I understand the reasons for wanting him here next year and was hoping he would not get to play this year.
Re: Tolbert sitting out this seasonI don't see MK here after this coming season. I'm fearful of now losing Tolbert but I think he needs a "marquee" year as hoopman said. I was REALLY hoping to see he and MK on the floor together though.

Re: Tolbert sitting out this season
I just don't see him staying around this long. We'll see and I hope I am wrong...............Hey, that's a nice rhyme.........
Re: Tolbert sitting out this seasonFriar, where is a 6'7, undersized PF, going?
Re: Tolbert sitting out this season
It was probably direct more at me. #HammerDown
Re: Tolbert sitting out this season
I see what you are saying and I have to admit that looking at the situation we do need him more next year than this year. #HammerDown
Re: Tolbert sitting out this seasonI agree with Hoopman 100%. There's a standard of quality that is going to be set between last year and this year. Need to feather the drop a bit, when you start doubling ticket prices and expectations, you expect the product to do the same. SMU isn't cashing in on the DFW talent in this 2015 class at the moment, I don't see anyone that I would even consider SMU among the favorites to land. Without replacing what they're losing, LB is buying himself another year of being good to hopefully restock in the next cycle.
Don't get me wrong, I think LB is going to land some fine players in 2015, but not players that can replace what is outgoing. The 2015-16 year will have to be a good team in order to show recruits that this is here to stay and pull in the 2016 crop as well as keep the fans happy as they see the price of attendance continue to rise.
Re: Tolbert sitting out this season
Its just a long time with a lot of classes in between to have to get through to get to play again.........
Re: Tolbert sitting out this season
The first part I agree with. On the second, you want to re-evaluate that.
Re: Tolbert sitting out this seasonWhy wouldn't we be very good next year, even with JUST the pieces we have now? (I'm assuming the front court losses is what everyone is referring to - Yanick and MK).
We will still have next year MOST LIKELY: Nic (will he leave after this coming season?) Ben Moore (I expect a monster year by then) Sterling Sed Ben E Tolbert Add just 1-2 quality front court players (Baptiste?) and I like it. Don't get me wrong, I was REALLY bummed about Hogg and Davis (not sure what's going on, why they passed on SMU, but I still see us being a top 25 type team with that line up).
Re: Tolbert sitting out this season
Yanick and MK are going to be huge pieces this year. You don't replace an all-conference caliber player in Kennedy and not have a drop-off, just reality. He may not even be all-conference, he may be the conference POY. He became a very good basketball player over the course of last season. And Yanick is going too, thins the front line out a good amount, and he's having a huge sumer. Fully expect him to get his rotation spot back if not even get his starting spot back. Kid's good. It's not as if SMU is going to all of a sudden be a lot worse, but front-court is going to seriously suffer those losses. Any team would.
Re: Tolbert sitting out this seasonSo I have read the rumor mills saying that Kennedy may not be eligible and Yanick may not come back to school. How do we look then.
All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand
Re: Tolbert sitting out this season
Is your rumor mill Ponyfans?
