point of clarification:this is Doherty's 5th year not 4th. He is asking us to wait until 6th year for freshman, 7th year for them to mature and 8th year for them to compete-at least

Great point. My concern is that only a few of these kids are actually going to be eligible and have the chance to play. If my concerns come to fruition, we are talking 9 or 10 years before anything happens on the court.

Our kids are incredibly soft, but that doesn't mean you say it. He recruited the frontline or lack there of. We're also soft b/c we forced out our enforcer(mook) and didn't have anyone other than Frog, qualify. Again, that's on the staff

What a great way to show the new signees how we treat our players. Don't worry about the next class coming in Doh will run them off before they start class. What a total lack of coaching and relating to the players.

I agree with everybody's comments! I've attended every home football game for years and many b-ball games until last year when I finally saw no light at the end of the tunnel with Doh.

I watched part of the game last night. First, we had lots of open looks and some good passing, but couldn't hit the shot when open-that's the good news. Anything under 45% from outside on clean looks is unacceptable for a Division 1 team. Free throws- guards should shoot free throws at 75%, minimum. Not sure what the percentages were, but we were missing them when I watched. Attendance. I hope the Frogs didn't have the BE reps at the game. CrossTown Rival and empty arena. They won't get an all sports invite with that kind of hoops support. Defense, there is no excuse for the uncontested shots that TCU had from the perimeter. Either our guards don't know how to switch on picks or they don't know how to fight through a pick, but clearly that was a softness issue. Again, every Division 1 guard should know how to fight through a pick and should know how to handle a simple switch, its taught from kids level to AAU. So, my view is that this is going to be a long season for this team unless the overseas guys get cleared and then there will be time needed to get them into game readiness and assimilated. I suspect Moody will be a tomb this year for men's hoops.

Much like SMU, after several disastrous years with Dougherty we ran off a lot of season ticket holders.
