How many walk-ons will be in the starting line up next year?

by **talon** on Thu Apr 15, 2010 7:55 pm

When are open tryouts?

by **BCEagles25** on Thu Apr 15, 2010 7:58 pm

The walk-ons will transfer.

My BC TEAM led by Stevie D. is on the floor.

I would rather have 4 on the floor than 12 of Lazy Elvis's bong smoking cheesesteak eating no hustle fucks.

BC will be fine.

Maybe there's a football player or 2 that could lend a hand...I was reading about this kid, and apparently he's played some hoops...(mentioned in the first two paragraphs)

I’m not sure there will be any in the starting lineup, but there might be 1 or 2 on the bench

At least range out to 30 yards is considered great in basketball.

Talon, things could not have been ANY WORSE than they were. Who needs players anyway?

Funny thing is, if Skinner were still the coach this would be true.

we're guaranteed to. it can't get any worse than skinner...

It's true! Under Skinner, BC was not only the worst program in the ACC, it was the worst program in the ENTIRE COUNTRY! It is impossible to get any worse than that.

PS Chris Crane is the worst quarterback in the history of college football. Luckily, we had Dominique Davis to save the day.

I'm not fooled, we're in agreement. BC basketball was at absolute ROCK BOTTOM. 5 weeks ago. It could not have been ANY WORSE than it was. Now that BC has traded in Skinner, their small forward, and their entire recruiting class for a new (white) coach, things are so much better!

I disagree. things weren't rock bottom. We could have gone to ZERO sweet 16s in the last 13 years. Thank God Skinner got us to one. After all, BC is not a basketball school, so we shouldn't expect any better than that.

This team was going to suck next year under Skinner anyway. And as far as recruiting went, you lost a small white kid out of Canada who's Dad is a bitch. I forgot, we also lost a small forward who's overweight, out of shape and can't dribble. The two players that left transferred to Fairfield and Boise St., that should tell you enough.

Yeah, but Noreen is a bigger loss, I think.

Anyways, Everyone needs to calm down. Losing some players was inevitable, let's see who we get to replace them before we judge this team vs. Skinner's. I mean, it couldn't possibly get much worse, I guess...

Dwayne Pina's not walkin' through that door, fans.

by **buconvict** on Fri Apr 23, 2010 4:39 pm

I forgot that Al of Skinner's recruits were as talented as most walk-ons.

I also forgot what a terrible coach Skinner was while taking all those walk-on caliber players to the tourny 8 out of 10 years.

ROCK BOTTOM!

Taking the team to the tourney doesn't matter!!! Making the Sweet 16 or the Elite 8 is what really matters!!!

...until you make the Sweet 16 or the Elite 8 regularly. Then you can bitch about not making the Final Four. Fire Roy Williams! Fire everybody!

A. Al sucked at recruiting. He had some good assistants. When they left, the recruiting stopped.
B. I love the "we are what we are" attitude...1 sweet 16 in 13 years is AWESOME for BC...we should just aspire to "make the tournament". BC should have never fired Al. His ceiling was so high. Hell, we could have expected ANOTHER sweet 16 before 2024.

The point is that the arbitrary capriciousness of your selecting the Sweet 16 as your cutoff for success is, was, and always has been fucktarded. Why isn't the cutoff one game more? One game less? Add to that the fact that you never seem to want to talk about the teams that beat BC in most seasons (you will of course act like an asshole and respond to this with "U-WM", but that is to be expected) and your opinion becomes utterly worthless.

Because you judge coaches on how they can get it done in the NCAA tournament. That's how it works. Getting to the second weekend is a huge deal for a school. It's clear you support the theory that teh tourney iszz randomz and thus 't judge a coach on how he does in the regular season, not postseason. It's simply a case of different opinions.

Enter OJ's chorus.

Actually, no. The tourney is not random. BC was usually beaten by better teams. Georgia Tech, Villanova and Georgetown leap to mind in BC's three best teams that had chance seasons.

Few coaches in the country get fired after taking their team to 7 tourneys in 10 years. Period. That said, I am okay with moving on.

You could certainly call me OJ's chorus because I definitely agree with him here. At a power conference school, you make or break your job on how successful you are in the post season. Getting there isn't enough. Most of the time around 40% make it from the ACC (and Big East before that). It's what you do once you're in there.

but why is the sweet sixteen the line?

It makes sense, and not because it's called the "Sweet Sixteen". Making the Sweet 16 means you have made the second weekend, won two games, with at least one against a very good team in a high pressure situation, you make it to a regional which typically involves three other elite teams, and it certainly is a manageable goal for a good power conference team.

If OJ were to expect a Final 4 every year, I would say that's ridiculous. But getting two wins in the NCAA tournament when, if you make it in the first place means you were one of the better teams in the best conference in America, is a reasonable expectation.
