I Can ONLY Imagine.... - thagr82008 - 02-17-2018 01:22 PM

Preseason hype of Kansas being ranked in the top 5
Them winning by dominant margins throughout year
Being led by the Lawsons' and creating a pipeline from here to KU
Winning a Championship next year or during Lawsons' tenure
Tubbs doesn't want to coach these types of players, but it will be proven that these types of players are winners. Tubbs won a championship with these type of players when Pitino left, and hasn't come anywhere close to the same type of success through his OWN merit...
The circumstances are Even larger than WE realize,maybe even that Tubbs realizes....The Lawson's successes over the next couple of years or more are going to resonate exponentially bad to Memphis.....However, these successes began in Memphis and these are successes that Memphis should be enjoying!!!!

Next year Kansas will have 3 Memphians on scholarship on their roster...
Memphis will have 1.

We may have two if Penny is the new coach

Vote Tubby in the Hall of Fame!
He never signed a player that any other coach wanted!
He was careful to look like he tried, though, after telling us it was not possible for MEMPHIS to sign good players.

I do not get the continuous reference to the Lawsons here. You'd think they led us to the final 4 when they were here or something.
They're gone. There were circumstances and who knows what else. Time to move on. Damn.
RE: I can ONLY Imagine.... - snowtiger - 02-17-2018 01:58 PM
lol Things are so bad that we can't look at the future yet.
So we pine in the past.

Understood. No doubt about it. I'm with you.
Every thread, or so it seems, talks about the unique ability of the Lawsons to walk on water then turn that water into wine. It's just bizarre.

That's what a Blue Blood does for you!!! We got a long ways to go... KU reloads with top10 recruiting classes for the last 20 years. lol...

Thinking about tubby getting one more year literally makes nauseous. IF our administration keeps him after the season is over I sadly may have to checkout because I can no longer take this small time acceptance of mediocrity by an AD that apparently knows or cares little about Tiger hoops and what it means to this city. I couldn't imagine Louisville accepting this at any cost once the writing is on the wall. Heck even Houston fired their fball coach a few years ago for going 8-4 and that turned out to be the best thing they ever did by not accepting mediocrity or worse in the name of "consistency". COME to think about isn't the attitude their taking with tubby and basketball team the same attitude that pushed the football program to the edge of oblivion
Memphis will have 1.

What else do we have but our urban myths and legends at this point...?

Not at the same level as we do this year. Except for the last few games when the team had quit, we were at least competitive last year. This year we have gotten worse in just about every category.

When you have 10 good players and 3 leave and you keep recruiting at a high level, you can recover. Even Pastner was able to maintain a not disastrous level of performance for 5 years.
When you have 4 good players and 3 of them leave...and you can't recruit, there is nothing bizarre about being disappointed about it. Tubby just had to continue going about his business being lazy and doing nothing, these players were given to him.
