@JacobsFieldRBW @BauerOutage You need to look up the word arrogant in the dictionary lol This is at the intersection of humility and desperation, but you've never been one for nuance

The decision to reallocate savings on the new HC hire, to the NIL budget, is a straight forward one, especially relative to the players above Woj has brought in. Said another way, that $500K is more impactful to the roster, than in Schmidt's hand, and that's the hard truth.

This university owes a great deal of gratitude to Schmidt. But, we can also be objective about recent performance, and the return on the $2M/year investment into a head coach, or lack there of, for a program strapped for cash relative to peers.

Mark Schmidt is a fantastic coach, and pulled a program out of the depths of hell; but, the reality is, his teams regressed throughout the season for 6 consecutive years. That period also overlaps with the emergence of NIL. That's a problem. @SBUnfurled @TylerRelph10

@Talking_spurss So, you're not aware why this account gets hate, but also aware enough to speak to the reason this account gets hate?

@SBUnfurled Can you make sense of the line? KenPom has a relatively close game as well...must be something in the advanced metrics? On paper, looks like a small-ish team that can't shoot the 3 and turns it over a lot? What am I missing?

@Allthings__THFC Playing 5 in the back, protected by Paulinha and Bentancur, against a front 3 of Merino, Saka (fully cooked), and Troussard, is spineless and terrible from a tactical angle.

@SBUnfurled Free flowing nature of the offense and rebounding, particularly on the offensive end. The concern is, Schmidt coaches these positives away.

@_TottenhamTalk_ He has several world class traits - he's obviously tenacious, wins duals, aerials, composed. But, his ability to split the lines, his vision combined with the deception of his passes, is unmatched; he's 1/1, there's no one close in that department.

@CleGuardPro Arias is what he is. 30% K rate, low-200 avg, mid-70s wRC+. This is just normal regression. Why the FO expects a different result - no clue. But we also brought back Nolan Jones for whatever reason.

@ZootB_ @SBUnfurled It's really said, but we did, for one glorious game (couldn't throw a stone in the ocean but still crushed a really good CSUN team). 21 turnovers forced, 32 3PA, 34 FTs

@SBUnfurled I'm just going to leave here: If you recruit 4 slashers and a non-stretch 5, you need to play in transition; which we did really well for 1H of season. But if you morph into an inside-out offense, you're going to struggle - no shooting and no space underneath. Very basic stuff.

@SBUnfurled The scouting report vs Bonnies since mid Jan: Defense: double Brown, he'll either turn it over or kick it out to a 'sniper' who is 24/85. Offense: create ANY slight imbalance, they'll over rotate, and we're shooting uncontested 3s And we've done NOTHING ABOUT IT FOR 8 WEEKS

@SBUnfurled The hard truth is, Schmidt's teams have regressed throughout the season for 3 years in a row now. Woj left ESPN to help facilitate sustainable success in an NIL world, and the current focus on player development and complex schemes will not deliver that, unfortunately
