Title: Not looking forward to next season
Post by: Pett on March 22, 2013, 06:37:05 PM
Name one player other than Angel, Shane, and Gip that doesn't annoy the eff out of you with their inconsistency. I won't be able to stand watching Will & Nino try to play basketball. They are both complete sh1t

I might fall in love with our incoming class because quite frankly that's all we have :goodbyecruelworld:

One step closer to oscar being rough ridin' gone.  I can't wait.

Let's all pray to got that after next season, Pearl gets on a mid major.  Pearl's probation ends Aug 23, 2014.

Expect Southwell and Angel to continue getting better.

Gip is and will continue to be a defensive liability.  He was awful today and got beasted by that Wright guy.

I think DJJ will become a good player.

Will needs to quit being a bitch.

I don't really know what to expect from Diaz and Nino.

yes,  the league  will make  it  closer  to  this  than 10  and 8.

 Every  upper  half  team  loses a more  than  we  do  and  nobody  is  bringing  back  an Angel  if Kabingo goes (and I  don't  see Kabongo  making  people  better or  playing d  like  Angel)

Self's  class  looks  good  and  they  should and  likely  will  win  the  league  but I  believe  we  compete  for  second  with ou, isu  and  maybe  osu  depending  on  who  leaves.

Yep. 20-10, 10-8, 10 seed. Way early expectations/hope.

I think we could be better than that.  I think people are being a little too down right now, which is cool.  I'm down too.

Losing JO hurts on defense, but he was so up and down, it's hard to know exactly what will be lost on the aggregate.  Losing Tay will hurt, but hopefully Thomas comes in around Christmas and does well.

Losing Rodney hurts.  A lot.  But I'm hoping that Angel, Shane, and Gip improve enough to help negate some of that loss.

I think we'll be something like 23-8 with a 12-6/13-5.  Something just tells me oscar is going to give us a solid B+ performance through the conference season more often than not by just being what we were this year.  Low possessions, low turnovers, lots of jump shooting.  Not a ton of highs, but no real lows.

I think we can be the Wisconsin of the Big 12 in the sense that our slow, consistent style of play is going to do well in a league where teams are pretty up and down year after year.

I think oscar could have been more successful if he used jo more. And he was a major factor almost every game he cracked 20 minutes. he will be missed.

Season   Team   Overall   Conference   Standing   Postseason
Kansas State Wildcats (Big 12 Conference) (2007–2012)
2007–08   Kansas State   21–12   10–6   3rd         NCAA 2nd Round
2008–09   Kansas State   22–12   9–7          T–4th   NIT 2nd Round
2009–10   Kansas State   29–8   11–5   T–2nd   NCAA Elite Eight
2010–11   Kansas State   23–11   10–6   T–3rd   NCAA 3rd Round

This should be the standard for EMAW hoops going forward.  Every four seasons we should have at one last high seed season, two middling and non-bubble type seasons, and  one bubblish/ possible NIt season is acceptable and reasonable. 

We're two years into the second 4 seasons since we've been good again. 

2011–12   Kansas State   22–11   10–8   5th           NCAA 3rd Round
2012–13   Kansas State   27–8   14–4   T-1st   NCAA Rd of 64

i was confident that Frank could keep up the pace.  i'm not as sold on oscar as a program steward. 

if we can keep up this pace, or even the pace of the last seven seasons including Huggs' year here, KSU would be  one of the most respected programs in hoops.

KU, ISU, OU, OSU, and Baylor all have the potential to sweep us next year. We should sweep TCU and Tech. WVU and Texas look like 1-1.

Best case, 10-8. Worst case, 5-13. Would that get oscar fired?

Everyone is getting hit pretty hard this year...

KU will lose their entire starting five.

ISU loses 5 of their top 7 scorers.

OU loses 3 of their top 6 scorers (top two in Pledger and Osby)

OSU will lose Smart and Olukemi for sure.  Mock draft boards have Brown as a 1st round pick.  He's likely gone.  Nash may declare to salvage whatever stock he may have left...don't know.

Baylor loses Jackson and Austin will leave.  The rest of them are effing awful.

Texas will most likely lose Kabongo.

WVU returns nearly everyone but the foreign guy.  They might actually be pretty decent.

Tech and TCU don't count.

When we look at these teams during Big 12 Media Days, KSU may end up bringing back the most intact roster and the most returning points from their starters.  Angel Rodriguez will probably be the only player from the first two All-Big 12 teams, and he may be on a short list for Big 12 Player of the Year.

I mean, yeah, today was horrible, but next year isn't going to be as bad as everyone thinks it will be.  We bring back a lot in a down league that's taking another big hit next year.

Good info. Gotta give Self credit until he doesn't get it done, though. The next five look to be a split. So maybe revise best case to 13-5.

But that would probably mean continued Big 12 being down. Look to tourney to see where we stand in relation to the country.

Everyone is getting hit pretty hard this year...

KU will lose their entire starting five.

ISU loses 5 of their top 7 scorers.

OU loses 3 of their top 6 scorers (top two in Pledger and Osby)

OSU will lose Smart and Olukemi for sure.  Mock draft boards have Brown as a 1st round pick.  He's likely gone.  Nash may declare to salvage whatever stock he may have left...don't know.

Baylor loses Jackson and Austin will leave.  The rest of them are effing awful.

Texas will most likely lose Kabongo.

WVU returns nearly everyone but the foreign guy.  They might actually be pretty decent.

Tech and TCU don't count.

When we look at these teams during Big 12 Media Days, KSU may end up bringing back the most intact roster and the most returning points from their starters.  Angel Rodriguez will probably be the only player from the first two All-Big 12 teams, and he may be on a short list for Big 12 Player of the Year.

I mean, yeah, today was horrible, but next year isn't going to be as bad as everyone thinks it will be.  We bring back a lot in a down league that's taking another big hit next year.

Except Angel is leaving, so...

Are you just screwing around, or do you actually know something?

Losing JO hurts on defense, but he was so up and down, it's hard to know exactly what will be lost on the aggregate. 

it's incredible that people still think they can say things like this and not look like a dumbass when we have a pinned thread that shows that they are dumbasses.

I think he should focus on working to be able to create his own shot more regularly. Would be a boss on the offensive end then.

I think the athletic department's official stance is that you should renew, followed by writing an unhappy letter to Currie.

Does the rumor elaborate on why he would want to transfer out?  He's sitting pretty for a first team all-conference/NCAA tourney season next year at K-State.  Obviously he'd be a major commodity on the transfer market, but it's not as if he's returning to some rebuilding project next year.  Has to be bullshit.  He's not leaving Shane, Gip and Coach Chet to fend for themselves.

Well at this point he has to be starting to see the writing on the wall. He split a conference title and the fans still are not really that enthused. He probably is starting to get concerned about getting fired after year 3.

We all know that Currie wouldn't axe him that quickly but oscar is a worrier and not a great long term thinker when it comes to depth charts and new coaching gigs.

This is a guy that actually thought he was going to the College of Charleston and that Jacob Pullen wasn't good enough for Illinois.

I wouldn't be shocked if he took another gig if offered..... but who would be dumb enough to offer besides John Currie. :blindfold:

He was 2nd in OBoarding, which means he may be able to help get the ball to players who can score (assuming he doesn't get better himself).

Question: Does Southwell move to the wing and we play Gipson and DJamer at the same time?  Or do we move Southwell to the wing and start Nino at the four? 

The wing situation concerns me, which is ironic, because oscar was big on wings at Illinois.

This. Shane would not be nearly the offensive matchup problem he is for other teams if he moves to the wing. Also, our bigs are terrible, so why would we want more than one of them out there at the same time? I'm confident that a combo of Omari/Westicles would be more effective than having any of our true post players on the court at the same time, even if Shane was able to sustain his production on the wing.

I unpinned it, but below are the season per 100 possession numbers. We'll see on DJamer. It would take Shane-like improvement. Gip showed enough to see he was a decent scorer as a freshman. DJamer was our least efficient scorer this season.

I have faith in Shane and Angel. Next year will still be fun because of those two.

Gip is a good scorer and rebounder, though defense is a concern.

Other guys will have to improve, but next year's team should be fine and should be a tournament team.

gippy can score, williams can score, southie can score, obviously art can score.  diaz and omoney can maybe score, it's hard to know.  spradling can hit open shots (at least every other year).

at any rate, i don't think scoring is going to be a huge worry.  defense and rebounding are definitely more worrisome.

very possible.  But smell/taste is pretty liary.  There are always studies about wine experts being idiots in double-blind taste tests and people thinking really good cheeses smell like vomit.  But that all relies on sight to mitigate, so maybe sight truly is lying its ass off all the time.

I have very large concerns about our basketball future as we move into the Post Tunnel Dance Era.  We really need strong minutes from two of these three people  DJamer, Diaz, Fincher. If two of them step up we could compete for the big 12. If one steps up we still make the NCAA tournament. If we get nothing we lose about every other game in conference. For reference I am talking 5 points 6 rebounds per game minimum.

I would expect that Angel will average 36 minutes a game at point.
Will will average 30 minutes,
Omari 26 minutes (10 for Will and 16 for Shane at SG),
Shane 34 minutes  16 at PF,
Nino 20 minutes and
Gipson and DJamer 20 minutes each at 5.

Starting Lineup           

PG    Angel   JR.                Orris  So.                              Thomas Fr.    Probable Redshirt
G      Will      Sr.                Omari Sr.                       Foster Fr.
G   Shane   Sr.                    Westicles Fr.
PF    Nino     Jr.                     Fincher Fr. 
C    Gipson  Jr.            DJamer  So. ,   Diaz  Jr.


Chief Tunnel Dancer

I think we sneak in as a double digit seed next year.  We'll win a game or two we shouldn't...

Yeah our best feature this year was having a wide variety of tools and the capability to play 9 players that could start and all could be pretty decent. We are going to be more victimized by foul trouble, fatigue, and defensively we are likely going to be in the bottom half of the conference in most stats:  Rebounds, Steals, FG% defense, and Blocked Shots.

Tight lineup.  Looks 5 starters and two legit reserves (EMAPE and DJamer).  Hoping that Foster can step in soon because I have little faith in Orris.

I guess just stating that they will get the most minutes of the reserves would have been more accurate.

Not saying he is going to start, just he will be better.

They play different positions though. Also completely opposite style of play. So I'm not sure why you are comparing him to will.

Post by: PIPE on March 24, 2013, 09:45:25 AM
I don't see how people think DJamer is bad....my God, DJamer seemed to be the only one of our bigs that had a pulse.  THe guy is a high energy guy and saved our ass off the bench a couple of times this year.  He actually knows that when you post up, the 1st thing you have to do is catch the ball(unlike Gip and JO) then he has shone the ability to make a move toward the basket in an unawkward way(unlike Gip and JO).  Did he not play against Lasalle?  Why?  the offense and our bigs were sucking donkey butt, bring is a high energy guy to jumpstart things (oh, I forgot, we are talking about Weber here)...............

Anyways, the thing that is going to kill this team next year is not having a backup for Angel.  Do we expect Angel to play 40 minutes/game, every game?  Spradling as a backup point?  :barf: :jerk: :sdeek: :flush: :chainsaw: :facepalm: :runaway:

I didn't include Diaz in the above discussion about our bigs, cause quite frankly, I forgot he was still on the team?  I think he has marginal talent, but I think that dude is dumber than our HC, and can't figure out how to play offense or defense (I guess that just covers the whole game of basketball). So, unless he gets a brain transfusion next year, I will count him out!!!!!!

I'm not sure what our record will be right now, but if we are a bubble team or a 10/11 seed, i am gonna be pissed. 

Shane is the one who improved the most this year.   But hey Nino was worthless as a frosh and he ended up being in our 8 man rotation as a soph.   Never thought that last summer.   

We are gonna need Gip to take the next step up next year and have at least one other player improve enough to be a valuable player if we are using an 8 man rotation next year

And i still think Foster is gonna come in and be a contributor by the time Christmas rolls around.

Its a long ways til November 2013.  No one thought 27-7 entering Tourney back on Nov 12'.    Just like no one thought a 2 seed would happen back on Nov 2009.      Be projected for 5th/6th in the conference and do much better than that..... it's the Kstate way, is it not?

Can oscar take the playbook from the coach at VMI? Having the team averaging 99 points a game while giving up 98 points a game would make a losing season at least more entertaining.
