LJ Figueroa Transfers

I thought Earlington, Williams and Roberts were like BFF's etc.

chance Williams gets his degree after this season and then bolts ?

Pretty sure he is not talking about Earlington when referring to someone whose name starts with a "M" and ends with a "N".  And you are right that looking at social media those Earlington, Williams and Roberts are like the 3 amigos.

Obviously don't know any insider information, but what Dave hints re: Williams surprises me because his Dad is very vocal on Twitter about being a fan of CMA.

Starts with M and ends with N.

Didn't get along. A lot of other players aren't exactly fond of him either but they also don't have many options to play on this level and get playing time. I think if they did Roberts and Williams were gone. I also think that's why you saw Williams get a bump in minutes towards end of last year because he was very close to bouncing.

Dave- You disappoint this fan base on a weekly basis. You're using this unfortunate circumstance to bash this coaching staff who have done nothing but breathe structure, discipline, order and maturity into the program in one short year. Keep your ridiculous rumors about kids on this roster to yourself, this isn't a High School hallway. We're trying to build a program, you're not going to tear it down and get your BFF back from Nebraska on gossip chit chat, those days are over.

Is it bashing or telling the truth?

When you don't like the message it doesn't mean it's not true.

There have been multiple defections under this staff. It is a personality conflict between staff and players. I don't think Dave is responsible for this.

Heron was another unhappy guy.

Two recruiting classes that haven't cracked the top 75 in the country. 2021 doesn't look promising either.

I hope Anderson shuts all his critics up. I really do.

This staff has only lost one of their own guys. Sears. That’s it.

They’ve added a 4 star NYC point guard. A juco AA, A juco PF, a solid grad transfer and a promising two guard. What’s the difference between this class and a dozen others we’ve had over the years?

Weren't you saying that Mullin lost Obpeka and Jordan?  Same logic could be applied here. I know it's been one year. That's why I said it's a personality conflict between coach and players. These guys weren't recruited by this staff.

You choose to look at it the recruiting as half full. That's fine. Posh had plenty of time to take a leap in the rankings this year. He never did. I think he will be solid. He is a 3 star. I don't make the rankings. All things considered the class is ranked 77 nationally.

The problem is that we're just going to be a middle of the pack program under this staff unless they start getting better kids. Only so much diamonds in the rough can do.

And the recruiting classes before these who had top 50/25 players in them and top transfers didn’t produce that much either 0 tourney wins and 0 big East semi finals appearances so there isn’t a big difference

Dave -what would be an example negative culture shift brought by Anderson?

All I've seen is someone who tries to lead by example, has ground rules, stresses academics, conditioning, effort, integrity etc.

Is this a perceived negative by players who just don't subscribe to a disciplined program philosophy or is there a real example you can cited that is a negative culture Anderson has brought?

I don't get why some of you guys get so defensive. It's ok to discuss, debate, and disagree. If you have an opinion on something doesn't mean you are one side of the fence or the other. We're all rooting for the program.
