Baldi called them women-if that is not an insult and name calling what is?

  Baldi is a baffoon. 

Pretty much I'm learning to ignore his posts.  I've said it for years prior this fan base is mind boggling and some will never be happy.  We have such a bright future and they are reacting to this year as if we are stuck with Norm and a bunch of 2 star recruits coming in next year.

Personally, the recruiting is like Novocain for this season.
If possible, I would love to see Polee receive more playing time and develop over the remainder of the season.

We are 4-5 in big east and now we have the easier part of the schedule. Season is not over.

when you look at the rest od the schedule matching the 4-5 is the likely; however, 3-6 is most probable.  we have 4 at home and 5 on the road.  Pitt, Nova and Uconn are the top 3 in the Big East.  Cin and Marquette on the road.  The Seton Hall Hazells on the road (they just destroyed Cuse in the Dome and will be in better shape when we play them).  Rotgers on a Wednesday night which we can't get right for 3 straight weeks. Depaul and the battle of the Vincencians.  senior day at home with South Florida.  It will be a major challenge for the gang that can't shoot straight

Thing is, I think that could poison the locker room if Polee was playing 30+ minutes over players who, and this may be surprising to say, are more deserving.  He needs to earn his time; he's not been a factor on defense (Abromaitis, for example, faked him out like an And-1 player) and his offense has a lot of dribble and a jump shot with his legs scissored out for no particular reason.

But it would be nice to see what he can do in extended minutes, if he can hold down a post position next year, if he can force transition opportunities. But I think the staff must be a little down on him, he hasn't seen many minutes while the game matters.

Its the other way around.  We have 5 at home- RUT, DEP, USF, UCONN, PITT and 4 on the road- MARQ, CIN, SHU, NOVA

I'm not trying to poison any locker room.
Frankly, outside of the St. Mary's game, his freshman year is about what one could expect--based on his hs and AAU games. As you know, generally, the biggest jump in a college player's career is in their sophomore season. My hope was that he could get a solid 20-25 minutes a night for the remaining games of the season. If he ever jeopardizes a win, pull him, but, otherwise, I'd like to see him get minutes.

Just in case anyone was curious, these are his last six games:
1/8- ND- 31 Minutes 12pts
1/12 Syracuse-19 Minutes 7pts
1/16 ND 17 Minutes 4pts
1/19 Louisville 4 Minutes 0pts
1/22 Cincy 10 Minutes 2pts
1/26 Georgetown 19 Minutes 4pts
