Quote from: Marco Baldi on February 09, 2012, 09:59:38 AMLavin comes back and he announces Sampson is coming, all this goes away. Simple as thatBut what do you think the chances are of those two things happening at this point Baldi? 50/50? I'd lean towards less.I'm starting to think Lavin needs to come back simply to ensure that we don't lose any of the five freshmen we have now.
Lavin comes back and he announces Sampson is coming, all this goes away. Simple as that

Quote from: shurinaCheese on February 09, 2012, 09:35:32 AMLavin should be on the bench during games. he does not have to be mega demonstrative but he must be a presence. As coach wooden said "It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen."We all want Lavin back, but this season won't be saved by Lavs. The most important thing he can do is get quality players in here for next year and keep our core here returning next season.

We need Lavin back immediately.I can't take this crap. Time for Marillac to take some time away from these boards. Our fans suck.Our fans suck? It's remarkable our fans have been patient this long! What good has happened to this program in the last 10 months?? 1 thing I can think of one thing; Jamal Branch transferring in. Compare that to at least 12 different negatives from ineligible players, to decommitting recruits, to the transfer of 2 starting players and a third who was our only upperclassman. And no offense Marillac, but you mentioned earlier in this thread that this team has phenomenal talent and that the goal should be a championship run in 2013/2014. We are no where close to that. You speak like all we need to do is add a few role players and this is a deep NCAA caliber team. It's not. We need to add major pieces, arguably players better in some cases than anyone we have on the roster now, and you don't find that kind of talent in the spring signing period. And even if you could we have every reason as a fan base to expect a lackluster recruiting class in another month. There's no indications that Lavin's class of six contributors is taking form. More and more that appears like a pipe dream.I think it is more of a pipe dream for a positive comment ever coming from your computer.I'm not perpetually negative. But we're coming off of two 20+ point blowouts, a decommitment of a player we've been counting on as a building block for the future, and the second midseason departure for a team with 6 players. It's not the end of days, but you'd have to agree we're at a bit of a cross roads, no? The next couple of years for this program turn on the events that occur between now and the end of March. If Lavin returns, settles the ship, we sign four recruits and he convinces all the current players to return then the future will continue to be bright. But more deflections and a lackluster recruiting class could set this program back yet again. As a fan I just don't want to see that.Think the NCAA is watching closely?
