Current Roster

I am having a hard time of keeping track of everything that is going on with this team. Is this our current roster?

PG (2) - Jordan, Branch
SG (3) - Harrison, Greene, Balamou
SF (1) - Pointer
PF (1) - Jones
C (0)
Recruits (0)
Incapable/Overmatched Coach (1) - Lavin

Can't wait for next season.

Its becoming laughable at this point. Teams go centuries without dealing with rosters like this. If lavin doesnt make something happen quick we'll have one twice in 4 years. What a waste of an awesome back court.

Did Felix ever return from his family issue back home?   I'm not implying anything, I just wasn't looking for him on the bench in our final games.

Was there I believe. No suitcase.

Not that it will help much, but I would guess Lipscomb will be on scholarship next year.

Can't recall a walk-on ever red-shirting before.

The kid can play.  I know our board loves to rip the kids that should not be touched, but layoff the walkons.  Redshirting the kid was a great move whether you like or hate Lavin.

How is it his fault? He pays his own way to this point...he works hard, he is not a typical walkon, and his father is has a couple of top 75 kids. 

We are the only school in the countyr that rips walkons and 12th and 13th kids. Ndiaye works his ass off in practice when the rest of those divas run around like princesses and he becomes a running joke on this site.  Pisses me off. Lavin started him...what is he supposed to do, say no?

Wasn't really ripping him. I don't think he can play PF or C, which as you know are the major holes we need to fill.

Appreciate your respect for walk ons Marillac, but a friend on Georgia  hoops scene tells me we have zero chance for those top 75 kids you mentioned. Can't fault Lavin for trying, but I would not count on this coming to fruition.

Who said anything was Rudy's fault? My point is any kid who was a walkon at some point is not going to have any kind of positive impact on next season. Good for him and his family  but if this is what we are resorting to talking about the program is in a lot of trouble.

I like this roster, it looks like Villanova's. We can go 4 guards or even smaller and use 5 guards, like Hickory. That would create huge match-up problems. Well, huge might be the wrong word, the opposite really, tiny. We out small them, see? Then we run run run, 40 minutes - or 40 my-nutes, hahaha - of hell and shoot tons of threes. I bet you're thanking god Phil Greene is still here right about now aren't you haterz.  On D we play the 1-3-1 match up box and two with Nydiaye on the back line, he's been tearing it up in practice, or maybe Lavin pulls another talented walk on out of his ass, there's lots of room in there now that his prostate's gone, who knows what he's hiding up there. Only issue I see is maybe someone gets the croup or whooping cough and you can't blame Lavin for that, he's not a doctor.

My point is any kid who was a walkon at some point is not going to have any kind of positive impact on next season. 

There were more than a few kids this year who went from walkons to major contributors.  I'm not saying that will be him, although I do think he is substantially better than our typical walkons. 
I'm not singling you or anyone out, but walkons should be off limits. 

The team is clearly in turmoil. Inexplicable really. Unthinkable to find ourselves in this position.  There are very few scenarios in which Lavin can survive this. And we as a program may not survive either. Fan support not good. We lose money every time we play at the Garden . The school is in difficult financial straits. We are at a crossroads. Just terrible.

Unless one finds his way onto the starting lineup before a big game or in the NIT which is a pipe dream for us anyway why would one ever be brought up? No one ripped the walkons but rather Lavin for playing them for no discernable reason. Well at least there will be a reason to play them next season

I don't find it inexplicable or unthinkable: people such as my nostradamus-like self have been questioning Lavin's fitness since last spring. You just didn't notice because you were too busy explaining why the doubters were panic stricken and irrational. If you're feeling poorly have a stiff KoolAid and a lie down, this'll pass.

The walkon redshirt is a weekly joke on these boards.  It was good move....looks better by the minute.  He doesn't have to play a minute in an actual game for that to hold true.

He mentioned the other two are Greene and Rysheed.

If that happens I can't see how the man can keep his job.

That's like being a manager and having half of your staff leave while your on vacation. You aint coming back to a job.
