god i cant believe a coach that came from the nba with no college experience after an extended coaching search where the university was publicly humiliated by their failure couldn't put together a class capable of consistently competing in the ACC

oh man, fuck the fact that the future is undeniably looking better than right now, let's just burn this motherfucker at the stake

Oh ok now we are supposed to pity Sidney and feel sorry for him?

You basically just admitted that he is unqualified and not the man for the job.

haha that should be in the credibility thread

What? Let's see. Fells, McCauley, Costner, Horner, and Ferguson aren't Sid's recruits, right? Then there's the recruits that bailed after Herb left. Then there was some desperation recruiting to fill the hole in the backcout. And then there's several debilitating injuries to Degand, Thomas, and Bartosz.

you just lost your rights to bitch and moan about this basketball team

^I don't think so......I have forgotten more basketball than you know.

Horner/Ferguson were recruited by Herb but Lowe still gave them schollys ok so 5....6 if you count Harris. My apologies for not clearing that up.

FWIW I have been going to home games since I came out of the womb....my family is WPC and I have been a WPC member for 3 years on my own now before graduating.

^If you know that you've forgotten stuff, then you should probably fact-check before you make claims like "All but 3 are sid's recruits". First off, you're wrong, and second, you're not taking into account serveral factors that have had a big impact on Sid's recruiting in the past.

And yes, we're all very aware that you're a bigger fan than everyone else. You've made that clear on numerous occasions.

1) Look dude you claim to be such a big fan and you are the one coming in here and can't even spell our players names right.

2) Umm ok so count Horner and Ferguson as Herb recruits. That means 1 recruit (besides Hickson) Lowe has gotten here so far is ACC caliber at their position and that's Tracy. You guys can talk about the future all you want but Sid's seat is going to be really hot next year if we finish 10-12th in the ACC again.

Don't forget JJ. Also, I think Mays will likely be ACC caliber by the time his tenure is over and Degand was coming before Sid was hired IIRC. That means 3 out of 5? Lowe recruits are ACC quality.

When you have zero guard depth leftover from a "positionless offense", it can be tough to get quality recruits in here at the drop of a hat.

The position we are in sucks, but it appears to be on its way to being fixed. I still would like to see some development in our current players until we are able to get some real talent in here.

1/13/2009 2:29:52 PM

Mays should be starting and getting most of the PG minutes....he has the potential to at least be decent. Degand is a backup who's fast but out of control. Javi will never be ACC material.

I've never claimed that i was "such a big fan". I've actually made no claim to the size of my fanhood. I'm not the one coming in here claiming "I've forgotten more than you'll ever know" and "I've been a fan since in my mama's womb". And I spelled "Ferguson" with two "s"s, big deal.

And once again, Sid's been here two full years, we lost a recruiting season, we had to do some desperation recruiting, and we've been plagued by injuries. And yes, he got JJ, Smith, Mays, Williams, adn the '09 and '10 class.

It's not like I i was saying "Cyd" or something. Fergusson, Ferguson, whatever. What's your point? Because I added an extra s, my point is moot? Come on man, that's lame.

And I debated if Horner/Fergie are attributed to Lowe or Herb since both recruited them.

But seriously shouldn't you know how to spell a player's name?

Packboozie is trolling now



move along folks

1/13/2009 3:09:13 PM

I am sorry but I have a problem when people who don't even watch games come in here and say shit like Sydney Must Go! Or Fuck Herb Sedeck! When it's obvious they know little about the game and don't even know our coaches names.

Not saying either of you are because I know you two at least know basketball. /rant.
