Topic: Recruiting for Basketball

We have put together a much better roster from player 1 to 13. Having better depth makes every one being challenged in practice which is what you want. You don't get better unless you face good players in practice.

We have scheduled Purdue and I hope to see another power OOC opponent. For the life of me, I don't know why you wouldn't want to play some of these programs in their environments. It should only make you better. You learn a lot more about yourself and what you need to work on when you play a Purdue compared to Glenville State and Coppin State.

The key is to finally make a move in the conference tournament. It has been over 5 years since we made it past the quarterfinal round in one of our conference tournaments. Quite frankly, we have wilted late in the year for many of those seasons. A good regular season finish in the standings and a good run in the conference tournament is what we should be expecting. We fund basketball where we should be making some moves in the Sun Belt.....not finishing 10th and making excuses. I look forward to see what we do this season.

Fricks & Spears are sleepers on this team

hope you are right.  in Frick's case, it's about time we had another break-out player.  maybe Conner had some potential to be one.

as far as transfers in very recent years, Martin and Voyles were about the only solid players, Curfman helped win some games

Conner couldn?t get out of turtle mode.  Probably the most unmotivated player I?ve ever seen on the court.  The dude acted like he would rather be in bed vs a basketball court.  Very odd IMO

IMO, MBB will NOT miss Curfman at all.

Conner was terrible

Glad he's gone

I have seen the team work out several times and I was impressed with Moore. I really think Moore was a heck of a pickup & yes I certainly give Dan credit for sealing the deal with him when he had a nice list of mid-major offers. I may be wrong, but I don't see Moore getting buried on the bench. He will contend for a lot of time on the floor. And Nutter has gotten better.

We need to use Fricks on mid range game.  Score at all levels bb.  DD was all 3

Spot on post.  Look what an early season win AT Michigan State, I believe it was, did to boost, inspire, etc., JMU, team AND its fan base, to a record achieving season in 23-24!!!

You can't BEAT EM if you don't PLAY EM!!!!  Of course, in our previous Head Coach's case, he couldn't beat em so his "solution" was NOT TO PLAY EM!!!!  I believe most of us, and HERD fans in general, want MORE for MU basketball, both in SCHEDULING and in RESULTS!!!!

DD kept a roster full of sleepers, that never woke up.
