We were a top 5 program in the best conference in basketball. That's pole position.
You're mistaking "team" with "program". I'm stopping arguing you because you don't seem to know anything.
Sure……….we've really shown our NIL muscle the last month or so. Until we're willing to pump out 7 figures of NIL in the auctions, the rest of the SEC will leave us in the dust.bennyboobooboo said:
You'd be SHOCKED if a SEC team with the resources we have MADE THE TOURNEY WITHIN 3 YEARS. Bless your heart. There are only ~30 teams in the country that can offer what we can (NIL, recent wins, exposure). What's the point of hiring someone in competitive sports if it isn't to win it all?

Define "work."
Will he win enough to go to the tournament? Possibly but zero evidence of it at any significant level.
That's the standard?

Me. No chance this works. By works I mean he won't get further than Buzz did in his 5 years. I'll eat cow dung if we win a natty within the next 5 years.
No
You will eat crow if he gets further than Buzz with your first statement. That's how this works.
If he wins a Natty, you will dress up as a chicken and act out being chicken for everyone on here to see. You will make us believe you are the chicken.
Thats a pretty weak interpretation of "work". Didn't go too far out on that limb. Sad thing is if Bucky does work here another blue blood will come take him (See BG, see MT) or he won't and be gone by yr 5. Looking back its funny how BK was consider a failure but had made it to the sweet16 twice by yr 7, grant those were his only times making the tournament.bobinator said:Dr. Alister MacKenzie said:

I think "work" means the majority of regulars here don't want to get rid of him in a couple years.
LOL how could anybody absolutely believe it will work? It would be a complete shot in the dark. Low floor/high ceiling type of hire. Some hirings that seem absolutely 100% can't miss are disasters as well.justsomeguy said:
Typical bobinator. Won't commit to saying he believes it will work.

If he gets 6 years I think he can win 2 tournament games.
yes. We've had one good year. We also haven't won a title in over a decade.DukeMu said:In NCAAM it certainly is today. The SEC on kenpom rates well ahead of the Big Ten for 2025. NIL and the increased depth and quality of coaches has flipped the script. The ACC was a gauntlet in the 1980s and was last ranked as the top conference in 2005 and 2007.GizzGar said:The SEC is not the premier basketball league LMAODukeMu said:Only to another SEC school. The SEC is now the premier basketball league and will probably remain that way in the NIL era.Ags #1 said:
It may work but define working? If he makes a sweet 16 or elite 8 he probably bounces.
It's a gamble, but I did not have a MikeSyracuse CM Newton's son recommendation on my bingo card!

With this total ground-up reset we're gonna have to do I'll be shocked if we even make the dance by year 3. Much less a natty. That said, I'm not disappointed in the hire at all. He's gonna have to pull a couple of hidden gems out of the portal immediately to help convince kids that BuckyBall is gonna work. It'll be like the tariffs going on right now. Ugly at first. But in the long run, don't be surprised if it works

Anyone talking "natty" and Aggie basketball should eat cow dung just cuz.

I hope that this works out because on paper it even looks funny hiring a guy with ZERO tournament wins.
I hope this works out cause people who "know better than us" get paid A Lot of money to make these decisions.
I hope this works out cause then we can start hiring more unproven coaches for less and getting more in return.
I hope this works out cause Bucky has 1 Southern Conference Championship in 5 years, and it was 2 years ago.
I hope this works out cause we currently have ZERO scholarship players on our team at the moment and Bucky has a few months before Fall workouts begin.
But mostly, I hope this works out cause I'm Most tired of Not Winning Big.
