Another wasted year - jfisher - 12-15-2019 03:54 PM
How sad it is to see how far Tulsa has fallen.....I know they have an 8-3 record, which doesn't sound that bad, but they are not a good team......nothing exciting whatsoever........for a number of years Tulsa had one of the better teams in the country, long ago and far away......even when they weren't a top 25 team they weren't that bad, they were competitive with some good teams. They weren't able to recruit great big men then, just like now, but they got some who played their hearts out.......and they did recruit some great 3 point shooters which they have none of those now. Haith hasn't recruited much of anything......it's like he is just going through the motions as a coach. At one time, when we had a great coach and he went on to bigger and better things, we got an up and coming asst coach who kept the ball rolling........I presume Haith is on an extended contract like Monty is so Tulsa fans can expect nothing from Basketball just like football.

Haith's buy out is at its lowest this year. That blow out loss to Arkansas was bs. Overall the team is one more consistent shooter short of being at large quality. I like Jackson and Rachal they are pretty consistent everyone else has been streaky, we need Joiner or Korita to step up and be clutch. Korita was like 0-7 or something vs Arkansas and missed the Arkansas St game.
I expect us to be NCAA quality most years, Haith isn't getting that done.
Don't get me started on the whole Monty thing.
Gragg is awful and can't file a proper waiver, KES being eligible should have been a given, the GT kid would have been the shooter we're missing.
To get NCAA this year we need Korita to be clutch. To fully reach our potential we need Jackson to have some confidence in his outside shot and hit 30% (in practice he hits like 40 according to Haith).
