Lol. If this guy blows up too they need to just fire this whole fucking staff for impersonating as basketball coaches.

Clark looked like total ass in that Twitter clip. He will be a B version of Mark Smith.
Slow as fuck.

Jesus. Duke and Scheyer just got the number 1 recruit in 2024 class to give them another top recruiting class.
Cooper Flagg could not be any more of a whiteboy smirkass motherfucker. Supposed #1 NBA pick in 2025.

Jayden Epps dropped 46 points in a secret scrimmage vs Wake Forest

Kinda surprised to be hearing about this now even if it was a secret scrimmage.

Underwood is on thin ice. If we go one and done in NCAA I bet he is gone.
I know dealing with the challenges of today’s athlete in a social media world are no doubt a pain in the ass, but if you can’t relate to them you are not going to make it.
There is a reason are entire rotation is mostly 24 year old guys. Lol.

Zero chance he’s on thin ice if we win a game in the tourney. May certainly leave on his own, however. Epps really struggled the second half of last year, some supposed 46 points in a scrimmage means fuck all. I loved the kid coming in and he’s a crafty scorer at times, but reality is he’s an undersized 2 that is really streaky from deep and has to do some serious ball acrobatics to get the ball in the bucket when he drives into the big guys. Really wish we had RJ back but Guerrier is likely better for this team.

I think it is 60/40 there is mutual parting of ways if we win one and lose one.
0 for career getting to second weekend has become a large monkey on his back.

Loyalty smart guys say it is S16 or the door.
We will see I guess.

There is no question Underwood has trouble connecting to modern players and it is a lot more than an isolated case. I know the whole context has changed but he is too often an inflexible old school crazed redass on sidelines.
Having Anderson and Frazier around hasn't tempered him. If he wins it is tolerable. If not it is not.

There was another exhibition upset a few days ago.

St Johns was defeated by Ryan Pace University
Orlando?

Some interesting news and why maybe some teams did not pursue him much…

A 9 game suspension from WVa hoops for impermissable benefits he received at Az.

What's the Az penalty ?
What was Harbaugh's suspension for violations and fibbing about it ?
How about Self's suspension ?

Lol
"As part of their evaluation, the NCAA determined that the University of Arizona's compliance systems and education met or exceeded their standards and national best practices. The University of Arizona received no penalties or corrective actions as a result of the NCAA's evaluation.

The athletics department will have no further comment on the matter and wishes the former student-athlete the best moving forward.

Considering this occurred while Kriisa was enrolled at U of A, this doesn't seem to add up. Then again, any matter the NCAA deals with rarely does."

Yeah it’s definitely some bullshit. The NCAA makes no sense and punishes all the wrong people. It’s pretty crazy.

The results of a secret scrimmage aren’t enough to threaten anyone’s job security. Come on man you’re better than this.

Secret scrimmages are glorified joint practices from my understanding. It’s more for coaches to work on certain situations and what not. Our game against Kansas felt more like a game that counted than whatever playground gym basketball went on in the Georgetown vs Wake scrimmage.

I never said this secret scrimmage was any sort of defining measure  ::) - the fact he can't keep a lot of recruits here, cannot win in March, has misjudged talent, and is out of his mind on the sidelines is the issue.
Underwood is under a lot of pressure to get to the second weekend.
We lose first round he is gone and we will not likely be getting an easy game.
We win one and lose one and look bad doing it he is gone IMO. 

Next year will be a wild scramble to replace 4 starters. This is a very important year and opportunity for him as he has enough talent to get to S16.
