@KUSTEVE That maybe the best thing to do but as @Crimsonorblue22 Says that may kill Grimes confidence, but he can’t keep starting all year if it doesn’t pay.

He has been sensational on the defensive end of the floor, he gets his hands on the ball so many times thru out the game. I think he just needs to look to drive the ball more, which isn’t easy because the jury is out on sagging off of him and making him shoot jumpers. I don’t think he’ll ever be a good shooter but I bet he improves to serviceable. It’s also early in the season and he could be better, just hasn’t shown it yet. If I were Self, I’d tell him to keep shooting the open ones. If he can get a couple to fall, it will open things up in the middle.

Last Years team wasn’t anywhere near this good defensively, I went to the Arizona State game unfortunately and witnessed my first loss in AFH. As stated it was all on Graham and Svi much of the season with Vick being good at times and Newman really just hanging out til march rolled around. Maybe Grimes can be this years Newman? Grimes has more of an excuse than Newman being a freshman but him progressing will be a huge factor in how far we can grow as a team. I feel like Dotson is playing great ball at this point of the season, Grimes has been a complete ghost outside of 2 games. Doke being back will help on the defensive side of the ball just because opposing teams know he’ll be waiting in paint for them, even if he fouls them lmao. We have a tough schedule and keep winning games so its hard to get real frustrated at this point. I will this team is stating to remind me of the 05 team that started out 20-1, then limped to a first exit (W/O Langford albeit).

@jayballer73 people are just bit**ing to do it, unfortunately all fans bases have those guys. I thought we’d be lucky to get a few 4 stars with this class. If that doesn’t happen then so be it, as you said it’s plenty late in the game and most guys will probably sign here in the early session. The most important thing is to fill up all 15 spots we can with the most talented guys we can get. I don’t like seeing a high number of jucos but we have to get what we can at this point. Next years recruiting class will the one that Miles should be judged off of. If we can win 4 ( MM was the last coach to win more than 3 in 2009) or more games, that would be huge to show guys how fast he can turn this around with the right talent.

@BShark Our top 3 receivers in Booker, Johnson and Sims all graduated so not a huge surprise.

@wissox Ya that stinks, one of my best friends in high school broke his foot really bad in football (his foot was a 180 degrees the wrong way). I dang near puked, hate to see it happen on Tv but it’s definitely worse in person.

@KUSTEVE they really had a free pass to the final four, they just pissed it away.

@BShark I dont think there’s really even a debate that Self is better. Wright has the same amount of FFs and one more NC. That’s with recruiting classes rated way higher than Self. The question is now can Wright keep Nova at the elite status they currently are.

I’ll be honest I find myself wishing Sam had stayed and Moore left.

@BShark my sister in law was just a little ways down from him.
