Great but can we get one fucking game in Carver? Maybe give people a reason to buy season tickets instead of reasons not to.

What’s the retarded argument for not wanting Banks back again? He’d be the 4th or 5th best ball handler on a team lacking them.

Is this just a brain damaged obsessive Doug thing?

Doug has been pretty consistent about disliking 6th year players

I hate this bullshit of 6th or 7th year players. They have far more talented players ready to go that will help more overall in the long run. Banks isn't nearly good enough to have him back for another year to get in the way of the development of those younger players.

Again, looking at a program in only short term gains is stupid. Iowa Football did this a couple years ago (and they are one of the few programs that does consistently build for the long term) and it likely cost them a 11-1 or 10-2 regular season and a trip to the CFP last year.

It's still college athletics, not players are supposed to play their allotted time and be done. Stop fucking doing this dumb shit.

What Doug said. Banks may be slightly better, but the younger guys' ceiling is much higher. Let them play and get better.

Oh so the argument just reverts back to McCollum probably doesn’t know how to manage the situation in the best interest of the team.

Coaches never make bad decisions or choices!

No, that isn't the argument or reverting back to anything. Banks has played 4 full years of basketball with no injury. Move on. It's still college.

Let’s weigh the options. You bring a guy back who averaged 10 and. 5 last year while being the best wing defender on the team OR………..you bring in no one else???

I’d love for them to bring in a guard instead of Banks but that doesn’t appear to be an option at this point

You brought in multiple players who are looking to be more talented actually. Players that schools like Purdue, Kansas, Tennessee, Vandy, Indiana and Virginia were pissed you stole away.

I'm not sure putting a single ball handler and two guys who can't shoot on the court on the same time is such a brilliant idea, Bennett.
