Hire Marty Simmons as AC/offensive game specialist.

Bring in Greg Lansing to help give IB more HC experience on the bench as well.

A week off ? Hope that doesn't apply to himself and the staff ! Need to get to work NOW on signing some polished
gamers. We only had four players contribute much last night and two of them most likely won't be back.

I'm sure the week off is to allow the staff to get grips on who they need to keep around and what debrief they need each player to have. There needs to be some formal evaluation of each guy's season; what went well, what needs to improve, etc.

We knew what to expect from Marshall offense. It wasn't going to change. Considering IB took over a week before the year, it was fairly obvious that he wasn't going to change up the offense mid season. He's now on the clock to implement his own touch on the program. With him having 7 years under GM, I don't expect drastic changes, but he might have a few tricks up his sleeve.

I don't understand why that is fairly obvious. As a coach, you should always be experimenting with something new. That doesn't mean you run it right out of the gate, but there were no new wrinkles or ideas as the year progressed.

Pretty much this. WSU has not run a real offense for years. I'm tired of one guy dribbling around while everyone else stands there watching. The jacking up a stupid shot at the end of the sequence is also not enjoyable.

I think players will dictate when they enter the portal assuming they are leaving on their own accord.

Yes they do. Though i think our Coaching Staff has built enough trust with this team that it will be a much more coordinated effort with discussions had before hand than what you are seeing from UC and USF (and WSU last year).

1) An actual offense
2) A PG who can make plays
3) An AAC level Big

HCIB said that he would ask every player, "the day after the season ended" what their plans were regarding their return to Wichita. We have 13 scholarship players. My SWAG, 2 graduate, at least 4 transfer, one or two get pushed out. New team.

I believe IB said yesterday he was going to give them a week off then talk to them. That's probably best .. Give them some time to separate from a disappointing loss before making a critical life decision.

Read somewhere that NCAA offered seniors anther year of elegibilty due to the Covid year. Anyone here that?

EVERYONE gets another year of eligibility. This year doesn't count towards their 4 years. Seniors don't count against the scholarship limit next year. So if Gilbert and Wade return, we are allowed 15 scholarship players next year.

It’s been discussed about 100 times. Most seniors will go pro if they have an option, IMO.

I think Seymour has potential at the 4. Needs to hit the weights, but he has the height and athleticism. His high school stats indicate he’s a player. Need a PG big time. I don’t know what it is that’s keeping Trevin Wade off the court, but if it’s that he’s just not as good as Craig Porter, then we’re in serious doo doo. Need to cut our losses here and get a PG ASAP.

Not to regress as the season wraps up and close out playing their best basketball instead of some of their worst.
