This coach was hired for being a players coach and his ability to keep the players we wanted returning to WSU. We prioritized program stability over everything else at the time. It appears he did a poor job on both of those tasks, and he clearly is not an X's and O's guy. So that leaves us with recruiting really. He has his work cut out for him on recruiting now. We need a mass influx of talent and need it quick. If (big if) we can get some strong commitments very soon we might be able to build momentum quickly and rebuild like Iowa State did. They went from 2 wins to 22 wins (and a Sweet 16) off almost entirely the transfer portal and a new high energy coach. We need to regain momentum though. If we are still waiting for the first commitment a month from now, we are in deep you know what.

Porter isn't gone....yet. But with Gudino leaving it makes it a little more of a nervous situation until we know for sure.Originally posted by asiseeit View Post
Yeah, I always felt we really needed to return Council, Porter and Pohto and then hope Ricks and Abidde can contribute. Then hope for a hit or two in the portal
If we lose Council or Porter then it becomes even more crucial that we land several immediate impact guys out of the portal (which I have no confidence of)"He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said.

If Porter leaves, guess there's always the Michael Jordan of dwarf basketball...

Those are the five I've said I'd like to see return. Hopefully they all do and we can scrape the bottom of the recruiting barrel and see if we can find anything useful.Originally posted by Stickboy46 View PostInfinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

I wouldn't assume that. The WSU AD is going to be broke out of its mind within the next year or two, and we still have Captain StepsOnHisDick at the helm.Originally posted by TrackSuitAndTie View PostComment

The positive fan in you should take a step back as IB has stated he wouldn't feel right running players off. These transfers are all about the guys who were thrilled that he was given the HC job and then have since decided he's not worth playing for.Originally posted by AZ Shocker View PostInfinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

How long until the sunshine pumpers blame us "negative fans" for running the players off? LmaoOriginally posted by SubGod22 View Post"He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said. "He said he was going to be a Shocker forever." -- RIP Guy, you WILL indeed be a Shocker forever!Comment

Pretty sure I've already seen some of that elsewhere. It's amazing how some of them blame negative fans and don't think the losing and poor play have anything to do with it.Originally posted by shockerfan View Post
Personally, I don't care if the players like IB. Do they respect him as a leader? Will he put them in positions to win? Is he able to make them better?Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

I just hope IB starts hitting up the local Y soon for talent or we might miss out!Originally posted by Kel Varnsen View Post"He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said. "He said he was going to be a Shocker forever." -- RIP Guy, you WILL indeed be a Shocker forever!Comment

Wonder how many saw Trey Wade ... who most of them played with ... playing in the Elite 8 and hitting big shots thinking "that could be me next year" .... Transfer portal is a new world.Originally posted by shockerfan View PostComment

If I recall, a good chunk of posters here, myself included, wanted a full roster overhaul. That’s what we’re getting. We had 3 guys to retain plus Abidde and Ricks. So far, that’s playing out.Comment

That is definitely a possibility.Originally posted by Stickboy46 View Post
Plus, most of these guys came to play for Marshall. He is gone, they had a crappy year last year by our standards and several of them are running out of eligibility. That is why I am not too surprised at this point.
Yes, they were happy when Brown was promoted, but that was also during a successful period. They don't really have any loyalty to the man."He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said.

Pohto isn't going anywhere. Him and Abidde are very close. TBH those two leaving opens the door for TE to stay if he's not too far gone already.
