And Ryan Anderson has Ua on his short list of visits (with Iowa State and Indiana). I don't see him going there, but still- that's frightening.

I said if the Harrison twins return. Christon? Payton? Both are terrible shooters from 3 and from the stripe. Dinwiddie is far bigger, and better at key PG traits--getting to the line, shooting, and minimizing TOs. Napier is the only legit PG you could put ahead of Dinwiddie at this point after top 15 picks (assuming exum, smart, and ennis are top 15)

I'm not just posting my opinion. These are just projections.
From the Daily Camera - http://www.buffzone.com/ci_25573346/colorado-mens-basketball-buffs-using-loss-pitt-motivation
How about this as motivation: CU head coach Tad Boyle had that score — PITTSBURGH 77, COLORADO 48 — laminated and taped up on every door and on some of the walls in the basketball office, in the locker room and in the weight room.

Ski also said during the Selection Show that last years loss to Illinois was going to serve as motivation for the Pitt game.
nice link. Other than the motivation talk and SD talk, I liked the line about only needing one more team on the schedule. Do any ABers have enough info to start a 2014-15 hoops schedule sticky thread?
Using the term "BCS" is strange to me when describing a basketball opponent.

I don't think so, it's just saying a major power conference team. Sure, there are some good teams that aren't "BCS," but I think you know the caliber of opponents they are describing when using that term.
BCS stands for Bowl Championship Series. There are no bowls or divisions in D1 Basketball. Calling a program a high major or a blue blood program makes more sense in this context.

Agreed. Motivation isn't the problem, our offensive system or lack thereof is the major issue. We can't expect to win in the NCAA tourney scoring under 50 points (against both Pitt and Illinois). I hope Boyle really changes or hires someone that can help our offensive problems that we experienced last year and pretty much every year under Boyle.

I know what BCS stands for, thanks. I also happened to know that there aren't bowls or divisions in D-1 bball. I think MOST know the reference when they talk about BCS in a basketball context. This is a bit of semantics, you could say power conference as well.
No, actually, it's not semantics, as you just admitted.
I understand what he meant to say and when used in the context I understand where he was going. I think it is inappropriate terminology though.

The Illinois game wasn't an embarrassment....Pitt was to the 10th degree

Agreed. It's just one of those I'm skeptical of how much it will matter because of that. I don't mind the approach Tad is taking here, he knows more than I do. I'm just not sure how much it will matter in the end.
And who do you suggest firing? Pri or Rohn? Who are two of the top recruiters out here right now and are considered top coaching candidates? Rodney? Who's got the CU connection and who Will has said will be one of the top recruiters on the west coast in just a matter of time? Kearney? The man who has tons of experience as an assistant at top level schools and was a head coach at Holy Cross for a year?
I don't think Boyle should make a change just to make a change. I do hope either Pri or Rohn gets a HC job somewhere and we can bring in an offensive mind as an AC. Win-Win there. If they don't get a job I wouldn't suggest anyone on staff to be fired, nor do I think that would be something Boyle would even consider at this point.
One of Pri/Rohn gets a job, and Kearney takes their spot. We then get a young guy to come in and fill his spot.
One of the bigger things I heard being whispered this last year is that there were too many cooks in the kitchen. Bringing in ANOTHER guy doesn't help.
That makes sense to me. I think Kearney could be the offensive mind I was talking about. And younger guys tend to appeal to recruits.
Yep.
Problem we have at this point is that we have 4 coaches with Boyle, Pri, Rohn and Kearney who are "CEO types". It's not always the best dynamic when you have people on your staff who are over-qualified for the position they have. It would be good if someone got a HC job and it opened up a spot for another Billups type to be developed on the staff.

I could be reading this wrong but it seems as though Dinwiddie has made a decision to stay from this Twitter exchange from about 16hrs ago
- Spencer Dinwiddie @SDinwiddie_25 22h
- Lol every song lyric I post doesn't have something to do with my decision

Joe Urkel @Joe_da_bro 16h
- @SDinwiddie_25 Bro I don't know why you waiting so long on this. Just stay and let's make CU a powerhouse.

ironic tweet selection.
I wouldn't take anything from any tweet. If you look over the last month, it's pretty obvious Spencer's enjoying messing with all of us.
Now it's time for me to return to breathing into my paper bag and going back to the fetal position.
Listen to Goose
He just tweeted big weekend coming up and followed it up by saying all will be known when school dictates it

Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein 3h Have heard Colorado's Spencer Dinwiddie is extremely torn on whether or not to declare for the NBA Draft. Buffs would be Top 15 team w him.
