Well when I thought things were going well and positives to take from the tournament I go on twitter and find a lot of negative comments from our guys like Ndour Stevie and Treg. I really thought we were on the right track for conference play but what are your thoughts? I know the season is a grind but come on...

I have no clue what the problems are. However I can guess. 10 games in and we are starting to new frosh instead of some of the returners. What do you think is going to happen?

Predicting you will see at least one transfer at the end of the year. New coach, new system, guys too far from home.

It was pretty apparent that some of our players are frustrated with one player in particular. I saw three separate instances where players expressed frustration towards this player during the game. Not sure if that carried over to any locker room drama though.

I think it has something to do with the young guys getting big minutes. I'm sorry I like Stevie T a lot as a person and his intensity but not so sure about his game anymore. I like the young fellas. I also think we need to get the ball to Ndour more on the block and in transition but he is so raw still. I thought his trip would bring us closer together. Even at 1-2 I liked our play for two of those games and saw us grow. We don't need the drama I hope Saul deals with the issue now.

Today was the first and only play of ours that I,ve seen this year.

My main impression is that we don,t have any distinctly good player(s).

Caught some of the twitter stuff as well. Not sure how big of a deal it is, but looks like Phillips might have to take care of an issue or two.

If people aren't happy about playing time, they can only look at their own stat lines. I'll be surprised if we can catch magic in MAC play. Depth is a major issue and there just isn't any consistency. NDOUR needs to play like a MAC Player of the Year candidate to help off-set our issues at PG.

Oh and what happened to Wadly? He's gone from starter to 0 minutes?
