If only Drew didn't recruit Freshman we wouldn't have the humiliation of them leading us.

Where was this energy Sunday? Or in Tucson? Or Ames? What about Storrs?
Why do you only show up after wins?
Why did we lose Sunday? You told anyone who would listen the only reason the bears were losing games was because Rob Wright didn't start.
Should we expect 30 pieces going forward from VJ?
Will the Bears now win the B12?

What a comeback.

Sorry for your loss.
The 3 freshmen scored our first 20 points.
Answer my questions.
I believe the freshman are answering your question. And for the record one of them didn't play against Connecticut.
The freshman are answering what question? We're headed for the NIT barring a turnaround. I realize some of you care more about Baylor freshman getting drafted than Baylor actually winning ball games. (You fall squarely in this category)
You promised everyone starting Rob Wright was the answer to Baylor's problems. Please state their record since Rob entered the starting the lineup? You enjoy talking out of your ass and making incredibly exaggerated statements hoping to look intelligent. Lucky for you some posters believe the bull**** you spew.

Shall lead them to what exactly? This team is as likely as not to miss the tournament.
The victory laps being run here the last couple of weeks are ridiculous. We're 2-2 in our last four games with a disastrous home loss to TCU, a come-from-behind home win over a terrible Kansas State team, a solid road win over an talentless Utah squad and a loss to a middling and unathletic BYU team.
I have trouble getting super excited about how any individual player is performing given those circumstances.
I like Edgecombe and Wright. Both are good young players. But this team is a giant disappointment, and neither of those guys is consistently good enough to help this group overcome its myriad roster issues.
One of them will be gone next year and the only thing we'll have to show for his time in Waco is another high draft pick and a largely meaningless postseason award -- neither of which matter to me when they're not attached to team success.
It's certainly not VJ's fault we suck, but we suck nonetheless. I generally save my victory laps for actual victories.

Well said!
I think having a player as talented as VJ and another freshman as good as Wright yet still managing to be completely mediocre is fairly embarrassing.
It's actually pretty common. LSU had a couple of stud freshmen when Ben Simmons was there and missed the tourney, Kentucky has frequently disappointed with excellent freshmen, and Rutgers this season is currently on the outside of the tourney looking in with 2 of the top 4 projected picks in this year's draft. Arkansas's disappointing season is further evidence that having 2+ stud freshmen doesn't guarantee you'll even field a mediocre squad.Robert Wilson said:

It's all about the construction around the freshmen and the role they are asked to play. It's becoming quite evident that we screwed the pooch on roster construction this season, since two injuries have effectively tanked this squad's potential, and with the roster imbalance between front and back court, I'm not sure that we'd be performing at the level we're accustomed to even if Roach and Love had been able to stay healthy.
Agree with all that. Plenty of examples of it happening, but when it does it is a result of a failure of overall roster construction.Mitch Henessey said:It's actually pretty common.

Agree re: Roach. We've seen enough of that to have a good idea. I think Love would've lifted our performance, but it was not going to be an elite team no matter how you slice it, and I don't know if it was ever realistic to expect to get a long season of productivity out of Love.
