Poll results proving me wrong. Looks like almost a third of CB

paulb

6:08pm

I fully expected us to compete well against middle of the B12.

Yes allowing 500 rushing yards to a middling Big 12 team was a surprise.

I expect us to be bowl eligible most years.

Without any blue bloods, in the conference, bowl-eligibility should be the floor

This is the answer. Steel out to 1,000 yds at the regular range and targets

NarfUte

He’s more of an inconsistent shooter. Waterman was great with his cuts and

HimmerFredette

Not sure what highlights you watched but Demin is not Aaron Gordon.

kimdaddy35

It’s his off ball movement that reminds me of gordon

HimmerFredette

6:01pm

Lots of alley-oops? I didn't see that on the film I watched but that is good

kimdaddy35

His cuts and how he camps at the low block. Not alley oops but close to it

Gordon isn't really in the low block but the dunkers spot waiting for

He can do that too

Brownies are not and should not be cake. Period.

Neither, the chewie type with chocolate chips. Or brownie brittle.

Hypnotoad

I think it is safe to say that Cougar Nation (yes, even beyond CB), has a short leash for Kalani this season.

Yllage Vidiot Humbly Awesome

4:42pm

Is that not reasonable though?

HimmerFredette

4:46pm

It’s reasonable to me. Personally I’ve been over him for a couple of years. Patiently waiting for the next coach.

Yllage Vidiot

4:48pm

He can’t act clueless in games and post game interviews about what happened

jpal1397

4:56pm

Either you're too young or too old (memory issues) that you've forgotten how LaVell was in post-game interviews. No

ManicBlue

5:08pm

It was funny when Kalani actually did say a player made a mistake (the Retzlaff

Junior Deputy

5:44pm

That play should never have had a pass option. We were successfully moving the ball on the ground. Keep it simple.

Idacoug

I’ve said on CB several times that we have seen his ceiling. I don’t think he’s going to suddenly become a great coach.
