Let's line up this guy with Jayden Quaintance and Koa Peat next season.

Sounds like a really interesting prospect. What I just read says that he plays more like a forward. Can run the floor and even shoot the 3, shooting 42% over his last 12 games. Currently averaging 21 pts, 8 rebs and 2 blocks per game.

Man, that was rough. Great run to force OT but then just a miserable overtime. Nothing fell and could not get a stop to save our lives.

We’re so outmanned in just about every game… Bobby needs to find more top-tier talent and more quality depth if we have any chance of competing in the Big 12.

I would argue he has the talent but cannot coach them up

This kinda feels like the case whenever we look bad. He's got two 5* dudes on the team now. He's had talented guys in the past. But, one thing that I've noticed for all of Hurley's teams, is that whenever things get tight, dudes very often lose it and I see a lot of 1 on 5 plays. Ball movement stops. Setting up good shots stops. Whoever has the ball just tries to run the show themselves and end up taking poor shots.

And I cannot remember the last time Bobby took a TO during an opponents run that actually did anything.

This has been my complaint about him for years. He lets his guards have too much freedom and doesn't really run an offense. You watch other teams and they call a timeout where they run a play and get a layup for a cutter or a wide open three. You almost never see great set plays by ASU under Hurley. Too much relying on his players athleticism. This should be a winning team but I doubt we are .500 in conference play.
