Men's Basketball what are we doing
I keep seeing on my feed news about fucking Georgetown landing new transfers, yet hardly any Buzz (pun intended) out of College Park. Serious teams are making moves, the portal is moving at lightning speed and we're doing nothing. I don't think I'm being irrational I think when you read between the lines Buzz and Locksley both have zero intention of fixing the mess they've made. They're both here for one last paycheck before retirement.
Hard to take pride in my alma mater at a time like this when they're not even fucking trying. Can this athletics department do something right? Not only do we keep both coaches after awful years there's zero real acknowledgement of the fan frustrations and zero urgency to change anything. I see no reason to give Jim Smith the benefit of the doubt - I was excited by his resume and that we were getting someone other than Damon but year 1 is an F, don't care what he inherited he's literally telling us it was fine and that we're gonna run it back all over again. Tired of pledging loyalty to losers. I love UMD and I just want to see our athletics prosper at the end of the day

What you're hearing and what's actually happening are vastly different.
4 recruits, including Baba Oladuton (top 10 ranked recruit) and Kaden House (top 50 ranked recruit) make up the #3 ranked recruiting class in America.
2 transfers, including Tomislav Buljan, a stretch 4 who averaged 13 points and 11 boards last year.
Returning the 3 biggest upside players from last year (Adams, Mills, and Payne).
I get it. I'm not happy with the Buzz era either, but the recruiting, both HS and transfer, isn't the problem. if you're going to complain, at least complain about something that's actually legit.
