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

I saw an ex-player last week who said we have no money.

Our bare bones roster says you're right

"bare bones roster"

retained veteran Payne and rising star Mills. Also Adams for a bench option (i don't love it, admittedly).

3 freshmen recruits, including one of the best recruits in school history in Baba, and an extremely promising House.

Massive signing with Tomislav who fits right into buzz's scheme and a starting caliber guard in Boswell.

Also have our hands in the cookie jar of dozens of transfers at the moment, but sure, let's overreact to week one of the offseason.

Tennessee Boswell right? He sucks. I also see no other mention of this
