It's going to get worse

[PittMiamiRivalry]

Pitt basketball has effectively self-immolated. Stallings isn't capable of stringing together wins and the blood-bath that is the ACC season awaits.

Pitt was arrogant and stupid (typical) with its basketball pricing.

If tickets were free would they win more games ?

-Try and recruit when you have under 1000 fans at a basketball game. I think we have a player visiting during the Miami game. Have a 1000 fans or under show up with a lifeless crowd and get annihilated at home, and see how much interest that recruit has after the game.

-How are you guys not seeing the light that you simply cannot have this type of weak fan support and how it can potentially crush this program to all time lows.

-I feel like Pitt basketball is a stock in the stock market that has completely diluted all its shares within 2 years and is about to file Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

-Dam I hope this season doesnt crash and burn but look out below if it does and more players transfer out of the program. This could get worse, much worse.

Pitt plays at Miami , good idea taking the recruit to SFl
in Dec !
Listen it's this simple Pitt wins they can overcharge for tickets and people scoop them up they lose and you can't give them away .
Pitt hired KS knowing his resume , he wasn't an unknown . I've said this before they didn't hire KS with expectations of winnng the ACC . PITTS expectations aren't the same as it's fans !

-Pitt plays Miami at home in 10 days. I believe the recruit is Tre Mitchell I think if I remember correctly visiting.

Yeah, Pitt if basketball was a stock, it was bid up during a 15 year bubble. And then crashed due to a poor CEO.

Miami is a home game.

I love how some on here criticized me when I said that it's a possibility that after this season, some players may transfer out and they'd be some who we wouldn't want to lose. Now others are saying it. Let's face it...why would any kid want to play for this coach in an empty arena with no atmosphere?

Thank you for the update. This is all new to me and everybody.

Where are they transferring to and what stock have they shown that someone would want?

 

[HailToPitt1985]

I'm just saying there is a possibility some will transfer. I don't know who they are. No one does. But it would stand to logic that if a couple of these guys do show they can play at this level at some point in the season, they just might consider transferring. This is not a good program right now. Good players don't leave good programs, and good players leave bad programs.

 

[Pittx9]

Marcus Carr I think we'd all say is the guy we don't want to lose and has the most potential. Then I hear we can be really good in 2 years, I hear guys may transfer before that though. Here's my worry, we need to win next year. Carr is a stud, he legitimately may be one of the best in the ACC by next season. Why would he transfer though and stall his career? I think we need to be worried that this kid is so good... he may go to the NBA after next season.

It's also possible that Coach K decides to leave Duke and become the new hc at Pitt !
It's also possible that three of the top 50 uncommitted hs seniors decide Pitt is it!
It possible that an asteroid strikes earth and next season is cancelled!
Joe the Panther Fan will have the exact odds of these events occurring I'm just saying there all possible !

He's talented...
but, nowhere near that talented.

that's not a slight to Carr...but, just reality.

On the other hand, that recruit could be sold by the idea of "WE NEED YOU, you can get a lot of immediate playing time, even start for an ACC team".

Well...stallings has that chance this lastvrecruiting season and it didn’t exactly land many great players...

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

You'd think that would have worked last recruiting cycle, too.
Or when Stallings was hired with 4 seniors leaving in that cycle.

 

[pitt2533]

Man..... thank god..... Just when I was forgetting how bad of shape we were in as a program this thread comes along and knocks me back into reality. I mean it has been like 20 minutes since the last one so thank god we have another Pitt sucks thread. Otherwise, I might be thinking we are heading to the final four this year.

Not yet he's not at least. This is a whole year away and then some though. Im not saying he absolutely most certainly will be that good, I'm just saying as good as he is now, what he could potentially develop into.

 

[Parkview57]

Can't wait for Stallings to utter the phrase "third, first year".

I don't know about exact odds, but the third one of those is by far the most likely.
