Louisville was one of the worst teams in recent memory

Correct. I dont. But I know he isnt playing in the NCAAT next year. Louisville is going to be bad again. Probably better. But bad. Its like asking the Willard/Cummings/Blount class to go make the NCAAT as freshmen and that was in an era where freshmen made big contributions. They dont anymore.
Not even close to an apt comparison again. I do like how you FINALLY admit you don’t know something about a subject
 
Maybe Payne is not a good HEAD coach, but he was a highly respected assistant at Kentucky and
got a big salary to move up to the Knicks. His forte was developing individual players ( Julius Randall
and M. Robinson as examples ). I’m not an expert like you guys but I wouldn’t bash him so much
after only one year.

All he has to do is CEO and recruit enough dudes. They are gonna keep raking on th recruiting trail with possible Duke decommit very soon.
 
So of course you make a proclamation and when called out about it, won’t back it up. Where have I seen this before?

And Flowers is better than all but 5 McDonald’s all Americans. He’s the elite of the elite
He just turned 18.

Emoni Bates was the elite of the elite of the elite. Top player in the country of his age since he was in 7th grade. Reclassified and was still a sure fire one and done lottery pick.

Went to Memphis with a boy’s body and mind to play for a coach who can’t coach.

He’s at Eastern Michigan now.

Nah. At the end of the day you can either coach or you can’t. The players alone won’t make him a championship coach.

You know this is Louisville right? They are a brand and have NIL money. They dont need a HC who cant coach but can recruit. They need to hire a real coach and the NIL money can do the recruiting. Payne isnt going to work out there, I am sorry to say.
 
But with highly rated players. Honestly the worst coaching job I ever saw. FSU was an all time bad coaching job as well
FSU seems to be getting worse this year. Might have another Q4 team unless they made some moves I'm unaware of

Didn’t say he was gonna win a championship. I said he was gonna accomplish the very easy task of making the NCAA tournament.

Contrary to popular belief, making the NCAA tournament from a P5 conference Is not difficult at all.

Btw, Kevin Ollie says hello.

And I asked you if he is going to make the NCAA Tournament next year? I am on record in saying his non-Micky D's freshmen arent making the NCAAT next year.

I said multiple times including in the post you quoted that they would. I’m being serious when I ask, do you read the posts?

So when they land McKenzie Mgabko do you amend your post? Or will that be your defense when they make the tourney? Because she’s a McDonald’s AA? Even though Trentyn is much more talented

No. I dont think Payne could get a Micky D's team to the NCAAT let alone a non-Micky D's team. Duke and UK have missed tournaments with Micky D's. Payne will too. Trust me. You need to get off his dick dude.

I know your position. You’ve said it 100 times. I am intelligent and can retain information my eyes have processed.

Get off his dick? He’s gonna have top 5 talented team in the ACC. I think he’s gonna do the absolute bare minimum with that talent and accomplish the very easy task of getting to the ncaa tournament.

You’re a very odd fellow.

He is maybe one of the worst coaches ever. Duke and Kentucky missed the NCAAT in eras when freshmen mattered and actually made a difference. Its unbelievable you think his group of a freshman plus a really had transfer PG who had an asssit to TO ratio of 1:1 is going to make the NCAA Tournament. They simply are not going to be able to beat 23 year olds from Pitt, Wake, NC State, VT, Clemson consistently enough. This isnt the Fab 5.

No horse in this race but you are on Payne’s jock a little. You can at least smell it in your sleep.

They have the #4 class in the country and have a chance at another all American. I’ve heard your viewpoint. Over and over. That’s great man

Great. But they are freshmen. And your boyfriend cant coach at all. And you are forgetting that only 3 or so ACC 12 teams are getting into the NCAAT. 1 will be Miami. Another will be NC State if Keatts doesnt screw them up too bad. Payne isnt beating out Pitt, Wake, VT, Syr, etc for that last ACC 12 bid. You are delusional.

You’ve said that. The same thing. Over and over. I get it. Your point is clear. No need to respond again.

And you go into the stupid ACC 12 thing and a certain amount of bids with no idea how many they’ll get. I’m quite certain they shouldn’t allow sharp objects around you.

Louisville will have a new HC by the 2027 season. They should be a Top 20 program with all the support they get.

Duke, UVa, and UNC (assuming Hubert doesnt blow it again) are getting in. The ACC still isn't too good and wont get more than 6. You do the math.

Miami is in. NC State you never can be too sure but they never lack talent and older talent. Not many bids left for your boy.

We’ll see. It’s a long way from 4 wins to an NCAA tournament birth, even with a watered down ACC. It’s not like it’s some unattainable mark but my money’s against it. Bunch of 18 year old prima donnas just looking to do their one year penance and showcase their individual game + weak inexperienced coach = not much.

Other than older kids, not much of a difference than when Capel was coaching for his job this year. If this were the ACC of old id think not, but coaching 1 and dones is more in his wheelhouse than guys like El Ellis.

Other than the older kids??????? That is WHY Pitt and others made the NCAAT. I will sit here and wait for you to name how many freshman-laden teams made the NCAAT besides Duke and Kentucky. There's a reason there werent any others. You need to stop with this. I'm giving you a chance to retract your statement and you keep digging in more. I dont know what it is. I cant believe you have so much trust in 18 year olds and a horrible coach.

They have a top 4 class and possible top 2 if they land McKenzie. That is Kentucky Duke territory.

Its not Kentucky/Duke territory. That is landing #1, 3, 5, 10, and 12. They have #17, 58, 62, and 72. That isnt anywhere close to UK/Duke territory. That's Willard/Cummings/Blount territory. I'm in amazement that you think the worst coach of all time is going to lead a bunch of non-McD AA freshmen to the NCAA Tournament.

If you respond saying the same thing a 15th time, I’ll change my opinion. 14 isn’t quite enough.

Well somebody’s prediction will be right and somebody’s will be wrong. The fun of it is we will get to see how it all plays out when the season arrives.

You dont have to wait. Payne isnt taking them from 2-18 to 14-6 with 18 year olds.
 
Trentyn Flowers gone to Australia. Looks like your Cards' NCAAT hopes are done. Hard to believe he can make more in Australia than the ACC.
Their 3rd string PG who is a head case leaving doesn’t change their trajectory. They will either win or lose based on whether Nolan Smith and co can get these guys to play together
