YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Congratulation Butler

« on: April 04, 2011, 06:01:27 AM »

Nova,
100% agreed.   Beating Butler will not get us better recruits.  We need big guys who can play and Slocums top prospect is a 5-9 guard from Akron SVSM.  What the hell is he thinking? 
At least we can hope for 2011 Football to be better because b-ball at YSU is going nowhere.

Will extra money solve our problems?  As long as Strollo and Slocum are here we are a 10 win program at best.

You say I repeat the same thing over and over but you know I am correct.   Yens probably want to keep Strollo and Slocum because you must enjoy losing.  Open your eyes you fools!!!!!!
Don't start a thread that mentions a coaching change in our League when we need one if you don't want a reaction.  Let me sign off so I can enjoy watching this week the many Horizon League teams in a
post season tournament and only dream it could be us if we made a change and have fans that don't enjoy losing. 

Later and piece out brothers.

Loyola has the balls to make a change yet we flounder in the basement each year.  Nice going Strollo!!!

I think Boldon has the wom. on the right track.  They should only improve next year with most everyone back.  Nice job Boldon!  Maybe he can coach the mens team as well.

Did anyone listen to Sports Wrap on 570 Wkbn Today?   Lots of discussion about the b-ball programs.  Sounds like fans and media are losing faith in Slocum.  He and Strollo need to go but we all know that won't happen.  Strollo needs to go public with his plans on improving all sports before he is run out of town. He needs to get the community behind him and YSU instead of hiding when everyone is getting frustrated with YSU athletics. I personnally will not renew season tickets in b-ball mainly because it is too frustrating to watch us lose 20 games a year. 

No more excuses of money.  Get the right people here to do the job and we can succeed.  Slocum and Strollo are not right people.

Wow.  Even our baseball team is lousy.  Nice job STROLLO you managed to get just about every sport we play in finish in last place or next to last place.  I lost count when checking every single sports team at YSU (mens or womens) and we have at least 6-7 last place finishes in 2010 and then I gave up looking.  I don't think one of our programs had a winning record.  Most employers fire employees for poor performance but not YSU.  10 years of piss poor performance needs to end and Strollo needs to resign for the better of the University.

Dmorton-

I wish I knew why we cannot land a big man or two.  Plenty of 6-7 to 6-9 guys in juco and in our general area of Ohio and W. Pa.  What about recruiting the Pittsburgh area they always have 10-15 guys go D1 from that area each year?  I see we lost Tre Brown from Harding to Cleveland St.  You are not kidding when you said Slocum cannot recruit Ohio.  We cannot even get the D1 local prospects to come here.  D'andre Brown went to Cleve. St and the kid from Kennedy Christian who's name escapes me went to UNC-Greensboro and is doing really good.   I just want to see a solid winning year sometime in my lifetime.  Maybe I am asking too much.

I fully agree.  I tired of the excuses like we are a football school and have no money for recruiting.  It can be done but not with Slocum and Strollo around.  There are dozens of programs like ours who have succeeded by hiring the right person who has some D1 recruiting connections.

We let a 6-2 guard get 20 rebounds on us.  How embarrassing.  Can we at least recruit 1 inside player that can play?  How does every Horizon League team have 4 or 5 players 6'-8" or taller that actually contribute and we have none?  Recruiting budget my ASS!  We choose to go across country to sign the
6'-4" Juco.

Our team actually has good athletes but no real big men to speak of.  It seems Slocum has them play hot potato offense down the stretch instead of being aggessive.  If we look at halftime scores we are 12 wins, 12 losses, and 1 tie.   I believe we have blown 7 games with a lead around the 5 minute mark.  I don't blame that on talent but coaching and the fact that we cannot hit a free throw to save our lives.

Another brilliant idea by our wonderful athletic dept.   Way to drive revenue Strollo!!!  Attendance will be the same whether we had a promo or not.  Improve the product on the court and fans will come.  We are competitve but everyone knows we will lose the game the last 5-10 minutes every night as long as Slocum is our coach.  Even the halftime festivities are boring.  I wish President Anderson and the Trustees would wake up and do some mass changes.  Wishfull thinking on my part.

When he left SIU it was "mutual" according to the SIU sites.  Sounds like he has issues getting along with his fellow coaches.
