Another alarming thought...

After sleeping on it, not much as changed, in fact, I am actually more concerned. There is no doubt that Jordan is a better player, a MUCH better player than he was when he arrived. Let's give Wojcik credit for that even though the other bigs he has signed have not showed much improvement in his tenure. Outside of that, is ANYONE better? Uzoh is not a factor here, he is the kind of player that was good when he stepped in, he would be excelling anywhere. In fact, I would argue that many players are WORSE for being with TU.

Ray Reese? This guy had David Shelton potential but his confidence has been shaken to the point where he is a non-factor in most games. Sam Mitchell? Yikes, poor kid is giving 100% effort but Wojcik just cant admit he has failed in bringing him along. Wheatley? Still a role player. Andrews? All kinds of potential when he came in but since he struggles on D, he was put in the doghouse, never to return the same. Hurtt looks like he could be solid but so did Andrews last year. What about Idlet and Richard? No way to know, they showed flashes, only to be forgotten about. None of JP's players got better under Woj and while we whined about the lack of talent, Ramsdell and McDade would start for us right now.

What about all the guys who have left? McLean? Coleman? Hall? Hill? James? Jackson? Hernandez? Maybe there IS a cancer in the locker room but could it be the coach? Food for thought. Say what you will about ORU but I bet Sutton could make an NCAA run with just the players that have given up on Wojcik.

I think the biggest problem Wojcik has right now is his relationship to the ever shrinking fan base. They don't like the guy. I went off on him last year when he was complaining about the home atmosphere and bragging about his record at home. That record was against THE WORST HOME SCHEDULES IN THE HISTORY OF OUR PROGAM. When you play crap teams during a downward time you cant call out the crowd. The anaolgy I gave last year was that it was like a preacher, yelling at the choir for the lack of church attendance. Hey buddy, preach better and preach something that people connect with and want to hear. If you piss off the choir, you got NOTHING.

At least the feeling is mutual. Wojcik does not like it here, he tried his best to get the Stanford job last year. I think now, we all wish he had.
