Come on errrrrrrrbody.......Its ok to support our school and hope for da best because I DO TOO!!!! However, I don't believe in fantasy expectations. Don't people realize that Eaves has done NOTHING to address his lack of an inside presence? ? Man, he has signed a 5'9", 150 lbs. pt. guard as a preferred walk on and some 6' 7" prospects. Even though, as usual, we will probably be last in the MEAC (and .500 in MEAC) in officially announcing our 2011-2012 recruiting class. What happened to recruiting an inside presence? And we need at LEAST 2 GOOD bigs for the coming year. Eaves might be able to FOOL some peps but he can't FOOL errrrbody!!!! Look at BCU's recruits and some of the other MEAC teams for this year........ BCU--6'8, 235 & 6'9, 250!!!! What is sad is Eaves will say," this recruiting class is my most athletic since I've been at A&T, we will have excellent length and explosive shooters." What is VERY UNFORTUNATE is that many fellow AGGIES will believe___WE READY, WE READY!!!!! Once again it looks like we will have the same old .500 in MEAC coach with NO size at pt. guard and NO size in the middle. WAKE UP, WAKE UP!!!!!!!

Aggie2ru,
You might as well relax, and I feel your frustration; but Eaves will be the Coach for at least this season. In my opinion if he does not hit some major accomplishments the chance of him returing for the 2012/13 season is slim to none at best.
Personally I hope he has finally got it all figured out and we can have an exciting mens season as we have had in womens b-ball over the past several years. I agree about the post player but Eaves career as Aggie mens basketball coach will either rise to the top in 2011 or crash an burn.

WAKE UP, WAKE UP!!!!!!! man, i don't even have to read your posts to know there will be a bashing of eaves in it somewhere. how many more times do you have to criticize eaves before you feel we on this board understand you don't like the man and you want him fired? i would suggest we all already know how you feel about eaves because you've only told us so about a million times. and to continue "relentlessly" bashing the man every chance you get is in poor taste in my opinion. criticize coaches? sure, that's okay. but to "relentlessly" bash coaches? i don't think so. you have every right to state what you want on message boards and there are many folk who agree with your assessment of eaves as a coach. but must you beat a deadhorse to death? it really gets old after awhile. i'm sure you can bring more enlightening points of view to the table than just criticisms of eaves...

Old school---I understand where you are coming from but it is time to WAKE UP!!! The two major revenue sports at A&T are basketball and football. We have made a serious attempt to address the football situation. Hopefully, we will see positive change there in the immediate and near future. Basketball's situation remains the same as long as YOU know who remains in charge. True dat---the eyes of people are all on him, but the truth of the matter is he should not have been given that last 3 year extension. That being said, sorry I will continue to voice my opinion (and I think it is very valid). 8 years and no championship or NO championship-contending team.......Eaves is a grown man and just because he is our basketball coach and we want our school to win does not justify for him to continue to get FREE passes. I am sure you know that this is BIG BOY stuff we are talking about. If he can't roll with the BIG DOGS Mr..500 in MEAC should stay on the porch!!!!! If you are for real Mr..500 in MEAC show me what u working with or do the step down............. School----if Eaves proves me wrong I will be the FIRST to admit it. We can sit back, once again, and hope for the best or just keep the pressure on and get rid of all this MEDIOCRITY at the very earliest!!! I know he is still under contract and I know how that all played out last time. We can't continue to make those same type mistakes over and over again. I'm gonna keep the heat on to do errrrrthing I CAN to make sure they don't sign him up for 3 more years!!!!---Oh yeah and by the way, I am no one trick pony---I have commented on this message board about a broad range of issues that did not concern Mr..500 in MEAC.

Aggie2ru,
I think we all hear you and at the end of the season that will be time to evaulate Mr. Eaves. It would be stupid to get rid of the man 4 months before practice begins. Whether we should have renewd his contract or not is a mute point 4 months before practice begins.
Just be cool; Coach Eaves performance THIS SEASON WILL DETERMINE HIS FUTURE. You admit in your post above that Eaves will be in place this season; so constantly throwing rocks at the man makes no sense. Everyone on this Board and all the way up to Chan. Martin know Eaves is in the hot seat!!!!

thefriscotxaggie-----I understand your point but we slipped up last time by re-upping him to 3 more .500 in the MEAC years. I don't take anything for granted (just looking at our buggling moves and decisions in the past). He will make a statement before the season begins that will convince a lot of folks that it will get better this year. THAT is his MO!!! Look closely at how he has done that every year in the past. Folks will believe it and its back on hot and popping. We need to be looking at next year's coach THIS YEAR!!! GO AGGIES

i don't know which newcomer will have the most impact, but that butler kid has some skills! judging from his videos, this dude is versatile with a strong inside game and will throw down a dunk on your azz in a heartbeat. i like his game, but i'm a little concerned about his height at 6'5" because it appears that he was most effective down low while in high school. but in college, it'll be difficult to do the things he did down low in high school because the guys are so much bigger than high school. however, other than that, he appears to be a "bonafide" ball player who can jump out the gym! i'm impressed with butler...

He can play Small forward. But I'd strongly suggest that he work on his handles and jump shot to be able to play shooting guard as well.

These kids will be a part of our future. If I'm not mistaken we have 7 seniors on the roster for '12-'13 . Hopefully, we will have significant contributions from this group.
I do know that Cy likes to grind it out and recruit as much as possible himself sooooo " true" bigs should be on the agenda for his second season.

i'm tellin' ya'll, better take a close look at butler! this boy has the tools! looks to be a true "athletic" scorer from inside and outside. i think cy must have stole this dude from some midmajors! he'll need to sharpen his perimeter skills a bit to play the 3 or even the 2 at the d1 level. but "athleticism" is written all over this kid... ;D
