IMO this is a great recruiting video for LAMAR.  Good exposure nationally with the message  we are looking for good leadership to win championships.  LAMAR no longer willing to settle for less---period.

The few games I have been two for the last several seasons was not the kind of team LAMAR deserves.  Lets let this guy turn it around.

I dont disagree with what he said, but I'm not sure he should have said it like he did. How is throwing your players under the bus a recruiting tool? If you were a star recruit considering Lamar and saw that press conference, what would you think? I am a Lamar fan and pulling for the Cards and coach Knight. I just question how trashing your current squad is going to help your current and future situations. Good discussion y'all.

He's throwing them off the bus -- Obviously he has inherited players that dont fit the style or caliber of the type of team he feels that the university deserves.  IMO this video is an excellent recruiting tool to attract the type of character he expects.  If you dont fit in this style --then both parties can save lots of unnecessary time and in this case potential embarressment.

It looks good to parents who are thinking about sending their kids off to school and making that decision about schools and the coach. Its a two -way street. Coaches need kids with character to help keep their jobs and parents are looking at coaches to see whose gonna take care of their babies ;D

I can see it from both sides of the argument but I think you have to try something else after you chew that out day after day privately. But I wouldn't have been that strong about it.

I can't see both sides! I think coach Knight explained it well yesterday in an interview.  I agree with how he see's this.  Maybe the young men respond positively and maybe they don't. Either this will have a positive negative impact on their future depending on how they respond.  I believe he did just as much to get them to make a positive change in their future as he did to get them to play their very best on the court.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      Phelan and Karl Rove!

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.
