Has Graves checked out like Cristobal?

[duck023]

He isn't the coach he used to be and I'm starting to wonder if a dream job has popped up or something.

It must be rough always being on edge...

But seriously, I don't know where you come up with this stuff. Checked out? A coach with two top-2 recruiting classes in three years is not checked out. The women's team not being up to your standards is 50% attributable to a really weird COVID year (where chemistry could not be manufactured out of thin air), and 50% due to key injuries (a healthy PaoPao may have elevated Oregon to the Elite 8 or beyond. Don't forget how close Oregon was to beating Stanford last year). This year has been brutal with early injuries, but none appear season ending.

Get a grip, and buckle up and support them while they get healthy and be ready for a good run in the tournament.

It injuries and depth issues plain and simple.

At this point is everyone still expecting PaoPao to have a regular career? she will be in and out of the team constantly due to injuries. Not her fault of course, but I'm not sure we can count on her to be here at long periods of time.

Wow! Calm down Francis. Graves has just recruited arguably the top class so far again this year. Injuries will work themselves out. I think he’s going to be here for a long time. By the end of the year Oregon will be just fine.

Go DUCKS!

Have certain fans checked out? Of reality?

I mean there's only so much you can do with the lack of quality players on the roster. We are left with pretty much a pre-Graves era type of players right now (and without a Jillian Alleyne type), so we can only get so much.

The game against McNeese should answer the OP’s question. A minute and a half into the third quarter Graves yanked the starters out and had a “chat” with them about coasting on a big lead. Trust me any team that gets a big lead on us won’t be coasting. Graves was pissed. Question answered. Plus you can see the development in his players. Watson, Parrish and hurst and others too.

The talent is there with this team. Now it just needs some ball handlers to get certain players the ball. Rogers should be back soon and Paopao will show up sometime in January. Plus, next year they'll have Chance Gray, who's as talented as they come.

[nogerO]

I really like the rapor that Prince and Watson are developing with their inside passing game. It's going to be a dangerous duo with that in the near future. Sky's the limit for this team if they can come together. They've never had a roster this deep with the talent they all posess.
