Rick Houston probably did, but it's a really short list if you exclude first games of the season.

I keep reading how thin Noyes is.
he doesn't look overly thin to me at all. especially for a perimeter player. maybe next to Tyler, but Tyler's jacked.

I will say spiderdad always poo pooed Noyes based on his lack of strength. Not trying to bang on sdad, but think that may have influenced folks because I know I read it a few times on here and it influenced me.

I mean, my opinion on Noyes was influenced by the coach because I assumed if 96% of the way through the season he had gotten about the same amount of playing time as I have he either wasn't ready at all or just not that good 🤷‍♂️

Same as it ever was.

I get that…he has put on weight/muscle since. Guys still lift during season but more than anything I think he was stuck behind vets.

I think we have some decent players, lots of potential. I hope they all transfer. I’m just sick of underachieving teams. Mooney has been bailed out by two great point guards, they weren’t paid for saving his job. Mooney has gotten rich doing very little. I’m just tired of it.

Who knows, maybe Moon handed them both a few stacks under the table after they graduated as a thank you 🤑

I wish that was the case and if so, someone reported it. Only way we get rid of the Mooney is if he nails a cheerleader or is caught doing something like this. Which, heck, with NIL, is probably legal now anyway.

I could almost agree with your point.....except, you know, Mooney is the coach and we've seen the slow rollout of solid players in the past with the Moondog. TJ Cline springs to the mind, who of course would later become A10 POY.

TJ didn't start ... for 7 whole games. he still played every game and scored in double figures in his first 4 games as a Spider. he averaged 23 mpg his first year here, which was more than he got at Niagara.
not exactly a slow roll out compared to Noyes.
heck of a player.
