Again, there’s way too much revisionist history surrounding Jalen Celestine…he’s a solid basketball player, but a career 5.6 ppg scorer that can not create his own shot is not the missing piece for a Mark Fox offense…
A better coach would do much more with him…he is not saving this team, especially coming back from a torn ACL, though, and his absence is nothing more than a Knowlton/Fox excuse.

If you repeat something enough, people will believe it...one player, who is probably average to above average, is going to change the trajectory of a 1-13 team? Forget it. Let's stop the spin that Celestine (even if he is good) is the solution. The solution is to end the madness now and let Mr. Fox go. The kids deserve better.
Bob does have one good point about transfers: Bradley + Kelly + Justice Sueing (who also left for Ohio State and people seem to forget about) and this would be a good team, they'd probably even have gotten some better players along the way. But there's a reason they all left...think about it.
Fox is such an inept offensive mind, I honestly question if he could’ve had much success with even those players.
There’s zero imagination…it’s a poor scheme that lacks spacing…it’s basically a ball dominant guard dribbling around. That’s why the return of Clayton and Celestine doesn’t move the needle a bit, and why Fox and Knowlton’s reliance on them is just laughable…the scheme is an inefficient mess, and his substitution patterns are the basketball equivalent of icing your kicker. The only thing that could save his offense is efficient, NBA talents making quality, individual plays.
