No not at all but maybe with Wilborn Allen leaving might have messed things up let’s see if it can get solved tomorrow. Hopefully it can. With JT, Gholston, Baldwin, etc... This team could make a run in the tourney. Not to mention JT seems from my perspective the most important leader on the team. Always loved his game because he reminds me of a slightly smaller version of Akeem. High basketball IQ, plays the game the right way, good teammate, doesn't mind contact and would rather get the ball to the rim instead of chuck up a 3.

Yes, this board wants Josh Thomas back! I never meet him. Seems like a nice young man. Great smile. Let's his game come to him. Doesn't force the issue on the court.

This team could make a run in the tourney. How about a winning regular season record, or even .500... This head coach hasn't shown a capability to do any of those things over 4 seasons, so I'll be damned if I'm just going to start throwing him NCAA Tourney wins like an Oprah show giveaway. One step at a time. Look at all the talent that Wojo squandered across town. You really think that PBS can't manage to screw it up even with a so-called 5 star recruit? I'll bet he can!

I will tell him how you feel about him thank you very much. If I were speaking with Josh, I would say it like this: "The grass is always greener on the other side" is a common idiom for a reason. We are human beings, and we're always going to wonder how our lives would have turned out if we had made different decisions, and we think maybe there are drastic things we can do to take things back or make our future better. Oftentimes, it's the drastic changes in pursuit of a better future that end up causing you down the road to look upon your current situation with nostalgia. I don't know a single player over my time around the program who had smooth sailing the whole time. That includes guys who were on the Sweet 16 and 2nd round teams in 2005 and 2006. I've talked at length with guys who went to the Final Four with Butler who hated playing for Brad Stevens, Matt Graves and Micah Shrewsberry on occasion, and they almost won a national title. Sometimes you don't get along with a teammate or a coach, sometimes it's people outside the program, or people on campus. There's always going to be people you don't find yourself vibing with from time to time. Adversity is always around in athletics, but this is good for the development of young men. Friction with teammates or coaches, coworkers or classmates isn't always a red flag saying you've got to get out of the situation. More often than not, it's an opportunity to get better at communication, managing relationships and even just learning how to deal with not being everyone's favorite person. I believe the causes of friction Josh has with coaches are real. I'm happy that he's choosing the mature route of communicating with his coaches and working through their issues to continue a professional relationship that I would say has worked out well for both Josh and the staff. There's over 1,000 hoops players in the transfer portal right now. That's 1,000 guys who have decided their current situation is no longer worth working to make better. Are those 1,000 guys who have been failed by their coaching staffs? Or are a not-insignificant amount of those guys unwilling to work through problems that are absolutely fixable? If there's one thing I know about Josh's situation from afar, it's that I can tell he's a reasonable man. I can see from your post history that he's had some difficulties that he's worked through; that's the measure of someone who doesn't jump into the transfer portal on a whim. I can tell you, and you can tell him, that no matter what he decides to do with his future, we support him here. That said, the thought of a lineup with Te'Jon Lucas, Josh Thomas, Dree Gholston, Jordan Lathon, Pat Baldwin Jr., potentially Jordan McCabe and a defensive-minded glass-crashing big-to-be-named-later? That puts a smile on my face. That's an insanely talented top end of the rotation. And I think Josh would be the lynchpin there. He and Te'Jon complement each other so well, with Gholston on the wing? Another year they'll be much better, but throw in a talent like Pat Jr. and there's a tide that raises all ships. I do hope he decides to stay and work things out. There's absolutely a place for him right at the center of an NCAA Tournament run, and I'm glad the NCAA gave everyone the extra year so we can afford the opportunity to see all these guys play together.

Hell yes! Everyone’s ass is on notice. JT will be as important as anyone on the team next year. An efficient player who is clutch and showed up the most when we needed him the most. This group will have high expectations, and rightfully so. It’s a great day to be a Panther fan

Not sure our moderators are on this site. I think we might not have any. I guess this thread can be locked. Let's put it this way, I hope the people at Milwaukee don't worry about this site. If they are worried about what a fan said on this site. Don't go to Kentucky, Michigan State, etc for a job. It's a walk in the part over here.

Looks like OnMilwaukee hired a couple of Marquette grads who weren’t able to pass the Bar Exam.
