We had no issue getting big name teams in the past.

This isn't quite accurate. From 2000-2004, at least, Urbana was 18 and Champaign was 19. And I've been to most Big Ten campuses and only Iowa and Illinois allowed people under the age of 21 into bars.

Hawkins got the combine invite. Lanier did not. https://www.nba.com/news/78-players-invited-to-participate-at-2024-nba-draft-combine

Tennessee is heavily involved...to the point where their board thinks they're the favorite.

We're not operating a net loss on transfers, which is what the post was referring to. If the transfer rankings were net transfers out and transfers in, we'd still be well in the black.

Just curious, which parts are you saying aren't true?

Cool story. What's your point? If a team earns a No 1. seed, earning the 1 seed is support of the coach's ability. My point is that using an Elite 8 appearance as a 12 seed where the bracket fell apart as proof of coaching ability is a very poor argument. A guy who never finished higher...

He never finished better than 5th in the Big 12. They made the Elite 8 without beating a top 3 seed. He coached when I was in school and I thought that Mizzou teams were pretty mediocre.

Likely, a very intelligent individual.

I'm not old enough to know but I'm guessing there were guys like you, saying the same thing when free agency came to professional sports. Johnny Damon on the Yankees? That's unnatural!! The horror! <clutching pearls>

I think he entered before Aidoo?

Awaka isn't back yet either. Barnes got Knecht to 100 DRtg. You're probably right he can get Lanier there too. Big get for them if it does happen.

His DRtg was 110. TSJ's this past year was 106 (he was in the 90s every other year). It will be interesting to see how he gets along with Barnes. That guy is all defense.

I took it as Ant Wright asking Chester why he was transferring since Chester Frazier and Caleb Hunter look alike. I didn't take it as a shot though. And I definitely could be wrong on all of that.
