    I know one play doesn’t make a game or season…but goodness what might have been if that ref, staring directly at the illegal action, had the balls to throw the flag.

    My thoughts as well. In his 2nd year he utilized a staff he put together and got the most out of a mixed bag roster and achieved the best season we’ve had in over 10 years. Unless it becomes abundantly apparent BB can’t function in this NIL/transfer world, he’s probably gotten 2 extra years of...

    That doesn’t refute that he still liked Domask and has the screen shots that show it. It just shows he wanted to role the dice with RJ (a known and struggling player that possibly could have been fixed) for two years over the unknown of Domask for one. Though, for Domask being unknown Gritty...

    I see BH as more of Domask, booty ball, replacement but able to hit a turnaround 3 and still finish at the rim like MJ. (Probably the closest/best comparison) He’s our new CoHawk but with the vision and first step of Demitri McCamey. I see him as the starting 5. 🫡

    I wonder if the staff/admin caught wind that our insiders were giving out tongue-in-cheek references to meetings that may or may not have happened and then found out about this “report” and told them to cool off on spreading info to the masses for awhile. It almost feels like the person got...

    They have momentum, that’s for sure. And word has gotten out. My biggest hope is somehow, someway they have to renege on a bunch of these deals due to lack of funds and they have a huge reputation hit and mass exodus. Unfortunately I’m not holding my breath for such luck.

    Since the portal and NIL world really took off over the last 2 years, Brad has put together an underachieving 9 seed with no chemistry and an over achieving 3 seed with togetherness out their whazoo. This year feels more like the 9 seed in the off-season. I’m not saying it WILL be that, but...

    Here’s my thing with the portal and how Brad has maneuvered in it. 1. It has to be done, it’s the new way…so we will need to get used to it in some way. 2. Brad is a culture guy, and bringing in an almost entirely new team in a given year could make maintaining the culture tough. 3. The way...

    In this day and age, I disagree. Negotiations actually seem to be getting MORE similar to recruiting by the day. Fit with the head coach, compensation, location, conference, school/coach reputation…those are factors in assistant coach decisions…and sounds very similar to recruiting. (With...

    Hopefully it’s done…but I’ll wait until we see it publically. Storr was also done…then a variable came in and changed the game (mom? Money?…etc…Doesn’t matter). Fingers crossed we can get OA back. 🤞🏻
