    I think high major coaching jobs are going to be interesting to watch in the next decade. I almost wonder if guys will be more hesitant to jump up ranks. Seems like not only has pressure increased, but the job demands so much more.

    It’s been indicated that we probably aren’t pursuing any of the currently available players. I hope we at least kicked the tires on Joe and Kerr.

    It’s not like KK is infallible. It’s been brought up numerous times he isn’t a great locker room guy. We saw how that affects a team last year.

    My kingdom for stability at the PG position. Also the beginning of the end for my mental health for next year. I’m finally coming around to a PG rotation of Ty, Harmon, Harris, and DGL. That feels like it could be an average big ten PG position team. Excited mostly to see Sinceres sophomore...

    Clearly the biggest and saddest takeaway from this is Dain losing the dragon horn hairdo.

    Does Goode have three years left or was his recruiting class the first without a Covid year?
