    10 commits. 56 other P5 offers. 5.6 per guy. Highest I’ve seen in a long time. The guys without others are Hansen and Orr. Hansen according to Werner has been getting calls from huge schools about how commited he is. Rumor of Wisconsin and Michigan reaching out. Orr I can understand why he...

    Who cares about conference records? Like honestly. Does beating Minnesota in January mean that much? The conference sucks in March anyway. And no other big ten team has had as many transfers in the past 4 years than we have had. It’s not a NIL thing.

    We ask for kids to have loyalty when coaches don’t have any to the players. Underwood flirts with other jobs every offseason and left OKSU after 1 year. Assistant coaches go to the highest bidder. Kids will commit then back out. It’s all a business now.

    If Williams doesn’t end up playing this year… and we don’t have another PG come in. I’m LIVID if I’m Coleman and TSJ. Your coach isn’t putting you in the best position to succeed. I’d honestly consider a transfer. Coaches are no longer loyal to players. Players aren’t gonna be loyal to coaching...

    4th best record in a conference that routinely doesn’t compete in March. First round exit in BTT and a poor showing in the NCAA. Regular season wins are great. But at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter. Nobody gives out banners, rings or trophies for wins against Minnesota in January...

    As a donor. Yeah my money does in fact pay him. He’s currently the 7th highest paid coach in the country… are we getting ROI on that? Up for debate. We’ve heard the “nobody wants to play us” mantra before. It’s a lot of coach speak. I will agree to disagree with brads capable leadership. I think...
