Good news for Schertz and SLU, Gibby returning (16 pts). https://x.com/JimersonGibson/status/1778846816571720067 Probably an unintended consequence of NIL - It's more tenable for Jimerson to stick around for his sixth(!) year, instead of going pro, since the money (six figures) is probably about th...

Manyawu is a very good rebounder, and shot 60 percent from the field. Excluding Bilau's small sample size, Manyawu's per 40 stats from Wyoming would have led out team last year in rebounds... And steals, which I realize is damning with faint praise, because we didn't have anyone that could pressure ...

He made seven 3-point shots in two years, so it's really amusing to see like four of them in his scouting tape. He had 21 attempts in 42 games, so it's not like he's a Rory Stewart-style chucker from deep. The size is appealing on paper (6'8", 210), but it didn't really translate to his rebound...

In case there was still any doubt by the way, sources have seen Kenny Johnson on campus in the last few days. As I’ve said from the beginning, he is the hire.

Okay, fine, but it's as bizarre as shit that they're dragging it out THIS long now.

That's probably a bot or an aggregation account that posts somewhat automatically, judging from how it formats all of its entries. And, I think I said it in another post, but walk-ons probably have to formally transfer like any other player to avoid cute tricks with that. Speaking of transfers, reme...

Traore basically didn't play for two years at St. John's, under two different coaches, and he didn't really do much with what little he did play. I'm hoping we can do better, and that he's a pure back-up option or deep depth / upside play.

Sometimes I wonder if some coaches float NIL disinfo out to misdirect the competition. This post comes courtesy of my cynical fan side. Of course they do. And, I imagine that similar to a normal job market, players float "go away" numbers to programs they're not actually that interested i...

It happened multiples times in football this past year, now in basketball. Head coaches of programs either taking a coordinator/assistant job at P5, or going to the NFL (Jeff Hafley went from BC head coach to Green Bay DC.) Chip Kelly from HC at UCLA to Ohio St OC. Coaches just want to coach and no...

A D1 head coach that had previously brought his program to the NCAA is leaving to become an assistant at another school https://twitter.com/PeteThamel/status/1778172397914386753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1778172397914386753%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url= Eh, make...

I think it was discussed in one of the more general recruiting threads, but yeah, I'll put it here too.

I don't really think that the raw viewership number for the men's game matters all that much, unless they absolutely crater to the point that the bottom falls out of the advertising. So far for major American sports, that's really only happened for NASCAR and temporarily hockey, because of its vario...

FWIW - Whether we're talking Miller, Hurley, Cox, Baron or other programs, I kind of think that assistants probably get too much of the credit for landing recruits. Ultimately, it's the head coach that's making "yes/no" decisions on recruits like 90, 95 percent of the time, and I sincerely...

The URI to Canisius pipeline continues, inexplicably!

I don't think Dan goes to Kentucky either, but they are one of those programs that could make such a good offer that he might need to entertain it. Getting offered by decent high majors while he was at Rhody is one thing. Getting offered a stupid amount of money to coach at one of the biggest progr...

wow. didn't have Calipari leaving on my bingo card. nothing should come as a surprise anymore but this still did. It's a pretty shrewd move on his part, since he seemingly had one year left in Kentucky without a deep NCAA run. Jumping to Arkansas probably extends his clock if he wants to keep coach...

I was hoping we would reach out to him, posted earlier in this thread. (PF/C Albany) Jonathan Beagle (6'10"/240) averaged 12.5 pts/ 9.5 rebs, commits to Richmond. https://x.com/jbeagle15/status/1777087497324859423 Doesn't seem like a fit for us anyway - his defense numbers are awful. He had 8 ...

Wild. Sounds like it might be done:

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-baske ... l-arkansas

If a player like Joseph commands 500k we are screwed. I seriously doubt that number though. 100k tops. It's like everyone has a price tag attached to them. It's gotten beyond ridiculous. Believe it’s well north of 100k, but would be shocked if it approached 500k. They did have to be competitive wit...

That would be perfect. He can go there, average 20 a game, and the team will win 10 games a year - but two of those will be against us when he goes off for 40 each time. It would be the absolutely perfect storm of frustration for us.

https://x.com/247HSHoops/status/1776294869704524198 Seems kind of underwhelming, from his stat line - doesn't get to the line, shoots OK but not great, not a huge amount of assists or steals. Unless they see something on his scouting tape they like, he seems more like a depth piece than someone tha...

Bronny James declares for NBA draft, enters transfer portal

https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/stor ... fer-portal

If Georgetown wanted KJ, it seems bizarre to me that they wouldn't just get it done by now and have him in the fold. Like at this point, he's missed a couple weeks of recruiting. Why wait until after the Final Four to hire someone unless it is an assistant on one of the remaining teams? Providence's...

Louisville's lone remaining scholarship player has entered the portal. Every player from the 23/24 team is now portaling. As Grace Slick say 55 years ago: "It's a new dawn." The coach that recruited them got fired, and they went 8-24 this year. I kind of doubt either side was eager for th...

Carter seems like one of those guys that probably won't ever be an all-star, but he'll have a solid career for plenty of years. He had a big jump up in production this year, but it was across the board, not just because he shot better. It looks like initially played for Frank Martin at South Carolin...

Hopefully Eastern Washington is already on the dial with the coach at Southern Washington or Washington Polytech.

Kind of a no-brainer to roll the dice on if you have a chance to get him, at the A-10 level. The shooting wasn't great, but every other aspect of his game was really good for his freshman year. He's obviously not a serious NBA prospect now except for nepotism reasons, but even in roughly 25 games he...

These guys transferring 3 times or more are not helping themselves academically. Chances are they’ll need that degree post basketball. No idea how schools even deal with that. (We couldn’t get a player who transfers once). For athletes and non-athletes, it is substantially easier nowadays for cours...

It's kind of weird to me that a walk-on has to go into the transfer portal, but I imagine it was largely to prevent messing around with roster rules back in the day. I assume he's probably going down the divisions to actually play, or transferring closer to home, like our previous walk-ons that have...

Yeah, that's a couple days old at this point.

Edey is the modern, big man version of James Harden. Just creates tons of contact on basically every play, and almost never gets called for a charge. It's effective, but it turns the game into an unwatchable slog.

For what it's worth KJ has started following former Pitt center Federiko Federiko Crazy name alone I think he's a natural fit 🥰 Link to his Sports Reference page: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/federiko-federiko-1.html His blocks per 40 would have easily been best on our team last yea...

Thats too bad on Zek, he obviously had a rough season, but I still thought there was some potential there. This is one where I'd be real curious to know which side initiated it. I usually consider myself annoyingly logical about hoops, but there is something about watching Montgomery and Weston tha...

Already posted in the general thread, but updating this one too.

Fairfield has four g's in portal. Stags have beautiful new (small) arena perfect for a school of their size. I guess it didn't matter. Hope AMiller is giving Jalen Leach a call.

IUPUI's head coach was fired, so I'd think that probably explains the transferring. He played OK at that level - a bump up in points per 40 and shooting percentage, but still a pretty poor rebounder for a 6'8"ish big.

nice try... but... try again... https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2024/03/24/tim-mcgraw-reps-caitlin-clark-jersey-on-stage-in-iowa/ I think Sandor knows it was a cheeky photoshop edit by Rhody Barstool.

It would be fun to look back at that Fordham thread. Here you go! https://keaneyblue.com/viewtopic.php?p=101957#p101957 I enjoy the receipts. That thread was me specifically putting it on the players and their FT shooting, not the coaching. You get a really strong sense of deja vu, reading post aft...

Can't compete with most of those teams financially. Well, the hope is we can compete with more teams financially this offseason. We also have to factor in what he said he’s looking for. He wants to be a starting point guard. I haven’t kept up to date if any of these guys transferred… Georgia Tech -...

Pretty sure everyone posting on this board, including blue man completely lost their stuff and gave up on Hurley after the home loss to Fordham. Everyone who had defended him quit.

I’ve always been skeptical of lower conference players. Yes, there are exceptions, but they should be excelling in those low conferences. If they aren’t, they don’t do well in the A10. Stats matter. What do you think of David Green? His stats and minutes at La. Tech and Hofstra weren't very impress...

Mulkey is pretty well known at this point for being an awful human being that wins games. Her going scorched earth preemptively just means way more people are going to read that Washington Post story when it comes out, and they're going to be the heels of this tournament too.

Arizona State kind of sticks out oddly on that list, a la Foumena and LSU.

On the women's side of the bracket, #10 Richmond is up two on #7 Duke, midway through the third quarter. That would also be a nice win for the A-10. (ETA: And shit, I jinxed it, with Duke hitting a god damn 3 as I hit 'post.')

Meh Green took a massive step into the player he was last year I would argue that we probably haven't seen the best of him yet. He wasn't eligible, got eligible, was hurt, out of game shape, had an illness and was obviously banged up at the end of the year. He isn't as quick as you'd like and he do...
