It's new, but ...353 schools times 15 schollys = 5295 players vs 353 head coaches. 1823 players entered the portal but 80% of them actually transferred, so 27%. There were 61 new coaches last year - so 17%. It's not a crazy difference. Off the top of my head: Jim Harrick. Tom Penders. Danny Sprinkl...

You never hear posters lamenting their lost love of college basketball with all of the coach movement. So weird There are dozens of coaching changes each year vs thousands of kids abandoning schools. And tell the the last time you saw the same coach be a HC at three schools in 4 years? It's new, bu...

Absolutely Awesome game. What a battle. Everytime A&M seemed beaten they proved otherwise.
1-seed Houston will move on to play 4-seed Duke who beat 13-seed James Madison by 38

Houston is certainly battle tested after tonight. Crazy. Madness.

One heck of a finish to the Houston/TX A&M game. A&M cut a 13 pt deficit to 3 in a few minutes. Wow What a finish. A&M got 2 good looks to tie it in the final 10 seconds but missed. 1.2 seconds left, A&M inbounds and hits the 3P to incredibly send the game to OT!! Announcers say Sam...

Tony Skinn and George Mason not wasting any time in the portal. This would be an excellent pick-up for them. https://x.com/GMURecruiting/status/1771916295916662817?s=20 Ya, Anderson is a solid player. I would be surprised if he shot the three that well again. He shot 50% from 3 in the conference. H...

Yeah no chance Dan is going to Kentucky. It’s UConn for life unless the Knicks come calling. That’s my prediction at least. My guess would be he has zero interest in coaching the pro game. At least in the NBA you have real GM's and contracts, plus a draft. Probably better than dealing with the port...

I don't consider Green to be a big. He averaged 4 rebounds a game. Offensively, he was more effective on the perimeter than he was down low. Fuchs led the team with a 6.4 rebound average. Good. Not great. We need a banger/defensive presence on the roster. Yes BB same here. I know even though he is ...

13 seeded Samford making a run. Has Cut the Kansas lead to 7 with a little over 7 minutes left. Go Samford. ETA: now down to 4 with 6 min left. Correction, make that 3 points.

Not rooting for either team. But when Northwestern defensively rebounded the ball with a couple minutes left and then had a clear fast break advantage on FAU past half court and the Refs blew the whistle because FSU's Golden went to the floor that was poor officiating. The Ref should now have halted...

I remember that name, Ramster, now that you mention it.

Probably why I associated the Hanson brothers with him. Funny how the mind works and associates things as time passes.

This is a great place to reminisce.

In addition to Duke, those of us of a certain age remember when we and the Storrs Leg-humpers were arch enemies. Some good old Yankee Conference battles with UConn back then, Red. Good times. A lot of good New England college hoops during that period: Rhody, UConn, PC, Holy Cross, BC, UMass, the Iv...

Ben Hammond and Brayon Freeman have a good chance of occupying two of those spots in some order The first one has yet to suit up for Rhody and may never do so if the rumors are true. The second one did not really contribute much in his short time here and was dismissed for being disruptive. Has sin...

He does it all the time. It’s gotten old. Not just the nicest guy but Reef is a very long term poster on KB and Reef is one of the most knowledgeable people I know of not just college basketball but college football, NFL, MLB……you name the sport. So if I stand up for him and take a beating so be it.

From what I saw last year, I would not want any players or coaches from our team if I was looking for help. I am sure they work hard but it is a win - loss business. Kenny is known to be one of the top recruiters and top assistants in the country. He'll do much better at a school who has the money ...

If we loose both Hammond and Farrell, Rhody Rehab is preparing and gearing up for all service delivery sites. I’ve watched zero seconds of his games, but from everything I’ve read, I don’t believe losing Farrell is anything to get up in arms about. That’s one reason why we value SteveyStuds. He wat...

Just seems odd to have Portal open before the NCAA Tournament finishes, never mind before it even begins for 68 teams in NCAA plus NIT Strange to announce when your team is in the Dance. But them are the rules https://twitter.com/VerbalCommits/status/1769901318955774127?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March
