Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
You’re assuming they will do something smart with the money…you know what they say about assumptions. I foresee lots of expensive cars and other bad ideas that will leave them with nothing 3-5 years after their so called careers are over. (I guess that’s me making assumptions! Oh well…it’s a message...

Re: Understanding the NIL
I’m not saying I blame them for wanting us to pay into it now that it’s here. I put some of the blame on them as far as the players seeing the coaches salaries skyrocket over the last 20ish years is part of the reason they wanted a piece of the pie. It’s like seeing all these CEO pay packages and th...

And Wave 4: those who see the writing on the wall if their anticipated position for 2024-2024 gets filled in the Portal and their chance for a starting position and/or chance for reduced playing time causes them to look elsewhere.

Re: Rhody MBB Scholarship Tracker
Seems to me it has more to do with the mix and having the right players and not how long they played together. It is possible to have a team succeed with many new pieces, just as it is to succeed with a team that has been together a while. With the amount of player movement I think you better learn ...

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
It’s much more Portal and unlimited player movement than NIL. The kids deserve to be paid but the source of the funds ultimately should be coming primarily from fans. That isn’t killing interest. But the movement will eventually. I am with BAR - NIL is not the issue. If your team is good and has in...

Re: How would you rate Coach Miller for the 2023-2024 Season?
Not only were they not talented enough, but they quit on him/tuned him out too. The only thing that could have been worse was a major off court issue. It was not a 3 game improvement…it was 2. The D2 game doesn’t count. And it was only 1 game in the A10. So basically no improvement.
