  1. Who is more likely to be drafted: Kelly or Ndongo?

    Ndongo, but to me it is unlikely either would get drafted, but what do I know.
  2. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    I think these comments by Jerry Stackhouse after he was fired at Vandy (Which was justified) show how much things have changed in a very short period of time - 2-3 years. "When we first started here, we thought that just getting on par with the other schools, having the facilities and things...
  3. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    According to the NFL's College Advisory Committee - 1.6% of college football players will ever play professionally in the NFL. That doesn't mean those will all of long successful careers. Many of them may only play a year, or never play for more tha minimum contracts.
  4. Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    This article just depresses me and further pushes me away from following college sports. As every year goes by I am becoming less interested. I watched less college sports this year than I have ever done before. I contribute less than I used to. I probably watched more women's college basketball...
  5. Conference Realignment

    Deep dive article on the pontential "Super LEague". PRos and Cons. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-super-league-proposal-has-merit-but-significant-obstacles-remain-if-restructuring-sport/ The 2 biggest obstacles to it are pretty simple. B1G and SEC would have...
  6. Coaching Carousel 9 - People die climbing mountains

    While I agree that it would have been much better for both Hewitt and GT if he had taken the ST. John's job. I had heard that a big reason he did not is because his wife and daughters did not want to leave Atlanta (his girls were school age at that time). So from a family standpoint I can...

    Will be interesting to see what happens with KY now that Hurley has given an official no. I will say I did like his comment "Once you make a certain amount of money, it doesn’t make that much of a difference in your life" Said one source on Hurley to Kentucky: “They could offer $20 million a...
  8. Bracketology 2024

    The women's games were very entertaining and not just Iowa. When you had Angel Reese at LSU, Paige Bueckers at UConn, JuJu Watkins at USC, Kamilla Cordoso at South Carolina. The level of talent in this year's Tourney was the best they have ever had. Interesting that most of them (except Watkins)...
  9. Transfers out

    Before the portal opened one basketball reporter said that he expected alot of players to enter the portal and try to use it as leverage to get a better 'deal' from the school they just left.
  10. Bracketology 2024

    FWIW, for the first time the Women's CG outdrew the men's CG. Women avg 18.7M viewers (with a high of 24M). Men's game avg 14.8M. The women's game was the most watched basketball game (men's, womens, college, pro) since 2019. Will be interesting to see how much of that audience the women's game...
  11. Coaching Carousel 9 - People die climbing mountains

    Not surprised by Drew's decision. That is the second job in KY he has turned down in a month. KY should be able to get a very good coach but I don't think it is the best job in the country. The pressure cooker there is sort of insane.
  12. Coaching Carousel 9 - People die climbing mountains

    If i'm Hurley there's not a chance in the world that I take the KY job. UConn is a better job than KY - the Fanta twitter points that out. 6 NC's by 3 different coaches in 25 years. Double the next closest program. I don't think Hurley will seriously consider it. He has a better job and is in...

    USC has their coach for the next 4 years. He tends not to stay in any one place for very long. I believe his 5 yr stint at ARK was his longest.
  14. My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    This all make sense to me. As you stated, we have to wait until everything sort of shakes out. Does someone offer a big bag to someone we can't match. Sacko and Suare are from the same country - same town. Almost feel like both would stay or both would go. I'm expecting we ultimately bring in...
  15. Coaching Carousel 9 - People die climbing mountains

    As someone that has an autistic son I can understand that sentiment completely. The amount of time and money that it takes can feel crushing at times.
