I know it is easy to dump on the NCAA and they should have come out with stronger guidelines, but some schools didn't want them to and the NCAA is not going to try to enforce any of it because they are afraid they will get taken to court and lose. Basically the genie is out of the bottle and...

Unlike some I never saw being in Atlanta as some huge advantage for NIL - to me that was always a mirage. It isn't companies providing most of this money. It is rich alum and fans. Large companies are not going to be big spenders in NIL because it does not make sense for them to. They usually...

This tweet is basketball specific, but it gives some idea of why I think there is a good chance Miami could rise to the top of the Coastal within 2-3 years. A much more competent coaching staff combined with nutty fans willing to spend alot of money provides alot of potential for growth. If...

Good article on how coaches are looking forward to May 1st as at least they have a good sense then of who is on the team for next season. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-coaches-eager-to-catch-breath-as-transfer-portals-may-1-deadline-pauses-roster-churn/

As mentioned the importance of May 1st is it is simply the day where players have to enter the portal by to be able to play in the fall. So who you have on your roster on May 1st you know should be there. Players who are still in the portal can continue to be recruited by schools and pick...

I think the only thing you can say about him is that he is a young guy with some potential. Nothing more, nothing less. He did not play as a true freshmen (as most don't), and he didn't figure to see significant snaps this year at Kansas, which suggests he probably is unlikely to see significant...

This is my biggest concern going into the season. I'm not even convinced we have 5 legitimate ACC level starters, much less acceptable backups. If the OL isn't significantly better than last year's then it won't matter what talent we have at the QB, RB, WR, TE spots on offense. They won't have...

I would expect the big time basketball factories - Duke, UNC, KY, L'ville, AZ as well as a handful of others that just have deep pockets due to football will likely have alumni spending alot of money while others get what they get. I get Tshiebwe's decision. He isn't listed as being on many...

If you want to understand where this is headed just look at college basketball as it has a few years head start in using the portal. On a yearly basis over 40% of all college basketball players portal. When you add in those that use up their eligibility and those that leave early for...

In the next 5 to 10 years I think many coaches in college basketball will start to retire by the time they are 60. Most of them make enough money that they can afford to. There is alot of talk that it is just too much of a grind now with all the changes. It's a year round job with no real breaks...

I think you put the nail on the head here. GT got raked over the coals for taking a recruit to a Strip club, the Institute is simply not going to be willing to play any under the table games. As Wasp has so eloquently written how recruiting has developed over the last decade has put GT in a...

IMO the odds of LaBarrie coaching here again are small. He had a show cause and he lied when he talked to people at GT. He did try to make up for that but it was already too late. Keep in mind almost all the sanctions GT received from the NCAA for violations had to do with LaBarrie, not with Bell.

I don't think bigs came here for the most part due to Rev being here, but I think they benefitted from him being here tremendously. I think that is what we will miss the most. I expect our big man development to not be as strong. former asst Anthony Hardy was the one who brought the Princeton...

Reveno is the last of the original assistants. IMO this is a really important hire that Pastner needs to make.

In fairness to Hayes he is walking into a much better job than Young. Ga St is a much superior position to GASou

Young was never Coach in Waiting at FSU and likely never would be. There have been rumors for years that when Hamilton retires that FSU will make a run at former FSU asst Andy Enfield.

Yep, single worst decision ever made by a GT AD in terms of the basketball program. Literally cost the program a decade and alot of money that it has never recovered from. It also hurt GT AA overall as you combine that buyout with all the debt from the building spree and GT AA has basically...

They had already hired Sean Miller. They tried to keep him as associate HC.

The issue for Boeheim is that he has a really good class coming in, but it is not a class that is likely to lift the program by itself above .500. It will need time to develop. If he wants to win this year he is going to have to get some help out of the portal.

That is a big hit for Syracuse, I know they were really hoping to convince him to stay. That means they are losing 2/3 of their scoring and over 70% of their made threes. They return Edwards who should be one of the best bigs in the conference and Girard - who tends to be either really good or...
