There is going to be some SEC football money being thrown around at BB coaches this spring. It still makes me chuckle to think that UGA is going to buy out Crean - whose buyout goes from $7.2MM to $3.2MM this offseason and pay FL Mike White's $1.25MM buyout to switch jobs. Also, they...

I'm not saying they have to be one year rent a players. Hopefully most of them will have at least 2 years available. But right now it is more important to get guys that can play next season than guys that take a year to get going. Based on what other schools are doing you should assume it will...

I agree, this rests on Pastner. If you assume the 4 SR are not returning (which I think is highly likely) we only have 9 players on scholarship. You should assume at least 1-2 players will transfer out (that is actually a below avg rate for Div 1 basketball but Pastner's teams have been pretty...

There was also a report that Howland was out at Miss St but then the school released a statement that he is still the coach and looking forward to coaching the team in the NIT.

I agree with this. He'll be better than Crean (of course it would be hard for anyone not to be), possibly better than Fox, but not a monster hire. Their AD likely made alot of the UGA bb fans unhappy though that he didn't hire Hayes. He was getting alot of push from fans and former players.

Solid hire for UGA. I like White. I think Parrish has this one nailed, this is just like Smart last year. First question is will Kowacie Reeves transfer from FL to UGA and will any of FL recruits from their top 20 recruiting class go to Athens. UGA is a complete rebuild in terms of personnel.

Exactly about K. He never liked GT after Cremins left. Of course GT did not fire Cremins he chose to retire because he felt he wasn't able to get GT to where he thought it belonged anymore.

Fans need to remember that the football change was made largely because some of the big donors wanted to get rid of the 3O and weren't willing to upgrade support for the program unless that change was made. Then whoever was hired had to be someone that the donors who were going to pony up more...

LSU is hoping that its self penalties that it imposed in 2020 - one year bowl ban, reduced 8 scholarships over 2 years, fewer recruiting visits will be taken and nothing further added to the football program. We'll see.

To give a sense of how poorly the ACC is perceived this year Wake went 13-7 in conference play and ND went 15-5 and both are in danger of being left out of the Tourney. https://sports.yahoo.com/the-biggest-decisions-facing-the-ncaa-tournament-selection-committee-042738497.html

Keep in mind that Doherty was the follow up to Guthridge. Also, I don't think either asst was hired to coverup any sins of the program. The one part I can understand with hiring internally is that many coaches do not want to be the coach that follows the legend, that tends to be an...

I think you have this basically right. My main thought is that the ACC is headed for an extended down period due to relatively poor coaching hires and late career downsides. BC - Grant is an upgrade over their 2 previous coaches but a tough place to win. Clemson - Brownell is a solid coach...

VT was the better team most of that game. More active, much better shooters, quicker to the ball. This Duke team will have a hard time getting close to the Final Four. It lacks depth and versatility. It has 3 of its regulars who are basically fives that struggle to play on the perimeter which...

Good article on the allegations. gives a little review of the charges. https://www.andthevalleyshook.com/2022/3/12/22974490/will-wade-out-at-lsu Wade was directly cited for 5 Level 1 violations, unethical conduct, and obstruction of an investigation LSU was cited for a total of 8 level 1...

To me it is now obvious they were going to let this play out until they received the letter to see how bad they were going to get hit (and more importantly would it be covered in his contract where they could fire him without paying him).

I bet Wade ends up with a show cause. He's going to be out of college coaching for a while. Pretty clear that LSU wanted to wait for the notice so they could fire him with cause. The only issue LSU will have is that any coach coming in does not know what the NCAA will ultimately due to the...

Look, this year was an awful year. As others have said it feels alot like 1997. It was a team that simply didn't fit well together and was paying for the 2019 recruiting fail and the potential that the 2020 class is a bust. They played hard, but seldom played well. The offense didn't really...

Are the comments we are getting this spring any different than the comments we heard last Spring? I don't know, just asking. My biggest concern is still the OL and DL. If we are not better in those two position groups nothing else is going to matter.

This comment is what scares me about Tchio at GT and the expectations for him.. Clemson's OL was not good last year and Tchio went from an early season contributor as a backup to a complete non contributor who played 1 snap over Clemson's last 8 games. In the 2 games that he got significant...

100% agree with this. AL brought in 3 transfers and lost 17 and is seen as one of the big winners of the portal - that should tell you all you need to know. The blue bloods will continue to recruit like blue bloods. Then with the portal and NIL, the ones that don't pan out will move down and...
