FWIW the other 2 names being bantered about by the local media are Earl Grant and Mike Rhoades. The media speculation is that Boeline was a required phone call but the real focus was on the 3 or 4 mid major guys.

Specific to Wojo, I still don't know why he would. If he is looking to succeed K then stay and keep MQ a top 20ish program and you have established your bonafides. If you want money MQ will likely pay at least as much. As for risk, you have it going at MQ and it would be a risk to get a...

My personal read is that Wojo would have more risk coming to Wake and trying to resurrect a dormant program than staying with a seeming perennial top 20 program at Marquette. And I could be wrong - but I would be really surprised if the Wake salary was exponentially bigger than Marquette.

I am floored and impressed that WF made this move. Wes Miller would be a good hire - new enthusiasm and wouldn't break the bank to start.

If we were still really committed to the zone defense maybe he had a shot at playing. But given that we have morphed into a 70% (+/-) man defensive team, it was hard to see who he could guard. Without Banks maybe next year we go back to the zone in a big way but that is speculative - and I...

The NCAA pushed the NBA to make it easier for top players to go to the league. This is what they asked for. Still not sure how a G League team image/likeness is worth $500K but if they can make it work all power to them.

One humorous thing about Trinity is Carter Whitt went there all through middle school and transferred out after his freshman year - I think the year before Todd came in. Carter just wanted a public school so he went to Leesville. If he had stayed they would been there together and likely been...

Academically they are really good - not sure they ever even get considered in the national mag rankings because they are so small and specialized. But regardless they are about as far from Word of God as you can get.

There are multiple rumors about how his Mom has started using him to pay back a bunch of debts she has racked up. He went from Trinity Academy where I know he wasn't getting anything but one of the best HS educations in the country to Word of God which is about as far away as you can get $$$...

IMHO you will see fans attending games will skew younger and older fans will tend to stay away. NBA tends to be younger while college football tends to be older.

Did Stanley sign with an agent?

Given current interest rates they ought to be restructuring debt regardless. Specific to Football, they needed to try to infuse some youth in the fan base years ago. Collins is trying but too late for this crisis.

Academic progress requirements should be easy to suspend for a year - and the right thing to do honestly. There will be a ton of abuse of that loophole but given the upheaval not unrealistic.

There are a series of blood tests coming out that are generally more accurate and faster than the nasal swabs. Should see those starting this week and really ramping up next week or so. The malaria drugs have been effective in small trials but no large definitive trial has published. The key...

On the positive side the Olympics have been rescheduled for July 23rd. One stake in the ground. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/30/sports/olympics/tokyo-olympics-date-coronavirus.html Additionally shortly after starting a large trial France allowed the use of the Hydroxychloroquine drug combo...

Testing is about to ramp up exponentially. The FDA has relaxed approval standards for new tests for the virus to basically notification and there are 25+ new tests coming on the market in volume over the next 2 weeks. These include new faster RNA tests like the Abbott test and a host of rapid...

just a random comment but you can make a hell of a good career being the 4th/5th option in the NBA if you play good D and can last for a decade more or less. I see Josh on that path with the ability to come out with $75M +/- at the end. Have fun but squirrel away most of it and you are set.

That would be a great spot for him - lots of PT as a big guy and a really good school to go to

I will be surprised if they approve an extra year for winter sports either.

Yep - that's what I meant by buyouts. The financial situation to absorb a buyout which you put in a lot more and better detail.
