@BooneGoon1978 @AppFanatic04 All but confirmed.

@AppFanatic04 is kerns gone? hope not

BRING MATT HOME

@adarrellgadsden Totally understand that perspective. However, Kerns with NIL money would thrive especially at a mid-major with no football program. He’s had to start from scratch the last two seasons with <100k NIL and made us conference contenders each year.

The best mid major is interviewing a guy that has just one 20 win season in his 9 year career is wild.

@ChucktownHoops Coming from an App fan, Kerns with actual NIL backing would be scary. He’d thrive at a mid-major that is basketball focused / no football program.

Don’t love it! Certainly could be worse though.

@BlackAndGoldPod Welcome home Matt!

The way LSU handled the end of McMahon’s tenure was disgraceful. Certainly not the success in league play they hoped but to openly discard him like trash in favor of a currently employed coach is scum behavior. Best of luck to Matt wherever he goes next!

@WestonScambler Rough. Might have a completely new team if Kerns leaves.

App State F Michael Marcus Jr. will be entering the Transfer Portal.

@AppFanatic04 I would assume Earl Grant could be in the mix as well. Heard Bob Richey but I don’t see the appeal in leaving Furman for Charleston.

Dustin Kerns is interviewing for the College of Charleston job. He was a finalist a couple years back and should be another favorite this cycle.

@AppFanatic04 @AppStateConeBoy @NewtonDefender Would take either in a heartbeat.

@AppStateConeBoy @NewtonDefender Hubert Davis or McMahon to App State preferably. Kerns will leave for Charleston if he gets his way

Is a Hubert Davis to NC State thought experiment allowed to happen on this app?

@HighPointHoops While I do agree, Huss did have the emotional draw of being a Creighton alum. Flynn seems to carry that underdog chip on his shoulder and embraces the mid-major persona. Could help your case. However, it’s hard to turn down a 2-3x payday.

@AppStateGrad20 I lied to myself last year about Huss. I'm not going to lie to myself this year. The reality is power teams can offer more salary than midmajors can't.

Clayman to SEC? Vandy? Duke Miles reunion?

@TheAcunacorn More likely for Vandy to hire a Bob Richey (Furman), Flynn Clayman (High Point), or Takayo Siddle (UNCW), and then Kerns gets poached by them. I could see Hubert Davis being interested at one of those schools too or going back into media.

Doomsday scenario UNC fires Hubert UNC hires Byington Vanderbilt hires Kerns

@WestonScambler Did not see this one coming. Thought he’d be a key piece next year.

App State F Tre McKinnon will be entering the Transfer Portal.

@connorwhaley @AppStateConeBoy Another difference between UVA and App is free throws. You cannot be poor at FTs when you are a slow paced team. UVA was constantly in the Top 50 in FT%. We are constantly near dead last.

@connorwhaley @AppStateConeBoy Spot on. I will say most of the Sun Belt puts their funds towards football first and then baseball. If we put more funds towards basketball, we could easily be seeing more success in the SBC. Would likely be one and done in the big dance due to not being fast paced.

IN FEBRUARY, APP STATE MEN’S BASKETBALL: 2024-25 lost 5 of 10 including upset as #6 seed to #10 ODU 2025-26 lost 4 of 8 including upset as #4 seed to #8 USM What’s causing our team to fizzle out in the final weeks of the season? Do opponents just have us figured out by then?

@AppStateConeBoy One natty and two ACC tournament championships at Virginia. Great coach, but his slow tempo defensive oriented teams underperformed by a lot in the postseason. Virginia could afford to lose the ACC tournament. We can’t. Unless we get more NIL funds, we need to be more uptempo.

@AppStateGrad20 ain’t that dude win a natty lol

@Hvward This is not factoring in the already weakened infrastructure from Helene.

I am becoming increasingly concerned about the possibility of high winds on Monday and into Tuesday around WNC with ice accumulation in place. The most recent European model shows between .75"-1" of ice accumulation and then follows that with winds gusting over 30mph. Now some of this ice will likely fall as sleet, which will limit ice accretion, but some freezing rain still seems likely (.25"-.5 imo). So looking at the Ice Accumulation Index we go from a level 2 event to a level 4 event just with the winds that are now being projected on the backside. Per the chart, Level 4 equates to "Prolong and widespread utility interruptions with extensive damage to main distribution feeder lines & some high voltage transmission lines/structures. Outage lasting 5-10 days" Are the winds certain? They are appearing more and more likely as a more amplified storm would bring stronger winds on the backside. Is the cold certain? Temperatures at least in the upper single digits are expected after the front passes early Tuesday AM, but some models are showing widespread negative temps. Main Takeaway: If precipitation falls as mainly sleet, we will end up with a lot of it, but less power outages. If we get a good bit more freezing rain mixing in, power outages are going to skyrocket. Especially with the winds that could follow. Have a plan in place for an extended power outage. There is a chance models amp the storm even higher and we switch to rain, but all show a good thump of ice before. Power problems look very likely.

@Notorious_Neer Noel Cook. Loaded LB rooms for years made him go extremely under appreciated. Hell of a player.

Post a vague Mountaineer that you enjoyed watching but never got the spotlight. I’ll start. Linebacker T.D. Roof

@KF7821072411394 @GS_NickB Don’t worry Dropping Logs forced him out the door already. Didn’t see his potential and was a scout team DB practically all season. He already entered the transfer portal as a QB.

@GS_NickB This kid develops and he’s a nightmare. Sure hope our new DC figures out a way to contain him next year cause 3 INTs isn’t something you can bank on lol

For the life of me I can’t figure out what Loggains is doing with his QBs. Wilson was gashing us with his legs. Then he put in Gillon back in and immediately he throws another pick.

@notCliffGodwin Finally find Blackbeard’s treasure to cover the NIL?

BREAKING: North Texas QB Drew Mestemaker tells ESPN he’s verbally committed to East Carolina. He’ll have three seasons of eligibility remaining. In 2025 he led the nation in both passing yards with 4,379 and passing touchdowns with 34. Huge get for the Pirates.
