@GoodmanHoops Kentucky has 1 HS commit, zero transfers and like 4 players leaving the program to transfer somewhere else. But you know, Kentucky is the brand

Some big programs that have yet to add any transfers.
Duke
Kentucky
Kansas

Michigan State
Texas Tech
St. John’s

Auburn
LSU
Vanderbilt

@knoxrob1 Brilliant move, guys. Take out 150m of debt to retrofit a shitty stadium. Arrogantly ignore GIANT ⚠️ signs that your conference was imploding. Beg a conference on the East Coast to take you at a 70% pay cut. Announce massive athletics donation. Fire half your staff 2 weeks later.

Cal Athletics informed staff on Friday that all members of the department’s marketing, athletic communications &creative services units — possibly as many as 25 people — will be laid off, effective early June, as part of a strategy for a “complete redefinition of how we operate.”

@LumpyPB @GoodmanHoops @TheFieldOf68 He was locked into a $1m NIL deal and bailed one week later when BYU offered him 3 times as much. When have you ever seen that happen in the NBA? (The answer is never. It's NEVER happened and the player would lose trust and credibility with every other GM if he tried that).
English
@GoodmanHoops @TheFieldOf68 Blame the universities for this nonsense. I don’t blame the kid or his parents.
The universities don’t want to make the athletes employees because they would have to pay workers comp which is super expensive because of long term injuries etc.
Universities want cake and eat to

BREAKING: BYU point guard Robert Wright III will enter the transfer portal, source told @TheFieldOf68.
Wright averaged 18.1 points and 4.6 assists per game and shot 41% from 3 this past season. Started his college career at Baylor.

@UVAWomensHoops Unless Dawn Staley has secretly agreed to be your next HC, this move makes absolutely no sense.

@TheWildUte @TexasIsBack2 Bro, you were in the Pac-12 for less than a decade and you thought you were fucking Penn St. Your shit school was in the WAC and MWC for a majority of modern history. You're now a lower tier brand in a conference struggling to create an identity and survive. You have no leverage.
English
@TexasIsBack2 People thinks I’m evil for this view. It’s wild.
English
Big 12 survival hinges on one truth:
Unequal revenue sharing.
Not every program drives value—and pretending otherwise drags the league down. Big 12 must reward the brands that move the needle to compete.

@ESPN_Schick @HPUMBB @PaulBiancardi They're trying to appeal to 4-star high school kids to spend a year or 2 at High Point and get a ton of playing time before transferring to a bigger school. We'll see if it works
English
To Coach Cal’s point, High Point is a mid-major in the metrics. Not in the money.
I’ve called numerous games at High Point. It is a gated campus with a country club vibe. Its on-campus facility is a mini-NBA arena, unmatched at their level, and better than many in the power conferences.
The investment in the program allows them to mitigate churn by retaining some talent and replenishing the rest.
This is High Point:

@prototype_test @dave_nilra @onehandpolitics Almost like Germany and Japan orchestrated and planned it? YES. That's exactly what happened, dumbass.
Do you even know what else Japan was doing during that time and their motivation for attacking Pearl Harbor?
You are the reason why social media was a bad idea. READ A BOOK.

@dave_nilra @onehandpolitics Almost like it was orchestrated, and planned.

@avonperson25 @jwalker_sports Cincinnati is a better job but Utah State is one of the best non-P5 jobs.
They'll be in better shape once they're in the same conference as Gonzaga (though not sure why they added San Jose State over New Mexico).
Look at how much Gonzaga helped St. Mary's and Santa Clara.
English
@jwalker_sports If any Utah State fan wants to keep saying it’s a better job than Cincinnati this right here is all you need to see.
If you’re not on the right side of the fence in terms of league affiliation it’s an uphill battle year after year the way the metrics have been slanted
English
Video from the Utah State press conference after the announcement that they'll be a 9 seed taking on 8 seed Villanova.
Quotable from Jerrod Calhoun, said his team getting a 9 seed was "absolutely atrocious"
English
@jwalker_sports How the hell did the MWC get only 1 bid while the WCC got 3? New Mexico beats Santa Clara but somehow Santa Clara gets in over them? It's like they're giving these schools a ton of credit for losing to Gonzaga.

@NatePitt27 @theblockspot An NIT championship gives players valuable postseason experience while being subjected to high-pressure situations. It usually pays dividends the next season.
The problem is the ACC, Big 12, and Big Ten hurt the NIT by creating the Crown, but both events still provide value.
English
@theblockspot March Madness 1st round exit and it’s not even close. NIT champs is essentially winning a “championship” outside of the top 68 teams in the country lol. So a trophy and congratulations on being the 69th best team in the country 🤨 .. no thanks.
English
@degenbrody @theblockspot Power 5. The Big East is a power conference.
English
@theblockspot Depends, for a power 4 I don’t think it matters as much and would probably say March madness
For a lower tier school I think an nit championship can help more with recruiting so I’d go with that
English
@Predamame sportsmanship actually feels optional lately and it is so awkward to watch. you can be mad about the results but walking off the podium just makes you look petty
English
Same thing happened in the men’s D3 3k. Clevenger wins, and they all walk off the podium.
English
@nineteenJS @Predamame Trans men competing in men's sports isn't really even a thing, primarily because they would get smoked. Almost all trans athletes are trans women competing with biological women.

@VikeClones @DavidDavidweave How can you not like Scott Drew? He's legitimately one of the nicest coaches in all of college basketball and he doesn't talk shit. Bill Self cheats on his wife with coeds. I mean, what are we doing here?
English
@DavidDavidweave It’s not a who’s the best coach list it’s who’s the most liked coach list and he complains too much during games. Doesn’t mean he’s a bad person outside of games.

My rankings of most liked to least liked big 12 coaches
1 — T. J. Otzelberger — Iowa State

@JohniHamcheck @ABennett1115 @GoodmanHoops Against which teams? St. John's, Arkansas, Florida, and that's it—and they're 3-8 to close the year.
They're 7-11 in the SEC yet still projected above a Cincinnati team with a better record in a better conference with wins over ISU, Kansas, UCF and BYU—and 7-3 to close the year!
English
@ABennett1115 @GoodmanHoops They have some of the best wins in the country, and I hate Auburn and hope they don’t get in. Acting like they don’t have an argument whatsoever is absurd.

Evan Miya would an innovative hire by @BUDREW. Baylor's player evaluation has been awful. They have the 💰, but the allocation has been horrific.
BLOW UP the scouting team. Create a new org/structure led by ex-Baylor manager Zach Amundson (Phx Suns player eval manager) + Evan.

Kansas State fans are so toxic. I get that Tang got overconfident after Year 1 and thought he'd figured it out. He was wrong.
But KSU fans gave up midway through Year 3 and, guess what, the ⏱️is already ticking for their new HC who has ONE NCAA tournament appearance in 7 years.

I would hate to see how the Baylor basketball family handles any actual tough moments in life. Guy who was paid millions of dollars loses his job (rightly so) will be fine. The handsomely paid assistant who never got to be a head coach at this level only talked about how much he hated the opportunity he got. This staff never won after year one because at the first sign of trouble they always thought they were the victim. Never once realizing that they created these problems for themselves. Thank goodness this gross era of K-State basketball is over.
