I don't know why I can never remember this, but how does it work when you transfer out of a Service Academy?
It works like normal if you’re transferring out of a service academy, but I think you have to do it before your junior year.
Can’t transfer into one though, they don’t take transfer credits. Service academies also are not allowed to do any kind of NIL.

Hes a potential pickup, no?
Avila has a no contact tag in the portal, which means he already knows where he’s going. Likely following his coach to St. Louis.

This guy gets it.
I expect we will make the tournament just about every year and win a game more often than not. And possibly sprinkle in a Sweet 16 or Elite 8 run when the chips fall right. That will be better than the 10 years before RT.
But we will never win it all under him, and it is very unlikely we will make a Final Four.
This would make him one of the best coaches in program history.
I get that we want to aspire to greater things, but the framing of this is still humorous.

I could see Edey sticking in the NBA as a situational bench guy. He’s Canadian Boban.
He’s also probably going to go higher in this draft than his skillset dictates, because this draft class stinks.

Agreed although a healthy Houston could have given them a better challenge than Purdue. Would have should have , blah blah.100% agree that a healthy Houston would’ve been the next best team.

UConn was just clearly better than everyone all season and all tourney. There weren't any great teams this year other than them.

I’m pretty certain, 🤪, the NBA guys know way more than I but, from what I see the NBA speed and pace will really make it tough for him defensively. Just think of him trying to guard a guy like Kevin Durant? Or Jokic?
He might actually sneak into the first round, but only because this is an absolutely terrible draft. He wouldn't sniff the first round in an average draft.

So you are telling me that Calipari was available and we are stuck holding onto Rodney fucking Terry. The world is a cruel place.
Calipari is the biggest underachiever in college basketball right now. You don’t have to turn everything into a complaint about Rodney Terry.

If true, then Christmas came early for Kentucky. That ridiculous buyout is the only reason Calipari hasn’t already been fired .
Scratch the if, I’m late, it’s official.

Nope.
People debating if Arkansas is a destination job, the coaches are giving a pretty clear answer.
-
Not entirely sure why we took that commitment in the first place. Especially considering how slow we’ve been to push with others.

I asked this in the coaching search thread but is Arkansas even a destination school or another stepping stone job for Beard?
It would already be his 5th school in a relatively short amount of time. Eventually he has to stick somewhere if his ultimate goal is to win big.
They just lost their coach to USC, they aren’t a destination school.
-
Are we going to start pushing for some commitments after these upcoming April visits? This board could use some life.

I'm trying to understand what Virginia's strategy was here. If you keep players in the paint and apply any type of pressure NC State probably doesn't even get a decent shot off. Also, why wouldn't you foul here after a couple dribbles?
29 minutes ago, shadow_operative said:or if tony bennett decides to foul up three with time running out. so crazy how these things play out in college hoops. the nba playoffs will always be my far the best on-court basketball product around, but there is nothing like the pageantry, the do-or-die stakes, and the underdog stories of college hoops. for me only the world cup rivals march madness for drama, intrigue, and importance. there’s just nothing like it.
Yeah, it took a comedy of errors for Virginia to blow that game.
A Virginia team that looked like the worst at-large team to make the field in the play-in game should’ve ended NC State’s season right there. And now NC State is in the Final 4. That’s fun. And it’s why hope springs eternal for so many teams every year, you just never know.

Thank you NC State for giving America someone to root for. Duke-Purdue would've been vomit-inducing.

UConn is so overwhelmingly better than everyone else.

this conversation started before the games were played and before shead was injured. shaka faced three double digit seeds, duke faced the no.2 overall team in the field and the #2 most popular pick to win the title. of all the disingenuous arguments arriving here lately this one might take the cake.
Obviously the Duke point is in hindsight. You overuse the word disingenuous.

I assume the kid from Lawrence, Kansas is going to Kansas if they want him.

uh, yes, seriously. jamal shead was not injured heading into that game. there is no way in hell that you’re convincing me or anyone else that vermont > jmu > HOUSTON is an easier road than wku > colorado > nc state. on path faces all double digit seeds, the other faces the no.2 overall seed in the entire tourney. this is not even an argument.
It’s the weakest if you include the Shead injury, which Pancho is.
Of course it’s not the weakest if you don’t include the injury.

Thought this was interesting, could explain some of the uncharacteristically bad offense we’ve seen.

Rodney Terry has been fired
in Basketball
Posted · Edited by Lonestar88
Even if this thing crashes and burns the way some of y’all are predicting, Terry still won’t be as bad as Shaka, he’s already cleared that low bar.
