Watch this mornings show from the top - its one of the first things Bobby said. Tre's agent asked for a million. And then Tre requested his name be entered into the portal without ever talking to the coaches (also according to Bobby).
Jeff Howe saying this is as mutual a firing as can be between Sark and Kwiatkowski. Sark essentially 'letting' Pete K leave to go back to the west coast.
CJ Vogel saying that Pete K has been wanting to get back to the PNW where he has spent most of his life and coaching career. Wonder if it is just a situation where the job had run its course and a very desirable replacement was now available.
OU's not worried - Arbuckle had PK figured out. Mateer just couldn't execute, I guess?!? It will definitely be different next year. Texas is screwed once OU gets their pick of transfer portal QBs.
Livingstone spoke about this - he screwed up his route on that play. Parkler said he was supposed to sell the outside hard and then cut back in but he was so open he got excited and ran right to his spot. He was early (but open) but Arch wasn't looking at him just yet. When he did finally look over there it was too late.
Next season I'd expect Arch to recognize the defense screwed up and ad-lib the early throw. I just think things are still moving fast and he is trying to play each play like its coached.
Cardoso should be the best player on the team - she was the #3 pick for a reason - but is entirely too boom or bust game to game to be considered. She has incredible games and (aside from a 6 game stretch earlier in the year) then disappears. She can't be counted on to give consistent effort and production.
You don't need to be a 3 time MVP to call out a bullshit FO. What are they going to do, let her walk? That's exactly what she's going to want to do in 2 years after Chicago gives up top 3 picks in the 2026 & 2027 (that have already been traded away in swaps) and is unable to sign any FAs. The Chicago GM traded the #3 pick and possibly the #1 pick in 2026 for Ariel Atkins and then signed 36 year old Sloot to be the PG on a rebuilding team. They have no clue what they are doing - and the rest of the WNBA, including the players, know it.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make - that Angel Reese isn't as good as the 3-time MVP? No shit. The fact that A'ja Wilson would struggle to get this team to .500 is exactly the point. What Angel is is far and away the best player on the Sky roster. A roster completely mismanaged by a joke of a GM and the worst FO and ownership group in the WNBA (and its not even close). I expect Reese to leave - just like Fowles and Elena Delle Donne before her.

Well, see, that gets to the crux of it. For fans like you there is nothing they could say, for or against, that wouldn't lead to criticism - so they don't really give a fuck what you want or think. They've (players) have actually been pretty clear that you're not the fan they're courting. So, instead, they'll do what every other union has done and they will ask for the moon and settle for what they can get.
PK is, by all accounts, as low-ego a guy as you'll find. He took a demotion at Washington so that Jimmy Lake could be the DC to ensure that Lake stayed on staff. He's had plenty of opportunities to interview or take a HC job but appears to be completely uninterested. I expect he's going to allow Akina pretty wide latitude in technique and scheme that the back end of the defense plays.
