Hate to break it to ya, but if he's not in the tourney by year 2, things will continue to be the same as they've been for as long as Clem's been gone. The days of building rosters and developing players for their full 4 years are over.

Reggie Lynch. Last year, Illinois player raped a girl, then was right back in there a playing in the elite 8. The same stuff that's happened at the U for years. We are better than everyone else. Yet, we never end up that way

Great news. Now bring your talent with you. U of M, pony up the bucks, buy the corvettes, get the girls and hand them the c+ grades, let's win for once.

Got him I guess! Let's go, now support the guy. Give him some money to play with do what everyone else does. Big Time college athletes are just that, athletes. Quit trying to take this moral high ground, it doesn't exist in power 5 athletics.

Maybe. Most of it I think is he just went to a place where they support him and not try to cut his legs out from under him right away.

Terrible. And sad.

Because mid majors place to shine has always been the NCAA tourney. They have NEVER had any shot in college football. Zero. It's fine but like all things, money has ruined college sports for the most part. I have paid attention to the NCAA tourney because I always do, but this season, I don't...

So minor leagues then... That is what people are talking about. Develop at a smaller schools, then go chase the bag to play for the evils...

Well... This IMO is a decent part of why they have trouble with sports at the U.

50% is what I picked. Anyone that is in demand at all has to think twice before taking this job as it's been a coach killer. Look what Pitino is doing now. That should say it all. I hope we get him, but my guess is he will have other offers. We will see...

Kids during the Covid period are eligible for 6 years in some cases. We had 2 - 6year players on my daughter's softball team last year.

Of course it was the right choice. The only mistake in this was not firing him last year after all the player defections. The program lost an entire year by not moving on sooner. I like Ben enough he seems like a good guy, but that week he had 3/4 of his players that got many minutes move on...

Also, fire, him, fine. But then you have to spend to hire a stud. The program doesn't attract players or fans anymore. They need the next hire to be able to do both right out of the gate. They really blew it last time when they could have had Mussleman or Dutcher .

I mean maybe, but it is plain to see that this team just doesn't have very much talent. Not sure if there is a single league in D1 basketball this team could win. Sucks, but it is what it is.

It's sad. Because if last years team stayed together, this year would have been one to look forward to. I don't even really fault Johnson as a coach/ X and O guy, etc. It is how he can't keep a roster together. I know the portal and all that, but after his coaching tenure started terribly, then...
