This seems to be a tough week for some on here, including some of the more toxic usual suspects. It's good to not take sports so seriously that it degrades your well being. Even though I don't appreciate the chaos that contemporary college basketball has turned into, I find that I'm really...

Nothing's ever a done deal until it's a done deal. In any case, this is a straw man, as I never bought into the report. Maybe you have me confused with another poster. I was hopeful but never convinced. My take since they were eliminated by Maryland is that he was going to have a lot of suitors...

That's a good metric to live by. You need star players. These last six scholarships are going to tell the tale. That said, one reason you hire someone like Niko is his track record of development. The idea is that one of these younger additions will develop into top players before it's all over.

Like with the Ben Johnson hire, there's not enough info to know for sure. Like with the Heide situation, there was almost certainly mutual interest, but money won out in the end.

Not gonna get into one of your endless arguments. You win.

You can judge it how you want it, but it adds up to me. We fans are forced to connect data points and try to figure out what goes on behind the scenes...for instance, with Ben Johnson's hire. From my perspective, where there's smoke, there's fire. It reminds me of the Doug Wrenn situation...

You got me again. Right as usual.

To clarify, I would never say that all UNC athletes are taking all fake classes. But when you're busted for running the racket they were running, it tarnishes everyone who competes there. UNC is not a bad institution, mind you. Some of the best minds in my industry have worked there and...

I find eco's answer far more substantive than yours. It adds up.

As Mother Superior said in The Sound of Music, whenever a door closes, a window opens.

Jeff Hagen was one of the best interior passers I've ever seen.

Some do. This was a while ago, but I took classes with some, both at Morris and the Twin Cities. My good bud and fellow gymnastics dad Peter Olson was a walk-on for Dutcher back in the day, and he was Mechanical Engineering and eventually went to law school and is now a patent lawyer for 3M...

Rubber match: Garcia returns

That's exactly the point. Last year's team should have been NIT material. In fairness, Mike Mitchell's injury derailed them early, and he never regained form. But they showed what they were capable of by beating some good teams. With more consistency, who knows? Coaching matters. My assessment...

I haven't fact checked Gopher Crew, but if this is true, this is good news. Keep in mind that last year's roster was ranked top 60 by KenPom pre-season, which has usually been a solid metric. The Gophs are currently in the mix for some star players, and there may be more coming out. At very...

You speak for me. He's a heck of a player and really flashed in the tournament, but he hasn't had the points production to warrant that kind of payout, in my opinion. The U would have been foolish to even try to match that. We're going to need some star power if we're going to replace Garcia...

Both sought after for a reason. Drake went to the NCAAs and won there with D2 players.

The Big Ten has always been an academically rigorous conference, and I hope it always will be. Michigan just turned an athlete away for scholastic reasons. That would never happen at North Carolina. What a joke. Yes this is sour grapes.

Perhaps the Gophers can beat them in the tourney one of these years. Our new coach advanced further there than they did last season. Here's to many more. Glad to have this behind us.

It's understandable. UNC is still UNC, with all its prestige and history and powder blue uniforms. And money, to be sure. I'd rather have guys that want to be here, where the athletes take the same classes as the rest of the student body. You could've been part of the beginning of something...
