    Great atmosphere for Maryland-Mich State finish. This is what Williams Arena should be like…..

    Craig Smith

    Some creativity Minnesota might learn from. . .and it's interesting as Missouri football turned it on pretty well under Drinkwitz and Dennis Gates had huge turnaround just this year. Univ. of Missouri benefitting from state's law around NIL...

    Five Guys On A Shortlist: If the U Decides Change Is Needed, Aim High & Don't Be Cheap With That Big Ten Cash

    Interesting SI article focused on Indiana and McCollum. Seems similar to what many have raised here which is can he recruit at the level required in this conference. Also mentions he and DeVries re: Gophers...

    Ben Johnson Post-Game Following Northwestern Loss

    They have really zero size. Garcia plays small for his height though he's worked on the rebounding side of things, and they have no bigs. None. This is among the biggest fails. Inability to bring in true inside game. Look at the creativity of coaches at programs with success. It's pulling them...

    Watching Missouri vs. South Carolina. What a crazy turnaround year for Dennis Gates. 9-24 and 0-18 in the SEC last year. Look at them now.

    Five Guys On A Shortlist: If the U Decides Change Is Needed, Aim High & Don't Be Cheap With That Big Ten Cash

    Agree with this. A few here made light of BYU's coaching hire, calling it basically the hiring of a booster's "buddy" in return for NIL dollars. . .and more about NBA coaches can't do it in the college game. BYU looks pretty good, and I don't think their entire roster is built on NIL dollars...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Since it's multiple times I've seen this, may as well ask for some kind of facts to back it up. I think NM's collective has improved a lot, but I'd be surprised if it exceeds Boise State, San Diego State, maybe even Colorado State and UNLV. I'm not this big Pitino fan, but he lost a big time...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Coyle and the Admin will be writing a big check to lure the next coach, but it can/will still attract some capable options.

    Who is an upgrade on the current roster? Frank Mitchell consistently?

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Ben still gets most out of what he has, and I feel like there is some flow and cohesion. These coaches have to be able to draw the talent, no matter where from. NIL helps, but you still have to be able to deliver and pull the kids to your school. Many more beyond Arizona, Gonzaga, a couple...

    I see Payne put up 20 points in a big win for Texas A&M at Mizzou…..he and coleman are a nice one-two punch inside.

    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    It is pretty cool to see how quickly guys like Grant McCasland and Ben McCollum have ascended. You could see it with McCasland at N. Texas. McCollum I wasn't sure (eg. could he make the leap in terms of the type of talent/size required at this level). Texas Tech offense is easy on the eyes, a...

    They need a Kalkbrenner! Look at his progression and impact at Creighton since 2020.

    Chris Beard would turn them positive fairly quickly I think. At some point the Texas baggage is done with. He's doing a great job at Ole Miss.

    Kerwin Walton enters transfer portal

    McCasland can recruit and coach. He was solid at North Texas and has taken it up a notch at Texas Tech.
