Too rich for my blood.

Agreed. His advantage at McNeese was that he had much better players than the rest of the conference. I’m speculating that Self is in the same boat. His advantage has disappeared with legalized cheating. We’ll see with Wade. His chances are better in ACC than Big Ten or SEC.

Can someone fill me in? Who is Nolan Groves? Related to our Groves? He must be confident to turn down Yale.

Are you stalking?

Wingspan!

Six figures or slightly lower. Obviously it’s a target that will be different for different people.

Is this guy a legitimate Big Ten starter?

I’m not a zero sum guy, but if that kind of money is going into college sports salaries, there have to be a lot of other organizations that rely on voluntary contributions that are going to lose out on what they may have gotten before.

No. It’s not real. It can’t be. I have no numbers but I would bet that less than half of D1 players will get paid and only a small percentage of those who do will get life changing money. As one who helps pay those bills with ticket purchases and tv subscriptions, I want to see those numbers.

If the criterion is overtaking their instate rivals, his tenure will end quickly.

Hell.

Somehow the contracts that must inevitably enter this have address the sandbagging temptation. Workers comp has an elaborate system for determining how much and what kind of work someone coming off injury can do. Should be possible to replicate in the pay for play era.

Give me the one who is confident enough she can earn it and be part of a winning team before one who demands something that wasn’t earned on the court. This program needs players who want to...

Six games? Another injury? Would have two years left. I’ll fear Washington since that’s where his previous coach is now, I think.

I’m on board for immediately successful, too.

Me as well but that was waaay more than ten years ago.

I also like that they seem to fit a pattern of player that Niko has succeeded with previously. He’s not going what every player he wants, but hopefully he gets players who fit.

Sorry to insult your profession, Bob. But I’m predicting that some of the same lawyers/agents collecting commissions on pay for play will turn around and sue universities five to ten years down the line because their clients are out of money and the schools didn’t give them an education. It’s a...

But there is no cheating anymore so that variable is no longer a factor.

Two shooters, including one who is an excellent point guard, and a versatile and reliable big are necessary for this team to be competitive next season. The other three can be role players or developmental players.
