That's my hope. Recruit players to your system. If you can do it at CSU you can do it here.

I'm not too worried about it. Medved is an alum, gopher fan, and very strong ties to the state. It's his job not his wife's job. I'm married and my wife is from Green Bay. If I had the option to take the Vikings coaching job vs the Packers, there wouldn't even be a hesitation.

I've heard it is NIL related. WVU NIL budget is ~$5 mil, and Iowa is lower. DeVries doesn't want to take the job if there are less resources. Now I call BS on WVU having a ~$5 mil NIL budget. WV is a poor state GDP per capita wise (not a perfect indicator of wealth). They have some wealthy...

100% Niko is the guy, and we probably don't need this thread much longer. But it would be helpful for others to follow or know what they are getting into by having the proper thread. I have things to add but not enough to start the thread myself. Plus I am saving my first thread to be "Niko...

Better yet, why even play the game. We didn't lose in the tourney, claim it a Mickey Mouse Tournament and declare ourselves champions. While we are at it hang the Final Four Banner too.

Anyone want to start an NIL thread to discuss it more there? Rather than the coaching search thread, where people are looking for coaching news and throwing out names.

That's because there won't be any news until CSU losses.

Really that I have a team to root for the NCAA tourney. CSU is fun to watch, like the sophomores. Sign me up for Niko.

Medved. He also has some good young players that could come with and play in the big 10. Kyan Evans looks like a stud. Excited to watch again tonight.

They have some good sophomores that could come with. Add in Asuma, Eaglestaff, Terrance Brown, and a big and we'd have a pretty damn good team.

I don't think I want Muss Bus after his last two years. Maybe I am wrong but seems to be struggling to be successful.

I mean his record 4 years ago wasn't similar is the correct answer. He had never made a NCAA Tourney. He has made it 2 out of 3 years since and I think they sneak in this year since they are one of the hottest teams in CBB. As for little Richie. I'd like to imagine that he has made...

I actually disagree with this. 4 years ago Niko hadn't made an NCAA tourney with CSU. He coached there 3 years and went from 12-20 to 20-8 with a NIT appearance. I felt he was unqualified at the time. Since then he has made the tourney 2 out of 3 years and possible again this year.

And he was ahead of TJ Otzelberger when he was at UNLV. Pitino was made for the NIL era and learned from his time here. I get the hesitancy (I was too but have been warming up to him the last couple of weeks). Probably helps that CSU is one of the hottest teams in CBB.

Let's be honest. No matter who is hired there will be immediately a disaster thread created.

I am guessing it is going to be Medved. I am 100% okay with this. He has had success at CSU. He finds diamonds in the rough, and he has a good group of sophomores who could come along with him. I get we want splashy, but no matter who we get it will be exciting and better than what we had.

Ryan Saunders has a worse career win pct than Ben and has never coached in college... You would entertain that guy??? That would be like combining the hire of Pitino and Johnson. Hiring a guy because his dad was a great coach and has no experience. That would be a complete disaster.

Similar list, but I am not as high on Odom as others. Utah State and VCU are traditionally pretty decent basketball schools. We are not. Can he take a bad program and make them good? If that is the direction we go, I would definitely be all in though! I do agree we don't get past Niko. He has...

Let the coach search begin!

I think only Coyle knows if Ben will get another year. By all metrics he does not deserve another one. I do think the local media banging the Ben drum is something he is stirring up with them or they are doing for clicks. 75% confidence that Ben is fired within the next week. Whalen is more of...
