Some thought Fife was being groomed to take over for Izzo at MSU but he heads back to the ol' alma mater. Could be a similar situation where he would succeed Woodson in the long term. Big news though, Fife was a strong recruiter and was the primary guy on Tre Holloman for Michigan State.

It would be an interesting fit. He did just sit through 30 minutes a night of Devin Askew so Cal may be willing to live with Carr's defensive lapses a little more than he otherwise would. on a side note, Cal doesn't seem long for the game to me. He's been running around talking a big game...

I’ve wondered how different Carr would look in a situation that isn’t “you need to score 25 or we lose” though. I wonder the same about Mason and Coffey. Put some shooters around those guys and the assist numbers are probably higher, less scoring responsibility likely means they’d be more...

Minnesota guards are built different. Lock down the borders 😂

Agreed, don’t know how he got the ball without going through the arm. The pass was incredible though

Headed to the Olympics!

Turge making some moves coming off the extension. Should be one of the favorites to win the conference.

haha I'd take anything at this point, I was just starting to look into his history a bit. He may have been in consideration and that scoops page just ran with it who knows. Doogie quote tweeting a page with 1300 followers is funny though.

seems like a really weird thing for that scoops page to make up but I guess we'll see what happens.

Gabe's got a year left of college basketball (two if he wants to take advantage of the COVID year), if he wants to be on a good team before he's out of eligibility, it would be smart for him to look around because it's likely going to take Johnson a couple years at least to get things going...

Until the NCAA does something about it (which they won’t), we have to accept that cheating is the way of the world at the elite level in the sport. Wooden cheated, Roy cheated, Coach K continues to cheat, Self cheats, Calipari cheats, I mean the whole SEC cheats whether the coaches want it to...

April Fools? But seriously, always enjoyed Roy’s sense of humor. Wish him the best of luck in retirement and hope he gets into TV or stays involved in college hoops in some way. I imagine first call goes to Tony Bennett (don’t think Few’s ever leaving Gonzaga), Scott Drew...take your pick...

Gonzaga’s set the bar pretty high moving forward for College Basketball. One of the most well rounded teams I’ve seen at this level. 20 years in the making, hopefully they see it out.

An exact quote from Tony Bennett's intro press conference at UVA "There's a couple things I need to accomplish right away before we get going. The first one is this, I need to fill my staff, I need to get a qualified excellent staff. They gotta be able to recruit, have to have ties in this area...

No coach is approaching recruiting with the thought I need this many from this state and this many from that state. I don't doubt that Bennett does his due diligence and prioritizes fit in a recruit but I think by focusing on that entirely, you're downplaying the buy in and work that was put in...

Coach K, who else? If you're a building program that's recruiting successfully on a national level, there's probably some dirty business going on behind the scenes. Took Tony Bennett five years before he could really recruit outside of VA, NC and Georgia.

I think that says more about Pitino's ignorance and arrogance early on than the recruits in the Midwest. Wisconsin's recruited the region almost exclusively for the last two decades and we see where it's got them, Iowa had a great regular season with a bunch of Midwest kids and Iowa State's had...

Kimani Young was as connected as anybody to the Northeast tri-state when he got here (which is why Hurley wanted him at UCONN), that didn't help us at all in recruiting good players from that area while he was here. When you're a building program, a kid with strong P6 interest from the coasts or...

Can't hurt. Gotta imagine he'll play 2 but he could obviously play up to 3 seasons with the COVID year. Between Hoggard (I know he plays off ball a bit for them too), Walker and 2021 signee Jalen Akins, they're set at PG for awhile. Big chance at a statement win on the trail for Ben and his...

For Coyle to end the search so abruptly and hire Ben, he had to have been throwing around some notable names for potential assistants and with how he spoke about the emphasis on recruiting (specifically in state) at Johnson’s intro presser, this would make a lot of sense. One thing I’ve been...
