It might be easier to just start reporting WHO IS NOT entering the portal from now. on. College basketball has gotten ridiculous.

......... five minutes after I texted this, the Frank Mitchell news broke. Well done.

Yes these stories do get tiresome and seem to occur with much more regularity at the time this university is thinking about and/or actively replacing a coach. As you said, it is a very tricky subject (almost taboo) but it's a worthy discussion. Whenever this topic comes up it is invariably...

Not trying to disparage either player, but so far the portal hasn't hit us too hard in terms of our assumed production coming back.

He's a very interesting coach to listen to. Great insight. Night and day compared to the last guy. He never comes across as phony to me which is what I've always liked about him (maybe I'm wrong). Wish it had worked out better.

In that case you just call up Fran McCaffrey and say "Just kidding!"

Michigan Wolverines say hi. Pretty nice turnaround for them this year.

Yeah I don't really gamble either. But it does seem like the SEC is stacked at the top. Was interesting to see how "chalky" the conference tournaments were last week.

I'd still happily take the SEC vs the field. You?

Did see something about Rigsby potential having more eligibility. Can't remember where. Anybody else see that or was that a bad source?

I think that is a good point. If others are sniffing around him as a candidate, that is certainly more intriguing. I wasn't a big fan of his as a candidate four years ago, but three tournaments in four years out of the MWC is nothing to sneeze at now.

I would have two questions if Medved ends up as the hire. 1) Would his record be good enough if he didn't have those neat "Minnesota connections"? Three out of the last four years in the MWC (if he makes it this year) is petty good. Certainly he has a far superior resume than Ben Johnson...

Mark and Richard remain close.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to see it, does it really make a sound? Can anybody actually confirm he was on the team this year?

I'm a big fan of Hummel's work also. He's very informative. I've often wondered if at some point he would get into coaching.

We love our "one of us" connections so it will be Niko or Saunders.

Voshon Lenard and Bobby Jackson

You are right. He's not going to answer anything or tip his hand. I agree with you. But one of Mark Coyle's weaknesses is he's a PR nightmare. Putting artificial timelines (maybe I read too much into it) only adds to the perception he's not very accessible, almost aloof. But this won't...

I don't have an issue with it either. Was it old news when everybody woke up five hours later? Frankly he's much more rippable if he only makes himself available for 10 minutes at the press conference tomorrow as has been suggested in the other thread. Stand there and answer the questions...

Fair enough. Very reasonable response. I will say that the race of the next coach is not at all a concern of mine. But your explanation is something I will consider more moving forward. Truce! (y)
