As was Wicks. It's a stepping stone job and always will be. ETA: Define success - Gottlieb might want this level of job and the radio job to continue. At a P5 level, that might be less likely.

OTOH, it's UWGB and the Horizon League. A) There's not that far to fall. B) The profile and awareness of the program will be raised. I think it's kinda worth a shot because who cares if it fails?

Mmm, I’m gonna go ahead and disagree with you there. I understand the theory, but there are other staffs at other schools that have track records in developing NBA players.

You are mistaken. There is a deadline for opting out. Past that, you cannot come back.

Coach Sprinkle is in Seattle, Coach Tinkle is in Corvallis. Your joke would've still worked, though it would have been significantly less gross and a little too on-the-nose. Like saying Payne is a pain.

According to Torvik's site, the final defensive efficiency ranks during the Johnson era have been: 2024: 131st 2023: 193rd 2022: 143rd For fun, let's do the 3 years prior: 2021: 61st 2020: 43rd 2019: 53rd On the positive side, *perhaps* the current roster has been constructed to prioritize...

Now that this is a done deal, I want to remind people that Patterson made a splashy declaration that he was staying at Charlotte and 4 days later entered the portal and wound up here. If you were upset with Texas Tech for (likely "tampering" and) plucking Hawkins from the Gophers after he said...

Yes. I have been using that term since the end of the season.

I believe he'd be a transfer from Adams College.

I don't dispute anything you say here. For argument's sake, however, put yourself in the position of this other school that's promised him big $$. Do you stop shopping for anybody else at that position while you wait for his decision? If you do wait and then he stays in the draft, your plan Bs...

I guess it doesn't matter who the coach is. Embrace the suck.

No. He won his appeal to be let back on the team while awaiting his day in court.

Go look at their current roster. They may add to it, but without the rapist, Domask, Hawkins, and to a lesser extent Dainja, they have a lot to replace.

There can’t be much difference in SOS with all 18 in the current top 88 (and 15 in top 53).

I have zero clue. It was hard enough with 14 teams. I know that I don’t trust Woodson to be able to convert talent into a top 4. I also will have to see it with Purdue sans their cheat code. As for Oregon, they’ve had high talent but were in the NIT two years ago and a bubble team this year...

He also put a "do not contact" message on his portal entry. Who knows why, but that seems like it's an advantage for MN, under the right scenario. That scenario would be: a) he opts out of the NBA draft, b) MN hasn't yet gotten his replacement on board, c) other schools that might have been...

Yes, Hoiberg has been building rosters with transfers for way longer than almost anyone, but that hasn't translated to that much success in Lincoln. They were good last year (and really the year before) largely due to a unique talent in Tominaga. I think I heard that Rienk Mast is taking a...

If they still have to worry about the chance he might come back even now, why does it make a difference when you enter the portal?

CBJ has had to approach this offseason as if Christie is not coming back, regardless of whether it happened via the NBA or the portal. It's just not wise to intentionally hold a roster spot for another month - if he stays in the draft, you missed a month's worth of prime portal recruiting. No...

This is the move every fringe NBA player with eligibility left should do. No one should read any more into it than that. Standard operating procedure. If MN has not found its replacement in a month, they might be able to get him back. But you certainly can’t keep a spot open hoping for that...
