    Coaching Changes says source they trust: Muss already sending 3rd party inquiries to Minnesota and ASU as well as several less realistic spots

    For the lurkers like me who hop on here for a laugh every once in awhile, we have people wishing we would have hung onto a coach with a .360 winning percentage in the conference that finished his 8th season in charge 6-14. A conference that year that had just one team make it to the second...

    Bama Basketball Player Charged with Capital Murder

    All of this is a societal issue that we have no interest in fixing. How numb we’ve all become to frequent death and in the social media era, exposure to it, speaks to how rotten things are. Education, prevention and help for the mental ill of all ages and backgrounds should be our focus but here...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    There's reasons people on here want to see CBJ fail that go well beyond what happens on the court. Not sure this board was ever a place for logical thinking but it definitely isn't these days.

    Tyrell Terry retires from Basketball at age 22

    I didn’t think I mentioned you Bob but if you feel like a caveman, that is something you will have to work out on your own.

    Tyrell Terry retires from Basketball at age 22

    It seems the cavemen among us that once spent their time yelling at clouds have moved to message boards and social media to tell us how the younger generations are living wrong. I could not imagine ragging on a 22 year old that's expressing his struggles with mental health in a time where...

    Some schools have future HOFers as gap year QBs, what can I say 😄

    All Things Taison Chatman Recruiting Thread (Class of 2023, Totino-Grace HS, Gophers Offered)

    Really bizarre take. I think his point is that from a national perspective, basketball in Minnesota has been slept on and that’s true as there’s still quite a few that slip through the cracks and go onto have great college careers at mid majors. Don’t really understand why people are putting...

    ESPN: Kansas men's basketball players set to profit off Jayhawks' 'Barnstorming Tour'

    Not really big on the autographs and dinner thing personally but I love the idea of doing a tour around the state. Good opportunity for people especially families that can't make the trip to Lawrence for a game. Gotta imagine kids will love the skills clinic they're doing, hopefully this type of...

    Jay Wright retires

    NIL isn’t anywhere near as damaging as the one time free transfer. Villanova with Wright was never going to have trouble getting the guys they want and that’s reflected in their 2022 class. Most of the bigger NIL guys are one and dones and they never recruited many of those guys anyway. Zion...

    2022 Transfer Portal Discussion

    I would guess Strong commits pretty soon and we get PG news within the next 2 weeks

    2022 Transfer Portal Discussion

    Apparently he’s been through quite a lot. Went to UT-Martin to play for his dad and he sadly passed away. Hopefully a place like the U can give him some stability and support

    If Eric Musselman was our coach

    Not sure we ever had the financial backing off the court for Muss to truly thrive here. Just a different game they’re playing at Arkansas when you have Jerry Jones and Warren Stephens on speed dial.

    2022 NCAA Tournament Thread

    This is not a difficult conference to climb with competent leadership. If Richard Pitino can finish 4th in the Big Ten, it really doesn’t take much.

    What grade do you give Ben Johnson for his first year?

    The comparison was made to show that even good to great coaches can have first seasons like these where they start hot and trail off. Matt Painter went 9-19 (3-13 in conference) his first season at Purdue, that doesn’t mean the season was a complete failure. It’s simple minded to form an opinion...

    What grade do you give Ben Johnson for his first year?

    Fleck took over a program that won 9 games with a very promising freshmen group (that turned out to be historic). Johnson took over a team that finished 13th the year prior with Carr transferring no matter what, Robbins was only sticking around if his uncle did and an underwhelming group of...

    What grade do you give Ben Johnson for his first year?

    Giving an F is silly. I know we live in a time of knee jerk reactions but there wasn’t a soul that had this team finishing 4 games under .500 before the season started. Particularly with power conference road wins including the big one at Michigan. Despite being undersized and undermanned, they...

    Ben Johnson and this team

    May not be the worst thing to give these guys a day or two off of practice or keep it to walk throughs. Maybe do some skill drills with the underclassmen but the older guys are what they are, there’s nothing that’s going to happen in practice in the next 3 weeks that’s going to change anything...

    The Ben Johnson Hire vs. Comparable Hires

    The problem with using history to set expectations is things change quickly particularly in the portal era. The U is running out of reasons not to have a competitive basketball program that makes the tournament every year with the new found advantages that we have that we didn’t before between...
