He does not have another year of eligibility. I'm not saying that makes it impossible because who knows what the rules are anymore but if Garcia was granted another year of eligibility it would completely put the system on its head.

Obviously, I don't think we will load up the program with 12 players with more potential/ability than Parker Jefferson, so I am not spinning this in any way. I would have liked to keep Jefferson. That said, I wasn't super impressed with his highlights. I know a lot of the people who know about...

It was essentially Colin Sexton against 5 guys.

Good call. I just think Fitzgerald can potentially get another high paying job.

Has any coach ever blown a better opportunity than Mel Tucker?

He's also batting about .750 on predicting MN basketball players who will end up at Wisconsin.

I'm not trying to dismiss your questions, but you're free to start your own NIL organization. It's not "our" dollars, it the "dollars" of the people donating or buying things from DTA.

Agreed, 100%. With the amount of money pouring into college athletics, drastic change was inevitable. It was bizarre to consider the athletes "amateur". So we all pretended to live in that fiction. The problem is that the structure of the NCAA and various rules with publicly funded...

As I get older, I am trying hard to not compare things with how they used to be, but I am losing that battle each and every day. To answer your question, yeah, I much preferred the pre-NIL/pre-portal world.

Their desire.

He had been dragged to court for unpaid credit card debt in December and a poster put something about gambling. I really hope that is not the case.

I've heard this too and I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not sure how an age limit could be deemed a reasonable restraint on trade.

I don't think it would be legal for the NCAA to do it because it would be deemed an unreasonable restraint on trade and thus a violation of the Sherman Act. It could be something that is contractually negotiated and then mandated, but because of Title IX, those types of contracts are...

Taurus Samuels was the worst but LuCye Patterson and Mike Mitchell didn't seem to be in great shape. I believe there were some conditioning issues with Ta'Lon Cooper when he first arrived too but I can't remember if that's 100% true.

For Dawson Garcia's final senior season!

They should have cancelled their season. That was egregious to see college athletes cheering and having fun. It reminds me of this hideous display of sportsmanship when Justin Walley showed his abs and potentially a pretend properly holstered firearm.

Yeah, I don't think we optimized his skillset here. I'm not sure there is a good starter there but I think a quality Big 10 role player.

Adding to this - - Niko plays a lot of guards (6-7 guards usually get 10+ minutes per game) and he has a tighter rotation with his big men.

I think it's over. The moment they started seeing it through the lens of a "restraint on trade", it was over because it's almost impossible to undo. Because of the NIL rulings, it has become exponentially more and more like a normal job. While it might have been a close call initially, it's not...

Which is actually really important for Ben's offense because he prefers chubby point guards.
