I agree with you but I think Ben always was playing scared. It's like he knew deep down that he was a poor candidate for the job and may have shied away from possibly embarrassing situations.

Yes, that is a big part of their jobs but few people have great interest in listening to administrators. People do have interest in listening to coaches and are more likely to be interested in a Q & A with coaches. We know that Fleck has made appearances and given talks at donor events. I...

Well, it's not too hard to improve from where we have been lately. The long-term question is what are the limits to improvement?

In hockey, MN is a big fish in a small pond. So, the alternatives are do you want to maximize funding to a sport where the chances of competing at the highest levels are very good but the national interest is low or do you want to improve funding to a chronically underachieving sport where the...

He is s Philly guy (La Salle HS). He was a very good HS player. First went to Wake Forest as a player but transferred and graduated from Penn. His college playing career didn't live up to his HS career.

Excellent shooter: led the Sunbelt in 3 pt percentage (.408), .854 free throw shooter, 3rd in the Sunbelt in True Shooting Percentage (.615). He's only a soph. I like that the coach is going after younger guys. A new coach has a fresh clock and a free pass in year one so now is the time to...

I don't think I'd like it. It would be tougher to blend into the crowd and, if you did something wrong, you would be easy to identify.

Well, you might notice that he was picked up on the second day that the portal was open officially so he found a place more quickly than most.

Rutgers' freshman center, Lathan Sommerville, hit the portal. This guy played in the shadows of the two heralded freshmen this season but I liked him and thought he had potential. He's certainly big enough. He was also an 86% free throw shooter. He's from the Peoria area so we're a lot...

He'll always have those two he made near the end of the game to clinch the victory over Iowa though. They fouled Odukale and Frank near the end and they made them. I was watching an Iowa game thread at the time and someone posted: "Figures. 43% free throw shooter and he makes them both."

Here's a player who just entered the portal from Rhode Island. He didn't do much there but I wonder if people ask for his opinion often because he's ----------- Always Wright

The portal isn't open as long this season so that probably explains why so many are entering more quickly.

Yes, because I think there was a delay for most players to enter this season so there was a flood on the first day of the official opening. I don't know with much degree of confidence how the numbers will compare to last year. On the one hand, you don't have the optional 5th year for most...

I haven't seen them on the decommitted list yet so I guess there is a chance.

He wasn't in his earlier years. Maybe a power conference coach has to be pretty exceptional to avoid the fans souring on him over an extended period of time. I have a central belief about sports fans: the better you do the better they expect you to do. If a team is poor, they want it to be...

I don't think CSU would have been any more impressive than they were if they managed to pull out the win. One thing I liked seeing was that CSU had 53 player minutes and 18 points off the bench. In contrast, Maryland had 21 minutes and 2 points from their bench. Maryland is a strong team but...

The last time he played was 5 minutes on March 9th so I'll say that Michigan will survive without him.

Henley #2: three schools in three years and going for his fourth. Pretty decent player but still. Nate Calmese

Perhaps there will be a softer and more hesitant version of that after the first loss.

Wonder if he is interested in coming back now that Ben is gone?
