where is your faith?

Earth to Major "whoever the Fck you are".... brilliant observation, coach obviously must be a failure since he hasn't filled out the team in his first week of being at the U.

Who says the B1G isn't attractive to good coaches. Any coaching spot in the B1G is a seat at the table of one of the most powerful basketball conferences in the country. You are coaching against many of the best coaches in the country.

A typical AI answer! Very non-informative, filled with lots of non-specific speculation. And most likely not true.

BFD. If the new regime can get the NIL money like expected to compete in the B1G. Giving out scholarships to HS players will be rare occurrence these first few years. You only invest that time on a player if you are really excited about them. HS players will only get limited playing time and...

Sure, maybe you can throw in a couple of combined practices with a few of the local high schools also.... WTF, why would you want to dilute your practices with a bunch of kids that have no business being on the same practice field? And why would you introduce them to your style and tempo of...

Of course there is an upward slope.

it is not worth the effort

Almost as bad as when Hurley was taped criticizing a ref telling him that he was the best coach in the Fcking sport: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/oTYVxJ8la_U

I agree. There was a very vocal local basketball crowd that vented about how they were ignored by the U under Pitino. So the local crowd got their way with local celebrities as coaches at the U. The local basketball powers clearly did not delivery on their promises and it showed just how...

Any info on how the practices have gone? Players that have stood out, etc…
