2 things -- 1. The portal is much more competitive now than even a few years ago. Everyone is using it now. 2. Niko's players improve -- over time with him and moving from other programs. Particularly in 3 point shooting efficiency.

Davidson was a good team badly coached. Seems lil' McKillop is a long ways off dear old dad. Their best player went to Indiana. I think Durkin's shooting % will improve with better overall play around him to improve the quality of his looks. That's something Niko can do. Davidson kids are...

You responded to me, not the other way around. I could have said the same thing to you. Let me be more clear. PJ is a kitchy used car salesman. Niko is the real f*cking deal and if you don't know you better ask somebody. Bye. Blocked.

PJ comes off completely differently from Niko. And if PJ had done that good a job the program wouldn't be struggling along at pretty much the same level it's been since Glen Mason.

This is an insult to Niko (Niko would never say this but it is) and an indication that the writer doesn't understand what makes Niko such a great fit. Niko doesn't need to mold himself. This community molded him. He's already got a mold here. Somehow Minnesota hired Minnesota's most outgoing...

Santa Clara was one of the very few programs that had no portal guys last year. And they didn't really improve much for the continuity/experience/etc. They could have stood to lose a couple of guys that might have given the opportunity to improve and possibly make the NCAA tournament. I don't...

Days are getting short even at that level. Significant number of transfers impacting programs even in D3.

That's exactly what it was. Saying they aren't shiny and new and fancy. They're special for not being that.

I think Indiana always knew DeVries was their first choice, and McCollum always knew Iowa was his first choice. I also think DeVries knew early on this past season that he was leaving WVU, and sat out his kid for a redshirt as a result.

He is the anti-Pastner. If Pastner is what they wanted, Hodgson would definitely not be. Pastner would definitely win the interview over Hodgson. Better coach? We'll see...not sure it even matters if he can recruit and NIL.

He's an incredible hire and it was a grand slam press conference. He clearly understands how important sales is to the whole thing, but it comes off so authentically. A lot of "we need your money" energy but also a lot of "I believe you'll come through for us because we all want this and I...

Absolutely the best result possible.

6.02 times 10 to the 23rd. On a 1-100 scale. Letter grade - A+ obviously, though probably the easiest test you're ever gonna get as an AD. Could hardly have screwed this up.

Tell me how you're going to do that when he catches at 20 feet and then goes straight left. No opportunity to double. Just a good set play for your best player. Gutsy to do it for a freshman big man, but that's why he'll be an early pick in the draft.

I'd be shocked if they went any other way. Xavier could do the same but I think they have better options elsewise.

I don't think a smaller conference team can do what Gonzaga did in this era. St. Mary's is pretty much at ceiling and even Gonzaga isn't at the level they were and has to change conferences to have a chance to get back there. It's been a very chalky tournament and I think NIL/transfer portal is...

They'll promote Faroukhmanesh. They'll be fine.

They didn't have an answer for Queen and Reese all game. Gutsy by Maryland to leave it to their 5 man but he showed why he's going to be in the NBA next year. Hopefully Crocker and Evans are Gophers next year.

Colorado State so impressive against Maryland so far. Queen is a load for them but they've made Maryland really work to get the ball. And their offense is just pretty. Everyone seems to know their job, spacing is really good despite screening quite a bit, never seem to be bunched up, always have...

Niko's CSU really impressive again. Their offense is so crisp. Always seems like everyone is on the same page and there's a plan there. Defense is trying to make it hard for Maryland to get the ball to Queen, bc CSU has no answer for him when he does get it.
