guess so. missed that one.

pretty unceremonious

I think it's a good job - power conference school in NY state with lots of tradition
Yeah, I think they sort of just rushed to give him the job when they tricked Jim into signing those retirement papers.

Rumor is, about 5 coaches have said "no" mostly because Del Conte is a jackass.

But Terry is making it really hard to not be the guy.

Did Jamie Dixon get along with Del Conte at TCU? If so, you'd think he would be the logical choice.

I think Del Conte hired Dixon, but they barely overlapped. Del Conte left the following year, so they were still in the honeymoon period.

Dixon seems determined to make TCU his last stop, though it would be hard to turn down all those burnt orange dollars if the Horns came calling.

Yeah, the new AD sort of knows that he has Mac where he wants him (for now)

This cycle as of right now doesn't help either, nothing is really open except fro ND and UT.

ND would be a nice gig. UT would mean Macs death in about 5 months. UT boosters are insane.
Job security is worth a lot. 1.3 million in Nebraska is a nice check and no doubt they have a nice retirement package etc.

Terry might be doing a bit of a "sneaky" interview with PSU and Cal.

UT AD seems to have a really hard time with thinking he should be the next HC.

Wonder if that means Tang will actually talk to Del Conte this time and leave KSU...which means KSU will call Underwood (alum) again...

Interesting!

He would (this is not me saying it just stupid insiders and a few guys that really seem to know a lot and are connected to Illini Hoops), be on the short list but not #1.

But who knows with these things. Still lots of smoke that UT is doing all they can to get Coach Cal away from Kentucky and I could see him leaving, UK fans are sick of him. Which means Muss would probably go to UK which opens up Arkansas.

Maybe Dana can take the Arkansas job again then

BB coaches never, ever leave K-State for greener pastures!*

*Except for Lon Kruger, Dana Altman, Bob Huggins and Frank Martin.

Lon seemed to have the right idea...leave each school after a few seasons so the fans will always remember you fondly.

I thought about including Cotton Fitzsimmons and Tex Winter as well, but that seemed like piling on.

Colorado has a trio of players in the portal:

CU Buffs transferring

Nique Clifford is a good athlete and a decent player. Would step in and get minutes if he landed at NU. As I mentioned before, Quincy Allen is a buy-low candidate who was DC-area HS player of the year and has some serious talent. Might end up being a bust, but someone will give him a shot.

Hard pass on Lawson Lovering. Seven-footer who can defend okay, but can't make a FT or hit the rim from more than about 5 feet.

Quincy Allen is the exact kind of guy who can take 10+ shots/game for us next year

If Creighton let Greg walk away without matching whatever offer Greg might generate elsewhere I'd be dun with that school....I have a special place in my heart for em for reasons I won't go into but that would be it for me...if they don't care then I won't either.
It's none of my business but when I read this I just imagined that you had the opportunity at a threesome with 2 hot Creighton cheerleaders and you made a deal between God and yourself that if you pulled it off you would forever root for Creighton basketball.

Yeah, I know. I have a sick imagination. My wife tells me all the time.

Isaac Traudt from grand island in the portal redshirted his freshman year.
I am sincerely hoping he was watching how much Griesel seemed to enjoy his year in Lincoln. You know what Dorothy says....

Caleb Love should go to Purdue. They’ll get most of their players back, maybe even Edey and he’d be the one player their missing since their Freshmen guards choked away the end of the year

Yeah, but he is a total chucker. Shoots a ton and low %. But like you said, those PU guards really struggled with pressure.

He’s a good ball handler. I think he could be an asset to them. UNC was all out of whack and both guards were wild shooters

I just doubt we have the NIL $$ for basketball to land some of these guys. Our alumni base is tiny compared to some of the schools we’re recruiting against. It’s too bad that Buffet was bullied by athletes as a kid.
We should repurpose 40% of the charitable contribution fred is due this year

I don’t think trev can write it off & the hat rack sure as sh*t isn’t earning it
