Oh, I have no doubt about that. But he’ll be starting over. And it won’t be the same. Good chance he’ll never again have a situation as sweet as he’s walking away from right now (just as Pitino could never again replicate what he departed from in 97).
Dusty May to the NBA

- Start date
99% of the posts on this site are nothing more than speculation. I hope Hawthorne is a player of the year candidate, but I just don’t see him as a impactful player for us next season.
Linking parody accounts here without revealing it's a parody account in the post should be an automatic ban. Doesn't matter if you're trying to be slick, or just plain too stupid to realize that it's a parody account.
Haha he handled it pretty well. But its an absolute knock-out punch for Michigan Basketball and he knows it. In a hypothetical world, say Dusty is at a Michigan for the next 10 years. The difference in Michigan having him for a decade, and having what likely is a carousel of some mediocre coaches.. it might be worth 100/150 wins and probably seleveral March runs, maybe a few F4s and another title. Thats how seismic of a shift this is.
Billy D sits this year out will be in Lexington next year
Collegiate "contracts" are essentially one-year deals, whereas professional contracts are typically more than a year.
The instability of collegiate rosters year-to-year is unsettling to college coaches, especially those who are good enough to court NBA offers.
That is just the way it is right now ...

I don’t believe how prospects see us a single thing to do with Calipari being at Arkansas or anywhere else. I also don’t pay much attention to what former players say or do .
I mean , I can’t stand the bastard either . He’s not always going to have the 3rd easiest sec schedule and a Darius Acuff type player. I believe he will fade away pretty quickly.

LMFAO! The days of Cal “winning big” have been gone for over a decade. NEWSFLASH……he wasn’t “winning big” at Kentucky anymore,lol .
Michigan can easily afford to over pay by a million or two in order to keep guys. Don't expect much movement on their roster.
I have more faith in Cal winning a championship than Pope.
There is almost ZERO chance either wins a championship in the future.

I mean, the dude I was responding to said Cal would “win big” at Michigan. Didn’t really have anything with Pope ,lol .Still tho
This story on CBS shows how much coaches are tired of the NIL era already. He just won the championship and told the reporter he wouldn’t be coaching Michigan 3-4 years from now. He started recruiting the portal right away. This happened while he was getting his COTY award.
This is May talking to a highly regarded player in the transfer portal. The player called May, so he popped out of his chair and had to put our interview on pause for a few moments to see what was happening. During his conversation, the player verbally committed to play for Michigan next season. A huge development. When the call was over, I congratulated him, then he chuckled, saying something to the effect of, "Just because he committed doesn't mean he's coming. We still have to deal with the agent."
The story gets even stranger. This player verbally reinforced his commitment to May two more times in the ensuing weeks.
The agent was a handful, though.
And so Michigan never got him.
He'll be playing elsewhere next season.
That's the portal recruiting experience in a nutshell.
No wonder they want our fast now. It’s a joke with the NCAA having no power. Congress needs to give them some control back asap.

I say he looks at it as college is similar to coaching pros now that college players are paid. Might as well skip the NIL drama and coach a professional team. At least the players are under contract.
With enforceable rules.
Word is May had been heavily tampering with players during the past 2 seasons, enticing them to enter the portal. Calling guys up in December, getting in their ear.
They are hiring one of the current assistants to try and keep the roster together. The problem is Mike Boynton is not a good basketball coach. Also, we're already seeing some of their players saying they learned May was leaving from the internet. So this definitely isn't going smoothly.
I faith that the future stars of the NBA will have more Arkansas players. Arkansas fans should be excited.
Isn’t every basketball thread, and some football threads, about Pope?
Unless he's actually good.
He's a basketball player not an offensive lineman
