    Now this is some bad luck

    Maybe the grass isn’t always greener.

    More than HALF of all DI men’s basketball players are in the portal

    Which has not even been open 24 hours. Last count I saw was 2,901 out of 5,607 players. No matter how crazy you think it is, it keeps getting crazier. Over half is completely beyond absurd.

    OT…. Some believe the moon landing in 1969 was staged…. What you think

    Yes. The Biblical account of creation makes it clear that God specifically designed the earth for life...and life for earth. If one believes the biblical account, it would be very odd indeed to give such a detailed account of creation but leave out life created elsewhere. Of course...

    UConn‘s coach goes on a rant

    Is spring practice over?

    WBB: 23 of top 50 players from the 2025 class are in the portal.

    You would know better than me, since I don't follow WBB directly much at all. But why aren't we more of a recruiting juggernaut? She's won 3 titles in 11 seasons (discounting 2020), has basically made us a FF lock each season, a title contender every year. She's still on the young side, has...

    Interesting notes on Michigan's title

    It's probably not a coincidence that Cignetti and May both took over absolutely terrible teams and both won a title in their second season after building the team largely from the portal. No doubt this is every team's blueprint.

    WBB: 23 of top 50 players from the 2025 class are in the portal.

    The men's portal opened at midnight and there are already over 1,000 players in.

    Is spring practice over?

    Not really hearing anything at all from spring practice. Last I heard there was going to be no spring game, at least not at WB. Back when SOS was coach, there were daily updates. But spring practice was more important then and there was generally more interest around the program. I can't...

    WBB: 23 of top 50 players from the 2025 class are in the portal.

    The number is sure to go up and surpass over half of the top 50 from the 2025 class transferring after a single season. You seriously have to wonder what the future is of high school recruiting when a coach knows he/she has maybe a 50/50 shot of retaining that player past 1 season.

    For me, I don't see it as arrogant at all b/c we had nothing to do with it.

    Interesting notes on Michigan's title

    Everyone seems to agree on the one-time free transfer limit, which means it will never come to fruition.

    A spinoff of that question: If aliens exist, can they play OL?

    Interesting notes on Michigan's title

    The portal was originally, but only briefly, viewed as a way to plug holes on a roster. Now, I'd say it's much more of a 50/50 split between building rosters via the portal and via high school recruiting. And it's trending heavily towards being portal dominated, as evidenced by IU's and...

    Do aliens/extraterrestrial life exist? I say "no", based solely on theological reasons.
