    Need a post presence regardless how pope wants to play

    I didn't know that about John Thompson but I've always thought goaltending a few likely makes around the basket each game wouldn't be the worst thing (assuming you are also getting legitimate blocks). Just the mental thing of seeing your shot blocked rather than watching it go through the hoop...

    ***Final Four Thread***

    I didn’t put much stock in the Duke win over Michigan earlier this year because Mara barely played, the refs took care of that for Duke quickly. Between Clingon on those UConn title teams, all of Florida’s bigs last year, and now Michigan and Mara it’s starting to look like having a dominant...

    ***Final Four Thread***

    I don’t feel strongly about this game but I think Michigan will be a better matchup against UConn so I’m pulling for them…

    UNC Coaching Search

    Donovan sticking to his guns on the "no convos 'til after the season" thing. Glad it isn't only us I guess!

    The commissioners of the major conferences publicly backed President Donald Trump’s latest executive order

    The question isn't whether the EO makes good or bad changes to college athletics. It was developed alongside a lot of people closely associated with the game who have good feel for the issues it is facing now, and while reasonable people could disagree it is at least a coherent, comprehensive...

    Lloyd staying at Arizona

    It's definitely looking that way regarding the blue bloods poaching top coaches. It seems more and more like blue bloods will have to hire like everyone else, and get the best available up-and-coming. coach rather than the best available non-blue blood coach. The advantage they have is they can...

    Bill Self Returning

    What are the odds he retires in two months to force Kansas to replace him with his choice?

    I asked Grok AI to build us a championship roster.

    They are inane and add nothing

    Somto Cyril Intends to Portal

    It's actually remarkable Mike White wins as much as he does the way it seems like every offseason any player worth a lick transfers out.

    Kevin Keatts possible AC addition

    That would be a high quality hire. He was known as a recruiter and was able to get good players on his team, either HS or transfers. He obviously had the one magical FF run. In the Pitino tree as well. Another former HC, this time in a power conference, and he wasn't a terrible HC by any means...

    Florida’s 7’9 Olivier Rioux To Portal

    I hope he goes somewhere that he can get actual minutes, I want to see a 7'9" clunker in action, even if it's D2.

    Daeshun Ruffin

    It's worth noting his career FT% is over 82%. The NBA takes FT% to be a better indicator of a guy's potential as a three point shooter than the 3pt shooting itself. I'm guessing he was a shot-chucker at Jackson St, and his percentage goes up with a more limited role. That's a dangerous game to...

    Mark Fox

    I've been saying since year one I want Pope to hire a "defensive coordinator" and turn over 90% of the defensive game plan and coaching to them. Perhaps someone in the Chris Beard, TJ Otzelberger, or Rick Barnes trees. Or even someone Mark may know from the Pitino pipeline. I love to watch the...

    Dusty May

    To some extent we have Cal to blame for May being off the board, he was signed on with Michigan before the UK job was open. It is at least fun that Louisville tried their hardest to get him and whiffed. At this point it's very hard to imagine him leaving Michigan, knowing he's got plenty of...
