    Mart in the NBA

    He’ll get his cup of coffee in the NBA first. At this point as more and more guys have left the draft to go back to college, he’s definitely getting drafted in the second round. It won’t be a guaranteed deal and will be a paycut from what he got his last year of college. But he’ll get a year to...

    Mart in the NBA

    No extremely atypical. The draft has the lowest number of non-senior entries in 20+ years thanks to NIL making it very lucrative for kids who aren’t guaranteed first rounders to stay in college as long as possible.

    4-star PG Jaxson Davis — Illinois Player of the Year — talks Northwestern

    Nah he’s cheap. All the big boys aren’t showing any interest. I know Illinois and Michigan both offered years ago but neither is really pursuing him. (I know he’s visiting Michigan but I read he’s a backup to their backup options at the moment)

    Max Green enters the portal after one year as a Wildcat

    Well according to many of the denizens of the old Rivals board, it didn’t happen and was all fabricated

    Flow of international players into college programs

    Why are we always two steps behind everyone? It feels like we are always reacting to what has already happened vs leading.

    Timelines are too tight for courts to help. The draft is like 6 weeks away.

    NCAA basketball tournaments set to move to 76 teams

    I completely agree. Although, anyone who said this as a reason to have concerns about Braun this past fall was shouted down.

    NCAA basketball tournaments set to move to 76 teams

    There will be a lot of mediocre coaches pointing to a tourney berth as the 72nd team in (and the 44th out of 45 at large teams) as evidence that they deserve a contract extension or to keep their job.

    No, they’ve said nobody is grandfathered in.

    Mart in the NBA

    I think the odds are pretty good he gets drafted. In a typical year, he’d be an extremely long shot but outside of the lottery picks (which are very strong this year), the rest of the draft STINKS. Anyone with eligibility is staying in school because they can make way more money via NIL than...

    Max Green enters the portal after one year as a Wildcat

    Yes and no. On the surface it’s weird, but I think there may be some logic. It’s certainly a lateral move in terms of program prestige and competitiveness. But there are a couple reasonable motivators to make the move: 1) He’d basically already achieved the likely ceiling at Akron. He went 34-2...

    Max Green enters the portal after one year as a Wildcat

    John Groce just moved from Akron (where he’s really gotten them rolling) to Charleston. Hope Green can be a good culture builder there as the program resets with a new coach.

    Add another guard

    Is it just middle aged men trying out new she/they pronouns?

    Most schools do this. I don’t get why we don’t. It wouldn’t hurt attendance; you know which games will have huge demand.

    I know that most schools require a significant NIL donation in order to purchase season tickets. I have a friend who’s a season ticket holder for basketball down in Rantoul (Champagne) and he said that he had to donate $2500/seat before he was even allowed to buy his season tickets (and that...
