    WKU

    I mean, you could also argue he has done "more with less" than most coaches. Nobody has won at Mississippi State before or after he was there. WKU has been in a slump for about 10 years but he has them back in the national conversation the last two years. These aren't big name blue blood...

    WKU

    I think the idea is to try to get more than one bid. This year CUSA had a good chance before conference play started and then the teams at the top got a couple bad losses. It will be a one bid league again this year but hopefully that last 4 games being against Top 100 teams can help a decent...

    Western Ky just took down West Virginia

    Technically that isn't true. He said his family got money while he was at Mississippi State under Stansbury. That money came from one of those shoe company agents and the school had nothing to do with it. There is a reason that Mississippi State nor Stansbury are under any type of investigation...

    Charles Bassey

    WKU has all their games nationally broadcast since they own their own satellite network (Hilltopper Sports SN) and have an independent TV deal with Fox Sports. Very fortunate to have that deal. Fairly certain I read in the news a year or two ago the WKU AD made it public knowledge that they...

    SIAP: Charles Bassey to WKU

    From a WKU fan, here is a little perspective you won't get on here: Stansbury and Bassey have had a relationship for over two years now dating back to when he was still an assistant at TAMU. Bassey's handler/coach also was the handler/coach for one of our current players on roster (Moustapha...

    KYKY Tandy called by Kentucky this morning, taking unofficial visit per Kentucky New Era

    WKU is in C-USA. Left the Sun Belt 4 years ago. Kind of thought that was common knowledge by now.

    Mitchell Robinson to return to WKU

    Can't say for sure, but my guess is he sells them something fairly obvious. Go to UK or KU or UNC and compete for playing time, maybe you don't do as well as you are supposed to, and you dont get drafted as high. ...or come to WKU, start, dominate competition, and be drafted high. Facilities...

    Mitchell Robinson all but guaranteed to Kansas. LSU out.

    He committed to TAMU while stansbury was there, then came with him to WKU where he signed his NLI.

    Mitchell Robinson all but guaranteed to Kansas. LSU out.

    Exactly this. Robinson messed up by leaving WKU. He probably didn't realize that he would not be able to play college ball this year. He has hurt his draft stock by not being able to play any CBB, and therefore cost himself a lot of money. Shammond is a snake that tried to pimp out MR while on...

    Mitchell Robinson has left WKU?

    He would be UK's highest rated recruit. Probably would start. That being said, he won't be playing college basketball anywhere if he does end up leaving WKU. Already had two weeks of official practice/classes. Would need an NCAA waiver, and they have never granted one in a situation even close...

    Mitchell Robinson has left WKU?

    Mitchell hasn't just enrolled in classes and taken financial aid (the two main reasons that kids have to sit out), but on top of that, he has participated in almost two full weeks worth of official practices. He is not transferring to any NCAA school. JUCO, training year, or overseas. I almost...

    GYERO ARCHIVE

    I do live there. Have for the last 5 years. It's exploded in the last several years as WKU grew. The downtown area is booming. Night life is fantastic. People who knock on it probably haven't visited in a long time. Such as the poster a few up, who said he went there a lot when he was a kid. The...

    GYERO ARCHIVE

    Anyone bashing on Bowling Green obviously has never spent much time there. Amazing city. Fastest growing in Kentucky. How can anyone get mad at WKU for trying to get big time in athletics? They've always been a force in basketball, save for the last few years. Not sure why people are surprised...

    OT - Top 10 player Mitchell Robinson Godfather leaving WKU

    Stansbury had a very close relationship with MR well before Shammond was ever in the picture. He was committed to his previous school as his lead recruiter before he left for the WKU job. No precedent for letting a kid out of a LOI for an assistant leaving. He isn't going anywhere, especially...
