    Left Coast Pirates - Season Finale / Portal Planning

    Seton Hall for record had no NIL for the 2025-2026 season. If this money was in the “NIL” bucket then we would have and should have signed players more aggressively in the early signing period. All money that was previously directed to NIL collectives were sent to Pirate Blue. This allowed...

    Clark Gone

    Outside of the DAW example that has been the standard. So expecting a higher profile player to come back is probably not realistic, hence Jerry’s take that they are “gone.” but who knows maybe he finds out his agent was wrong and those higher offers don’t exist. So let’s have some fun...

    Left Coast Pirates - Season Finale / Portal Planning

    Appreciate your opinion. My response is above, is as much as I desire to touch it. I don’t think it’s basketball relevant and not important to me in the big picture. Tom might feel differently. However, Sha should be evaluated based on, on court and basketball program related topics only...

    Left Coast Pirates - Season Finale / Portal Planning

    This is exactly why I didn’t touch Tom’s comment. Because I didn’t want it to get misinterpreted. I do believe some people disapprove of the way Sha speaks in his postgame press conferences and it’s not because he is being combative. I DO NOT make the correlation that all fans who criticize...

    Left Coast Pirates - Season Finale / Portal Planning

    A little late to the party but we finally got a chance to record our final take on the season. We also take a deep dive into portal planning and what’s next for the program. https://on.soundcloud.com/z1KMzTBPkwkIRDzIcM

    Is Big East Best for SHU into the future?

    I wouldn’t invest the $10m either. The program is at a serious crossroads.

    Is Big East Best for SHU into the future?

    What I can’t figure out is why people who think we should step down to the A10 or MAAC think you would transition apples to apples. Our BE revenue share would be gone. We would make even less on ticket sales / season tickets because the demand would go down when the teams in the building...

    If hypothetically he asked for $2.5M (which some reports have rumored) would you have committed that much of our potential budget to Budd?

    Hines - zoom list

    Guess this hurts the theories that Hines would back him up.

    Clark Gone

    Maybe it’s not about matching at this point. my guess is SHU made their offer based on what they thought his value was relative to their projected budget. His agent has him convinced that his open market value is higher than that offer. The only way to realize that pay day is to enter the...

    Luke Murray reportedly

    BC always had some talent on their rosters throughout their time in the Big East even all the way back to the early days of the conference. John Bagley (NBA) 1629 points in only 3 years BE All 1st team (2) BE POY 198 Michael Adams (NBA) 3 times All - 2nd team 1650 points scored Jay...

    Willard Special

    This is why I have set you to “ignored” as a poster along with a few others. But I saw your comment before I logged in where that setting is saved. You clearly just look for fights with other members. You said “weren’t we 7th in NIL spending?” All I did was repost what the common response...

    More Jerry

    I’m with you. Just based on what some of the top guys reportedly got, this roster feels like it was in the low $5m range, if you scaled the other players compensation down based on prior track record.
