Maybe it comes with a full-time house staff.

We got what was expected. If the players ahead of him on the bench were better he would not be the subject of bizarre fascination and criticism on this board. Every team has a 13th or 14th player on it. He was ours.

Soon enough someone will do a return on investment analysis on how many wins teams are getting for their money. As we know from pro sports not everyone spends it wisely.

Pretty sure Battle not in the limited options category. Garcia was for sure.

He’ll give them ten to fifteen minutes a game of rim protecting in that league and allow the guards to put more pressure on the opponent perimeter players. Good pick up for Canyon and nice landing spot for Evans.

I’ve resisted putting MPLS on ignore so I can check in on the one in ten posts he makes that contributes something rational and helpful to the board. Pilgrim has been in the auto delete pile for quite some time. It’s easy to scroll through mpls pissing matches without reading or participating.

Vintage falling on a styrofoam sword.

Tampering isn't good, but to survive this game, all programs need to have their eyes open to possibilities long before the portal window opens. No coach with any common sense is going to starting at zero at the end of the season. They need to know who they can target and be ready to recruit as...

He’s serviceable but playing the point doesn’t maximize his strengths as an effective catch and shoot guy. The more he handles the ball the less effective he was shooting. Hopefully, Asuma can run the point right away. No other options yet.

I don’t know much but I do know the Gillis situation at Purdue was a matter of roster space. He was going into 5th year and with incoming players, no room in the inn. Wasn’t a rush for money by him.

I think a majority of people believe that the NCAA is an entity unto itself. Thus the bureaucracy is blamed for the mess because it’s easier to grasp if all the blame is in one place. The greater problem is no leadership among the member institutions to bring some semblance of education back...

Al, Herb Carneal, and Ray Christensen define my youth and probably collectively kept me out of a lot trouble. Way worse things could be done staying up after bed time than listening to the North Stars play the Kings. Few people have no enemies. All I heard about Al is he was one of them. RIP.

Time a modern version of Kennesaw Mountain Landis!

Of course not, but smart administrators figured out thirty years ago that giving sport’s importance grows affinity for the school and raises money for things other than sports too. Wisconsin is a good example. Lots of universities in the south have upgraded on the back of sports programs giving...

The situation smells of getting chased out of a scholarship because the team didn’t want to invest in rehabilitation. They might with a better player. Good example of the dark side of zero commitment environment. Some guy from the Twin Cities suburbs gets life changing cash while a kid from...
