guy that is decently connected at WVU thinks its IU. Iowa cant get to his NIL request.
Be interesting what McCollum does. He is close to WVU's AD, they worked together at NWMO, or does he stay home at Iowa.

I am thinking about being a mormon so I can support BYU baseball.
Maybe then you’ll be able to do more than just play basketball with the neighbors wife!
If I'm IU, with the apparent options available, I'm taking McCollum all day. While obviously not the splashy hire they were originally hopeful for, dude is very clearly a basketball genius.
4 D2 Nattys & has won his conference 12 years in a row, pretty incredible.

-If we don't get Yaxel there are a couple of good options for the 4 in the portal.
-Austin Rapp from Portland (WCC Freshman of the Year); averaged 14/7/3 and shot a ton of 3s. Was 82/236 (35%). He had more 3 attempts than anyone on our roster and more makes than anyone but Brea. Good passer so we could initiate some offense through him. Decent shot blocker too and is 6-10.
-Reed Bailey from Davidson; a junior who averaged 19/6/4. He could initiate the offense like Amari as well but he doesn't shoot a ton of 3s (good percentage though/42%) but isn't very good defensively.

I'd take McCollum over DeVries, but not by much. Both of them are simply winners.
Having said that, the meltdown we'll see from IU fans if DD is the guy (or McCollum, for that matter) is gonna be fun. They always do this to themselves...convincing themselves that they're gonna be able to snag Brad Stevens, or Scott Drew, or some other elite-level coach from a high major or NBA job.
But the truth is, that just doesn't happen that much anymore.
- Louisville got Winthrop's coach
- Ours came from BYU
- Michigan's came from FAU
- Iowa State's came from UNLV
- Florida's came from San Francisco
- UConn's came from Rhode Island
- Texas Tech's came from North Texas
- Alabama's came from Buffalo
Because of salary increases and NIL, coaches just aren't as tempted to jump from one P4 job to another unless it's a huge step up. So honestly, DeVries might be the best they can reasonably do. They won't accept that, however. And that'll be the fun part to watch.

obi agbim otega oweh is what the undertaker used to say when he would sacrifice someone into the ministry of darkness
Quinn Buckner thinking Scott May, Kent Benson or Al Skinner.
Mom texted me this pic last night asking who the player was after her sister had posted this the picture on Facebook…pretty damn cool.
Brea seems to have embraced his time here as much as anyone in awhile - you can see it every time he speaks. Special kid 🙂

Knock, knock: Koby Brea surprised one of his biggest fans at her doorstep
Koby Brea's surprise visit shocked one of his biggest fans. "There are no words!"
Let him come along at his own pace. Don't worry about some on here, which is why I made it a point twice that I wasn't talking shit about your son. I figured he was scared to drive, but some kids now days are into games and other stuff so much, they put it off. My son, who is autistic, was very open and anxious to drive, was actually a pretty damn good go- kart racer. He got T-boned in a go- kart, has not drove one after that and it affected his desire to drive an automobile. Offer him encouragement, but do not force it, he will come around at his peril.
I can tell you one thing, if we're up 20 in the 2nd half, I don't want to see Butler or Carr playing. Let Noah and Perry get the experience while keeping us healthy, IMO.
Well a little back story might have been nice. You made it sound like something completely different in regards to kids these days not taking the initiative to learn how to drive. So, i apologize about the crack towards your kid, but I won’t EAD.
My children warned me that the Wingstop demand would be insane. Clearly they knew something I didn’t. Maybe the Rizzler told them?
Cal is at the best spot for him in all of college basketball.
BIG money donors, but football enough to be happy with his ways, and by ways I mean winning enough to be talked about but not winning when it matters.
I would cheer for the actual Aztecs over UNC tbh
Anyone read this yet?

TBH, I’m waiting on the Cliff notes.
First four should be last 8 at large teams. Kinda BS to win your conference and not really be “in” the Big Dance.

We MUST beat Troy. Have to. If we lose, all the good Pope has done is vanquished. My biggest fear is becoming Indiana...the fans still care but nobody else does. This NCAAT is more about staying relevant than it is winning the thing. I'm pretty sure Pope is the guy but it's time to knuckle tf up.
Also - F Tommy G. Are you still some kind of lobbyist or did Elon can your pathetic ass? Loser.

Off to a good start. 🏀🏀🏀🏀
San Diego State is atrocious. My lord.
So, I had a long conversation about this with some co-workers. A few were NC-State fans/grads too. Its a weird thing, but they seem almost "free" from the constant effing stress and disappointment of their teams. They don't plan things around their team like we do things with UK. I work with a ton of UT football fans (and basketball), and by and large, people from other states/schools that aren't big into either football or basketball generally look at us like we're off our rocker.
There have been times I wish I grew up in that situation when a random SEC game gives me a damn seething aneurysm, but then I remember how much joy and just straight up shit-talking that being a UK grad and fan has brought me and have no regrets. My wife is from SF by way of LA and she doesn't get it at all even with UCLA, Lakers, Giants, Niners, etc all in the area...none of her family is big into it except one of her brothers that lives and breaths SF Giants baseball.
I mean being a UK football fan is no picnic.
Anyone else have teens in the middle of Dart Wars right now? My wife almost got shot (with a nerf) last night taking out the garbage because the teens staking out my house thought she was my daughter. I told her to take it as a compliment.
