I don’t think NMs behavior will contaminate other programs I think it’s isolated to being an NM thing. Giving polished speeches at the Rotary Club ( while impressive ) shouldn’t give you a free pass to put your own ambitions over everything else in the baseball program. I didnt see U6 ripping through players at this frantic pace on their way to the top of the college baseball world.
If Mitch doesn't hurry up and fire Mingione, we may not have enough players remaining to field a damn team next season.
I’m guessing Mingiones job is very secure and he is cutting all these players going all in on the transfer portal with as much scholorship money he can free up from these cuts. You know, thats how U6 and Vandy does it don’t they ?
People have an interest in baseball that’s not being reciprocated by UK.
Know a guy that has season tickets for fb, vb, sb, baseball WBB for several years and not a large Kfund donor and wanted the same seats he had right behind HP and couldn't get them. He went round and round with them.
I think he regrets sinking cash into a new contract and the buy-out is prohibitive for him and would be an admission that he acted too quickly and maybe impulsively (could be the wrong word here). For a school that has really only recently invested in baseball, eating that money might be too much for him. I think he's looking at the short-sighted losses and not the long-term losses that leaving NM might lead to in the future. Just my take could be wrong of course.
It’s not much money. $800,000 is pocket change for our athletic department
People who are convinced this is true are a special bunch.
That Elzy thing had to be one of the stupidest things an AD could possibly have done. That would be something worthy of a comedy show that could not be serious. Even his staunchest supporters would have to admit that being as low IQ as your are going to get in an AD job. I just look at the job the man does and have no underlying personal feelings about him as a person off the court. I know he can't be right on every hire. But at the same time don't expect a man in his position to do what he has done in the womens basketball and baseball programs. Have to be smarter than that.
She has been a mediocre recruiter for years. The lack of respect her players showed her this year showed it all. Laughing and not playing hard a lot of the time. Guess you was OK with that. Maybe the new HOF coach can help her be decent but that should be the head coach had Barnhart not made his bonehead mistake. Maybe all the sudden she becomes a great recruiter and her players start playing for her with respect. But what is the chances of that?
Jim Host...Keith Madison ...Doug Flynn for starters.
Stop what? What's to say some didn't come back just to have a good ole time like they had all season not being held accountable to bust it on the court at all times. Without discipline their success will be minimum of what they could do under a coach they truly respect. Like I said, maybe the HOF coach will have enough influence to help them have a decent year. But having to work under Elzy will definitely take a lot of that influence away.
NVM. On 4th point, stoops gets an extension after 7 wins. I thought it was eliminated on his most recent contract
We can only hope. they were going to do it yesterday but mitch did not want to steal the spotlight from coach k , baffert and the celtics
