Ummm ... is there a reason to believe that's even an option?

I mean, I'd also be happy if we hired Phil Jackson while we're at it, but...

GCU won their conference championship tournament finals game by 18 points. They received a 14 seed and led Gonzaga most of the first half and played pretty well despite being out-manned. xCBD has been to the post-season every season with teams outside of Vanderbilt (except last year but GCU was sti...

The trade for kyrie is what sank the mavericks. I was not in favor of the Kyrie trade, and I hated losing Finney-Smith. However, the addition of Kyrie is not the problem. There were some close losses after the trade because neither Kyrie nor Luka would step up and take the last shot (time ran out b...

I think this was a joke, but exactly why does 4 years of college coacing that produced 2 NIT bids and 0 NCAA bids get an NBA offer?

I don't see this right now.

https://www.theonion.com/ncaa-awards-title-to-duke-in-final-upset-of-march-madne-1850294586 I especially like the last line: "Following the game, the NCAA unveiled restrictions that would prevent all but the 10 most popular teams nationally from recruiting new players for next season." Got...

Somebody write down this date. Jason and I agree on something. :o :shock: We agree on a lot of things. You just get mad and call names when we disagree. [/quote] I know you two have a history, but that was antagonizing instead of deescalating Jason, for a comment that really didn't attack you at all.

Last day to enter the portal I assume you mean?

And I assume players within the portal can be offered/recruited past that?

Why should players have restrictions placed upon them when transferring? I ask that because there are so few places in life in this country where this level of restriction is placed upon a person's ability to dictate what they do with their life. And it is not lost on me that the folks in charge (t...

Also, why should the players be restricted from transferring? Just because they play sports??? That just doesn't strike me as a good enough reason. I'm trying to understand the harm, specifically to the conference's TV contracts because those are the only things that move the needle. No athlete is ...

I keep thinking that managing immature egos may be Stackhouse's Achilles heel. As a player he was a consummate "professional" in the true sense of the word. As a G-league coach he would have been working with players who were a few years older, and who had been taught the hard way that th...

Yes ... I don't know that there is any connection to Vandy at the moment, but he would be about the best Liam replacement we could hope to find.

Embarrassed to admit it, but here it is:

I read the subject from the main forum and though "Why do I care who Stack voted for in the Coach of the Year ballot?"

I get it now. Just takes me a litle while to get up to speed sometimes.

A freshman guard at Dayton that averaged less than 6ppg just turned pro...AND hired an agent. So, he can't come back to college ball, thus since the kid is from Mongolia (not a joke), maybe riding the bus in the G-league is a dream come true. That's where he will end up at least for a few years. Ke...

Very few should go into serious debt due to school or for the sake of a prestigious school name, as college debt can be crushing. Here's an example from this past year that I read, “I graduated in 1992 with $14,000 in loans. My balance is now up to $74,000 because of deferments and only paying the ...

Let's call it what it is. Dumpster Fire. Nope. Just the new normal. We still have Smith, Lewis, Dort, Manjon, and Lawrence coming back (Lawrence will return from his brief NBA fling). While I'd rather have Wright as a part of it, I can live with that starting lineup. We have 3 freshman coming in. A...

Didn't see that one coming. Makes the Noah Shelby transfer all the more puzzling. Nah. Shelby was done and out the door. He was a top 100(ish) recruit considered a good get and probably didn't play 40 minutes the entire season. Whether or not that usage was deserved. Whether this is on Shelby or on...

So we’re looking at: Ansong gone Robbins gone Shelby gone Dia gone Stute gone Wright gone Lawrence maintaining eligibility (hopefully back for us) With three incoming freshmen Sadly, this is the new normal in college ball. We are losing ... 2 productive starters, 1 starter that had fallen out of fa...

Oof. That puts a dent in the plans for next year.

Especially with Dia gone.

Of course, one more slot for us to bring a transfer in...

Good for him.

Good player. Very valuable to our team.

Kinda think the NBA will politely convince him to go back to Vandy next year..

Why compare W/L records when this something the NET specifically is not doing? Because, flat out, this is something that the NET *should* be doing if the committee is going to use it as a selection criteria. I understand the math. I understand the statistics. I understand the inherent difficulties ...
