  1. So we exchange 9 for 20. Meh. Would have been nice to get Dairy Queen though.
  2. The two years I was in B-town were the nadir of both the Mike Davis and Gerry DiNardo eras. I’m damn grateful we had two soccer national championships to celebrate, although much to the relief of IUPD, neither of those involved tear gas or the removal of light poles. Dammit.
  3. Those three make sense. Kelley, Mendoza and Kellogg are all good to really f’king good b-schools.
  4. That’s a fair statement to make anytime there’s a coaching change.
  5. Leal used part of one year’s NIL money to pay off his sister’s entire student loan balance.
  6. “Teenader” in the URL ”Jernalism” at its finest 🙄
  7. UGonna gonna come back to school, looks like.
  8. Who knows what the NIL landscape is going to look like in 2 years, let alone 10?
  9. I think when people say "shooter", they mean "3 point shooter". Most do anyway.
  10. Oh I'd say everyone this offseason thought that shooters would ward off the impending apocalypse. I would rather have 4 guys on the roster that were low-mid 30s on volume than 2 guys close to 40. Purdue's outside game was based around having 3-4 other guys on the floor that were a reliable threat to hit a 3. Their highest volume shooter was Jones, and he shot 35%, not 40. We had MM. Now, Carlyle fits the same mold (32% on decent volume), Rice shot pretty well until he hit the wall, Goode should be an ideal fit. That moves us from one to three, plus a pretty sure. Cupps and Reneau both shot at a decent percentage on limited volume, so those are a few wild cards. Oh, and although Galloway isn't the best 3 point shooter....he's not afraid to throw them up there. 😂
  11. In related news WalMart has announced a $1M annual recurring donation to Arkansas athletics. This partnership will fund the annual budget for John Calipari's hair gel.
  12. I don't expect to totally rebuild every year. But unless you're looking at a sure-fire hit, if you're going to go with a kid's upside, why not focus on freshmen that enter the portal? True, they'd only have 3 years of eligibility vs 4, but you'd also have at least some actual knowledge of how their game translates at the college level. Not every kid that enters the portal is going to be a one-year mercenary, and we just landed a backcourt of two sophomores that could potentially play multiple years.
  13. This is strange to say, but....aside from top 25 level high school prospects, I'm not really that worried about it. Why take a chance on a kid out of high school when you could get a proven player from the portal?
  14. I'd say almost equally as important in today's game. If you're prone to a bad TO or two but are a lights out shooter, you'll see the floor.
  15. And if it's a leased aircraft, odds are, the university is paying for X flight hours per month anyway, regardless if they're used or not.
  16. So long as it doesn't have to be with Tampa....Greg Vaughn.
