He is a dirt bag with a broken moral compass.

And Tom crybaby Izzo. Loser should retire. Rant over

The B1G and the refs allow this crap and we have the disgusting winless product that the conference craps out every tournament. This isn't winning basketball you Wisconsin losers. And for good measure, Purdue has played the same ugly way for a decade.

The heck with it. Let the tampering begin.

Would love to see a NIL push the chips in, figure out how to keep Mtaco, Malik, and Ware together for one more year. Pillage the portal for the 3 best guards in it. Winning big improves stock some doesn't it? Get paid kore than you would as a non drafted or 2nd rounder for one year. Be on a mission. Win. Go first round instead.

Someone said X was day to day. So let's assume he's back soon. What if we win out? There's a chance.

Whatever it takes

So with current rules. A 2nd transfer has to sit out a year or what?

Helped you. IMO = in my opinion. It will help you in the future avoid long ongoing, unnecessary, endless arguments in which neither party's OPINION is changed.

Something clearly happened because he parlayed an 8 year coaching stint into president of basketball operations for the Boston Celtics. He had to have been holding all the chips in his hands.

Would he ever consider a peaceful early retirement for the good of the program?

Jay Wright, "“I think we are gonna go through a couple of years where it feels crazy because of the combination of NIL and the transfer portal,” Wright said. “It’s gonna stay crazy compared to what they were. But I think we’re going to see some benefits to all of that. We’re seeing all these guys staying in college now. You’ve got four things as a player: make money, mature as a person, mature as a player and get an education. There’s positive sides."I do think college basketball is going (to) get better because players stay longer. Therefore, the NBA guys are going to know they can get more finished products and it’s gonna make the NBA a lot better.” Doesn't really sound like he's trashing the scene. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/bigeast/2022/05/17/jay-wright-villanova-transfer-rule-nil/9794688002/

Is it more tainted than shoe boxes of cash, jobs for parents, houses and cars? Jewelry for the dookies. They can spare me the tears. The portal isn't going to be nearly as crazy after the covid super seniors are gone. Unless this unlimited transfer thing really does take effect. But again, the portal should be about roster tweaking, not total rebuilds, though it can be used for that in a pinch.

If our NIL is as solid as reported then like I said, Copy and paste. Let the bag man do bag man things. Wright just needs to put those rings on his fingers when the recruits show up to campus to chat.

But he's perfectly fine still watching a crap ton of games and knowing tons of details about it and making a handsome coin to sit and talk about it all weekend.

Figure out how to poke his ego then. Someone has to take this historic dumpster fire program and rise like a Phoenix out of the ashes. It really shouldn't be that hard. Tom Crean had us at #1 10 years ago. Tom Crean ladies and gentlemen.

It speaks for itself. He will be a thorn in people's side in the future. Hopefully.

I would counter a Brad Stevens or Jay Wright wouldn't have to recruit at IU. Let Hulls and Walsh do the ground work. Let the bag man do bag man things. Wright just needs to put those rings on his fingers when the recruits show up to campus to chat.

I don't blame him. Why would he. He's probably making 2 mil a year now basically on vacation. And he's likely already made about 50 million. Don't know his family situation or legacy goals. 100 million is a lot of money.

If it was true that we were able to offer Stevens 7 and 70 3 years ago then in today's money you give a Jay Wright 7 and 100. Not my money anyway.

I like the energy and effort and the flying around but we need good X to take a bunch of those minutes.

So Cupps played 4 minutes the first time we played. X was back and played great. Cupps got 33 minutes yesterday. 2 points 0 assists 2 rebounds.

X played great and we were all excited. Sigh. Maybe we start catching a break and go on a run.

I was honestly surprised we beat them the first time. OSU has a roster full of talent and athletes. For some odd reason, Holtmann has rarely gotten his OSU teams to be connected. It did take 19 points from Malik in the 2nd half to beat them at home. I appreciate your pregames. They are top notch. I stand by my prediction. We will fold if they hit 2 threes in a row.

If OSU hits 2 threes in a row in the first half we will fold and hit the lockers early.
