If you're kicking one mississippi school out, it's them. 4D chess by our admin to suck to make us more desirable to have than OM in a future conference. Free win + no baggage + same TV footprint and market.
True, but wouldn't the money be basically the same whether we're good or bad?Quote:

So basically a good roster costs 8-10 million now in basketball
The Sun Belt player of the year Tayton Conerway is on campus today. 6'3" big gaurd who is a really good defender. He played at Troy, averaged 14ppg 5rpg 5apg 3 steals. He fits Jans style because of his hard nosed defense and toughness. Simillar to Cam Matthews he fills the stat sheet up and does a little bit of everything including running as a true PG but is listed as a Combo gaurd. Definitely a Jans type player
The Harlem Globetrotters needed the Washington Generals or whatever they were called. Yeah, we'll hang around, that is way SEC has treated us for decades.Quote:

His constant 3 pt % decline is concerning and going to drive folks on here mad. He needs to be the "true point with great defense" next to Hubbard.Quote:

Who are we looking at getting to round out the roster? I don't think Connerway - Hubbard - Jones - Murphy - Ballard is a winning starting lineup if our next and only move is to bring murphy back.
I don?t think this would happen, but I?ve brought this up before and think our administration has done an awful job of not leaning into this. It shouldn?t even be an official campaign or anything but our AD, presidents, and admin should occasionally be making those gibes and talking about how we are a Ulysses Grant presidential library while they hang nooses on James Meredith statue. Trash ass school and we don?t even lean into it.Quote:

Hubbard shot 205 more times than the next nearest player, Murphy. If we try to run the same type offense around him in the next season, it will be a repeat of the season just finished. We need to find more shooters that can score and run a balanced attack on offense.Quote:

Derrion Reid from Bama just got in the portal. I know we were on him in high school. He is a former 5 star. Any chance?
He'd be a depth piece next year. His best bet is getting some run with a mid major and using consistent time to flash better potential. But he showed nothing of being a good role player this year. Not worth the price tag for us likely.Quote:

Heard we were willing to go about 1.5 for him but after that it was "c'ya"Quote:

Yes. But I know taxes are already taken out for our guys. Charlie and his team take care of them on that side. They set them up with tax guys and advisors to make sure they're not dodging taxes.Quote:

Good deal. I couldn't imagine being blind sided by 1 million paid 1099Quote:

I have a feeling we will look back in 5-10 years at this saga and see that it was the first step towards players being under contract.Quote:

Football and baseball have a LOT more variables and a larger number of players involved so it won't be quite as bad. But it's going to be where the basketball money goes nuts because one or two players in basketball can turn an entire team into a major contender.Quote:

It?s been one of those two since the get go. Once he entered it was over (for state), regardless of what some would say. Is what it is.Quote:
