Re: Portal

If we simply accumulate enough NIL money to keep the high school players that we recruit when they get good enough to jump in the portal, I think we will be fine. In fact, the high school talent pool could be even more productive for us given that so many other programs are almost exclusively playin...

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

The latest interview I saw posted w Coval left me with the distinct impression that his playing status for next year is now a toss up. We shall see.

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

Given how the game has evolved in recent years, I don’t think a mid-major like Davidson can really be competitive relying on a point guard who only offers up good defense and quality ball distribution. The disappointing results over the past two seasons suggests to me that all our guards, and wings,...

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

According to Warlick’s high school coach, he is the ultimate team player whose only goal is winning. Warlick, who is known for his relentless intensity and physicality, led his team to back-to-back state titles. He sounds like a perfect fit for Davidson.

Re: Portal

I know one thing for sure. To get back into consistent A-10 contention, we need more upperclassmen like Aldridge, Gudmundsson, Gibbs, and Brajkovic. Those guys were flat out winners. TCC.

Re: Portal

The Belk Report on Twitter/X reporting that Colgate portal guard Braeden Smith, who we have apparently been pursuing, is leaning toward Gonzaga. Can’t say I’m surprised. He’s from Washington state.

Re: Portal

Broadway Joe was paid a $400,000 signing bonus coming out of Alabama, roughly $2 million or so in today’s money. Unlike the $2 million the University of Washington apparently just coughed up for some one-and-done mercenary I’ve never heard of, I believe Namath’s bonus was a veritable bargain.

Re: Portal

Obscene for sure, and downright disgusting. Part of the reason I’ve had literally zero interest in the NBA and NFL for years now. Go Cats!

Re: Portal

Very interesting and honest commentary from Calipari. I don’t think I’d bet against the guy. He has something to prove. For those that don’t know, he played point guard at UNC-W, before transferring to Clarion.

Re: Battle for Atlantis

Our chances may hinge on whether or not we sign an experienced portal point guard who can both shoot and dish. That said, I'm worried.

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

Based on several recent anecdotes, I don’t get the impression we are pulling big levers in the NIL space.

Re: 2024–2025 Davidson MBB Scholarship Players

Well, we sure need him to contribute. I suspect he’ll be much improved.
