Re: 2024-25 Schedule

I like playing former SoCon teams ETSU and VMI. I wish we could play former SoCon teams that were closer to Charlotte-App St, Wofford, UNC-G. Elon. Atlantic 10 makes it hard to do road trips, with the exception of Richmond schools (not easy there, either) so a couple of drivable non-conf games would...

Re: Trivia, but not trivial

As City Cat will often point out, we haven't had a white scholarship player from an NC public high school in 50 years. We tried hard to get Will Johnson, Jackson Simmons (who walked on at UNC, highly irking Bob McKillop) and Hunter Tyson. We just recently lost out on Colt Langdon. There are probably...

Re: EVY FOR THE BRONZE!

I don't think the Red Bull money could be characterized as NIL, since she doesn't compete in a varsity sport.

And she has total immunity from the NCAA.

Re: Jayden Smith - Olympic Trials Monday the 24th

Very, very impressive. Tied for third in his heat. Saw the replay today. He hung fairly close to the top two, Crittendon and Tench, both members of world championship teams *I believe* He ran 13.37. 13.60 would have gotten him in the semifinals. So he qualified easily. He hit the second hurdle prett...

Re: Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

Well I'm not worried about Drexel or USD, whether that's San Diego or South Dakota.

Re: Portal

Braeden Smith to Gonzaga.
He's going to redshirt next year.

This was my one hope for us being an upper tier A10 team next year. Maybe I'll be wrong; hope so.

Re: Portal

I think it is a lock that Brizzi would have started next season, given what we have.

We may get a transfer who will start, and-if we do-you have to take into consideration whether we would have gotten that transfer if Brizzi were still here.

Longwood is quite a comedown from Villanova.

Re: Clunie Email re NIL

Or we could not play the game and have D3 athletics. We easily could have gone there. As for me, I like being an alum/fan of a small, academically rigorous school that plays D1 basketball in a really good conference. Makes us unique. And by that a mean in a category of one. Wake Forest is small, but...

Re: Portal

From the Field of 68: More than 1,600 men’s college basketball players have entered the transfer portal since it opened on March 17. It closes for undergraduates on May 1. A rough estimate means that about 35%-40% of players are in the portal. Get used to it. The NCAA D-I Council approved changes to...

Re: Portal

I didn't know you lived in Manhattan, or on a base near Manhattan (Ft. Riley?) Was Rolando Blackman on that team? I think he made a shot that brought down a heavy favorite (Oregon St, maybe) in the 1981 Tourney. I hope they weren't wearing two tone purple, as they did for a while in the mid 70s, I t...

Re: Portal

There was a story in The Athletic about FB players who'd been to three schools, with the focus being on which school the player felt ultimate loyalty to. One of the players they talked to was Chase Brice, who played QB for Clemson, Duke and App St. They also talked to a player who spent most of his ...

Re: Portal

Nah, let's be different.

It doesn't seem to hurt Purdue.

Maybe bring back a Maloy/Cook/Kroll era jersey.
