Is there any such thing as a recruiting strategy anymore other than have more NIL $$ than other teams in your conference?? So going to the MAC with a bigger NIL and kicking ass is actually a strategy I'm not sure if we have one, but yes, you can have a recruiting strategy that's more than just &quo...

That's not a recruiting strategy.

Just like UMass couldn't compete with P6s before NIL, they can't now. Frank needs to figure out a strategy with the resources that he does have, it's why he gets paid $1.7M a year.

Seems odd that your starting pg would be pushed out by your coach, even if Curry appeared poised to get increased minutes. Keon brought a lot to that guard rotation, and it'll be tough to replace it. And maybe Keon's dad pushed him to transfer out like OFFSeason said, but that doesn't really jive w...

^ Did they not say that all decisions regarding which players the collective should work with comes from the coaching staff?

We need a few things, and at this point I’m not convinced we’re getting any of the staff’s first choices.

I’m now starting to get nervous.

^ pretty sure this was answered in one of his previous posts where he said roster construction is left entirely to the coaching staff… so it sounds like it was their decision.

Just my opinion, thank you Jackson. College basketball used to have mega stars that were associated with their schools because most would stay 3-4 years and there was limited transferring between D1 schools, most were grad transfers. It just doesn’t seem that way anymore. Something is definitely lo...

That’s what I use to gauge a product.

Quann might not enjoy it, but he's just 1 of millions. One of the few ways that you can somewhat gauge that across all of CBB is tv ratings, which are up.

What are you using to gauge that?

I came across this earlier, Dana Dingle is quoted. https://x.com/skinshoops86/status/1784179938716750021?s=61&t=ycZjpMQrl2VSJpm81We6mA The quote that interested me in there was that HS players are essentially planning to transfer from midmajor to P6 now. Those are kids who used to go straight t...

If it is a shot at Frank, that's gotta be one of the fastest 180's I've ever seen. And not just because he transferred, that's the norm. But being a "Frank guy" and being in Frank's corner vocally to this is something.... Considering his mother and Frank’s wife were together often and Dav...

I like Majok but he needs another year or more to be useful. Could probably move down to NEC or AE and get floor time and develop faster. This was predictable last year when he committed to UMass and moved from the 2024 class to the 2023 class. Cohen is probably the only bright spot when it comes t...

Are there any rules that would prevent Frank Martin (or any coaches for that matter) from making $ donations to the Mass Collective (or another NIL collective)?
