Re: KAEO Robert Davis Jr

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....

Re: KAEO Matt Cross

I will be rooting for him.. he gave us two good years and that says a lot these days. I wish I could say this is hyperbole, but it's not. If a player gives you 2, you have to say thank you and move on in today's landscape. Same with Keon. Except I think Keon is still probably better suited here alo...

ODU, notorious for making pros. No disrespect to Kent Bazemore.

Re: KAEO Matt Cross

I know I'm splitting hairs here but Wisconsin just lost Storr and Hepburn. I don't know how much of a lock they would be, even with Cross, in that conference.

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

I would gladly take BABC teammates TJ Power and Reid Ducharme for 1-2 years and let them use UMass as a stepping stone to a big bag elsewhere. 100% and that is the reality we live in now as Umass fans. We can take the guys from the lower conferences who do well and use them for 1-2 years at the end...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

I was looking forward to seeing Mason play more. Oh, well. I don't understand why people think him transferring is not a surprise. Why would the staff and player spend time building a relationship and investing in each other for him to play a semester as a late addition freshman, then bolt? Whateve...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

If we get Matt back, will we have any NIL money left over? I would hope so. Blowing all of the NIL money on Cross, Diggins, Ndjigue, DHS, and Curry would be a huge error in my opinion. Those 5 would need to show meaningful improvement in 2024-24 vs 2023-24, otherwise I fear the team would take a st...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

All 5 Indiana State starters have entered the portal. I'm guessing some or all end up at SLU and SLU will be much improved. Frankly, we could use a couple of them. I know there is recent track record of a lot of guys following their coach where he goes now that they don't have to sit out a year, bu...

Re: KAEO: John Calipari

They didn't win a title, but they just made back to back elite 8's and a sweet 16 before this year. I'd consider that nationally relevant. They also had high expectations this year and beat Duke at home in the ACC/SEC challenge before bottoming out. I don't think the expectation is to win a title li...

Northwest Arkansas is a beautiful place... I have some family there and visited for a wedding. Definitely a nice area. Can confirm. My wife's cousin graduated from there 2 years ago and she got a bunch of her family to get 2 houses down there to celebrate and then take the 3 hour ride north to KC f...
