Re: Money talks

If we lose three games in the MAC season, lose three games OOC, and lose in the MAC final, do we still get an invite to the Big Dance? All depends on what the OOC looks like……if we raise the bar high enough and win so high level OOC games and lose only high level the NET may still be high enough. I...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Good first step would be ending the transfer portal and bring back the 1 year sit out rule if you transfer to another D1 school as an undergrad. That will cut down a lot on the school hopping and bring a bit of stability back to all of college hoops. You can still transfer but you have some cost ha...

Re: KAEO Keon Thompson

I think this is a mistake for Keon as he clearly is more of a system player as he can’t shoot and probably will never be a shooter based on how he shoots. . Like many players who left last year. I think you will see Keon regress and hurt his chances to play pro ball somewhere down the road. He was ...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

What if it suddenly became OK for a player to bet on his own team? Should somebody (the old guys) yell about that, or just accept it as "the way things are today"? Just because a thing is happening doesn't make it right. I probably won't be around to see how this all turns out, but my com...

Coach can’t be involved directly. I’m sure Pat knows who to prioritize. It would be awkward for the coach to be involved. Once the players unionize it will hopefully become a cleaner process.

Re: KAEO Keon Thompson

no doubt Keon was better than Curry this year but you could tell as the season went on Curry could be an elite scorer - Keon is very limited offensively - that shot will never be good. I love Keon - I love his toughness, love the way he takes it to the hoop but he just doesn't do it consistently en...

Re: KAEO Keon Thompson

Frank seems, for the most part, to play guys who do what he asks as long as they are producing. Isn't this true always? Can you give an example of a coach that continues to play athletes that go out and do what they want, regardless of the coaches instructions, and don't produce? Coaches that don’t...

Re: KAEO Daniel Hankins-Sanford

That's awesome, I love DHS's game and think he can be a real breakout star. We obviously don't know the details, but hopefully we don't see an RJ Luis type situation with Hankins-Sanford. The word is that he and Jaylen Curry are close friends, does this maybe indicate that Curry is returning...? DH...

Re: KAEO Keon Thompson

I'm assuming Thompson and Martin had an end of season conversation and Thompson didn't like what he was told. I’m sure Frank doesn’t want to see him go. Frank also likely told him the other guards produce more. Jayden, Jaylen, and Rahsool all ahead of Keon and incoming freshmen....Keon would need t...

Re: Conference Realignment

Like the foreword thinking! I imagine a few people here don’t buy green bananas 😁 This may even go further.. 3 super conferences of 24 teams. Forget where we have been and where we are now and look to what we should and will become.. as the 25th ranked Public School that plays FBS and being in the ...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

Essential it's become one and done and look for the better bigger deal. Even all the pundits are saying this is the new landscape. Find older players in the portal to compliment the freshmen. Every year a new team. Each season having to gel and become cohesive. This is not sustainable. At our level...

Re: 2024-25 Season

It looks like we need to start over with this thread as it looks like we will have a much different team than what we were expecting. Get used to UMass fans as the NIL will continue to decimate our program as the end isn’t near! Your sky is falling schtick isn't based in reality. UMass used the por...

Article about Cohen with some quotes below. "About 30–40 colleges have contacted me, and the four majors are the ones recruiting me," Cohen said on Monday evening. "That’s where I am. I'm not (leaning towards a) geographic preference, but rather what sets me up best for after college...

Re: UMass transfer portal news - 2024

" I didn't think leaving was an option" is an odd statement. As well as it not working at UMass. Sounds like a money thing, not a basketball thing. Sounds like money, but don’t forget Damjanac is coming and Frank said his game resembles Cohen’s. So, Cross🤞🏻, DHS 🤞🏻, Mason and Damjanac mig...
