Re: 2024 Recruiting

I’m usually in favor of second chances and if it was a fight or altercation I’d be fine with that being a last chance warning from UMass. The abuse towards a girl and allegation he previously threatened her with a gun is very concerning. Points to a more serious character issue than some testosteron...

Re: 2023-24 Schedule

Looks like a very favorable schedule. I wouldn't expect any of the home and home opponents to be a top team.

Re: KAEO Dyondre Dominguez

This is what Dyondre's dad said when he announced he was transferring: https://twitter.com/JoseDombos35/status/1638198434124427268 I just want to clarify some things. Graduating from Umass was the plan when coach Martin got there, but as you guys know college basketball has changed there’s opportun...

Re: KAEO Dyondre Dominguez

Don't think DD left for NIL $. My 100% uninformed assumption is Frank had issues with DD last year and likely didn't want him on the roster anymore because of culture fit. His dad saying he was leaving for what's best for his family or whatever he said was just saving face and trying to downplay red...

Re: 2023 Recruiting

I don't think UMass is one of the worst fan bases in the country, unless we're gauging it by the ratio of vocal/angry Twitter fans vs. butts in seats. The team has been AWFUL pushing nearly a decade now and yet an absolutely raucous crowd sold out the Harvard game this past season. There's over 350 ...

Re: 2023 Recruiting

My initial thought was he's referencing something to do with the players in the program. I think this because of how Noah and Dyondre's UMass careers both ended weirdly. IDK what happened with Noah's injury, but there was some kind of rift/disagreement going on with him and Frank/staff. He was clear...

Re: 2023-24 Season

I'm thinking Wildens is the key to having success this season and I'm also leaning towards him still not being 100% healthy through the year. Just a lot to ask of a big guy like that to stay healthy coming off double knee issues. Without Wildens I don't think there's a defensive presence in the pain...

Re: 2023 Recruiting

Old offers are kind of meaningless in the portal era but Curry has a lot of talent and is a good pickup. I’m not expecting him to push the team to where we want them to be next year, but you never know. Let’s not forget we already have an even higher rated guard on the team who wasn’t able to make a...

Re: 2023 Recruiting

I see Curry listed at 6’ and 155lbs. Not sure I see a freshmen that size starting for Frank, but I’m not familiar with his game. I’ll be most interested in how all the new guys fit with the coaching staff and the school. Need to start bringing in some guys who want to play for Frank and be at UMass....

Re: KAEO Dyondre Dominguez

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned much is that Frank’s on record about no one on his team playing 35+ minutes a night. Maybe DD wants to play a lot.

He should have played a lot more last season IMO and I won’t begrudge him for moving on. Good luck DD.

Re: 2023 Recruiting

Hopefully adding Cohen helps convince some other guys in the portal to choose UMass.

Re: Return of Derek Kellogg

The players participating in this NIL Throwback Tournament would not have done so if there wasn't reconciliation with DK. Next season is the 10th anniversary of the NCAA Tournament season. It would be a crazy time for DK to leave. Reconciliation with DK? What do you mean? Between who and who? Also,...

Re: Coach Frank Martin

Gotta remember Noah was at Wichita St when that program blew up due to the coach’s treatment of players. Noah also stayed on the bench the whole season at UMass. It does seem like something was going on with him and Frank, but hopefully it was just a personality thing as opposed to something really ...
