After much thought, I have finally figured out Frank's strategy. The plan, in general, is to keep the rest of the A10 on the dark. Frank has reached an agreement with the 3 five-star transfers and Matt to not make any announcements. All practices will be closed, and nobody will know what the roster ...

are college kids allowed to have agents? was this allowed with NIL agreement?

The short answer is yes, with some stipulations.

At least WBB is adding people. She's 6'2 and seems to play primarily near the hoop.

I don't feel nearly as optimistic as I did yesterday.

OK. There's no real news to talk about so how about this pair? With NIL no in full force, maybe the NCAA relents and lets them play. The problem? They will go to the highest bidder. https://www.sportico.com/law/analysis/2024/matt-ryan-bewley-overtime-elite-ineligible-ncaa-chicago-state-1234762482/

^ I don't think he is getting drafted so maybe there's a chance. Cal and Frank are pretty good friends. ESPN previously reported that Brazile was forgoing his two remaining years of collegiate eligibility to pursue an NBA career, but it appears that he is maintaining that eligibility. Brazile announ...

Here's my bold prediction. This kid got recruited over at Arkansas and Cal sends him our way, like he did with Big City several years ago. He was a last minute entry into the portal.

This is disgusting: The Field of 68 @TheFieldOf68 🚨BREAKING🚨 FAU transfer Johnell Davis is expected to sign with John Calipari and the Razorbacks, source told @TheFieldOf68 He has declared for the NBA Draft and his preference is to go pro, but Arkansas offered him a lucrative NIL deal north of $1 mi...

I think he's gone. If he really wanted to stay at UMass, I think he would have decided by now. Staying seems like the security blanket if he can't get a bigger NIL deal. Can't blame him I guess in this climate Floyd, maybe I'm crazily optimistic. I'm starting to think that if he doesn't find a plac...

Deadline is actually a good idea. Gotta move on with setting the roster. Can't be held hostage to waiting There are built in deadlines with admission, acceptance, and NCAA rules. No need for the collective to arbitrarily set new deadlines. Roster decisions are made by the coaching staff, not The Co...

What does any of this crap have to do with the future of Umass basketball? Gyros, sandwiches, lettuce, tomato, lions and tigers Oh My! We haven't got any help from the portal, and you guys are talking about lamb? WTF Sadly, there's nothing to talk about when it comes to basketball. When we learn ab...

My doctor has me on a low carb diet. I grudgingly have to agree with him. Do you have any idea of what I can't eat or drink?
Beer
Pizza
Bagels
Cookies
and much, much more

It's hardly worth getting up in the morning.

Nothing doing for us, but a lot of new entries into the portal today. It's up to 1,950 names. At this point, regardless of what Frank has intimated, I am getting nervous. If we don't get at least 2 or 3 good players this week, nervous will advance to worried. We need a starting center, a backup cent...

^ 77 x 2 is your winner.

More news, and not the good kind. It looks like Ethan Morton is headed to Colorado State. This one doesn't bother me that much as he did nothing in 4 years at Purdue. Highly recruited out of high school, but he never panned out at Purdue. We can do better than him. Of course, right now we have nobod...
