^ 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. No, not really. It wasn’t really meaningfully answered. Deliberately vague as far as I am concerned. But beyond the obvious...

It’s all about the 1000% commitment!

We dont send out minutes. But I spend a few hours a week chatting with members on the phone, especially this time of year, so feel free to reach out anytime 413-687-5232. Thanks. Appreciate it. As Director, it’s a good thing to get yourself out there. Respect that. But it’d be important for some of...

^ I know Wisconsin has been mentioned and I think he’s visiting, but no shortage of people in Madison seem to think they lack adequate NIL coin in general for the program. One of their starters went to Kansas and another to Louisville, but evidently neither commanded off the chart coin. College hoop...

The meddling, self-promoting parent shit is the absolute worst. Tre’s mother was this to an extreme. For her part, Robert’s mom appeared to be all about Frank, UMass and the A10… until she wasn’t. Then, Davis was gone and the portal was all about rights and a fight against exploitation based on HER ...

^ Fascinating. I would be interested to hear more about that. I am a member but was not present for the meeting where that was discussed. Sounds like you missed a fairly consequential meeting. As a collective member, do you get minutes or any type of summary/recap? We dont send out minutes. But I s...

I'll have my secretary fax them over to you before end of business today. Thanks!! Love that you are on top of this, BUT who uses a fax anymore? :lol: In all seriousness, do members vote on these things? We’re all asked to contribute but the “benefits” or roles and responsibilities aren’t always as...

In terms of roster construction, priorities are communicated to us and we act upon them, we do not and would not want input on roster construction. That is up to the coaches.

Good to know. Thanks for responding.

With Keon specifically - he was in fact not a good fit. This was shared in a meeting as well, and we wish him the best going forward. Could you expand on that please? Not a good fit for who? Same question. “Not a good fit” is so very head scratching. Frank was very vocal and all over how crucial he...

Cool. I run a 501c3 and am glad the Collective can play a role in helping steer donations to a good cause. It perhaps also brings up a few general questions about the mission and overall structure of the collective that I raised elsewhere. Sharing here again. Thanks. This is just plain awful. Like E...

This is just plain awful. Like Eldon said they need to make these kids sign a contract for x amount of seasons. Only way to slow down this mess. We've essentially done that with payment schedules, clawbacks, etc and will continue to trend that way and keep a pulse on the changes. On the other side ...

We had 6 win talent last year… That’s a good one. “6 win talent.” And, yet, we finished 3-9. 1-11 the previous year, 1-11 in 2021… Maybe as college sports continues its downward spiral into free agency and the lowest possible program standard of success, it can base “bowl eligibility” on “win talen...

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...
