Re: transfer portal 2024

So I posted on 12/4 a question regarding Kayron Lynch Adams declaring for the draft. My speculative question was could KLA decide to withdraw from the NFL draft if he didn’t like his projections and then be eligible to return to UMass or enter the portal. I was told by a few of you he could not do ...

Re: What Good/Great Player in UMass History Do You Believe Deserves More Acknowledgement?

Doug Grutchfield! He is in our HOF, and I've mentioned him several times here over the years, but it's hard to have a discussion when no more than five here have seen him play. :)

Re: Game 13, 2023-24: Duquesne (1/3)

I was going to post last night about the Dukes quitting on their coach when our effort didn't let them accomplish anything they had presumably worked on, but thought better of it. Now we have this from a post on their board: "Coach eluded to the fact that players were unhappy with their playing...

Re: Game 13, 2023-24: Duquesne (1/3)

^ Agree with you about Josh and A-10 centers. One tidbit that impressed me: When we were playing small with both Cohen and Cross out, a couple of times we actually increased the lead. That was nice to see. Three guard sets have been run often over decades of our hoops, and now we know we can get it ...

Re: 2023-24 Season

I watched the fourth period. It was nice to see how under control they were as Dayton tried to cut into the lead. After years of short or no bench, it is nice to see ten play and nine score. Kristin Williams has settled in firmly keeping things under control.

^ Matty V reports that Dans will rejoin UMass "later this month." I hope that is not the case.

Even though the event is not over, he has been named "a Player of the Tournament."

Re: World Juniors

Decreases chances for Hrabal, as his team will keep playing, but increases chances for Dans, as Latvia is done. Correct?

Re: Conference Realignment

If this has not been mentioned: There are multiple instances where teams have not been allowed to participate in conference playoffs immediately upon announcing they were leaving. Announcing now would injure our winter and spring teams.
