    Koby Brea entered the portal. Please please Coach Hurley

    That would be quite a portal haul. Don't know that it would be a championship roster, but it would be an exciting team to watch.

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley, the Second of His Name, 2.0

    I didn't take it seriously. Now, if Jonathan XV had followed Liam's mom, that would mean something.

    Roumoglou Enters the Portal (Merged)

    We'll see. But shooting is more valued than rebounding, because harder to teach. Not every coach is going to value defense as much as Danny Hurley, and not every team is going to have a roster that can keep AR on the bench. If AR finds a place with the right needs and style, he will play.

    Roumoglou Enters the Portal (Merged)

    He's better than that, he can be a starter and play 25-30 mpg on some A10 teams.

    2024 Recruiting: Nolan Traore

    If they don't have US work visas then they can't be paid by US employers. But, they can be paid by any non-US source. It is not an NCAA rule, it is a US government law.

    I didn't know he went to Syracuse.

    Ballo to Indiana

    "Mike Woodson has big time NIL money and isn't afraid to use it" - I thought the coaches couldn't control NIL money? Sounds like we've moved immediately over to players being paid by the coaches.

    2024 Recruiting: Jordan Derkack (Merrimack Transfer)

    It's good for Rutgers to get him some experience in high DI ball so that when he transfers to us the following year, he'll be ready to play big minutes.

    OT. How good is Duke going to be next year?

    They'll bring in transfer portal players just like we will. Judge the rosters in July.

    2024 Recruiting: Tarris Reed Jr.

    I like this guy a lot. Looks like he has the talent and will flourish with good coaching and a good system.

    2024 Recruiting: Christ Essandoko List (No UConn)

    usually they wait a while, to make it look like the decision might have been made after entering the portal.

    The NCAA is really screwing us by putting Singare in our practice.

    Remind me, is a shot from 35 foot a good shot or a bad shot? I forget.

    2024 Recruiting: Brandon Huntley-Hatfield

    If you'd like to be the object of a bidding war, why wouldn't you let your current team bid?

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    Seems reasonable, but why would the SEC prefer Clemson to FSU? For that matter why Duke to FSU? UNC, UVa, FSU, and Clemson would be a good top 4 for the SEC. I could see the B1G going for ND and UVa, SEC taking their pick of the rest. If travel, contiguity, and academics matter, UVa is better...

    Illinois Post Game Thread

    On the surface it seems stupid to run your offense into the best defender in college basketball, like having your army the enemy's strongest fortifications instead of his weak points. But hey, no one else's game plan has worked either, might as well think out of the box.

    Top 5 Hype for Clingan (Givony)

    He had more than 5 blocks just in that video clip, and it was only from a part of the game. They showed him defending the three point line, and switching from one man to another effectively. He's a one-man zone defense.

    Predicted Score: UConn vs San Diego State University

    Not going to predict, feels bad for the mojo. I like the UConn win SD State cover prediction. Dan Hurley will get another chance to prove he can close out a game with a late 10-point lead.

    Mick Cronin on UCONN and some Hurley Tidbits

    Disagree there, I think UCLA may come back in the B10. It opens up national recruiting for them. Travel will be an issue.

    OT: John Calipari to return as Kentucky men's basketball coach

    Yep, that's why I want Kentucky to ask AD Dave how to do it. If he can increase the payout from $33 million to $40 million, Kentucky may be broke for a generation.

    OT: John Calipari to return as Kentucky men's basketball coach

    The AD should ask Dave Benedict to mentor him on how to get out of the $33 million Calipari will be owed when he's terminated.

    How to guard Jaedon leedee

    Sanogo and Clingan would be better. Adama is our best chance to handle LeDee.

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

    Chief’s Briefs - Marquette Edition

    Not too worried about Stewart, Hurley knows he's a future star, UConn has a good environment and is competitive with NIL, and Stewart fit with the culture and has earned a significant role. He must know he'll be a leader at UConn next year. I'm more worried about the guys that didn't earn time...

    UConn #1 Overall Seed - Impressive In 3 Bid League

    Very impressive that the SEC champion got a 4 seed, Big 10 champion a 3 seed, and the Big 12 champion got a 2 seed. You've got to hand it to these conferences getting such high seeds for their champions.

    #1 and #2 Seed Discussion

    Auburn is ahead of Tennessee for a #2 seed from the SEC. I'd put Iowa State as the last 1 seed but I could see Auburn. UNC or Arizona would be next on my list.

    Down goes Houston

    I don't know, Houston has had injuries and as we saw against Iowa State isn't the same team that was so dominant for most of the season. Purdue also seems limited and unlikely to be as successful outside the Big Ten. Purdue's early season wins against Xavier, Gonzaga, Tennessee, Marquette...

    Chief’s Briefs - Marquette Edition

    Yes, the development of Stewart, Diarra, and Samson has been impressive and bodes well for next year. Ball showed promise while filling in for Castle early in the year, but now seems to have fallen out of the rotation entirely. Danny has mentioned that the portal is beckoning to UConn players...

    Drew Pyne enters the portal

    If I could make a million dollars a year playing college football, I might have stayed in college to age 28 while I figured out what to do afterward.

    The Judge Listens

    You used to be a hanging judge. Now you're an ignoring judge. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the mojo strategy of the Cuse board on behalf of their NIT team?

    2025 Recruiting: Dwayne Aristode

    Samson played a grand total of 115 minutes before this year, the equivalent of 3 games. Much of it was in garbage time or against weak teams. This year, in which he has 530 minutes so far, is his first real competitive experience. Big men need that experience to see their weaknesses on film...
