Future of MTEs

[Flipside]

Future Non Cons I'd like to see. Not sure how much money home and home series make compared to neutral sites. They are both fun.

Home and homes Id like to do:

1 - Duke - The white whale elephant in the room. Both games on campus would be huge
2 - Virginia - They are going to be good again soon. Great coach. I've got the hook ups in C-ville
3 - Michigan - Another big brand with a great coach and a dope college town.
4 - UCLA - I dont think Uconn has ever played at Pauley.

Quick question as it relates to the current state of the Big East: is it just a down year or is it a decline with a league that doesn’t have enough money to spend on players? We’ve got great coaches in the league in my opinion.

Why play any cupcakes? Get rid of the sub-300 NET teams. Plus We’d make more money playing a respectable mid major at home like Yale, UMass, BC etc

Here's your reason:

"just how mad you get at your team when they underestimate a scrappy, loaded mid-major team. I hate those games."

Schools in the league need to recruit better high school talent but I think it's just a case of the other top teams Marquette and Creighton being horrible this season. For some really strange reason Shaka won't use the transfer portal and it worked out fine when he hit on recruits who turned out much better than they were supposed to be and the kids he has now just aren't good. Creighton spent a lot of money in the portal but they didn't target the right guys.

St. John's spent a ton of money on their roster and they should be fine but they're not living up to the preseason hype because it's bad roster construction and it will take time for them to gel if it ever happens.

Kyle Neptune was horrible for Nova but Willard will make them good again IMO, they spend a lot of money on basketball.

Providence has a lot of talent, they're getting good high school recruits and portal players but Kim English is a terrible coach.

Xavier as a University reportedly has some financial problems but they're a very basketball centric school. It was a blow to them losing Sean Miller again, let's see how Pitino's son does with them.

I thought Cooley would be doing better with Georgetown by now. I still think they may turn the corner soon.

Portal era roster construction 101 and 102

101: You don't want multiple of your team's best players to be transfers in their first year at the program. It's too high variance. Grow your stars.
102: You don't want your best players to be players who were on the team last year and had a potential role to be good and weren't. Recruit over them with a transfer and take the gamble.
