Bradley University - 17 years ahead of the curve. https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/1131327023958380544?s=21 Since I've been out of the loop and this was brought up, is Les actually one of the more successful former NBA players in NCAA D1 coaching? He at least made the S16, which is more than...

Not really applying to 19-20, but MO State just got another huge verbal from a 4-star talent.

If Ford can coach them up at all, they look every bit the favorites the next couple years (on paper).

Just now making the rounds...

I know some of you guys have some stories so feel free to share them here.

No way does Michigan do that. That is a top 10-15 job. They will get whoever they want. My name: Tony Bennett. Since that's not happening, who else you got? I don’t know. I think that has more legs than people think. Not that I’m predicting it. I'm sure no one will take it to Vegas or anything, wha...

Given how late in the carousel game it is right now, wouldn't Yaklich have to be the guy?

Nope.

A couple NBA names could be out there and plenty of other D1 coaches that would be willing to jump to Michigan at this stage of the offseason.

Thanks...I needed the laugh.

That forum is filled with humor (and stupidity)

Also, maybe I am the only one, but I am not getting what SIU is doing. Maybe Mullins is just a better diamond in the rough talent evaluator, but I think they are taking some real gambles here and it could be awhile to build there.

Burrell and the Brummett’s would be a perfect fit for a GLVC team.

I recall quite a contingent from Chicago imploring Bradley to take a look at Burrell...I am pretty glad we didnt given what we have ended up with.

I am just not sure how he would get on the floor now.

Yes, you have to infer from the way it rolled out that BW and staff believe: a) Kingsby is eligible b) Kingsby will contribute c) 1 or 2 of the frosh will grow to contribute d) all 6 of the returners will contribute Kingsby + 1 frosh contributor = 8 rotation players Kingsby + 2 frosh contributors =...

Hope he doesnt think we are the Bradley Kabooms

Also, if you want to make a style and skill comp, Akenten is much closer to the skill level of Ugouk than Yarbrough.

A new candidate for the final spot

Wow. Turned down 17.8M over 8 years guaranteed if true.

I was kidding about the Wardle stuff...

Maybe we should ask Ozark about it all. Probably has his ear to the ground there too.

I can't wait for guys like Chin Coleman and Robert Smith and Nick Irvin to all put their names out should the job come open

Am I wrong in thinking that the St Johns/Porter Moser thing is bad for both sides? Why? At least in Porter's case he knows how to build a culture and find the players he needs for his system instead of having some inflated self worth like the previous few coaches there and try to convince the 5 sta...

Porter would be smart to take it and Loyola would be smart to not try and match any offer. People keep saying it as though Loyola could write a blank check or match the zeroes...I dont think thats even remotely possible. And yes, he should take it. Where he is right now, he isnt gonna get any hotte...

Guess we should start wondering about Wardle as a potential candidate for Loyola now?

(Fwiw I think Bryce Drew would be the best out there unless he thinks he is headed back to Valpo in a year)

Sh*t just got real!

NEXT!

https://twitter.com/GoodmanHoops/status/1115416154447597568?s=19 Bobby Hurley is by far the top replacement candidate. So weird. On his way up, too. Maybe he just wanted to get it fixed and get out. Hope it's not a health thing, but one also wonders if they already have a guy in the bag. Wonder abo...

Bobby Hurley is by far the top replacement candidate.

Lets get weird.

Yeah, if I recall correctly (Im sure you remember this better SQ), Fran McCaffrey who is now at Iowa was a prime candidate and had real serious interest, but had his meeting and found out the offer and laughed it off all the way back to UNCG and then took the Siena job which paid substantially more ...
