Re: 2024 expectations ...

I don't want to make any predictions either, but I think the offense is in good hands. Former head coach with a great offensive mind and an OLine coach that is damn good at his job. If Avery is a threat to run the ball, the defense has to designate a spy to keep him contained. I believe that our OCs...

Re: Little Basketball Player is a stud..!

He is skilled, I'll give him that. I am not a fan of the 'look at me' activity though. I get it he is a little kid, but if he gets worse as he gets older, it is going to get problematic, especially if he idolizes the idiots in the NBA. And if his parents are short people, his future success in baske...

Re: NIL in High School...

Sounds like the beginning of European style club sports in America. I can see it happening in most sports except for football. Football equipment costs too much money, as does upkeep of the field, even turf.. But who knows? If that is what happens, school districts should charge some pretty good rat...

Re: Portal 2024

This team is starting to remind me of back in the 80s and that Illini team that had Kendall Gill and Kenny Battle and Nick Anderson. All of them were around 6'5 and 6'6, long armed guys who could really play. Keyonte Johnson was 6'4", could shoot and defend. These guys Tang is picking up are like hi...

Re: Was hoping AJ could help fix this void we seem to have every year

For the record, I think our talent level is underrated and underappreciated. The reputation around over-achieving by doing more with perceived less is just an inaccurate assessment by people too lazy to do the work based on what Bill Snyder did in the mid-90s. I could give a dissertation on this to...

Re: NIL Tournament next Thanksgiving is the final wrecking of College basketball

On Day 4 every player submits a secret ballot as to where he wants to start class next Monday, and the rosters are adjusted accordingly. One team gets 25 players? Another gets 3? Too bad. The main thing is everybody gets rich. Classes? We talkin' 'bout classes? Highway, you hit on one of the things...

Re: Was hoping AJ could help fix this void we seem to have every year

I thought the receiver room was loaded last year, too, but not so much as it turned out. I think Kleiman is starting to get his rep. It started out that he was just an FCS coach that will struggle at the next level to now being one of the flagship coaches in the Big 12 because of stability and bette...

Re: Who is to blame for NIL misfires, Tang or the Collective?

We have 4 pretty darn good players already with a lot of time left to "shop". Are we expecting to bat a thousand?? I don't think anyone expects to bat a thousand, but I also don't blame people if they are concerned. We have added some good guys, but we lost a lot of good guys and a lot of the best ...

Re: Who is to blame for NIL misfires, Tang or the Collective?

A coach is not supposed to negotiate NIL deals with players. People, including myself, have been lamenting about K State and Tang not closing the deal on targeted players. Well maybe the weak link is the negotiator at the Collective. Maybe we should get a mean ass negotiator at the Collective. You ...
