Interesting. I never watched buckyball but get the impression it calls for very active players on both ends of the court. Does not seem like a MM thing but maybe Woody would not let him loose.

But open it back up if over 40. Then if some of these schools that have a big turnover we are here to help. For the record, I might be way over 40. Might.

Ok, curious minds want to know more. Were you there at Yanko’s too. Your comments about chit chatting and then he just committed suggests you saw or were tapped in on this meal. What is the scoop here.

If the junior college years don’t count anymore for D1 eligibility and he only played 2 yrs at Troy does he have 2 more years left?

Yankos porterhouse late gave me a heck of a kidney stone.

Good to see you branching out from just social media follows to dining with recruits tracking

To be fair, we do not know much more about these guys vs last years group except they shoot better from outside. Last year we brought in a well rounded (on paper) group but were the here more for the money, not coached well or overrated. Maybe all but hopefully this years group proves to be what they appear to be

Can Lamar drive? Can he create his own shot?

The sky is unfalling yesss!

These are cool. The other “designer” ones were ugly

Who was “him”? Wilkerson? In one post you suggest only coaches were there but in this one “him” drove up to be seen by your wife

I agree. Worked at the HT for 6 years after graduating and the summers were awesome. Like Disney on non busy days.

Any intel on who and when the staff will be finalized? Any ideas on the 4-5 we have ready to sign by end of the week?

Helps give some perspective about how hard it is for coaches to leave a good job to go and rebuild somewhere else. While the portal helps it also hurts. There are a lot of kids available to recruit from the portal but you also generally have most of your team go into the portal.

If we offer $800k are they getting an equal match or enough of a match to stay put? I suspect the latter but if not, then we may be underestimating how much $ we have compared to others. May have to shop the scrap heap for coaches out of work.

Could make sense to overpay them now. Over time the rest may catch up but if they are working out well then we should be able to match offers for them unless for a HC position

Is done but not committed yet basically a verbal? I agree many others will likely be coming after him. I wonder if he has a no-contact posting on his portal info

If any of you come across any games of his we should watch, link here. It has been cool to watch prior WVU games to see both Coach and Tucker in action. Hoping Reed can provide some sort of combo in between JMorgan and Danny Wolf. Even if a lessor version of those guys but one that can be a weapon if ignored and one that can help create opportunities for the others. With the way Tucker can pass, I am liking the addition of guys that can move and score and distribute the ball. Hoping he is a key cog to the "team" aspect

Good to hear the administration has been looking to help already. Suggests, they are aware of the need, have some resources available and probably ready to react if Moren cannot adapt. Hoping she can because she has built something and would be nice to see her continue that.

I can't help but wonder if the reported email from MM and the subsequent non-response/punishment for that neutered any goodwill gained from the staff's support. I recall that Moren wanted her to play to her size advantage more and work inside more was creating a role here that differed from the role Maryland offered. Also a bit saddened that we have not been able to utilize the portal to restack things here. 2023/24 was a great year but we took a step back this year. If we take another step back next year Moren might start to lose a lot of momentum.

Or get kind of lucky like he did with Small. Small was the 8th best portal PG last year and seemed to outplay that

It is but his point is correct.

Did Reed Bailey visit any other schools? Had seen where UK felt good about him
