The first part is a bit uncalled for, don't you think? Jones struggled on the field, no one is going to debate that, but he devoted 4+ years to the university and by all accounts represented the school well off the field and you characterize the young man as 'absolute trash.' smh

Hell of a win - great performance by Tucker this afternoon for 6 innings!

Agree, that's why I said they could be a potential dark horse NCAA tourney team, e.g. bubble'y 10-12 seed type squad, not compete for the Big East championship - HUGE DIFFERENCE. Furthermore, I think Coach Matta is a tremendous coach, and will be out to prove a lot of folks across the industry wrong - again nothing to back this up with. I just have a great deal of respect for the work that he accomplished throughout his tenure at Butler (Rd 1) and OSU.

100% - With Hunter and the NC State transfer earlier in the week, Manny Bates, paired w/Ali Ali from Akron and the return of Lukosius from the portal, Butler should be a talented squad (potentially a dark horse NCAA tourney team.)

That's cool and all...but I think you are missing the point here...16 L's > 4 L's and by the 'transverse property of coaching' Woody > Self...or something like that ; )

17?! Damn! Woody has a minuscule 4 career home loses - net, net nothing to be worried about here.

McFadden Round 5 to the Giants, very cool for the young man.

Indeed.

UNC's scholarship #'s should be fine (13 going into next season) per VC's tracker once you pull out Manek (graduation).

Silly question that has probably already been addressed, but is he a relation of Tamika - son/nephew?

Newman, Morton, and the Frosh (Smith/Loyer) I believe. I am sure they will add a true point from the portal.

Would it be inappropriate to just drop in a JPEG of the 'state of Georgia' as well?! The in-roads Coach Ya has made within the state are remarkable, unlocking a new level of athlete for the program.

100% - look at what Steve Pikiell has built at Rutgers. If I were at Minnesota, PSU, Northwestern, etc. that is the formula I would follow...establish a culture and develop from within even it means taking lumps first few years.

Completely different players, but does anyone get a little Al Durham vibe from Dennis in terms of being a team-first player, well-respected, good dudes that if nothing else will come in and hustle and help with the team's culture?

Big loss for the program, Mashack was a beast on the recruiting trail.
