There is not a serious school in high major that would have kept a coach with a zero person recruiting class. We kept a coach who lost his one person class. We were for a not insignificant length of time, the only P4 team in the country without a 2024 commit. It’s unconscionable he was allowed to continue for a 4th year. Any coach not named MW would not have survived how that season and cycle went at a serious basketball school. We are completely unserious and I will continue to think that until there is a change.

My father raised me a Lions fan. I liked to tell him child protective services should have been called for that trauma lol. He’d have never believed the current iteration of Lions football was real.

Merry Christmas, Fire Mike Woodson.

Cal forum insiders were saying he turned down 1mm from them, and I read a few things talking about 2 from us, so that’s probably close. I’d be curious about what UGA offered. Cal people are pretty pissed at the kid for saying he was “always a bear” at some Call event on December 10 then entering the portal on December 11. So who knows, but he was wanted by a few huge programs, so no way we got him cheap.

Not disagreeing with you, but Transfer Mendoza probably stays both years he has left, which IMO means Cherry is gone next year unless Mendoza plays himself into a for sure draft pick. NIL has changed the market on QBs in particular with respect to the NFL and guaranteed money. If you’re probably going to be an UDFA anyways, and your value is super high at the P4 level, there’s almost no reason to leave early. All depends on draft grades obviously and I certainly hope Mendoza plays himself into the position to leave. I just wouldn’t bank on that in the way teams could (keeping Cherry for 26) before NIL.

I’ll be interested to see how he recruits high school with a full cycle to play with which should really be the ‘26 class. ‘24 was a wash and just keeping who we had, which obviously has an effect on ‘25 + new coach unknowns. We are not an unknown anymore and neither is Cignetti, so ‘26 on is where I think we start to see gains in high school beyond what we are used to. I will say I wouldn’t be surprised to see QB continue to be a portal focus year over year, but I think that market is going to become much more competitive. Guys like Rourke have shown that being productive at a lower level can translate in a big way.

Mendoza is a massive get. Really excited to see the Cignetti effect in a full recruiting cycle.

He’d actually have to do any coaching for me to rate him. Not one Woodson team has gotten better as the season progresses. He makes almost no adjustments, he either can’t or doesn’t teach his archaic defense. He has none of the hallmarks of a head coach. We have a figurehead in a retirement job not a coach.

Huge win, we are so back again.

Taking the points in every game we are favored is free money this year.

They’ve missed a lot of open looks from three

I went with the thanks strictly to finish the full Monty of reactions.

This game has matched my mood and hangover from yesterday.

We are certainly trying to let nooga win, they just don’t want to oblige us.

My head still hurts from last night from crying into my bourbon.

Ballo is going to be sent to the line infinity times in B1G play instead of being allowed to post up.

We are not a good basketball team.

Hatton needs more minutes. I will die on this hill.

I know it’s Christmas break but it looks like it’s not even half full.

AH sounds like a morgue.

Bardo sounds extra dumb today, even for him.

That’s one handsome ref, my wife is rooting for fouls today.

I love the look. That’s probably the high point of this game so far lmao

We have no identity at either end.
