    Wouldn’t pretend to have started looking at next year past IU, but anyone who watched Purdue last night and sees a top 10 roster minus Edey is stone nuts.

    Oh, it's not over. Berg, who's 7'3", was redshirted this year and they have Jacobsen, also 7'3", in the '24 class. This is their model.

    Other than Self and his insane consistency, I’m not sure what the argument would be for anyone else.

    L.A. kid. Not unreasonable to assume he’ll end up with Muss at USC.

    Maybe, but this is also showing what a weapon that dude is at this level. Drop a guy like, say, Crowl from Wisky, who’s a really good college center, on this team and tell me how they score. Edey covers up so many faults.

    This will be an interesting situation to follow. Pate just turned 18, so he’s eligible to play in the G-League, which he would have been doing with Ignite anyway. Because of his birthday he isn’t eligible for the draft until ‘26. Would think that if Pate is granted a waiver it would signify that the League is ready to punt on any age requirement even if the NBAPA isn’t.

    Yup. He gave a huge gift to Mizzou for their then new basketball arena to name after his granddaughter but they removed her name after it came out that she’d cheated her way though USC.

    Played AAU last year with McNeeley and OTE with Daquan Davis. So he has a long history with guys who aren’t coming here.

    Knox's situation is a little like Bryson Tucker's. The consensus was that he was going to go G-League until that started to look like a non-starter. His brother played at UK. So he's now had the rug pulled out from under him a couple of different ways.

    In honor of everyone in my day to day life who are currently losing their minds right this second and presumably for the next couple of hours.

    That’s as good an endorsement of the kid as you could ask for. Even the highest profile factories still recruit to varying degrees. Montverde straight selects.

    No better guy to do it. Kempe’s awesome.

    I actually think Miller would kill it there. He might even be my 1st choice. But the relationship with Cal is probably problematic under these circumstances.

    Not only could they do worse than Pope, they probably will. But when you’re UK and you fancy yourself the biggest of big dogs and your HC just got poached, even if you’re happy about it, winning the presser is gonna be just as important as winning in November and Pope isn’t gonna do that. If they’re willing to fork out a buyout the size of Oats’ I’m sure they’ll get a name, be it him or Sean Miller or whomever.

    You have a better chance of getting that job.

    For me they probably already were, or very close to it. Two 8’s and a 16 in 3 yrs is a hell of a run. Not sure Cal moves the needle much past that. But he’ll certainly run a more stable program and given the investment they're making here I can’t imagine he doesn’t have unlimited resources. So maybe he can. And between what a creep Muss is and how hideous UK is in general, Cal making a Final 4 there would stick a finger in the eye of a bunch of people I loathe, so I might be low key rooting for that.

    I think it’s pretty clearly 1 guy, or at bare minimum 1 guy doing the actual tweeting because the style is always the same. The Coaching Changes feed is definitely multiple guys. They sound very different tweet to tweet.

    I can absolutely see Oats wanting that job. Also, and this would be so hysterically funny should it get rolling, this has always felt like the 1 college gig Donovan might seriously consider.

    I had never heard of Kent Nishimura until maybe 4 hrs ago(thank you, Rex Chapman), and I’ve now listened to 10 or so of these and they’re freaking hypnotic. He’s 21, and he takes full arrangements and somehow distills all of the instrumental parts along with the vocal cadence into a single guitar line and then freaking kills it. It’s like the old Eric Clapton line about hearing Robert Johnson and asking who the other guy playing was. I don’t know if this is genius or a parlor trick or something in between, but it is a sight to see.

    I don’t buy it, but, for the sake of argument, would imagine that would put Fland back in play in a New York second.

    Wow, those bitter as hell UConn WBB gatekeepers who really look for any reason at all to trash Clark have got to be choking right about now. You’ve got to be impressed with how hideous they are in that they’ve managed to make Clark a sympathetic figure.

    Apparently Arkansas is facing a 2 year post season ban for recruiting violations related to, of all guys, Keyon Menifield.

    Yup, and until coaches take the hit even after they leave it’s never gonna stop. And Muss is such a POS. Can hardly stand the guy. There’s a reason he’s had a million jobs. Of all the names who got thrown around here when Woody got the job, Muss was the one that was just too gross. He’s never gonna stay anywhere.

    https://twitter.com/CoachingChanges/status/1776967509482316025 Not surprising, but it always makes me laugh how frequently schools get busted for recruiting kids who aren’t particularly good.

    Would not be opposed to exploring this one. He’s a year young for his class, so the season he had isn’t a shock. He’s got a great frame and he can really run. He’s strong enough to defend the block and he’s really quick off his feet. He’s got a chance to get a lot better.
