    This Purdue/Houston game is fugly. Purdue has 22 points with under 4 minutes left in the first, is shooting only 36% overall and 30% from 3, but the announcer said they're "doing a great job of carving up" Houston's D. lmao

    He does. Miller missed on him his final season at IU so TKR's first year in college was Woodson's first year coaching college. TKR redshirted. So he has 1 year left.

    On one hand, it's a meh hire by Texas. On the other hand, screw Texas.

    I've said he's good but not great. Overrated. 53% in P5 conferences. It would take more than this tournament to change my mind. It looks like it could be a relatively easy path to the E8. UNC in the first round. Iowa St is a good win. MSU isn't very good of a 2 seed and is very beatable (they lost at home to Woodson ffs). Then they'll probably play an SEC team in the E8 if they get there so that familiarity could go either way.
  9. No, he just said that's what he heard and he was asking Rabby about it, who dodged answering. That's why I'm curious if anyone here has heard about the meetings. To be clear, he said that it was horrible on the part of Mgbako, not CDD.
  10. Have any of the insiders heard about how the player meetings went? Obviously not well since none are coming back but I'm just curious if anything interesting happened. Thrown plants and the like. A poster on peegs is saying he heard Mgbako's went horribly.
  11. Well, so far these isn't really anything to be excited about apart from speculation. There haven't been any announcements since he's been hired. So no reason to be excited yet but also no reason to be writing him off, in my opinion. But you're free to feel however you want to feel.

    I just don't see anyone paying the Buzz Williams buyout. He's decent but not worth the $10M cost just to hire him.

    Whatever, dude. Woodson was the coach when Sisley committed, ergo he's a Woodson recruit. I agree that he would have come regardless of who the coach was but facts are facts.

    Yeah, Sisley is a Woodson recruit but not tainted by Woodson's "coaching" and "culture."
  15. It looks like a raise to $675k and extension. I don't see an extension in this article, just the raise. Calls him the "de-facto general manager" at Bama. I'm not sure if this is behind a paywall or not: https://247sports.com/college/alabama/article/new-contract-details-released-for-alabama-football-staff-members-key-basketball-assistant-247833395/#:~:text=Preston Murphy%2C an assistant coach,will pay him %24675%2C000 annually. This one says there is an extension through the end of 2028. https://alabama.rivals.com/news/alabama-approves-new-contracts-for-over-a-dozen-staff-members-ryan-grubb

    It's not as though he was in Indiana for a long time so it probably really doesn't mean much to him. A year and a half is a blip. I spent almost a year in Georgia and that state still isn't anything special to me.

    I guess I'm rooting for BYU tonight. Since we're trying to get Preston Murphy as an assistant, I want 'Bama out of the tournament sooner rather than later.

    lol, he definitely reads this board. Agreeing with him feels kind of gross. Or maybe I should say him agreeing with me. :)

    To add on to my previous post: Another thing to keep in mind is that when these types of cases go to court, the athletes are actually arguing that the NCAA is hurting their livelihood by denying them eligibility in this way. So the NCAA is unfairly hurting their income with arbitrary and inconsistent rules like this. It doesn't go over well. For reference, see: the NCAA's recent court history

    Another criterion is that the number of games played must be 30% or less. He played 10 of 26 games which is 38%. The issue with Goode is when the games were played since he played 10 of 33 (30%). The argument is that it is arbitrary and unfair to allow someone who plays 10 games at the beginning of the season to get another year while someone who plays the games after the first 1/2 of the season to not get a waiver. That in and of itself would be hard to defend in court but it looks untenable when football is taken into account where they can play 4 games at any time and maintain eligibility. I think Goode would have a very winnable case if it goes to court. I hope he does. I've always thought it was a stupid rule. We'll have to agree to disagree on this.

    Guy Woodson brought in last year. He was a bench warmer at South Carolina State then transferred to IU. He wasn't expected to get minutes and that turned out to be the case (0 minutes played). His dad was in the NBA so I'm guessing Woodson brought him in as a favor to the dad.

    As an SEC team, losing to them is basically the same thing as winning against them. That's what we learned this bowl season.

    If he loses his job at Michigan and stays out of jail, maybe Todd Golden will bring him on as a "consultant."
