I just saw Coach at Jankos - along with some of the assistants but no Lamar :(

Not mediocre - maybe some issues (that with modern rules I don't concern myself with) but not mediocre. He can get and help major talent. I feel like some of our best examples are that 2012 team that was one of my favorites. If I remember right he was pivotal in Vonleh as well though that one didn't pan out as well as we hoped. He can get talent/recruit and a solid coach - imho that's not always a combo that goes together.

Kwagh-hange is the real deal - no need to run any malware checker after visiting links - word of honor....

Looks like May be running into same problem every coach has with transfers into Michigan. Hearing Morez Johnson may not go cause having issues with admission.

But it wasn't just one team - Michigan didn't have it's core together till Apr 20+, we didn't have our best portal gets to 20+, UK, WVU last year, etc... It's actually seems to be the norm more then the exception that teams finish or get most hits around Apr 20 (at least rebuilds). I wish it was done - I do - but man I've seen us fudge up the portal since it opened (imho) so I'm being patient and seeing what comes of it.

2 things that I keep coming back to - one we are waiting to finish our announcement on staff - that would help a bit imho. Teams are still playing - the best teams - these kids will hit the portal just like they did last year (especially those that feel their bench got too short and pushed them out a bit). You still fish when the waters are rough - at the beginning and very end when prices are inflated and values are silly - but you know your best catches come when the waters settle a little - around that Apr 15 to Apr 22 range imho.

Dix to Creighton - who picked that one? Not even the Creighton people thought that was happening - means he wanted to be close to his mom while she's sick - makes me want him more. Solid choice Dix. Money may or may not come but you only get so many opportunities to be there for family.

That would be crazy - when's the last time a college P5 team avg 100+ pts a game? (gotta figure the other guys average 3 to 7)

You gotta think something is gonna happen - only one basketball at a per game.

How funny would it be if our bench is Purdue guys? :) https://www.si.com/college/purdue/basketball/report-purdue-sophomore-camden-heide-enters-ncaa-transfer-portal-college-basketball Honestly thought Colvin and Heide are decent options benchwise - know it probably won't happen but would make me giggle.

Seems to have the same exact effect on the outcomes. Our bed is made for at least 3 years (imho) - perspective is everyone's prerogative neither helps unless someone on here has actual influence which is most likely unlikely. I like to keep 'my head in the sand' or take the more optimistic view - heck I had fun thinking we had a chance at Brad. I figure either way it's gonna happen as its gonna happen - why not enjoy the ride?

Creighton just picked up a high use SG - I've heard it's between us and Creighton for Dix - hopefully this helps? https://x.com/TiptonEdits/status/1907449654075068557

Tbh i also love that McCollum went after him hard since McCollum has a huge expectation on his point guards and really only goes after high IQ pgs.

Look at Enright numbers at Drake - 40% 3ptrs. Never been super impressed with Holtmans offense tbh. Solid 15-20 min player. Love to see us get Conwell, Flory, and Booker. Loved Booker in high school and never really saw where he fit at MSU.

Plus wasn't this a 10mil buyout? Ouch.
