The cynic in me thinks it might have had more than a little bit to do with how big of a bump they each got in NIL money.  

Yeah, I saw that info later in this thread and after I posed the question. Money talks.

94 to 99.  You missed the free happy hour taco bar at Kiltoy Sports.  So take that special plasma money to Sports, eat a ton of free tacos and slam a couple beers.  Go home and nap it off lol

I might of missed free tacos but I got to watch Calbert and company play live a lot as a student.  Fair trade off IMO.

Referencing back, I read Mgbako is receiving his offer this week (or at least that is what I think I remember, lol). Any feelings on Reneau staying/going?

Definitely not Chris Lawson

"BIG RED" was a legend.

I know there is nothing on this but let's say theoretically we get May or Pearl. Do you think we get a second shot at Liam McNeeley?

Exactly.

some people are ecstatic we won four straight but who the hell did we really beat teams that are playing poorly down the stretch.

I want to see what we do against Purdue, Illinois and other really good teams then I’ll say we’ve turned the corner or not.  my money is we get thumped like we have already this year.

I understand your sentiments completely, and agree that we need to beat the better teams to be taken seriously.. 

He did not position his statement about the last 10 games. 

Like I said, backing up criticism with accurate statements provides for a better response than posting partial truths, which then causes the thought that there's  an agenda behind the post.

No I don't. I think that ship has sailed no matter who the coach is

I think the new coach should reach out but I doubt it.

Doubt it. Darn toxic fans running of Woodson's only recruit.

I can still hear Knight screaming "Damnit Lawson" in AH.

I think he is going to Kansas to take the Furphy role over.

Do players need to officially enter the portal to field offers from other teams?

Or is there enough back channel talk going on that makes that unnecessary?

No. Coaches contact players agents or players themselves regarding offers to transfer. It's been happening the last few weeks.

I don't think it'll happen but that was the hypothetical I was replying to.

You played ball at Edgewood too.  I actually think we ran in the same circle since my beastie at the time played there 92-94

Yeah? I played on that team. lol

There is a good chance you two know each other. :-)

So where is the optimism coming from that we could still get a new coach this year?  Money has been paid doesn’t mean new coach correct? Administration let a statement out to retain Woody so after Senior day celebrations, what makes anyone think he won’t be back ?

Yeah, I’m in the same boat. Need to be caught up…

This is what Cathy said:

Hire the right guy and you can give them the authority to make decisions, even really big ones. Hire a lawyer or a former athlete from your school with no time as an AD anywhere, ever, and you’re in trouble at some point. We done this, as has Purdue (Burke swam at Purdue but had zero AD experience, by the way), and it...

---------------

To me that says while an AD can have that authority, Dolson doesn't.  But IMO Cathy is either someone who knows someone on the board is just simply doing a roundabout way of defending them (doing a lot of doublespeak and then ending with 'I'm not either defending or supporting' but when anyone attacks the BOT, she is pointing fingers elsewhere) or "she" is just Ngw's alternate account.  In her version, Quinn and the BOT supported hiring Woodson as did Dolson but it's Dolson's fault despite the fact that Dolson's first choice was Stevens.

There is a Cathy on the BoT…. Just saying.

Brad Stevens calls and says he's all in. That's enough to fire Woodson.
