Unimaginable those inbreds didn’t fire him for his verbal vomit this Spring.

 

Does he survive this one?  Guy’s got some problems, that’s for sure. 

Especially given this is his last year, I’m still dumbfounded he survived the radio thing. 

There’s just no way he coaches another game. No way. 
 

 

….right?

It’s like he’s trying to get fired and the AD says, “Now, hold on a minute, Bob….”

The president is Gordon Gee who at O$U did everything to keep Tressel around after the Pryor stuff.

My question, why would you go over to a UK website in the first place?

Have to think so.  Of course he'll probably get hired by Mississippi State next year because that's what Mississippi colleges do.

Because it's good to see what other can bases are saying. Get out of the bubble.

#1 -- check on any relevant Antonio Reeves information. (FWIW, Jeff Goodman has now positively confirmed with Illinois State that Reeves is enrolled in summer classes there).

#2 -- it's college basketball......UK is a big player who is really struggling to get transfers.

And Gee himself was forced out at O$U for comments he made about Catholics.  What the hell is it about West Virginia and people in charge making anti-Catholic remarks?

Anyway, the person who seems to be personally involved so far seems to A.D. Wren Baker and not Gee.  Gee seems to pretty much just be running through the motion at this point, which is probably not a big surprise.  He should have ended his career back in 2013 when he quickly resigned from OSU, and he was 69 back then.  Ultimately, I think Wren Baker will be the one making the call.

He gone.

Now the watch for player transfers is on.  West Virginia had a tremendous season in terms of bringing in transfers.   I don't know for sure, but I believe if they were to get released from their LOI from West Virginia that they would be eligible to re-enter the portal (Perez didn't actually enter the portal last season, but he's been in college for five years so I am just assuming he would qualify as a grad transfer).  For reference, Caleb Love reentered the portal this season after the May 11th deadline so I assume once you enter, you are able to re-enter if the school you transferred to allows you out of your LOI. 

They brought in:

Omar Silverio, Manhattan:  6'3" guard, in 2021-22:  10.9 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 1.1 apg.  Sat out 22-23 with injury.

Jose Perez, Manhattan:  left Manhattan in the fall of 2022 after the head coach was fired, transferred to West Virginia last spring semester of 23.  In 21-22, the 6'5" guard averaged 18.9 points, 3.2 reb, and 4.5 assists.  Is not known to be a three point threat, though -- 30% for his career.

Jesse Edwards, Syracuse:  6'11" center, averaged 14.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.7 blocks last year.  Has played four years.

Kerr Kriisa, Arizona:  6'3" point guard, averaged 9.9 points, 2.4 reb, 5.1 assists.  37% bulk three point shooter last season.

Raequan Battle, 6'5" guard, Montana St.  Averaged 17.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.9 assists last season.  35% shooting from three last year.  First three years were two years at Washington and a year at Montana State.....those years were pretty meh, just really burst through last year.

Couldn't care less what UK fans think. I love college basketball and follow the sport but doesn't mean I need to go to other teams message boards.

So don't.  Just not sure why you care if someone else does.

I don't really care if others do but why go over there to get banned. Most opposing fans go to other boards to just troll and don't see the point of that. My response were to a post saying he was already banned from their site

OK great, thanks for letting us know.

And I went over for the humor, and to point and laugh.
