If only my grandmother were around to see Izzo retire.

Are there any players on Auburn’s roster who are eligible to enter the portal tomorrow that DDV and staff would be interested in pursuing or have a chance to land? Elyjah Freeman is one I think fits the playing style.

I don't think we have any scholarships available

Freeman visited in the spring and they reached out on Emeka Opurum. I’m sure Clark worked a couple of them at UT. Overton played for DDV at Drake.  But it would be pretty stunning if the roster isn’t the roster at this point.

Doubt you step down and hand the reigns to your kid if you haven’t done the work to avoid an exodus

Commenting on the Pearl announcement, Trilly Donovan said "two more coaches in the crosshairs."

Poor choice of words this month by Trilly.

Anyway

Izzo and Self do seem like the next up to retire.

I wonder how much more Cal has in the tank.  His ego is so big I think he'll try to coach as long as possible.

NCAA rules former G League player Thierry Darlan eligible for Santa Clara

Seems like a sort of wild precedent...

Not that it wasn’t already dead, but the NCAA has officially killed off even the slightest notion of college sports as an amateur endeavor, A player who played 2 years of professionall basketball in this country. So no weird amateurism elements to rationalize for an international kid. A straight up American Pro will now play for a college.

Coach Hoodie is asking his girlfriend to give his waiver for Tom Brady to have an additional year of eligibility a once over as we speak

I'm pretty sure Coach Hoodie wants to keep his girlfriend as far away from Tom Brady as possible.

A funny little thought experiment...

Jeff Teague is 37 and has 2 years of college eligibility left. 

Would he or a guy in a similar situation consider such a deal for the right price? Lol

Just an extreme example of the tomfoolery that will probably come about in the near future.

The example that immediately came to my mind, no idea why, was Kendall Brown. Played 1 year of college. Came out too early. Was a 2-way guy for the Pacers and Nets and and got kind of stuck in the G-League and signed a 2-way with the Celtics. But he’s probably 21 and after that much time playing pro basketball and with his athletic tools he’d have an impact in college. If it doesn’t happen next year in Boston what would stop him from exploring going back to Baylor?
