The P5’s are perfectly content with low-mid majors being their farm system. It’s a lazy way for P5’s to get better, at the expense of the low-mid majors. Why worry about recruiting high school kids when you can just sit back and go after low-mid major players who have a proven track record of success at the college level? And with the “sit-1” rule probably being done away with (if it already isn’t) it’s only going to get worse. This may rub some people the wrong way, but the players aren’t blameless either. Loyalty to the school that gave them a scholarship and a platform to showcase themselves often goes right out the window at the first opportunity to jump ship & play on a larger stage. If you’re a low-mid major, maybe the way to go is de-emphasize (not eliminate) recruiting high school players and instead focus more on getting transfers from P5/high-major programs who are transferring because they’re dissatisfied with a lack of playing time. Kind of ironic; the low-mid major kids with stars in their eyes passing the disillusioned P5/high-major kids in the transfer portal as they all look for their next, and in some cases, temporary pit stop. I’m reminded of this kid Pridgen, who after 1 year, is transferring from UNCW, after he transferred there after 1 year at Holy Cross. Next season he’ll be on his 3rd team in 3 years. As someone else said, it’s really like pro sports free agency, without the press conference announcing terms of the new contract.

Haha. I’d take a dry boring town like Salt Lake City if it means us playing in the tourney. I’d prefer New Orleans or Nashville but beggars can’t be choosers https://www.vuhoops.com/platform/amp/villanova-basketball/2020/10/14/21516405/2023-26-ncaa-tournament-sites-announced 2026 looks nice. Hopefully our new coach can make some magic happen in his first season

Did anyone’s grandpa play with Kevin Clark? Or friends or cousins or sons play d3 with skerry or O’Connell? Unfortunately we used our family coach on the moto-parfait package. I personally think we should have held out and hired Cade Cunningham’s brother like ok state did

They didn’t play a game for 51 days.. but I’m guessing they won’t use that as an excuse like some. Man this thread has now exceeded my expectations 🤣🤣

I believe the block is on Baltimore Street. And believe it or not the strippers had a protest at town hall not too long ago to open the strip joints as they were previously closed for corona. Gotta make money somehow in this economy

Norfolk State beats Morgan State in MEAC title game, putting ex TU recruit JJ Mathews in the dance. Matthews is another vagabond, as he’s now on his 3rd school (TU, Ark State & now Norfolk State)

Can we get some of our guys to enter it? Maybe even some of the staff too?
