AtlantaTiger 205 Report post Posted October 24, 2023 Talk about a total tease....I saw this graphic (see bottom right of graphic) and headline on CBSsports.com and for a minute thought they had lost their minds.

It is funny that our logo is included on the tease. We aren't one of the best 101 teams now, and probably will have trouble doing so this year, but on top of the main goal of making the NCAA Tournament being a top 80-90 team annually would be something I would like to accomplish from a stability standpoint. I do realize it would be extremely difficult. Just for a reference point, Charleston was 52 on this list and 97th on KenPom. Drexel is 107 and Hofstra is 113 in KenPom. That all means nothing, but I always find it interesting to look at before games get started. https://kenpom.com/. Colorado is 31st on it and 29th on KenPom. Not an easy way to get things started this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless of what the NCAA decides, it’s outrageous to let this kid twist in the wind like this. It’s not rocket science or brain surgery. Make a damn decision and be done with it. I needn’t point out how challenged to get W’s this team would be without Tarke, Watson and Conway. Edited October 25, 2023 by TSU88 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vacate 10 or so wins? Do they even know or care who Towson is? I kid. Sort of. But you are 100% correct decisions shouldn’t take this long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I heard somewhere that the NCAA is overburdened from all of the transfer paperwork and requests from the COVID timeframe. I am probably speaking from ignorance, but to your point either uniformly let all of the two-time transfers do it or don't. This one-by-one case examination seems inefficient and likely unfair to the lower profile kids who are trying to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t happen last month, they shoulda hired more people to be prepared for these. Alas it’s the ncaa 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With NIL in play, there are still a lot of people trying to figure out ways to get paid or extend their careers. Makes for a lot of paperwork, and obviously the NCAA hasn't invested in the resources because it doesn't produce revenue and they don't really care about student-athletes. No surprise at all.
