Will this have more reality than the Arkansas gay triangle love thing?
https://www.pjstar.com/story/sports/college/basketball/bradley-hoops/2024/03/20/ncaa-transfer-portal-missouri-valley-conference-mvc-players-transferring-for-2024-25/73024764007/I believe 9 of those came from Drake and Indiana State. A 10th player was tampered with by Iowa State and he's transferring from Northern Iowa. Dude announced his destination the day after the portal opened.
Mo Valley losing 12 of 16 all conference players to the portal
not sure if It Just Be Like That, but every time they showed a slo-mo replay where Eddy was involved (both defense and offense) he would just whack the crap out of whoever was in his vicinity. Specifically i'm remembering Eddy going for a slam dunk and the uconn guy tried to block it but his hand went thru the net and it was called goal tending but at the moment the ball rimmed out and Eddy seemed kinda mad that his dunk didn't count in the traditional sense, then on the way down (to the floor) Eddy just smacked that dude right in the mouth.
Another time was on defense the uconn guy drove the lane and did kind of a circus shot over Eddy's outstretched arms and then on the way down Eddy swatted that guy too.
In both cases it didn't really look like anything in real time, and the uconn players didn't try to sell the contact.
I have never played collegiate basketball (or professional) so i'm not sure if that's just how it goes sometimes or if Eddy is kind of a dirty bitch?
I played professionally, but not collegiately.
As to Storrs, it does feel like the middle of nowhere. Closest major metro is Hartford, I think, if you can even call Hartford a major metro. I stayed there for a few days in middle school, and I can't remember a single thing about Storrs other than the campus.
Hartford is absolutely a major metro, but when you're in Storrs, it may as well be two hours away. UConn has not traditionally done well with NYC kids because if you really want to stay close to home Storrs is a crap deal. It's 2.5 hours to NYC in good traffic. You can't even take a train from Storrs to NYC or Boston, you have to get to New Haven, which is an hour away, then take the commuter rail to the city.
121,000 souls, per the 2020 census. It's a nice, historic city, featuring Mark Twain's house and some old graveyards, but is that really a major metro?

Arteta finished 8th and 8th his first two seasons.Haha yep
It'd be nice to have that added experience. But we'll see
HVL would almost certainly cost development time for Sides, but, conceptually, I very much like the idea of playing SS off ball a bit more - especially when she goes on TO frenzies (seems like they always happen in bunches).
just stop. now, I can agree that she would further complicate an already complicated roster situation and as s2’s biggest fan on this whole message board, I don’t think HVL is taking her minutes, but she’s a very good player nonetheless.We made Van Lith's transfer shortlist.
Man, I hope this doesn't happen. She's a great value Serena Sundell
i just don’t see her minutes on this roster as it stands today, but I also don’t know what next year’s roster will look like so perhaps she will fill a need that we’re not aware of.
Purdue decided to live or die by Edey but he was not up to the task this time.
United are currently giving up between 20-30 shots per game which is among the worst in all of Europe. This has been mitigated in part by Onana who has settled in and been solid in goal. United also look like scoring at least 2 goals themselves per game. It's just pure chaos - which brings me back to the feeling that Ten Hag has given up. Not sure he'll survive the summer with new ownership.
Watched the Old Firm highlights too yesterday. What a game. Why did they get rid of away fans for this fixture? Sounded like they're bringing them back soon though.

Kentucky is going to be wrecked with all the incoming guys following Cal. Whoever they hire will need to bring a roster.
Should be some solid meltdown takes here today:One of the hosts just proclaimed "Tang is dying to get out of KState and I can't believe he didn't take the Arkansas job."

Alrighty then.
Damn, i didn't know that spracs. Sorry you went through that.
I know, but the loss of Black Mamba affected us all.
Painter leveraged the hell out of Mizzou before they hired HaithHow has Painter been at Purdue for as long as he has? No one tries to hire him away just because it's his alma mater? He's won the Big Ten 4 of the past 8 years and is only getting paid $3.67 million. Surely somewhere like Kentucky or UCLA could lure him away.
if i remember correctly, he about left 10 years ago but decided to stay. He's had some tourney issues which prob scare some.
I don't believe the Arkansas stuff. That sounds super gross to me.
Right? Like why
They have more of every conceivable measurable advantage to make a job easier than we do, literally every single one, and not by a little either.
Crazy he turned that down then
A couple of things.
1. The 3MAW guys said he was facing a lot of internal pressure, presumably from friends and family to stay.
2. Arkansas has all those advantages, it can't be denied, they play in a 20,000 seat arena for goodness sakes, but it's Arkansas, it's a weird and frankly disgusting place. Muss left them for a situation that's appreciably worse, but it's not in Arkansas so there's that.
Which is kinda why I was like why. He left for USC. Which I get is location wise undeniably better but from a program and history is just absolute meh. His move from Arkansas to USC is like Frank to the other USC. It has little to do with history and a lot with admin. I get Linton dicked over Tang but from all I see the mustang is a great guy to work for.
To me all Arky has is it's 40 minutes of hell past and that's it. Your second point assessment is the correct take on trying to go to Arkansas to be bball coach. It ain't worth it
WTF? Quite the 180 from yesterdays postI don't believe the Arkansas stuff. That sounds super gross to me.

Boggy bottom boys on Reddit. There was more of this joined by KU fans agreeing they had such a respectful rivalry as they have such great histories, and yes we're talking Iowa State.foocyclone sounds really racistQuotefcocyclone

So quick? I thought he was fake as eff even before this year. This year just confirmed it further.
I generally pull for the old big 8 teams. I was sincere in saying I think you guys will be better off without him.QuoteFixner_Blount

Tang caused plenty of toxicity towards ISU and he never spoke out about it. I’d have a lot more respect for him now if he came out and said “my bad, I thought I something that I actually didn’t.”
But he didn’t, and instead the KState Twitter crowd ran with a bunch of BS about throwing things at the bench and being racist. It amazes me how many K State fans are being intentionally arrogant of that whole situation.
