I hope we take a look at the goofy looking Indiana State center that drains 3s.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Re: Coaching Carousel Master Thread (MAYBE FEATURING THE KSU CATS?)
« on: April 09, 2024, 12:11:50 PM »Seems weird to build up a program to be a perennial top 20 team, win a Natty, and bail for another program. How often does that happen? I don't think very often which is why I don't see Drew leaving Baylor. Seems like he has a good thing going and he can be there as long as he wants with limited pressure from fans/AD/UP.This is true but Baylor is arguably the "lowest profile" school to win a championship in recent memory. Villanova is probably the closest comparison?
Not sure school's profile matters anymore if you have NIL support + fan/AD/UP support. I think this is why we have seen some hall of fame coaches retire in the last couple years. I don't think Kentucky/KU/UCLA/Duke/Michigan State/North Carolina names will continue to hold the weight they used to. The "name" is no longer needed to bring in great players and contend for titles. The last two years represent the new NIL landscape, and I don't think many of us would have predicted not a single Blue Blood (UCONN is now BB though) making the FF.
2024 FF Teams:
Bama, Purdue, NC State, and UCONN
2023 FF Teams:
SDST, Miami, FIU, and UCONN
I think long term, NIL support will be more closely related to profile. Higher profile/blue bloods will win in the NIL/Portal era.
NIL money will be king, program pedigree will be down the list of priorities for top recruits. What WILL be a deciding factor is the number of players the program that land in the NBA. McDonalds All-Americans don't go to Lawrentucky because of it's atmosphere or tradition, they go to KU because KU have a lot of players that make it to the NBA. When the number of players KU puts in the NBA declines, so will recruiting.
I don't disagree with anything you're saying, I just expect that in the long term NIL money and program pedigree will be more closely related than they might be now.
I think the big money doners that were paying the under the counter money to players probably have a little sticker shock, now that NIL is increasing exponentially, compared to what they used to pay for players

So, has he interviewed for the job or is it just fans wish list that he is a finalist? I would imagine he would be a fan finalist for any open job.

Maybe he can talk Reed into coming too!

I really hope so. If he can add about 10-15 pounds of muscle and play consistantly with that aggressive style he's capable of, he can be great.

« on: March 14, 2024, 01:32:57 PM »remember when texas had a big lead and thought they were going to win and advance even though they aren't really even in the big 12 and shouldn't be allowed to participate at all?
We sat in the middle of a bunch of Texas fans, who were loud and proud. I was too polite to laugh out loud when the game was over.
Did they start chanting SEC, SEC, SEC? Probably just low self esteem a Mizzou thing.

« on: March 13, 2024, 11:53:32 AM »As soon as I start to struggle making good contact, chunking or topping, I go Jon Rahm and shorten my backswing with all of my clubs. Keeping the left arm as straight as possible, bring it just to parallel to the ground.
I def do this. My main issue is with my grip/hands. I've only been playing consistently for like 2 years, so I've only recently learned to grip the club properly. It still feels uncomfortable at time and if it does, it is slice city.
For me, the best single single swing thought to help with a slice is to keep your right elbow in tight to your right hip (assuming your right handed). Keeps you from swinging over the top.

Yeah, that thing is amazing. I've been trying to figure out if it's new or vintage.

Perry should just drive to the basket during the first half. Either get a lay up, get fouled, or kick it out to Kaluma or Ames. Stop chuckin' 3's in the first half.

Why do teams covet Fleck? Is it because he won 5 games last year in the weakest division in P5 and still made a bowl game?

I haven't watched any of the first half, and just saw the halftime score. Not sure if I should watch on or not.

The B12 should move all of their home games to Friday so the chiefs have an extra needed day to clean up the mess.
