rumblings that terms have been agreed upon for his return

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.

Absolutely not going to happen, he isn't 19 years old. He doesn't need that anyway.

Wouldnt Lee likely make considerably more money with much less competition if she stays?

A couple of things here. First, her choice wasn't between staying and going to the wnba. Her choice was between going into her career as a counselor full time, or playing one more year while continuing to work, part time. Second, if the choice was between the wnba and coming back to play and collect some nil, she likely would have made more in the wnba, even with the tiny salary of $72,000 that she would have gotten. Endorsement deals aren't specific to college athletes and she wasn't just handed 6 or 7 figures, for nothing, like some college athletes are.

meh, players in all sports don't think about that at all and we as fans don't either. Ques Glover has had more health issues than Ayoka has. I wouldn't say no one is calling for him to hang it up for his long term health, but it certainly isn't as prevalent.

Their defense is crazy assy at home.

Before his heart "illness" I would have said the same. I just don't think he's the same dude anymore.

He landed the No. 1 transfer prospect after that, though. And I think he'll come back next year.

One might argue that younger Bill would have recognized that Knecht was the better player and he would have tried to get him instead of throwing the entire bag at one player who was presumed to be the best player. I wonder if portal season happening while he was essentially in recovery basically eliminated evaluation of the players and he saw what the nerds ranked #1 and just said, okay let's get him.

I am officially rooting for NC State cause I think only their luck can derail UConn

Purdue UConn national championship game should be aight

Regarding the Kat Williams vids in the comments, is Kat saying he turned down work with Diddy because he did not want to have sex with diddy?

yes
Kat and I are of different minds on this.  Kat says that he turned down multiple $50M offers to work with Diddy to avoid having sex with Diddy.  Personally, I would have had sex with Diddy for way less than that AND endured the detrimental career implications that may have occurred.

most hard core rappers love dong both young and old

I mean, first of all. Diddy as a hard core rapper?  :ROFL:

Second,

where was this money last portal season?

Tang and Klieman have both stated that they changed their view on nil the last year. They both have been more publicly vocal about the need to have funds. Before I think both of them, and Gene, thought the coaches could land players without significant dedicated money.

I'm not putting this with the stadium stuff in the royals thread because this is focusing on the chiefs. This is truly embarrassing.

Interesting how this season lowered Tang on Louisville's list. He appeared to be most fans #1 until midseason.

This was a narrative driven solely by one blogger, who's rarely correct. He did the same damn thing with Dusty May, often putting him and Tang on the same lists. He didn't have Tang or May going to Michigan. I knew trilly was making up crap when he insisted that tang was leaving K-State for Louisville literally as Tang was moving his elderly parents from Florida to Kansas, in the dead ass of winter.

MIR said it - Sundell and the Glenns were pretty bad yesterday (especially in the 2nd half) and their minutes/usage rates all year have been off the charts (Sundell and Jaelyn). That's on Mittie for not getting Sides and Walker - two pretty talented players - more involved in the rotation, especially earlier in the year.

There could/should be a reckoning coming this offseason into next year for those three. Sundell has to take better care of the ball (less than a 2:1 assist to TO ratio this year) and she has to be more assertive offensively. The Glenns need to produce offensively, especially Jaelyn. Ideally, their minutes/usage would go down by default next year with the assumption of Walker/Sides getting better. But, if they can't step up/improve, then more minutes should be lost. Jaelyn was 37% from 3 pt last year and was barely 30% this year. Has to be better because we need her scoring.

We have a real issue this off season. If he sticks with the Missouri 3, we run the real risk of losing Sides, Walker, and or Hess, not to mention the two other combo guards we have that didn't play this year. He screwed this roster up by how it was constructed, made it even worse by not giving Walker and Sides more minutes. I don't know how he's going to convince all 8, yes 8 combo guards we have on the roster to stay, but good luck to him. Our only signee is also a 6'0" combo guard. Dude just got a roster full of the same damn player.

This half is a bit of an indictment against our coaching staff. They keep trying to force the ball into players who aren't open. No adjustments

That sums up Mittie's entire career... he will not have a better team than this year and we couldn't even make it to the 2nd weekend.
Deb Patterson 2.0. Why didn't Maupin see more minutes?
Not an x's and o's expert but I think she would have been a liability on defense against their bigs.

Correct. She gotta hit the weights.

I mean our 1,2,3 seeds are still alive.
Lol we're only going to get two (if we're lucky) into the Sweet Sixteen out of EIGHT entries.  The ACC and Big East were right to complain about us gaming the system. Exposed

I don't want you to yell at me but I'd like to point out that you do this every year. You did it in '21 & '22 too.
That's ok. You can yell at me if I'm being obnoxious.  It won't hurt my feelings.

I don't want to yell at you, I just don't get the thought process, I never get the thought process. These teams play to their seed more often than not and the big 12 has recently been dominant in the final four. It seems weird to hold the entire conference accountable for Self having a heart attack last year and them being overseeded this year.
