Re: Coaching Carousel

Super bummed about this. He lives north of the city so maybe a little easier commute for him. Saw him out a few times and was always super nice and willing to chat. Met his brother in DC this year, great guy as well. Tough loss for the program. This was actually his first NCAA tournament appearance ...

Re: 2026 Transfer Portal

Athletes get exactly five years of eligibility to compete for five seasons, no redshirts, five year clock starts upon high school graduation or turning 19, lots of seniors would suddenly be eligible again.

If you think things have been crazy so far, pandemonium will break out if they implement the 5x5 rule this far into the process.

This is a good idea. I'll set this up for the next get together, should have a folding laptop or tablet we can use.

Re: Suggestion for New meet ups

Much appreciated Stu for organizing the event, finding the venue, and the fun time had by all. We had the deputy AD/CRO join us. Great to get some info as to what's going on, things that don't really need to be private (e.g. pitino I know and is public knowledge that he has a contract at St John's t...

Re: Board NIL donation

Thanks - understood that everyone's situation is different. Even a small donation gets us closer to the goal and would be incredibly appreciated. I'll be reaching out to people outside of the board as well.

Going rate for p4 starting guards is upwards of 3 million

FYI Louisville might spend 30 million on NIL this year

He didn’t play at all this past season Loyola Marymount. Anyone know why?
Found out last night that he didn't like his situation and didn't want to burn his last year of eligibility so he redshirted.
Good info going around at the meetup - hope more of you can make it next time!

Board NIL donation

As much as we might hate it, NIL is reality. The school wants to raise between 1.5 and 2 million in NIL funds to be in the upper half of CAA schools next season. Speedy is working hard retooling for next year, driving recruits around campus as I post this. This board has some of the most passionate ...
