Not in December.  In December, with his Ayers, should still be focused on the season at hand and how these players can get better.   The time for discussing next season with the players is after this season.

So it sounds like anyone can now pay college basketball.  No eligibility restrictions.   Excellent.

100%, he should be having these discussions, why not? Talk to a player about his abilities or lack thereof, in the context of playing time and areas of improvement. Start the path to roster change asap.

Should be fired....this sounds like RGV hyperbole and is not realistic in Div 1 basketball. Let's also hand out participation trophies and have group hugs after every 20 point loss.

Quote from: BCHoopster on Today at 12:25:58 AMRedshirts now are ridiculous, MU needs a scorer right now, having a player for 3 years is fine, they will have enough time to find somebody else. MU needs help now, still have 19 games to play.  Let's see what he can do, has to be better then what they have now.

I'm not sure why we'd assume a kid who's never played in North America (other than perhaps a youth tourney) and apparently had no other known offers would be better that what they have right now.
Regardless, burning a year or eligibility on half a lost season is a waste. Let's say the kid is great ... what does that do for us? Win 12 games instead of 10? No matta.

Quote from: Dish on December 27, 2025, 10:16:51 PMJordan Love will infinity percent be on the Packers roster next year. He has maybe the most untradeable contract in the NFL this coming offseason.

The Packers are never going to eat $98.4 million in dead cap money.

Keeping a quarterback whose backup is better then (hypothetically) and getting rid of the backup due to worrying about dead cap is such a bears thing to do.

Whoever comes out of the wildcard into that 2 seeed will be salivating dodging the eagles.

Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on December 27, 2025, 11:07:06 PMThis guy played in 8 NBA games and is probably about to be back in College Basketball. If this goes through it is going to be hard to be an invested fan as long as this is allowed. There's no point in caring anymore when teams can just add NBA players when things go south for them. That's not how this is supposed to go.

Dwayne wade, vander blue, Dwight buycks..... run it back.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 07:33:27 AMHow did they drop the ball? Players, fans and lawmakers wanted this to create equity. College sports finally is run like the professional sports that is had become.

Not sure if this is serious.

Assuming this is, it became clear NIL was coming and they were going to get destroyed in court. They needed to put a structure in place back in 2019 and here we are years later with no one knowing the rules. Between the current NCAA Tournament contract and NIL, I'm not sure any sports administrator has failed more completely than Mark Emmert did.

Well, at least us sucking also coincides with the complete implosion of everything that made College basketball worthwhile
