Quote from: JWags85 on Today at 10:39:48 AMThe amused cynic in me says it's a lot of money for a QB who was not good at ALL against Indiana, and struggled very notably against Troy and JMU, the only 2 legit programs they played in the Sun Belt. He's a solid QB, but he's not Drew Mestemaker
I think UK splashing $4-5MM for a QB is insane, cause they aren't just a good QB away from contending. However, from Leavitt's perspective, I actually totally get it.
He and his brother (who is his agent and overbearing advisor) are pretty singularly focused on his earning potential and then NFL prospects. That caused the friction at ASU that allegedly, according to some, lead to Dillingham more or less kicking him off the team.

Quote from: GB Warrior on Today at 10:24:44 AMI don't know what to make of Stefanski. He's a really good coach, no doubt about it. Seeing Florio postulate that the Packers would dump MLF for him is mostly clickbait but it's an interesting exercise. It's been years since I think Stefanski has had a CHANCE to be a good coach. But it's been long enough that I wonder if teams will be cautious.
Quote from: mug644 on Today at 09:33:55 AMThis is where the rubber meets the road--
With the RGV culture (though has that taken a big hit with Zaide leaving and Haynes being suspended) and the purported equity for NIL disbursement, why would 2 or 3 guys leave? Shaka is smart and won't want to have another season next year like this, and is (or better be) able to see the trend the team is on.
I think Shaka forcefully nudges some guys to look for other opportunities, and he will (in his fatherly way) help connect them to programs where they will get playing time. Then, the spin will be that seeing guys move on to places where they can expand their wings and move forward with their b-ball "careers" on a new path is for their Growth, and the Relationship between Coach and player will remain strong.
The next challenge for Shaka will be to let the remaining team know that Victory is as important as Growth (disagree-I think victory is more important), and that he'll be bringing in, via the portal, players that will be expected to contribute immediately.
Then, he'll have to find the right guys, at a cost that MU wants to pay and that doesn't totally blow up the Relationship culture.
None of this will be easy for Shaka (and, thus, there is a part of me that wonders if he might just choose to walk away (agree)), but I just don't see him being so stubborn that, even with the writing on the wall and the external concern about the program, he sticks exclusively with the path he's been on for every year but Year 1.
We shall see.

Quote from: mug644 on Today at 10:38:03 AMIf neither Hamilton nor Norman leave after this year, do you really think that just two roster spaces (Zaide's and Sean's--presuming your speculation about him graduating and then no longer using a scholarship plays out) is enough to make a big enough difference after this pathetic season and lack of growth from other players?
That's a big if you got there, given how we're seeing little growth in both the junior and sophomore classes this year.
