Will someone please tell me how to mute people?

Click on your profile name in the upper left hand corner, then Ignore List in the drop down, then add the user name of the person you want to ignore.

Sorry, but you asked who "we could have gotten that would have agreed to backup minutes."
How could I know - with confidence, no less - who would have agreed to backup minutes without knowing/speaking to that person or reading his mind?

One of his final four as a Class of 2025 high school recruit was Michigan.

Agreed.
All of which is another way of saying the coaches made a choice. Not filling Sheek's spot because they didn't love the options is still a choice.
I think it's a bad choice, but I'll happily be proven wrong if CH makes that long-awaited leap.

That's the point I was making.

The staff had targets with months left in the season.  The staff vetted a ton of players.  They were well prepared for the portal.  Sheek agreed to return.  There is no way that you can be prepared for every situation in today's day and age.  You're kidding yourself if you say you can.
