BS,

One of the reasons women’s basketball has a unique appeal over men’s recently is the longevity of the star players with less early pro departures, and not as crazy roster turnover. Unfortunately, it seems like that may not be the case for the second part. However tough, have to adapt with the times. The talented group of incoming freshman will have opportunities and we will be a top destination target for portal players looking to win.

Michigan doesn’t even have WBB money like that and has a team to retain. The top WBB NIL schools are Iowa, SC, USC, UConn and Texas with 7 figures. Texas WBB is not Texas MBB.

That can’t be good to lose this much talent.

Lee/Preston expected to portal…

Him and Royal on opposite flanks would be devastating lol. I wish Texas can find a matthew golden regen though.

Yeah if you get paid 600k to go to Michigan, you’re in a pretty premier situation.

The same applies to other schools.

need to see him race a lambo on a visit

I love Justice Carlton's game too. But if someone offers you twice as much money, it's hard to say no. But I think it's a mistake. Being a Longhorn Legend can set you up for life.

I figured Crump would leave. Has Lee said she is leaving yet, I thought she would go immediately.

Thank you!

Basket Under Review with Skim Milkey and Trilly Donovan.

Selfishly, I am not enjoying the current state of college athletics. While I think that the players deserve to be paid for their efforts, the resulting disarray every off season takes away from the games I grew up watching. For example, is a billionaire from some unnamed second rate school gonna lure our best player away? Again this is selfish on my part (and I am sure many, many others) but I miss not having to learn 50% of the names of our new players every season.

What discord server?

So again, Sarks first year had Overshown, Brockermeyer, Ford and Gbenda that logged the most snaps. Tucker-Dorsey was here in 2022 with pretty much the same guys returning from 21. So, yes, I find it difficult to credit a 1 year guy for having a dramatic impact on those other guys or the “room.” @akhookem the specific reference was to the LBer group. Then random credit given to a guy for inspiring the others. That doesn’t jive given how Overshown played his butt off. I’m not sure the others effort was questioned. I also thought the moment that you’re referencing had strong ties to TVondre Sweat. Yeah, he probably wasn’t totally invested at that point. And your perspective is ignoring the fact that people react differently to adverse situations. Change in coaches and schemes, injuries, losing all can impact a players “love” for the game. Even personal life can impact it. It’s far more likely a player realizes what the game means to them at 20 or 21 than all of a sudden love it. The list of core players from 21 that were a part of 22 and 23 is decently long. If you believe Herman was a piece of work, it shouldn’t be difficult to believe he took some joy of the game from some guys.

college sports with transfers nil and other rigamarole are going downhill quickly and swiftly for me yo

Good Q. Agents may be pushing some of that, but its for the agent to make more $$$ than reality in a year IMO
