Any local companies want to do this for Akron?

He hasn't signed that extension to my knowledge, and him not leaving says a lot about what CBB thinks of his abilities.

Not sure he offers anything in Kentucky/Illinois/Indiana we didn't already have, but it never hurts to be strong in Illinois/Kentucky/Indiana for basketball. Spending 6 seasons in Fargo/the Summit League could be also be very advantageous.

Their crash is going to be hilarious. 1) They almost have to play a tougher schedule because every legitimate P4 under the sun is going to want to shut them up for all the yapping they did this year about nobody playing them. Not to mention they won't dodge second games vs. Akron & Kent. 2) Their top talent that gave them the mismatch advantages they had is all either in the Portal or graduated. 3) I doubt they experience the same friendly whistle treatment they benefitted from all year. When they go back to averaging 2k fans at most per game, good luck dealing with the donors forking over tens of millions for the new arena that was sold to them based on a fluke season.

GREAT addition. Comes from a winning program.

At this particular point in time, I guess that's true. How long that statement remains true, I don't know. Woolfolk was a senior - does he have another year of eligibility somehow? They're losing ~half their PPG, all of their matchup advantages, and the returning pieces of Skaljac/Kirby/Atlason/Ipsaro aren't overly special. Most of the MAC teams will be able to find comparable pieces in the Portal in all likelihood. Every team for the most part is being decimated nowadays by the Portal. 3 of the worst programs in the MAC had coaching changes along with the top team in the MAC. Not to mention we're finally dropping the boat anchor that was NIU. It's hard to say if the MAC will be down, how much it'll be down, etc.

Miami OH, as of now, has lost everything that made them special. Skaljac is the only returning threat and I'm curious to see if he's as productive without Elmer/Byers/Suder spreading the floor. Wouldn't be surprised if he hits the Portal knowing the supporting cast is gone.

Only Skaljac remains (for now).

YEESSSSS

We'll likely find out today or tomorrow.

Burn it all down, Kenni! We're rooting for you!

If we can find a way to achieve this while increasing the size of our backcourt, look out.

Happy Easter!

Sharron's official statement.

LeBron said the same thing lol. Are you on LBJ's payroll?

Not sure where to put this, but here seems semi pertinent.

The Wentz model isn't about gear being sold from what I can tell. It's about long-term financial security and being rewarded for sticking around the program.

This is where the FTRC/Wentz model becomes so important. It honors the true nature of NIL and long term wealth management.

Maybe this forces reciprocity as the solution, but I'm not seeing a willingness by the suits to put logical, common sense restrictions on the current system. Who knows how this holds up in court or what it results in, but at least it's an action in the right direction.

Interesting connection. Love that there's familiarity.

He had a winning record as Concord's HC in 10 seasons or so, and they've been on our schedule at least a couple times. I like the hire and like you said, bringing someone in that knows the D2 level could be advantageous in finding undervalued talent.

Help is on the way?

Looks like Josh Henderson is staying. He reposted a Dustin Ford tweet and also just followed me on X.
