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.

Hate these types of takes. Go look at the first page of this thread. The MAC is being DECIMATED by the Portal. Who knows who comes back eventually, but at the moment, Miami OH is the favorite and then it's a bunch - A BUNCH - of question marks. The only returning players so far from the All MAC First, Second, & Teams are Elmer and Skaljac. Trust in Ford and Wentz.

With the announcements from Young and Mahaffey, here is what we're looking at... Graduated Amani Lyles Shammah Scott Evan Mahaffey Tavari Johnson Portal Eric Mahaffey Sharron Young Returning (for now) Chabi Barre (6'10" F; R-Jr) Rich Brisco (6'8" F; R-Fr) Ognjen Stankovic (6'8" W; Fr) Josh Henderson (6'5" G; R-Fr) Marvin Musiime-Kamali (6'6" W; R-So) Zach Halligan (6'5" W; R-So) Cody Head (6'3" G; R-Jr) Bowen Hardman (6'3" G; Sr) Tai Perkins (6' G; R-Fr) HS Incoming Devan Christion (6'9" F) RJ Jones (6'4" G) Jashawn Ladd (6'4" G) Some thoughts... 1) It'll be interesting to see if any of the HS commits de-commit, which would be risky for them in the NIL/Open Portal landscape 2) In terms of maintaining the culture, Halligan and MMK are the most important. They've each been here ~3 years, they know the expected effort, they've seen what the program can do for players, and they seem to be great teammates. 3) What's currently remaining is actually quite respectable. There are several question marks of course (skill, experience, etc.) but that's pretty good size - especially in the backcourt - with several scholarships to offer still.

Got my hat today. Very high quality and comfortable. Looks nice.

After seeing the video, this is the least shocking result.
