Yeah, I’m not dating Underwood was the mastermind of SFA’s cheating, but it’s unlikely he was in the dark.

Whaaaa 🤨

You strengthen my point. You find Illinois’ success lacking. An ASU fan has never really tasted the level of success Illinois would call “failure.”

Do you think Calipari’s ultimate goal each year is “to make the Final Four?” Hell, no. His goal is to win the damn thing. More often than not.

And to make more money which you won't get from a mid major. Ergo they are called mid majors.

Where were Pitino and Calipari MOST successful? I’ll hang up and listen to your answer.

Who is to say they would not have been as successful if they had stayed? We can say they would not be as wealthy.

Again. Calipari won “biggest” at Kentucky. And it isn’t close when you consider everything in bulk. It’s not just the coach. The program matters. And some programs are easier to win at than others. As I said, Illinois has at least contended for Final Fours under 6 coaches in 40 years. ASU has never.

Which 6 coaches did Illinois contend for the Final Four under?

Calipari won the title at UK, yes.  He played for it at Memphis.  He was one game away from playing for at UMass.  To pretend those results aren’t very comparable is wild.  They are.  He has had great results everywhere - he didn’t have mediocre results at UMass because it’s a mid-major, which is what you would expect if your overall point about Hurley having a mediocre record because of ASU’s history was accurate.

It’s far more likely that Underwood and Hurley’s results aren’t comparable because one of them is a notably better college basketball coach than the other.

Calipari was very good at Memphis. He was GREAT at Kentucky. 4 Final Fours and a title > 1 Final Four

So again, tell me where he has/had the higher ceiling.

His ceiling was a national title at both places, obviously.  Didn’t matter whether he was at a mid major or the bluest of blue bloods - his ceiling was the same.

He didn’t have a Hurley-esque record at UMass and Memphis even though they aren’t as good historically as other programs.  He had a similar record at those mid majors as he does at Kentucky.

It’s kind of incredible you still seem to think this was a good example.  It was literally the worst one you could’ve picked, completely undercuts your point about Bobby Hurley.  You’d expect him to have mid major type results at UMass if program history was the dictating factor.  He didn’t, he had results just like the ones he had at a blue blood.

No real B1G recent news in portal, none really expected until I would guess mid May...due to timelines/committal/withdraw etc.

BU is on record as wanting solid PG...(my guess that kid hasn't even announced as of yet) and some interior help. I would think the kid from Notre Dame that is transferring is one they may be looking at. Ven-Allen Lubin 6'8" 228 solid freshman for Notre Dame.

Brey on Lubin

“Ven-Allen is a positionless basketball player. He has the ability to post up, face up, run and change ends. He also brings great length on the defensive end.”

Thanks.
A pg with some experience who might stay for more than a year would be nice.

So now you’re going to replace objective results with “supposing.” Where did Calipari start getting his BEST results? Where did Roy finally WIN titles? Where did Pitino reach the HEIGHT of his success?  Where did Self win two titles and earn a perpetual 1 seed? It seems safe to say that these legendary coaches achieved their GREATEST success at the most prestigious programs they coached at. It’s not a coincidence.
