Diebler is chosen to lead Ohio State, watched presser, I think Diebler is the perfect hire for the school, ties, Dad coaching, recruiting...etc. Watching the presser, almost seemed as if I was watching/feeling like sometime B1G happening. We will see over time.
FAITH in God is very apparent, and will serve him well. Seems like a very good young coach @ 37, The Ohio State could have done much worse.
Open Positions:
Louisville
Michigan
Okla State
Stanford
Vanderbilt
Washington
10 other mid major openings as well.
-
Rumblings about Dusty May leading for Louisville? He can do so much better than that dumpster fire.
Michigan would be far better for him, mid west recruiting, B1G exposure in an expanding P-5, and status program. Way more so than Louisville imo.
SMU will have a HUGE NIL package and be able to get some serious talent with their recent head scratching firing.
Okla State Not a bad choice either, second tier at best though.
Many others yet to open but those are the best choices for May.
-
Dusty May to Michigan.. Don't know anything about him but his name sounds like a lady porn star
-
Not too concerned.
-
From Peoria. Indiana grad (Knight student manager) and former assistant at EMU so it makes some sense, although the run last year was because Purdue majorly helped them out, but the guy has FAU at 8-9-seed level, and for Michigan that'd be a major improvement right now.
-
May to Michigan, should equate to some good talent in Ann Arbor. May is young, enthusiastic and willing to take this school back to where it belongs. Would rather of had him going elsewhere though....he will make a dent in the B1G, imo.

Now that there is funny, I don't care who ya are

So they replaced a guy that did less with a great deal of talent (by MVC standards) for...basically the same guy.

Lot of smoke going on here....

Smart move for Enfield if this actually happens.

Pat Kelsey to Louisville after May goes to Michigan.
I actually think both schools in turmoil got good coaches to help them build back up....funny thing is May is a very good get for Michigan, Kelsey is probably the better long term coach....Louisville wins this one imo.

In the span of a couple of weeks Keatts went from likely being fired to probable 4 year extension.

Eric Musselman to USC
Good hire from a conference movement standpoint, not sure as of a day ago, that they had any other legit candidates actually.
-
So fucked up that USC is in the B1G
-
Saw an article about Skyy Clark heading back to the Big Ten, and I thought to myself…”I thought he was headed to UCLA?” Doh!
-
So fucked up that USC is in the B1G
It's fucked up for sure, but just another step towards 4 mega conferences and the tv rights and governance rules that will come with. NCAA, see ya.
But UCLA and USC moving to the Big10 doesn't have the geographical hilarity of Cal, Stanford and SMU moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference.

True. I just hate it all and hope this isn’t the beginning of the end for college sports as we know it, even though I know it is.
I’ve always liked college sports better than pro but I have relied increasingly heavily on college to get my sports fix. If college gets as corporate and uninteresting as pro sports I may have to just reinvest my time into other things.
-
True. I just hate it all and hope this isn’t the beginning of the end for college sports as we know it, even though I know it is.
Yeah it is for sure. It’s never gonna have the same feel as when it was more regional. Now it’s basically all about the money. For players, coaches, schools, television, etc… it loses some of its luster and passion.
-
Minnesota kid, Dawson Garcia, is staying with the gofs saying he's proud to put on the Minnesota jersey to represent the state school. He's turned down more NIL money at other schools to stay home.
golds! golds! golds! golds! golds!

Don’t let Custard bully you (don’t think we have to worry about that, but just sayin’)! Hold out until you get a fair offer or take your bitching elsewhere! People will pay good money for that!

Cal getting NBA talent at Arkansas and beating UK should he fun. Those fans don't deserve nice things.
-
I wonder who's going to be coaching UK
most of the good coaches already snapped up, they will have to pay out the ass I'm sure
-
Pitino
-
Donovan or the Baylor coach
-
Donovan
Was just going to post this.
-
I'd guess Sampson
-
Maybe it'll be Brad, and Chin and Antigua won't have to sell their houses.

The game @Rupp is gonna be insane.
-
Avila is a good player, no where near high caliber B1G night in and night out, and not nearly athletic enough for what BU wants.
-
Nate Oats will not be in KU, WAY to big of a buyout even for Kentucky.
I would not be surprised to see them go for what many may call a 2nd tier coach, they I don't think can or want to get Sampson, Pearl, Oats, Wright, or Donovan.
Pope is a name I would not be surprised to see them make a run at.

Scott Drew…

Scott Drew…
I don't see Drew being interested honestly, what he has built at Baylor, plus he just signed another new contract as well. Kentucky is what it is, but Baylor is not a bad gig right now with portal potential etc....the NIL would be outrageous there, but it isn't bad at Baylor either.

Maybe Bruce Weber gets a text from the UK AD 😂

It wouldn't hurt!

It's a good bet he'd be flattered.
-
He could hold a mock funeral for Cal. Have the ceremony when Arkansas comes to visit and kicks Bruce’s ass.
-
I love you guys 😂
-
Kentucky always seems to live on the fringe....how about
Will Wade NIL takes away any suspicions
Steve Alford, Indiana boy commits blasphemy and goes to the Blue Side?
Bruce Pearl, he would actually make Kentucky even more hated than normal, would be a great fit though in reality.
Greg McDermott, pedestrian for rabid fans and boosters, probably should stay the big fish in a small pond at Creighton.
Sean Miller, maybe the most realistic choice, but may have an allegiance to Xavier for chance given there?
Buzz Williams or Chris Beard are real longshots and probably won't be contacted imo.
-
How bout the Iowa State coach?
-
How bout the Iowa State coach?
He has been mentioned, however I think you are thinking of the wrong one in regards to the one that is most likely to get this gig outta the two of them. Hoiberg would be the preferred choice over TJO.
-
Look for there to be some smoke building around Kentucky hiring of Tommy Lloyd from Arizona.
He signed a new contract, but Tucson or Lexington? Buyout is 12 mil, sure Kentucky can scratch that together.
Lloyd is a west coast guy, but an international recruiter, he is now at AZ which is in financial dire straights. He also will have an outrageous amount of NIL funding to work with.
Don't be surprised with this one, it may happen.

That meme never gets old.
-
I can't imagine Hoiberg wanting that job.
-
Tommy Lloyd is certainly one way UK could make their program even more dispicable.
-
I can't imagine Hoiberg wanting that job.
Yeah he’s a midwestern guy and it seems like a weird fit, but taking over a blue blood for with enormous resources for a top 5 salary seems like it would be tough to pass up. If he’s ever going to have a chance to win a title and kind of complete his redemption tour, this might be his chance. He sticks around at Nebraska and they revert to the mean and he may struggle to get another opportunity of that caliber.
-
True. I wouldn't bet on them reverting to mean though. At some point Kansas will likely open as well and there's a nonzero chance he goes there if he wants a blue blood.
Lloyd is interesting in that I think he's solid but seems to have the same issue Cal did where he can recruit but then not necessarily win big with top talent when it matters.
-
But it would not surprise you if it didn't?

50% of the time I am 90% surprised about what happens on here.

There also will NOT be any future bumps in pay/bonus' etc due to how much of $$$ issue the school has currently.

Never won a tourney game. UK fans should be absolutely thrilled with that LOL

Lol. Isn't BYU the school that suspended a player for having sex?
Kentucky is like going to hell scenes in SouthPark.

He played there so it makes sense, although they won't hesitate to eat him alive anyway.

Anyone still thinking "it'd be totally fine if Underwood left" should consider this.

I'd like to change my vote. 8)

One would think that a Blue Blood is limited to either an established Top Tier coach (which KY shot after) or a former player (which KY got). Illinois is not in that position.
-
Hahahahaha
-
Hahahahaha
Certainly has seemed to play out that way. Meamwhile Illinois gets Weber, Groce, and Underwood. Not as if KY was looking at Underwood after that 30-0 run.
-
Mark Pope has never won a tournament game - but I knew I could count on you, like in almost every other circumstance, for a laughably bad take.

You should realize you are not as smart as you think you are to be such an arrogant, insufferable twat. But we all have our foibles.

Ooh, got under the trolls skin a bit there.
Anyway, you’re a joke as you’ve been for many years. You keep up the worst possible takes and I’ll keep laughing at you for them.

According to the reddit, Pope had BYU with higher kenpom ratings than UK in 3 of the last 5 years

So yes that's true that 3/5 years they have finished ahead of UK, but over that span, BYU average final KP ranking is 37.2 and UK's is 26.8.
I think there's a reasonable chance Pope ends up as being a good hire, sometimes people figure it out when they have more resources etc. But there'll be a lot of pressure, a lot of rebuilding to do, and he has no high-level success to point to really. Certainly to go from Hurley/Drew/Wright/Donovan as your primary targets to getting a dude who's never won a tournament game is something, our fans would riot and we are not UK.

Hahahahaha keep it up man. It's hilarious watching you flounder.
Very few people here manage to make fools of themselves as consistently as you do. It's always a good time.
They didn't want Underachiever because his team gave up a big run to the back-to-back champions in the E8, so they picked the dude they'd rather have who's never won a tournament game. Just absolutely hilarious stuff.
-
They went to a former player when they struck out with the big guys. They did not go to a John Groce Flavor of the Month Hire, now did they?

Good. I'm glad we aren't in the position of hiring a coach and ending up with somebody like Mark Pope. That's a positive for this program, which is why idiots and trolls take it as a negative.
They would NEVER have hired the guy who got smoked by the champs in the Elite 8, so instead they hired the guy who was in the same region but got upset again in the first round and has never won a tournament game. Beautiful.

He's a former KY player that they settled for. Which was the point.
KY is never going to look at Underachiever.
-
If KY wanted Underachiever he would be gone.
-
Good. Our coach has a hell of a lot better resume than the guy they hired. That's a good thing for us.
Meanwhile, while the bluest of blue blood targeted Hurley/Donovan/Drew/Wright and got Mark Pope, you still think it'd be fine if Underwood left.
I'm sure we'd do better though - how could we do worse than Underachiever after all? He got smoked by UConn in the Elite 8!
I'm just glad we don't have morons like you running the program. It's why we're nationally relevant again.
-
If KY wanted Underachiever he would be gone.
If your history is any indication, this probably means they asked him and he turned them down.
A dude who has the worst take on literally everything. It's almost impressive.
If it's true, then I'm glad. We have a better coach than the guy they got.

Illinois to KY is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Illinois can hire an up and comer like Bill Self back in the day. KY isn't doing that unless the guy is a former player.

He would have taken the job if he was asked, and the money was right, of course. Who is sticking at Illinois when you can be the KY coach?

You really think KY and Illinois are analogous? LOL.
-
Maybe KY texted Underachiever. It could not hurt to do so.
-
You really think KY and Illinois are analogous? LOL.
Nope, I think UK is typically going to be a bigger draw for coaches than Illinois is. Which is why I find it so funny that you think we’d do so much better than they did in our coaching search in the same situation.
The bluest blood program targeted the best coaches in the game, got turned down by all of them, and settled for their 5th choice who’s never won a tournament game. But Illinois would do better if their coach left.

Nice strawman. I said they are not analogous and don't swim in the same pond. KY either goes after top tier coaches, which Underachiever is not one of them, or former players. They are not looking at Underachiever or the Latest Tournament Flash In The Pan like John Groce. What happened to KY has absolutely nothing to do with Illinois searching for a new coach, like a young up and coming coach, in the event Underachiever went to Kansas State.

I mean still, that's pretty impressive considering the limited recruiting pool you have at a place like BYU compared to Kentucky

Good to see you engaging in the same intellectual dishonesty you perpetually accuse Tempo of.
-

As I mentioned, I think Pope is a solid coach with a chance at being a good hire. Obviously people would lose their minds if we made a hire like that just like UK fans are though.
It’s a long way off from Billy Donovan and Jay Wright that’s for sure.

You know the ex-BYU coach got the KY job because he went to KY....

what about Painter, why not go for him since he owns Underwood and KU
-
It’s not intellectually dishonest to mock dipshits with terrible takes
You just created a Strawman and attacked. Just like you accuse Tempo of doing. Of course this occurred since what I originally posted was accurate.
-
Hahahaha nah, I made fun of how bad your actual take on the situation is.
It’s very, very bad! But that is “shooting par” for you these days.
-
I’m sure if Underachiever moved on we wouldn’t end up with a Mark Pope type hire, we’d get the next Bill Self.
Just a chef’s kiss
-

Good question. Would he be considered a Top Tier coach? He isn't a former KY player, obviously.
-

Just a chef’s kiss
Well, Guenther struck gold. Maybe Guenther, Jr. too could find an up and comer.

The post was completely accurate. As you have admitted.

We aren't hiring a head coach. He would upgrade the defense.

Maybe he will promote Tyler.

I really don’t care if Chester leaves. I feel like he’s totally replaceable. Just keep Hansberry if at all possible.

Where is PMSman blaming this on the 30 - 0 run?

Where is PMSman blaming this on the 30 - 0 run?
Valid. All our guys shot like pre-senior Chester during that run.
-
If Chester wasn't 100% on the same page; it's better he moves on.
I don't think he was upset that his guys were being recruited over, or that he expected Butler to receive guaranteed tick.
He may have disagreed with the general approach of recruiting the portal over high school prospects and specific portal targets, like Booth > Corhen?

Good variation on the We Didn't Want Him Anyway meme.
-
I think any number of things are possible. Chet's at a point where he may need to move a bit and build his network, particularly in the east, for him to get a head coaching gig he would actually be interested in (like a Patriot League or Northeast gig, maybe even A10). Also possible he's overall ticked at being down the pecking order and having a guys like Hansberry or Harris recruited over. Also possible he and Brad just don't get along.
Hope we can retain Hansberry as I think he's in line to a be a solid rotation guy next year whether we sign a new 4/5 or not.
-
Did Frazier have a specific role on staff designated for which he was in charge?

Frazier would be a good fit at like Temple, St Joe's, those type of starter lower level schools as of now.

Cal is taking the entire Kentucky staff with him to Arkansas. The Pope should have no trouble getting his own disciples though.

There’s no joke Jobu isn’t willing to recycle.

But it would not surprise you if it didn't?
That meme never gets old.
Never!
-
Oooo Tempo is gonna be delighted with that news! They’ll be a contender for years to come with that hire!
Yet another mischaracterization of my comments that has been etched into meme legend.
-
LOL. Reggie Theus too?
And another…
-
Maybe KY texted Underachiever. It could not hurt to do so.
You guys are rolling here.
-
It is intellectually dishonest to make strawman arguments. You have learned well from Tempo. Congrats!
Good stuff.

Chester Frazier to WVU. Hansberry rumored to be following him there.
I just saw on the Google Chester left. Anyone know why?
-
It’s actually the reason I opened this abortion of a thread.
-
Where is PMSman blaming this on the 30 - 0 run?
That’s funny.
-

Well played.

That’s funny.
I thought so too.

Frazier still not announced by WVU as a coach added as of 1 day ago via https://www.smokingmusket.com/2024/4/15/24126138/west-virginia-mountaineers-wvu-football-basketball-baseball-sports-big-12-ncaa-news-links.
Was he waiting on Hansberry to hit portal for anything to become official? We will see soon how the ILLINI will be building more and I think it will start to happen rapidly.

Frazier made $750,000 roughly here and Antigua was at $850,000 there...easily doable, can Whitman and Underwood boogie fast enough to make it happen?
-
Sounds like we’re gonna be getting Orlando Antigua back…

Transfers to follow is mentioned in one of the comments. How many more roster spots are open at this point?

Big if true

3 or 4. Domask will fill one of he comes back.

If it’s true it will come out from actual credible sources.

No shit Sherlock! This is a message board. Specifically for sharing information like this and discussing it 🥴

Tell us what you think about Tempo using the “r” word…

Orlando for Chet. To quote Dances with Wolves, “good trade.” Did I quote that ok?

Did not see that coming.
The guy has a network.
Going to be interesting.

Didn't see it.
It's a pretty fucked up word to use though.
-

I should make a Twitter account and start posting random shit with no credibility. People seem to eat that up.
-
FWIW it seems like Antigua is likely. But it isn't done, and there's no reason to hang on every word from Twitter randoms.
-
I’m glad you’re here to talk some sense into us and tell us what to do/think. It’s great! Again, no shit Sherlock. It’s a message board to discuss shit like that.
-
If it’s true it will come out from actual credible sources.
Ah yes, when I told you what to do and think.
The usual level of brilliance, your honor.
Do and think whatever stupid shit you want, obviously.
-

Hilarious that you tattled on me like a 2nd grader. So incredibly not shocking. I already explained that I don’t like the word, and wasn’t proud that I used it.

I thought perhaps Chester Atkins had risen from the dead.

Domask turning heads at PIT
Hawkins talking like he'll be back.
1. Goode likely back
2. Rodgers likely back
3. Gibbs-Lawhorn likely back
4. Johnson
5. Jakstys
6. Davis
7. White
8. Boswell
9. Booth
10. Moretti possibly gone

For the record, I don't care what words you use. I just find it humorous that Spark, in the not so distant past, has had meltdowns about people's use of certain words. You apparently get a pass.
Good for you, I suppose.
And for future reference, when you're posting and you type out a word, you can erase it before you hit send.
Carry on.

As I said, Spark probably wasn’t reading that abortion of a thread.
Aye aye, Sir.
-
I don’t think he’d posted in that thread for many many pages, so I doubt he noticed. I got 20 pages behind in many deuce threads lately.
-
Eh. I think he reads pretty much everything. But I don't know for sure and I don't give a shit.
After he was notified, his response was not near as inflammatory as his usual. Again, good for Tempo. You can say whatever the fuck you want without Spark calling you out and making you feel like the worst person on earth. That's great!
You basically lost your shit and used a slur against people that have developmental and cognitive disabilities. I don't really care, but I've said things on here that were benign compared to that, and Spark had a definite negative response to it.
When Judy called it to his attention, he basically said nothing. I think Spark wants to fuck you, to be honest. Why wouldn't he have destroyed you for saying that shit? He is supposedly some kind of strong guy with strong beliefs on shit. But he's largely silent on this.
I find it interesting. And yet, I don't really care all that much at the same time. Quite the paradox.
-
Well thankfully we’ve got people like you and JJ policing such important matters.
-
You just wrote 4 paragraphs on it. I’d say it seems to bother you.
-
Haha, nah. Not so much a bother, as an observation on how shit works with certain people.
-
Maybe you should call me a retard, Tempo.
-

Sure. Do it.

Spark literally came here to “police” people and tell us what his righteous ass thinks, you fucking retard!
-
Sorry, I couldn’t resist and feel bad about saying it now. Sorry, Tempo and Spark.
-
Spark literally came here to “police” people and tell us what his righteous ass thinks, you fucking retard!
Oh shit. You just rang the Spark bat signal. He's going to fire on your ass. Be ready, Judy.
-
Fuck that retarded faggot!
-
Oh fuck. I said it too, but at least I just typed out the word, and didn't call someone that.
Maybe it matters, maybe it doesn't. Who am I to say.
-
It’s ok as long as you “feel bad and apologize” for it I’ve heard…
Did I use quotes right on that?
-
Tired of the double standards. If you want to call someone a retard, own it. Don't do it, then say, oh gee, I hate that word and I regret using it.
Use it or don't. Don't be a pussy about it. The word popped into your mind. Which means you're no better than anyone else. So stop fucking acting like it.
Same goes for Spark for his bullshit selective outrage. Zero respect. Fuck him.

I don’t have a dog in this fight but I want to note that we saw Tom Segura last Friday night @ Bridgestone and I am, to no one’s surprise, on board with Tom that we need to bring the r word back.
-
I think its fine as long as you aren't making fun of retarded people directly. Big difference between saying your friend is doing something retarded vs insulting mentally handicapped directly for something they can't control. But yeah I'm an insensitive jerk or whatever mean things you want to call me I guess.

I really don't have a problem with the word itself. I understand that, like other words, it's become largely taboo. And I also understand that a certain poster on here had mad outrage on its use a while ago. Until his buddy Tempo used it, by calling someone a "fucking retard". Now, it's apparently not as big of a deal.
Sorry, I think selective outrage is bullshit, and it shows what kind of a person someone really is.

Tony Bennett retiring three weeks before the season opener. Sources say it's not health related. Very odd timing. Probably got tired of dealing with the NIL and portal.
