Don’t necessarily disagree, but that sounds pretty culty.
Very. Love Brad and where he's got the program. Love the Vaaks pickup. But if we try to play in the B1G with the current guards we will lose games we should not.

If Blackwell is going elsewhere, we desperately need a 1 / lead guard for depth.if we're banking on Coleman or Brown to rotate at the 1, that is not ideal.

I'm not fully up on how bad his injury is or recovery is going, but I'd assume he'd be a rotation player and is leaving b/c Brad can't guarantee him starter minutes.

As much as I'd love to see Wagler as a national player of the year candidate here, he'd be nuts to not take the NBA route now.

Petrovic is the least surprising transfer in years. Stojakovich being gone would be no surprise. Rodgers would surprise me a bit.

I don't doubt that Morez got paid and it was largely about money, but I believe the grievance about not playing on the perimeter or as freely. I don't think it's a rational complaint for a freshman 4, but he's a different player at Michigan.

Oh boy, any takers, Skyy Clark got his suitcase out.
I just saw Skyy is back in the portal. I wish the kid well, but also would encourage Indiana to offer him.

Blackwell would be nice. Should consider offering Ryan a job to land him.

Larry Johnson from McNeese is in the portal. We offered him out of high school before he committed to Creighton. Worth taking now.

I think Donovan to UNC would've already happened if it was going to. Got to be Lloyd or May.

The defense in the tournament has been a massive step up from what we saw vs. Michigan or Wisconsin. Iowa got some good looks but we forced a lot of bad shots and dominated the boards.

Suck it, Iowa.

Congrats to Brad and the team. I was critical of Brad early in his tenure for the roster construction but he's been great at finding guys and building the pipelines in Europe.

Unironically, hang a fuckin banner.

We look like we've never played offense together before.

It's weird b/c being in the Elite Eight is a major accomplishment and the max of what anyone could've rationally expected in September, but losing to Iowa in a 3 vs. 9 game with the Final Four on the line would be as big of a nutpunch as the Loyola game.
