College Basketball 2016-2017

Tubby Smith to Memphis. When he inevitably gets them to the tourney, that'd have to be a record right. Tourney appearances with 6 different schools?

 

The fun part of this is Texas Tech's top target to replace him is former TT assistant Chris Beard who just left AR-Little Rock to go to UNLV about a week ago. 1M buyout.

UNC hoops and football removed from the amended NCAA LOA. Really.

 

Yes, NCAA, UNC created fraudulent courses in order to keep its womens basketball players eligible for 18 years. Unreal.

It's not as though many people still had misconceptions about the NCAA as an organization, but this clearly outs them as a corrupt agency, yes?

Spike Albrecht to Purdue; seems a sizable upgrade for them at PG if he can play

they struggled against the press last year. Spike will help that.

 

Sad he ended up at another Big Ten school but I suppose it was always pretty likely.

and Kam Chatman's probably out the door too so really, who even cares anymore

I ride or die with Beilein but what the heck is going on over there. What a strange offseason, 4 transfers, mini-scandal with Spike being refused the right to transfer in the Big Ten, 2 assistants leaving, losing out on that grad transfer we wanted. Maybe nothing is going on, you can make understandable cases for everyone leaving (Spike no PT, Doyle semi forced out/not great fit with Mo's rise late, Dawkins playing with dad, Kam not living up to his top 50 recruit hype, the assistant coaches took HC jobs), but it seems strange that its all happening at once.

[sneakypower]

well he's lost out on about the last few dozen recruiting battles and i was still [ThisisFine.jpg], thinking we can just be Wisconsin or (now) Iowa with 4-year players developing into a complex offensive system, but now that's not even a possibility with these mass exoduses and seniors being replaced with an empty folding chair

 

frustrating.

I thought Spike had a potentially career ending injury? I knew Purdue was pursuing him but will he have anything left in the tank?

Illinois has dismissed Kendrick Nunn from the basketball team. Sucks for team performance, but absolutely the right thing to do.

Yeah he had to go, hurts our depth, but so what. I thought JCL was the better player by the end of the year that Nunn, but that could be shiny new toy, lol.

Seemed like a great kid. But i guess we don't really know them, it's a shame for all involved, but only Nunn's fault.

Pat Summit has passed away
