    Im not breaking any news here, but Athletics PR/comms isn’t really playing at this level. This is the kind of thing that Univeristy Communications does but there’s something of a wall between those two departments.

    Agreed. This was already going on anyway and we chose (rightly) not to participate. Now it’s in the open and we can participate, seems like a leveling of the playing field however unlevel it may remain.

    Chris Manon - Cornell Transfer - Visit 3/28

    So I get your point and recency matters for sure. But why can’t we just have an objective reading of CMs record? I mean, it is what it is. I think your argument has more weight if you state that “it’s been strong for the past XX years.” Otherwise you’re just selectively sampling which is...

    The bidding wars

    Well, it does put money in the hands of the players who arguably are the ones who deserve some form of compensation. So that’s not insignificant.

    Well he’s only been here two years and per the roster listing stats, his height hasn’t changed, 6’11”.

    You’re painting with a pretty broad brush, that’s a bit melodramatic. Lots of commentary on this board about accountability and being a more consistent postseason performer. Board isn’t the issue, and you’ll always have fans with a wide array of expectations. Yours just happen to be at the very...

    Spider Collective NIL

    I think it’s optimistic to say we have all of the characteristics to be a regular national championship contender, that pool is inhabited by a pretty small group of programs. There are plenty of folks here who aspire for UR bball to be more though. Not sure where you’re getting that people don’t care.

    While I disagree with many of VT’s positions, totally agree here. No coach would do this except under very unusual circumstances.

    Jonathan Beagle - Albany Transfer - Commit

    I’m not sure I’d pin it on King as they are totally different players, but I think CM can show the success of our recent transfers getting not just good playing time but also having success. That I expect goes a long way with anyone trying to transfer, particularly if they’ve demonstrated they...

    Jonathan Beagle - Albany Transfer - Commit

    So I think you’re agreeing with me without stating it? Beagle seems statistically to be an effective rebounder, particularly on OR. We don’t know that he’s a quick twitch guy, nor do we know he’s not. Likely he’s a positional rebounder. So are we going to make him play an in the circle pivot...

    I don’t think beagle automatically supplants Walz, mike showed some stuff and if his shooting aggressiveness gets going I like his chances.

    Jonathan Beagle - Albany Transfer - Commit

    I think this is an important point that gets lost in this conversation. So much of the gameplan has to be predicated on the players you have, not the system you run. So if we have two guys in Walz and beagle who show to be good OR guys, then coach needs to find a way to work that to his advantage.

    Jonathan Beagle - Albany Transfer - Commit

    I don’t think you can categorically say that CM lets rebounders rebound. TJ, GG and even Quinn were acceptable rebounders but the system is predicated on the 5/C getting back on D, presumably due to the perception/reality that they are slow and need the extra time so we aren’t at a man deficit...

    There’s no chance CM changes his entire philosophy just because this guy has some good OReb stats. As much as I’d love to see it, it’s just not in our DNA.

    2024 Transfer Portal Season

    Bizjacks stats weren’t eye popping. Didn’t start any games but played about 15mpg with 4.2ppg. Only 27% from three. He’d be the rare transfer down type for us and he does have three years of eligibility remaining.

    Im all for analytics but am going to hold the line on the SPLR (Spider Pride Loyalty Rating). That’s just too much data to process without a Commodore 64 or Vic20 at my fingertips.

    I have tremendous pride in UR, someone on the basketball team departing isn’t going to change that.

    Sort of a weird take. Loyalty isn’t by necessity broken by people moving on. Life and situations change. Would you cast a soldier who had fulfilled his commitment to the Army as unloyal for moving on after his time was up? I doubt it. Maybe rethink how you view this and perhaps you’ll feel a...
