Interesting! With today's transfer rules a mid-major could use that as a selling point to 3&4 star recruits quite easily.Originally posted by TrackSuitAndTie View Post
Come to my school where you won't have to compete with 4&5 star guys for playing time, while playing against D1 competition. After a year or 2 of experience you can transfer to one of those blue bloods for even greater completion and nba recognition.
Kind of a prep school at the college level. Rice gets a year or 2 out of a kid and the kid gets nba training and D1 experience. You know, kind of like TE at WSU without the nba training part. Well I guess IB tried.Comment

That’s a farm club, no thanks. One and done for a non P5 now means one year then transfer.Comment

I watched a replay of the WSU/AAC media day.
Aside from Mark Adams, and to no offense to CP…Zzzzz.
Part of me feels sorry for IB…just don’t think the guy could get a starving man fired up about an all you can eat buffet.
I realize, nothing new here. Just frustrating. I hope they do well, just not expecting it.Comment

"...Here, we've predicted the top 2022-23 men's college basketball coach in each league based on the following criteria: the talent they've retained or added to their roster -- critical in the transfer portal and NIL eras -- their history of exceeding expectations and their ability to help their squad reach its highest potential. We've also looked at the coaches who could give our candidates their stiffest competition. Yes, some of this is subjective. Most of the coaches are at this level because they've proved they're good at what they do...."
American Athletic Conference
Kelvin Sampson, Houston Cougars
Sampson has a lot to work with in this Final Four potential squad, with Marcus Sasser (17.7 PPG) and Tramon Mark (10.1 PPG) both back after missing most of last season due to injury, and top-10 recruit Jarace Walker now anchoring his frontcourt.
Penny Hardaway, Memphis Tigers
With the NCAA infractions case behind him, Hardaway will guide a team led by SMU transfer Kendric Davis (19.4 PPG) and returnee DeAndre Williams (11.1 PPG), who should give the Tigers a shot at the AAC title, despite losing multiple starters from last season.Comment
