Looking back at us trying to figure out how many scholarships were available for this season and next is a great example of how as fans we really have no idea wtf is going on.
For sure. He'll get whatever he wants in Fayetteville. A lot of wealth in that NW Arkansas "metro" area and the Hogs are their Pro Team.
All of us except…well nvm hahaLooking back at us trying to figure out how many scholarships were available for this season and next is a great example of how as fans we really have no idea wtf is going on.
It's fun to speculate but we only have a tiny fraction of the information that the coaching staff has and they're operating at a level that most of us will never approach in any area of our lives.
It's a good reminder to not take ourselves and our opinions too seriously. Carry on
My point was simply when you look at the records of the teams on his short list, they are all top 10 teams, with great coaches, so it doesn’t really matter what their record is. Each one of those programs is a successful program. I doubt anybody here knows exactly what Duke or Kansas’ actual record was last year. How many Purdue fans can you find off the street that could tell you exactly how many games Purdue won last year?
Whew. But you didn't say that. You said he doesn't care about the success of the programs he's considering. You did not mention records. Now you are saying he only cares about the success of the program and not their records, which is probly correct. Your previous post was simply poorly written with a poor/confusing choice of words. But thanks for the correction.
I know you hate Purdue football, but Michigan ABSOLUTELY would brag about their record
I think he meant not putting up 25 points vs us in an E8 OT game and denying us of a F4
Yeah ... I don't walk into my Mackey office around 5 am, check twitter and email and spend my whole day on the phone with recruits and coaches ... meetings with my fellow coaches ... do dah day.Looking back at us trying to figure out how many scholarships were available for this season and next is a great example of how as fans we really have no idea wtf is going on.

Please don’t forget to take your meds. You pretty much got a backhanded compliment and instead of going with it you walked back what you said without saying it.
Oh I was making fun of myself as one who follows this board/responds a lot and checks in a lot on recruiting on twitter 😂
I highly doubt it. They may brag about their championships. But when you win championships, you no longer brag about your actual record or standings!
Looks like what we expected except for Arkansas that seemed to be making a late push.
And you still have yet to tell us why he doesn’t fit in…but please don’t say he wants to play x position because Purdue doesn’t let that position play x position….similar to what you said of Sisley which was proven to be false.
You clearly don't know any Michigan fans. They will brag about anything.
If this does happen, would be great to get one of khemenia, singleton or Williams-Adams
A Russian walks into a bar and sits down next to an American. The guy next to the Russian turns and says, "I was wondering is there a word in Russian for a conceited a-hole?"
This might be meaningless observation, but his presentation looks intentionally organized with alternating Big Ten and SEC on the top and the Indiana schools on the flanks and the bluebloods on the bottom with the two time national champ in the middle.
is Myles smiling is the only relevant question.
So…painter was onto something….
He was… isn’t also part of the NCAA working groups for rule changes?
Yeah he’s part of the at group or board…he def knew something last year and that’s why he didn’t care if he was “over signed”
I brought that up a couple times but was roundly criticized or told that paint would not know those kind of things if others weren’t aware. Well maybe he did, he’s fairly well connected and in tune to what is going on I believe.
Yes, and I agreed with you but was also told that there was no way he knew more than other coaches. Oh well, looks like he did.
Tbh, I, unfortunately, don’t think the ncaa cares about them.
It could also increase the number of transfers out of the power schools as it will only make playing time that much harder to earn. Players used to wait their time in the old days when there was 15 scholarships, but transferring is so easy now, a lot of players are not going to stay that patient.
You make a good point and I'd imagine that both will happen. Given that all D1 basketball schools have the same scholarship limits, I'd guess that the immediate impact is that more high-quality players migrate from low and mid-major to high-major rosters, but as you pointed out, after a couple of years that starts to even itself out as players don't find playing time and transfer out.
I came across this. So if correct you could give partial scholarships up to the total of 15 which would create more roster spots evidently. Just one source so 🤷🏼♂️
Many transfers are due to getting “creaned.” So this may reduce that as coaches may be willing to let scholarship players stay and essentally Take the 86-105 spots as they still likely would be better than a typical walk-on.
