    I really hope that's not the case. Xavier has built many a good roster by developing kids, not giving up on potential, and getting old the right way. I'm not saying he should live with poor roster,...

    Okay. Well I hope Green stays patient, as I could see him becoming sort of a Lavender style player eventually. Miller will have plenty of backcourt competition.

    It's been implied on more than one post that folks are lame if they don't contribute. This whole approach is wrong minded. The whole idea of counting on the average fan to pay NIL is bad. This world...

    One major sway that OSU would have in its favor is money from that huge media contract.

    Miller might not care about his own salary, but coaches do put in a lot of time throughout the year helping...

    Parity has been rising far before NIL and transfer portals have had an impact. We've seen smaller conferences have really good teams, it's just that people could never watch them before all that...

    I noticed Miami lost to Jonas Hayes' GA State team by 20. I would be surprised if he can coach them to a .500 record this year. The MAC is pretty tough because of parity between teams, but I thought...
