Re: RJ Jones - GONE

Anyway, I really feel like the sports programs, with those current NIL rules, should be completely separated from university affiliation and funding and just become the "new" professional minor leagues. I think this is where things are heading. I'm still holding out hope that if/when the Big Ten an...

Re: Portal 2024

Why are fans supposed to be loyal to a program when so few coaches and players are loyal?

Re: Thanks team.

I'm not so sure that any coach can build a program with NIL and annual free agency. It just comes down to the portal year after year and a virtual new team year after year. My guess is that the highs will be higher and the lows will be lower. I think that Coach Tang is as well equipped as any coach ...

Re: let's start a thread about past players ...

Davion Bradford has re-entered the portal. Looks like he has been with the New Mexico Aggies. Bigs seem to find new homes. Small players who are not so good may not even hook up with a team and get no College education. Hope Davion can find a home. Seemed like a nice kid when here at Manhattan. The...

Re: let's start a thread about past players ...

Davion - Kansas State, Wake Forest (?), New Mexico and next stop. Selton - I saw Selton Miguel playing in the South Florida vs. East Carolina game today. He scored a lot of points (17) but he took a lot of shots (13) to get them. He played 24 minutes. Three for nine on three point shots. He won sixt...

Re: other schools' coaching news and stuff ...

I think some of our assistant coaches may get offers. I wouldn't think that the Michigan job would be very appealing given the school having such high academic standards. Student athletes is a stupid concept now in this day and edge of NIL. Well, it sounds like in the not too distant future, univer...

Re: Crazy faith, Tang’s strong arguments why K State should be in the NCAA Tournament

It is part of the job for a coach to advocate for his team.

I would be interested in hearing what the coaches for the other barely in or barely out teams would have to say. I expect that they could make good cases too.

Re: Blow-by

It is probably better to end the handshake line because of the possibilities of a misunderstanding or even a fight.
