So if Fred got us to 2 final fours and retired, he wouldn’t be going out on top?

Retired! Assistant Jan Jensen named head coach. I didn’t see that coming.

Ramel just might not have returned his car, and just maybe hasn’t made his whereabouts known, and just maybe his dad isn’t cooperating either. It’s a seedy world these days.

Your imagination is correct, this wasn't remotely a surprise. Chicago Bulls docs connected to Fred have consulted on Reink's knee problems.

I got to see this in person, and it was so special. Only no hitter I have seen live. I’m so amped up it will be hard to sleep. Phenomenal effort by Brockett tonight. I’d sit in the rain anytime for this!

I don't know if this signing constitutes tea leaves, but regardless, I would not hold out hope that Rienk is playing next season.

We look like a bunch of little leaguers out there. just disgusting

How are you sure?

Hearing Kyle is visiting UCLA (when it was thought to be down to Wake and us). Maybe that's on here somewhere already, but fwiw.

Video out there showing Spinelli caring more than Barry. Those were sad times in the history of the program. A mess at head coach and athletic director.

I like punishment (thus season basketball tickets for 46 years), so I'm headed down to the park. Beautiful day at least.

I did have my first legal beer at a Husker baseball ever, so I got that going for me.

That I don't know, and I've been wrong already today....but hearing good things.

No, the visit got cancelled. It was Victor Lahkin of Cincinnati, who was set to visit until he committed to Clemson yesterday. Sorry for the false alarm.

How would you feel if we got Milicic?

Sorry, post may have been "premature" (where have I heard that before? ). Stuff changes rapidly at this time of year, visits on, then suddenly off. Sorry for the goose chase.

We're still very active. Believe a couple of guys are visiting today. Shooting guard and big post player. Somehow the post player has been under the radar.

I suppose we know this for sure if Mast is actually here, able to play. But it's doubtful he'll play. The knee is a big problem and wasn't fixed by the December procedure. Props to him for persisting and finishing the season. I doubt we make the dance if he would have ended it mid-season. I think the plan is for surgery, and the type that has him out 10-12 months. He has a great doc, through Fred's connections. But barring a surprise, you won't see him on court next fall.

We have moved on from Joseph. Griffith got the nod over him. Joseph rebounding stats poor.

Hopefully, but these kinds of decisions are made every day at portal time. How far to go on NIL with each player/agent, figuring out what's real, drawing a line knowing that's effectively letting a guy go. I'm probably stating the obvious, but this is so much about money now, rather than a better fit at a new program, etc. And on the program end, there comes a point where the price is higher than the player is good, and you have to keep some dry powder. The good news is in the play for pay era, our new AD is totally committed to that, and will overtly support 1890 until the system changes and allows direct institutional participation or changes to an employee model. Fred is very pleased with Dannen so far. Fred has almost double what he had to work with on the pay players budget from a year ago. We're all in on the current system. We're really trying to get a visit from Payne, but the NIL demands are very, very high. We're getting a visit from Essigian, assuming he doesn't commit to Indiana on his visit there. Kyle supposed to come next weekend but concerned about Wake giving him a huge number, like they did Sallis.

We don't need to sell our soul or completely change course, but we do need to get more athletic to successfully compete on an ongoing basis. It's not an all or nothing thing.

Didn't turn him down directly, but indirectly, we declined to dig deep and come close to what Xavier was willing to pay.

No P6 league for one thing.

Damn, he left us without finding the real killer.

Getting the respect I deserve!
