And Kelvin has publicly stated NIL impacts their recruiting negatively.
I said, in my post, there are some exceptions but by in large NIL matters in recruiting.
My own opinion but you could take what you consider the best coaches in America year in and year out....MOST would list guys at elite schools (there are exceptions) but those guys USUALLY have elite talent.
Alot of times the Jimmy's and Joe's will trump the Xs and Os.
Great players make really...
These are the alleged NIL numbers for the SEC. If those are true (and Dennys interview seemed to allude to that) if we can just get to 10 mil-12 mil range i think you'll see some good things happen. We seem to get decent guards.....if we could get 2 really solid bigs and one legit scorer to go...
Im interested to see what kind of resource commitment we are talking about. I do think we are behind on the NIL front but millions aren't changing our atrocious offense.
I stand corrected. You are right. I misread that.
Back to the drawing board...against a team that seems to have PM's number.
We seem to collapse more against TAMU than a house of cards in a windstorm.
Im not defending PM. He deserves every bit of heat he gets. But, some of you guys rip him to shreds when they underperform (again, he deserves the criticism) but give him zero credit when they perform well (like the current streak).
He hasn't been nearly as good as we'd all like but he isn't as...
Dude....in the past I defended him but I have said I'm good with getting rid of him now.
My point was simply that getting rid of PM doesn't make our shortcomings disappear. It just passes them on to the next guy.
I've always said I hate PMs offense. I also hate his inbound plays. We have been...
We can fire Moser today and the facts are...any coach brought in will be handcuffed by the same problems we already have.
We can try to deny those and try to say "this doesn't matter or that doesn't matter" but they exist.
OU isn't a high profile job as is. Sure, we could get someone who does...
Appreciate it. We played well against one of the best teams in our area. They went to the state semis last year. They were without one of their studs and we were missing a starter.
We hung with then til the 4th....had a lead in the third. They pulled away in the 4th and beat us 74-61.
It was a...
Another update:
We went on a 3 game win streak...it ended tonight with a 60-50 loss. It was a 6 point game with a minute left and we couldn't get any closer. They pulled away in the last minute with some timely FTs
One game left on the season
Update: we actually beat two of the teams in the last week that we lost to by 1 earlier in our schedule. Won one game by 5 in OT on the road and won one by 18 at home Friday night.
That's a contract extension, right?
LOL
Well when you expect to build a CONSISTENT winner.....you better at least be competitive in NIL. There is a reasonbpro teams like the Pirates are consistently at the bottom.
I don't think NIL is our sole problem but it plays a huge factor...especially when you are talking about bigs.
You do...
Well, I'll tell you I'm pretty firmly on the part ways with PM train these days.
I just feel like we have more big problems than just PM. We HAVE to fix the NIL discrepancy for any coach that is here and get better facilities. For starters..
