I don’t disagree with you on that part but it’s also not at all in doubt that since NIL started, there are absolutely players coming back to college who wouldn’t have otherwise. And plenty of them would have been drafted. That’s the only point I was making in response to the guy who was acting...

Were you in their meetings with teams? Or do you have better intel than all the professional analysts who had the Michigan kid going in the first round?

The fact you aren’t a fan and consider the best basketball league a clown league really speaks volumes to your knowledge.

Absolutely agree there are pros and cons to both. Before NIL, I would have advised any first round pick to turn pro, and understood why guys likely to go in round two would leave. But NIL changes the equation and makes coming back a much more attractive option. But my main point is that it is...

Sure, because we all know no player has ever returned to college over the NBA. even before NIL. Rumor has it Tim Duncan was told he wouldn't even make a men's rec league roster after his junior year, which is why he went back to Wake. And Blake Griffin definitely wouldn't have made the league...

Ok, so you are just being willfully ignorant, which is your right. There were all sorts of writers discussing this on twitter the past couple days, listing all sorts of players who chose to return to college rather than the NBA. Michigan will be a top 5 preseason team because their stud incoming...

The team has laid about five eggs a season at home under Moser and the crowds have still been decent by OU standards. I’d say the fans have given him several mulligans. It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out next season, since expectations should be higher.

Oweh is returning to UK. Moser … you have 8+ months to figure out a way to get the ball out of his hands at winning time. 😊

What the hell are you talking about? You asked where they would go and I directly answered you.

Who wants to give up on playing home games? Find one person who has made that argument. What some of us don’t want is to do what we did last year, which was play precisely zero road games, and bring seven teams below 320 in the NET to Norman. I’d love to see us get a good power conference team...

He was a sure second round pick, and several other guys who would have been drafted are also coming back, including at least one likely first round pick.

Johnson wasn’t even their best player in the tourney that season.

Guys are still trying to make the NBA. It’s just that they now have a great fallback option if it seems like they’ll get picked in the first round. And since the NBA and ncaa are completely separate entities, and each nil deal is negotiated individually and with no limits, there is no way for...

Pop Isaacs to A&M now that Los is coming back to Houston. Edited to add: three guys today withdrew from the draft and announced they are going to play college ball next year. For all the whining about NIL, this is one of the main upsides -- guys who otherwise would have stayed in the draft and...

Recency bias. I judge coaches by the full body of work. Think of it this way: if given the option in advance, what would you sign up for: one tourney berth in three years, and an Elite 8 appearance, or one berth in four seasons without winning a single game? And on top of that, look at how bad...
