Fire Porter Moser

Or maybe Denny uses some funny Northern math that thinks we can get significantly more for NIL by having a ton of $2 hotdog nights. lol

I sometimes laugh out loud at my own jokes too.

This sounds a little like the pitch my school district gives every other year when they pass yet another bond to increase my property taxes. But I agree that some more money can make up for some bad coaching. I am looking for more than just money though. I want to see underachievers get better and make better decisions in stressful moments. I want to see us beat more teams who are spending a lot more than we ever will. I would be happy with the Moser in February and March over a course of a season. But the larger sample size tells me more.

I think the best case scenario is both. But I think we have to pick one, and I don't think many coaches would succeed with one of the lowest NIL budgets in conference. And then we're stuck with a coached that flopped and lost all momentum in year 1 for another 2-4 years.

After 20 years of mediocrity, this likely isn't a 6 month fix for Denny. Funding can be consistent, but making Kelvin Sampson level hires will not be.

Normally I might agree, but I feel like we got a lot of bang for our NIL buck this year. This roster was pretty solid on paper. Yes, there were some guys that needed to continue to develop and improve, but to me, that was the main problem that development and improvement never took place.

You look back at guys that have left the program recently, and a lot of the major contributors are absolutely SMASHING it elsewhere. Uzan at Houston. Oweh at UK. Duke at Vandy. lol, Harkless is an NBA guy now. There were others that transferred out and weren't stars, but were good players.

Point being, I think we can spend a little more on next season's roster and maybe not even have a roster that is as good as what we had this year, on paper. We probably aren't going to grab a guard that has been a top 2 player on a FF team (Pack). I doubt we get an athletic freak with the size/length of Davis for the 4 spot. We'll see if we end up with 3 centers with the combined potential of Wague/Russian/Rogers. Jones' won't be super easy to replace outside of the scoring.

@BoulderSooner what’s the record for most posts in a thread? This one will break the record (if it hasn’t already)

I’m with you on this. My only concerns at the start of this season was our depth at 5 and the coach sitting on the bench.
