Who is evan? Where do you think we rank in the SEC for b-ball NIL spending? I would bet everything I own we were in the bottom 3-4. It's hard to argue otherwise.

I have no idea like you it’s pure speculation. They don’t print any figures. This is all a narrative that many chase cause our coaches aren’t very good and our bball coach is not a great judge of talent. So Fears came to us cheaply?

Yeah, obviously it's not published so a lot is pure speculation...like a lot of things. I know we got outbid by a decent amout for Pudulla by ole miss. We lost Garrison due to a much bigger offer at Kentucky. We had Aaron Scott wrapped up, and lost him to an offer he couldn't refuse by a non-SEC school (SJ), but it was $ related. Tech offered Overton much more than we were willing to pay. It did seem like we got some $$ to play with late in the portal game last year, and got Kadary Richmond to even visit, although he was always thought to stay in the east coast, and we did land Duke Miles later in the spring and he picked us over Auburn...but he wasn't in the first grouping of recruits that we went after.

Fears was a totally different deal, since he reclassed mid-summer. I have no idea how much we gave him, but seriously doubt it was $1MM+. It's a fascinating topic and I would LOVE to have total transparency to know where we do rank. However, I don't think there's any doubt schools like Arky, Kentucky, Tenn (Lanier was NOT cheap), FLorida, Bama, Miss, Mizzou, UT, A&M, etc. had more $ to play with. Vandy, MSU, Georgia, South Carolina...those are the ones I'm not 100% sure about. It would be interesting to see for sure.

We could axe PM, but if the next coach doesn't have some NIL $ to play with, it's going to be hard to compete in this league. You gotta have the jimmy's and the Joe's. You can only "out coach" and maximize lesser talent to an extent. That's not a longevity plan to me. The support has to be there...and I'm not sure that would be the case...which is the main reason I am not wanting to run off a coach as quick as some on here (although I am about there with Moser..it just feels like change is needed. But I really am excited about Kai Rogers...so it's a double edged sword to me).

You should be.. he has a better record and made tournaments. And got us BG.

Taylor Griffin had more to do with it than Capel.

 

[CanadaSooner23]

Will there be any accountability for moser failing? Will there be any accountability for the AD failing?

There's no need to be thinking about those things right now. We just have to keep persevering, stay positive, and worry about the rest once the season is finished.

The players are the ones who seem to have quit. I’d worry about them instead of telling fans how they should think.

Maybe they wouldn’t “quit” if the fans supported like they seem to do at every other SEC school? It goes hand in hand.

lol what a joke of a statement. So how do you explain high school and grade school kids who play hard when there are 50 people in the stands? We’ve heard Loser talk for months about how hungry this team is and we have so many seniors who want to play in their first tourney, blah blah blah. We have a guy playing for his draft position, Moore hoping for the best overseas possibility, etc. They have had good fan support for the most part. Did they lack support as they fell behind
Rodney Terry by 75 at the half? Was the building not behind them as they were blowing the doors off A&M? The excuses just don’t stop for some of you.

The players are getting paid a lot of money to play hard and compete and the coach is getting paid millions to make sure they play hard and compete so to blame it on the crowd is absurd.

Yeah, money doesn’t make people play harder at this level…esp if you have not elgibilty left. I mean, that’s the way it should be.

you’re from Canada. You know nothing and you put mayonnaise on everything. Your opinion doesn’t matter.

 

[cvangild]

???????? Wha……??

Take a look at the output that KU is getting from all those guys they paid A LOT of money for. The dude from Wisconsin...has been a total waste.

 

[WichitaSooner]

This is not the Chiefs night.

There are more Philly fans there. Obviously it’s the Chiefs fans fault since they didn’t support them well enough.

Quit being a d-bag at every opportunity you get. The Chiefs have been skating by all year…barely winning games. They got beat by the superior team.

Andy Reid should be fired feathered and tarred - Wichita most likely
