Porter to.........Villanova???

[daqman]

And there you go. Instead of being one or two players away, we're literally going to be half the budget of the teams we want to compete with.

maybe they'll be able to make it past the first round next year.

Exactly, they pretty much have a blank checkbook with Adidas

they have an NBA quality arena with suites .. and generate over 40 million in mens basketball revenue a year

The 22,000 seats - split about evenly between the upper and lower arena - include 71 luxury suites, 62 four- or six-seat premium boxes, over 2,000 sidecourt club seats and four party suites with a seating capacity of 32 each. Centerplate is the concessionaire for the facility, which has 27 permanent stands, 32 portable locations, two fixed novelty stands and 234 total points of sale.

Not on campus, but in downtown Louisville. Not sure if it's owned by the city or the university, but the university has a really good deal there.

Arent you claiming that is already the case?

I hate that OU is poor. In literally every sport, OU is poor. Yet, somehow, Ole Miss and LSU, in destitute states that are very close to OU in terms of overall financial health, are able to get NIL in large amounts. So us being poor isn't it. It's lack of leadership at the top. So changing coaches won't do anything. Until Joe C retires (or more likely dies in the chair in his office, since he has a job as long as he wants it, and doesn't seem to want to retire), OU will be behind the 8 ball.

OU isn’t poor. You did hit the nail on the head tho. It’s poor leadership.

We didn’t get screwed last year, whiny ass press conferences or not. We won TWO games against tournament teams last year after December. It’s so weak to keep making this claim but the Moser apologists won’t stop doing it.

Last year's team was better than this one.

Okay

 

[Rew21218]

Last year's team was better than this one.

Frustrating the pieces this team could’ve had if we could retain players.

Last year's team had a higher ceiling but much lower floor

Oweh should have been retained over Moore.

 

[Rew21218]

Oweh should have been retained over Moore.

Not sure Moore had Kentucky on his caller id. But I don’t disagree.

That said Moore had a good year and you can tell he cares about the program. Nothing bad to say about him.

This year's team hit much deeper floors. We had a 1-7 stretch and two separate 4 game losing streeks. Last year's team never lost more than two games in a row.

Yup!

 

[IndySooner]

Oweh should have been retained over Moore.

Pretty sure 0% of the board was saying that after last year.

I think Moore has a lingering injury. He just didn't look right at the end of the season. But he was huge early.

 

[Moneyball]

Can you guys imagine how bad this year would have been if Fears hadn’t fallen in our lap?? Porter was just gonna roll with that squad. Jalon primary and Duke secondary creators. Adios Porter, don’t let the door hit ya. (Please please please leave)

 

[Rew21218]

I just have a really hard time believing somebody will hire Porter.

 

[Eielson]

Oweh should have been retained over Moore.

I wanted to keep Uzan, Oweh, and Javian. But it's a lot easier to retain guys when you've made the tourney 2/3 years rather than missing three straight. We also wouldn't have landed Fears if we retained that trio.

Once that exodus happened and we were clearly impotent in the portal, I felt it was a clear mistake to have retained Porter. But all things considered, making the 9 seed was a good result. I'm just not sure where we go from here with another hard reset.
