That was very dumb.

2-1 Under

I thought Aidoo had a good shot of getting drafted if he kept up his excellent play from the end of the regular season in the NCAA Tournament, but don't that the draft is a serious consideration given that he was on the side of a milk carton in Detroit.

Let her speak, Danny.

People like to use consistency (UConn has missed the NCAA Tournament nearly as often as they've won it over the last 25 years) and longevity (not much history prior to Calhoun) as arguments against them being a Blue Blood, which I think is dumb. Indiana and UCLA have not won a title since...

Dan Hurley to Lexington is pretty interesting; I don't think it happens, but the prospect isn't unbelievably far-fetched. UConn is a better program than Kentucky right now by a fairly significant margin, credit to Dan for rebuilding Storrs, but Kentucky is the sport's premier legacy program and...

34 or 35.

This makes sense. I’m a big fan of the hire, but there’s no point in paying $1MM+ right out of the gate. Rest assured, $750k plus the incentives is a big step up from Marshall.

We'll see what kind of NIL budget CKC gets this season to shore up the myriad roster holes, and (despite her acknowledging that recruiting is not her strong suit) girls will be interested in coming to a legacy program with a competent coach after she shows out in '24-'25.

Yep, she lost as a thirteen seed against a much better Virginia Tech roster. Still managed to deliver Marshall their best season ever in *checks notes* her first and only season with the program.

A Missouri State team that's been to two Final Fours and then made the Sweet Sixteen again the non-COVID season following her departure. KJH's ceiling will always be relative mediocrity.

You have this completely backwards. Kim Caldwell has proven that she can make winners out of relative nobodies (her alma mater and Marshall for the first time in eons). KJH, on the other hand, was the worst coach ever to helm the women's teams at both Tennessee and NC State.

I like the hire. After dealing with Kellie's utter ineptitude over the last five seasons, it'll be nice to have someone in charge who actually knows how to coach (as evidenced by Caldwell's record). She has the chance to be something special once high-quality players start coming in, another...

Hah, that inbounds was awesome.
