  3. Maybe this means Ruben is coming back. I never felt like they were ever comfortable playing together. Hate to lose his scoring but he also had to have a lot of shots to get those points. Not very efficient. He also struggled in late game situations. Good luck to him and I trust Hodge to get a quality replacement!

  4. Color me underwhelmed in the hire. 15-18 for the 2023-24 season, 105-100 PAC-12 record, and has never won any kind of championship in 11 years in the PAC-12? Sounds more like you did USC a favor.

  6. I know you love The Office Andrew. Just think of players as Dwight Schrute and you'll be happy. Would I ever leave this company? Look, I'm all about loyalty. In fact, I feel like part of what I'm being paid for here is my loyalty. But if there were somewhere else that valued loyalty more highly, I'm going wherever they value loyalty the most.

  12. Without Edwards this year, I speculate NT would have lost about 5 more games. Now we lose the only first team All Conference player and many chime in that he was not that good anyway and we can do better. All those, that think he will be easy to replace and was really a liability; are simply basketball unaware. What many seem to forget is that opponents' defenses were for most part focused on stopping Edwards. This freed up the other players for more good shots. Many predicted this, he is a hired gun and that is the why he is at NT. I think NT will get a good replacement, but I want to thank Edwards for his year of play and wish him the best.

  13. I do hope you’ll throw money at him. See a kid who is a great scorer…fail to see that he isn’t clutch…try to buy your way to success…continue to be an after thought. That would be the most SMU thing ever.

  15. The best thing about having Hodge as a coach was he came from JUCO where they often have massive turnover year to year, which has now become the norm in DI too. I'm sure he was at least partially ready for this scenario.

  16. This one hurts. He is definitely talented. However, his ball handling skills need a lot of work. Often resulted in turnovers or bad possessions.

  18. Looks like coach Andy Enfield is moving up from USC to take the head coaching job at SMU. This is Enfield's third stop as a HC, first at FGCU in the Atlantic Sun (FCS level) and then USC in the failed PAC conference (G6). Thus SMU is his first stop at a P3 level conference, and it'll take all his skill and NIL to compete in the ACC, which currently has four teams in the sweet 16. Enfield has BIG SHOES TO FILL following Lanier's vaunted 20 win season and almost winning a game in the AAC tourney. I'm excited, but it's always scary to gamble on an up-and-comer. https://www.si.com/college/usc/basketball/head-coach-andy-enfield-reportedly-leaving-for-smu-job-eg2001

  19. I believe Colleges will soon have to go to playing-contracts with athletes before much longer, similar to the NFL. Mainly to lock up players from moving after each season. The pay will have to be school-issued (but can be donor funded) with cap limits set on rosters determined by conference membership. Players can still sign endorsement deals outside the school playing contracts. But they can't leave for another school until either released from their current school contract, or stipulated buyout paid, or settlement agreement. Similar to NFL. A buyout from another school would help the athlete to move up in conferences and help the losing school recruit his replacement.

  26. So if this trend continues, we’ll recruit a scorer that will be all conference next season. We were having this same conversation around this time last year when our leading scorer, all conference guard entered the transfer portal before we even knew who Jason Edwards was. I don’t even really care either way anymore. Go get another one. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  28. I don't know why we keep ripping guys that contributed from day 1. There's a very good chance that this team would not have achieved what it did without Jason Edwards. If he was the complete package when he came here he wouldn't have came here. Again, this fanbase/board needs to come to grips with the age of NIL and the transfer portal. We love our guys until they leave.

  29. Pointing out his liabilities is not really warranted, as we'd all be thrilled if he returned. It's not really fair to compare him to Perry either. They had different strengths, and Perry was here for 2 years & improved from year 1 to year 2.

  30. Good kid and a scorer, but a defensive liability and cannot play the point. He couldn’t win games like Tylor could and he is small. I do appreciate what he did here and wish him well.

  31. I am grateful for him keeping us in games. But I’d like a true closer all the same. Let’s just hope the team he joins doesn’t need to rely on him for any last second shots. Be sure they ain’t fallin.

  33. Great job organizing, Matt. Fun fan time for all. Enjoyed the banter and breadth of topics, as is likely to occur when fellas gather for the talking sport. There is value, lots of it, when fans coordinate and gather together, especially for away games where there may not be lots of Green in the crowd. The more together we are, the louder we are. Really appreciated the ladies coming over after the game to thank us for being there. Ladies, thank YOU! GMG

  35. Defense was ok. Not great, but not bad. Showed flashes of stopping the run. Secondary was aggressive in the run game. D-Line and linebackers need to get more involved. More pass rush also. But didn't give up any big plays. Offense 1st team looked good. Scored almost every possession. Running backs a little banged up so didn't see them all. Stone was with 1st team QB. Looked accurate. Ran the offense well. Good timing with receivers. Cash was 2nd team QB. Looked solid. Good arm, but a little late on a couple of throws. Ran the ball well when he had to scramble. Reese was 3rd QB. Didn't do much. Missed some receivers and completed a couple of short passes. Overall a good scrimmage. Looked better than this time last year. O-Line will be solid. Kicker made a 51 yarder during live scrimmage. So that's good. Saw Chandler Morris there watching. Not very big. Smaller than Stone. Will be interesting to see how things play out this summer.

  36. Does it suck he didn't stay? Yes. But he should always be remembered for the NIT championship, CUSA championship, CUSA player of the year and NIT Most Outstanding Player honors. He scored over 1,000 points in 67 games and the team went 56-14 in his two seasons in Denton. We need more players like that even if they eventually get lured away by deep-pocketed rat bastards higher than us in the food chain.

  37. Don't care where they come from. NT should just recruit the best players they can get that play NT style basketball; defense is priority, functions well in team environment, excellent character, I would prefer a mix of transfers, with a limited number of one year eligibility players, priority on getting players that once signed cannot leave without losing a year of eligibility Biggest need a defensive oriented big man and returning Edwards, Scott and Jones if he has another year

  38. I hear this a lot, the only problem is the vast majority of schools lose millions on athletics. Unless you want to consider that mandated student fees used for athletics are actually earned revenue. As stand alone entities, there maybe a handful of schools outside of the SEC that really make money.

  41. I'm not going to lie; I would love a reason to see a game in the Kibbie Dome vs. the University of Idaho. Throw in Syracuse, and combined with UTSA's rent-a-dome, I think I would have finally seen a game in all the CFB Domes.

  44. Well, when a man and a woman have had too much to drink, they hook up. Due to their intoxicated status, they forget to use a condom, and the man doesn't know how to pull out. Then the woman forgets that she is out of "Plan B". Nine months later, they have a baby. 6 months after that, I'm getting called to their house repeatedly for domestic violence calls because neither one can act like a fking adult. Then I have to explain to one that the other has established residency and does in fact live there, despite that they don't pay any bills or their name isn't on the lease, and I can not "make them leave".
