hoping that AAC transfer is Mehki Mason fro Rice

Already committed to Washington on April 3, unless he backed out of that commitment

This new proposed contingency ACC sure walks and quacks like a non power conference. Why would anyone allow them to stay a Power conference without the teams that make them a power conference? 
 

I have an idea: when the PAC 12 goes away, let’s change the name of the AAC to the PAC 12: Boom, now we’re in a power conference. 

Won’t work, the “Pac12” is no longer a “power” conference 

[Fairfield guard Jasper Floyd transferring to UNT]

Shows to be 6’3”.   I like that this isn’t another sub 6’ guy because I think teams neutralized Edwards at times last season when he couldn’t get a shot off.

Will people care, though? Is there a market for this? Is Buffalo vs Coastal Carolina going to fill up At&t in Dallas for the G5 national championship? Will the game Crack even 3M viewers? On the surface it appears to be an ok idea. But reality might set in and a move like this might push people away more than it brings them together. 

It’s a no brainer.  
 

In the old days I knew Dickey’s Sun Belt champion teams weren’t realistically going to get a shot at a national title, but we were at least playing in the same league…a home run recruiting class and a friendly schedule and we had a chance to have a Boise State type string of seasons.  With this new system, there is ZERO chance of building a competitive squad…the second we show potential with all-conference type players, they’re gone.   A Brandon Kennedy would be a one year player in today’s landscape.  
 

So, why wouldn’t the G5 schools try to form their own system?  And, I would jack the price for a visit to a P4 stadium up to a $3M minimum that ALL G5 schools hold firm on.   If Texas wants to go 12-0 they either have to play the other “big boys” or pay the piper💰

 Not counting Rubin as that is sacrilegious, I think we upgraded in the 3 for the 3 trade with our newbies over Noland, Edwards, and almost sacrilegious to say … Scott.  

 

I think you are vastly underappreciating what A-Scott brought to the table

It's all about how this gets settled now. FSU, Clemson, Georgia Tech, UNC, Miami, Duke, UVa, Va Tech, NC State, Louisville, Pitt, and Syracuse will find homes in the Big Three Conferences that will be left. My guess is that the B1G gets UVa, UNC, Duke, and Georgia Tech, the SEC gets Va Tech, NC State, FSU, Clemson, Pitt, and Miami. Louisville and Syracuse will go to the Big 12, probably with UConn and Stanford.

Cal gets WSU and OSU to join their new far flung setup with BC, SMU, and Wake Forest, while they add in Memphis, Temple, Tulane, USF, ECU, and FAU to join their league.  

Given the news that was just given to WSU and OSU about their loss of "autonomy conference" status, what makes you think they or Cal would have anything to offer once the ACC is no more?   I don't see the ACC being allowed to remain a "P4" once the best of that conference has been taken in by the SEC, Big XII and Big 10

After much thought, I have decided to enter the fan transfer portal.  I have already been approached by universities that offered money, as well as lots of comp tickets...the one in Dallas is the chief bidder, but I have not made up my mind to commit.

Word is the one in Dallas will give you comp tickets and money and you won't have to claim to be a fan for the first 9 years.

Nothing will change my mind. They rather be like Lebron than Jordan (granted I hate he went to the wizards) and Kobe. This generation always wants theirs. Selfish and yes run away until they find it. Can’t ever grow where they are planted. That’s a fact for many and evidence by college athletics.

Precisely!!  Why can’t these kids be more like Kobe, who would NEVER try to leave his team…

Players these days like to run away. Keeps Blake away. They aren’t mentality prepared to actually compete. It’s easier to run away and try to get cash than be the best player on the court. That’s this generation. Run away and hide behind others while trying to get petty cash where they can. 

 

[New commit Creighton transfer post Brock Vice]

Sounds like he was a pretty good prospect coming out of high school. 

"Brock Vice is a Creighton Bluejay. The 6-foot-10 power forward Brock Vice (Germantown, Tenn. / Houston HS) has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Creighton and play for the Bluejays. He's ranked as the nation's No. 33 best center prospect by 247Sports and the No. 3 overall player in the state of Tennessee"

Yeah, there are exceptions…and sometimes they’re guys who go from North Texas TO a SWAC school…before playing pro ball

You do remember that we had benched multiple starters for the first half right before this game for violating rules?  Wasn’t pretty but we were winning at half, and then lost the game after the starters returned in the 2nd half.  

You're talking about this game, right?  I just want to make sure your explanation of "starters came in and ruined it for Stone Earle" is referring to THIS game...

[Season Ticket Change]

1 hour ago, NTEdgex2 said:

I was told they were putting backs on the bleachers, not single chairs. Changes with who you talk to I guess. 
 

GMG!

I think it’s single chairs because the reasoning behind not guaranteeing seat locations is that they don’t yet know how many seats will be on a row.   Seat backs on existing bleachers wouldn’t change the number of seats

[Season Ticket Change]

New for this year, you get to renew your season tickets but they WON'T guarantee where you'll be sitting.

They're removing the bleachers from the middle three lower sections of the home side and replacing them with seat-backed chairs...and you'll get to pick your spot based on MGSF priority points
