From Final 4 to complete destruction of the entire program in two years. Just sad.
I hope May never wins another game and the players barley see the floor on their new venture….

HOF should be special and unique. Meant for those who truly sacrificed and gave all for the betterment of their team and the school. It’s tough but you shouldn’t water it down like we have just for the sake of having a ceremony every year to make everyone feel happy and good about themselves….. It feels like the WWE HOF watered down and all pomp and circumstance. 😒

I'll let the coaches decide who they want or don't want. (And I doubt Goldin lands here). But....we're Rondel's third school (OSU, TCU, NT) and Buggs' fourth school. (UMass, Hill College, UTSA, NT)
Yeah it sucks…. I can understand going JUCO to D1 and at the end potentially going to another D1. That’s as far as it should go one single D1 to D1 transfer.

They just lost Golden, Rosado and Boyd along with their coach. We aren't the only school having turnover.
Pathetic

Come on Andrew. A mindset that doesn’t question things, never wants for more? That’s a recipe for really awful things. On an individual and societal level.
you are on your own, unique hill when it comes to loyalty, but this is just wrong.
It’s something everyone struggled with. Lack of contentment breeds anger, hate, greed, corruption and more.
Nobody said don’t question things…. Blind loyalty isn’t great either….. Clearly the entire transfer portal and the way college athletics is run should be questioned. Wanting for more is human nature and not innately wrong. However it seems people question the wrong things. Blinded by their own desires and wants they ignore what’s best. The irony of all of this coming out of college is a bit humorous and sad.

Losing stars to the portal seems to be a much bigger gut punch in basketball than football. But this year proved we can rebuild into a 20-win team as fast as anybody. The NIL drives me nuts but at least don't question your season tickets. We still had our highest attendance in 47 years this season. Yet I bet most people not on this forum that go to games couldn't even name all the starters on the basketball team when they were students.
We have had season tickets for like 30 years. I won’t give football or basketball up. Will continue it with my kids just like when I was kid; however I’m never giving to any form of NIL collective.
and yes I could make many players. I would have to really think though haha. Maybe Eric Jackson to George King were some of the firsts as I would be them in the driveway at home after games shooting hoops.

Good Luck Rubin. Is he HOF worthy?
So I’m still unsure if all this isn’t just an April fools joke because transferring benefits neither of them; however of all the players who could transfer they should be allowed. Neither has previously transferred. 3-4 years respectably. Ruben yes Scott idk if he had stayed 4 then yes. I think it should be only for players who end their career for UNT but that’s not written in stone anywhere.

If I won a Billion dollars I would use all of it to fight the concept of the NIL and the portal than to give it to people who don’t understand the concept of loyalty, team, family, and sacrifice.

It works both ways.
I bet OU wasn't too happy to lose one of their brighter young guys last year in Noland (a guy who started 8 games for them as a sophomore). But Noland wanted more run, and he found that here. I'm glad he did.
I bet OleMiss wasn't too happy to lose Allen (a 13-game starter last year), but I'm thankful they did.It's just a part of the game you have to play. Recruiting is a different animal now.
Exactly. No loyalty so difficult for fans to care. Outside of Rubin and Scott there really isn’t a player last season to root for. Just a bunch of guys looking out for them s else trying to do whatever they believe is best for them instead of a school or a team or a family. I’m ten years these people will be out working and jumping job to job or family to family. The world is going to be in for some hurt. Maybe a class on settling or being content should be mandatory for all college freshman. Might have even benefited us. 🤣

Whatever. Nobody cared when you won anyway.
I told you you were not going to win it. You were suppose to lose to A & M…. But it changed . You were suppose to lose then actually.

Agree. The bench was a weak spot for us this past season, especially when we had injuries but couldn't backfill with much. Ross needs to find more players that he has confidence in and allows to actually "play".
That’s the one issue most seemed to see was how we lacked depth. I’m assuming the NIL actually makes they more difficult. Do we want to pay guys like these to just sit there… can we afford more…. I hate the NIL

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.
But Dwight still stayed…. The transfer portal is a ridiculous concept. I can understand a single transfer, the constant jumping in and jumping out. That’s a problem. Basketball is a team sport and part of being on a team is being loyal. I’m sure part of the problem is also family and friends just whispering in peoples ears about the money. It’s not about basketball or the game or the team anymore. It’s all about me…. And that’s not how society should operate. (I understand it does at times…. But that should never be the norm).

I was calling this halfway through the season. I like Jason and he is a baller, but something felt off. Dont know what it was, but I sensed that he maybe wasn't fully bought in? Oh well time to pick up another stud JUCO guard.
At this point let’s just assume everyone doesn’t want to play or win…. This is just going to be everyone. I think it’s just cowards ball. Always run away and always about me. It’s the new norm apparently…. Can’t even celebrate a player we sign because they have done the same. Not fun anymore to be a fan….

I figure he and Dixon transfer and Allen graduates. The rest should stay. We replace those with two solid big transfers from the portal and then pick up a younger combo guard.

You think he is heartbroken or feels a little better today? Maybe he is laughing at your puffed up chest from yesterday.
He already showed who he was running tail out of town then ending up in the NIT and losing before UNT. It’s all about me me me….

We aren’t getting any sort of 50/50 call when we drive to the paint. We better at start hitting some threes because we aren’t going to get any favorable calls here.

Made 250,000 dollars to bounce his team out of the first round of the NIT. Sounds like a bargain
Sounds disgusting

Yes, that coward Perry ran away for a much larger NIL payment and to play in one of the best BB conferences in the country. He certainly deserves condemnation for that kind of decision.
I guess you are not a capitalist., but it should be obvious that some people are just better at somethings than others are.
Blame the NIL system and I will agree with you, but your take on capitalism and loyalty are at best problematic.
I simply don’t believe college athletes should be paid as amateur athletes. If anything the only pay/incentive outside of a debt free degree and all the other benefits should be a payout based on success. X amount of wins, wins in a conference tournament, making the big dance, NIT, winning there. It’s all equal payout and given to all team members.

So athletics want to compete at the highest level that they can. Others just want to stay in their comfort zone. You must really love those guys.
You mean players want to run away for more money and to hide behind a team name instead of compete and truly make something of themselves. Your comment is truly off and wild. I guess it’s just the Lebron and NBA affect. Always run away and look out for your own wallet and hide behind others.

Well… I had Purdue beating Arizona…. So I guess I need Purdue to win.
