    At this rate, I truly don't think any hire could've made me boast with excitement after the past two years. I just want a competent coach who can get us back to winning.
    He is a program builder just like alot of these mid major coaches, hes won 186 games at Winthrop and 75 games at CoC in just 3 years. That is an outstanding resume.

    I agree with you, at the end of the day all this boils down to is can Kelsey win at Louisville? That is still TBD but its still refreshing to have a new face leading your basketball program.

      Lampkin and Hadley leaving Colorado and entering transfer portal. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...ansfer-portal/

      I'm ignorant, so bear w/ me.

      I'm still trying to wrap my head around the reasons for transferring these days. It used to just be coaching change or wanting more mins or some family/personal relocation reason. But in these Buffs' case...coach is staying, you're already a starter on a good power conference team, and this doesn't seem to be some family/personal issue. Is it just NIL elsewhere? Search for more glory at a bigger program?

      I don't mind the transfer portal (although I wish there were more restrictions...I thought they changed the rule to just 1 transfer allowed while an undergrad?), but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the NEW reasons why players transfer so much. I have to think it's NIL, since a lot don't even go to significantly bigger programs a lot of times.

        It's NIL. These guys are essentially signing one-year contracts. I'm all for guys getting their money, but I wish there were more rules surrounding how many times they can transfer. Once as an undergrad, unless it's a hardship (coach leaves, homesickness/illness to be closer to home), and then once if you're a post-graduate.

          Yes that is a surprise, Colorado was a tournament team this year. I didnt realize Lampkin still has eligibility left, he transferred from TCU just last year.

          I think you are right NIL is changing why these guys transfer so frequently now, alot of these guys do this because they want more money I feel like. I personally think the NCAA should do something about this, like if your a grad transfer you can only transfer to one other school after you graduate or you can only transfer 2-3 times.

          The transfer portal and NIL are also why we see so many upsets in the NCAA Tournament, Jack Gohlke from Oakland was 25 and still playing college basketball. Again the NCAA needs to find a way to fix this, you cant have 23-26 year olds play college basketball going up against 18-19 year olds.

            Lady Vols fire Kellie Harper.

            Danny White has been gold for the athletic department so far, hopefully he can find the right person to get the Lady Vols back to elite status.

              Our women's coach is on the hot seat too, Mike Neighbors has only been to the tournament twice in 7 years and 0 tournament wins. He is 48-63 in the SEC and we just had 2 key players transfer out so we could struggle next year.

                This made me look up Pat Summitt, I'm an idiot. I thought Harper replaced her. Not only has it been 8 years since she died (and was only 64!), she stepped down in 2012 (at 59!) after losing to Kim Mulkey's Britney Griner juggernaut.

                  Don't care what anyone says, Summitt was the GOAT. A travesty her career - and life, obviously - were cut short.

                    So the Muss rumors are rearing their ugly head again lol.

                    He is interviewing for the USC job tomorrow.

                    Something really fishy is going on here, a couple of days ago our AD Hunter Yurachek posted a video on Twitter of Muss coming back. The only problem is Muss had no idea that Yurachek posted that video and apparently it angered him.

                      Would you be upset or happy if he left?

                      I know SMU is going to the ACC, but leaving USC for SMU seems like an add move. Maybe he didn’t want the travel going to the Big 10, though he’s still going to have a fair amount in the ACC.

                        Honestly I would be happy if he left lol, these last 2 years have been rough on me as a fan but remarkably we made a Sweet 16 last year which makes this move a little odd. I can see why hes interested in the move though he played at San Diego, coached both the GS Warriors and the Sacramento Kings, and one of his sons still goes to school at San Diego I believe so he probably wants to be closer to his family. He can also live on/near the ocean which also interests him, his wife, their son and their daughter.

                        USC is going to the Big 10 next year although I think the SEC is a better basketball conference especially this year. USC is a brand name though that can afford to pay him alot I would imagine, plus this year Andy Enfield got Isaiah Collier and Bronny James to play for him so Muss will be able to get some top level talent to go to USC.

                        Nothing is set in stone yet but there is alot of smoke so the feeling in Northwest Arkansas is he will leave.

                            Razor Hogs, How would you feel about Calipari. You'll get the best recruiting class Arkansas has ever seen. But a mediocre coach.

                              That is what im concerned about, again he is 1-4 in the past 5 NCAA tournaments and he cant win in the SEC Tournament too. Apparently we r ready to offer him between 6-7 million with NIL money and so on, so I feel like he needs to make some serious noise in March to justify this.

                              Im honestly surprised by this, hes 65 so its interesting hes doing this now.
