As we know the Transfer Portal changes everything. With the guys that I brought in in the previous off-season leading the way, 2 were POtY in their small school conferences. I went 18-2 in conference, lost in the Conference Final though, got a 6 seed in the NCAAs and went on a improbable run to the Final 4.

I lost to an 8th seed ironically, it was Notre Dame though, who went on to upset Overall number 1 Cincinnati. in the Title game. Only 2 guys transferred, I thought that it would be 4. There were no tempting job offers this time, so it was easy to return and see if we can make other run.

Does Alabama have a lot of games where they were blown out by 40 plus points? If not then everything is fine, but if so then their "style of offensive" setting is bugged.

They're a very mediocre team. They did have one other game where they lost by 33 but their wins/losses are very consistent with a mediocre team.

The Radford franchise is on a small hiatus as I wait on my buddy to get his game played. We've only got a few games left on the year.

I have made headway with a 3 star center that I hope ends up committing in the spring. That will be a huge boost to a roster that is about to lose a ton of production.

It has been an up and down season. My nonconference play had me excited to see where the season would go. The way my team has performed in the conference, mainly on the road, has me scratching my head all too often. We will see what recruiting and the transfer portal bring us. I feel I'll need a real infusion of talent to get the type of run I need to find a new landing spot.
