2025-2026 College Basketball General Discussion

Ed Cooley. Is it bad when your coach has to deflect to global chaos instead of running a middling basketball program? :lol:

He’s not wrong. It’s just sports but that’s hilarious. You’re not paid to worry about those other problems, my guy.

Blessed to be 1-6.
Thank God, we're blessed that Ed Cooley isn't the coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes. After all, he was on the short list of candidates at one point.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

The volume of kids who hit the portal this year almost had to result in this. Who knows if what we saw this year will become the new norm, but I suspect that it likely will settle down quite a bit after this round of musical chairs doesn’t end well for a lot of kids.

It’s hard to put any of this on the kids themselves. Ultimately they do have a choice so, yeah… they get some of the blame here. That said, I suspect that a LOT of very bad advice that was hardly given in service of these kids has lead them to where they are.

Pro tip. If you go into the portal, you best have a new home already secured. If you don’t, you darn well better be the bell of the ball, otherwise… FAFO.

2024 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Texas Tech, JMU, Bama, UGA, aTm are the only teams in the CFP with QBs they recruited.
Unfortunately many of the NIL numbers aren't made public, so its hard to compare numbers unless the player, their agent or someone associated with them releases that info. Hence why I have yet to see how much Sayin is earning or negotiating, or how much JJ makes(the rumor is he's up to $7mil for next season). This is all a weird area we're in, in CFB. We know some salaries, but not all. So its kind of like a professional level, but still some numbers are shrouded in secrecy, my guess is because there isn't enough interest in those particular players.
Whatever JJ is making, its not enough.

S Cody Haddad (transfer to Iowa)

dude looks like he aged 15 years :lol:

Good luck to him - but I don't think he's big enough to be a Big Ten safety.
Yeah, the greatest thing he got from OSU was a year to work with Mickey, other than that he was never going to see the field as a Buckeye.

Probably will end up at a MAC school or YSU. One of those types of schools, where he has a very good chance to play.

Ole Miss Rebels (official thread)

Lawyers for QB Trinidad Chambliss sue NCAA in Mississippi court

Lawyers representing Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss sued the NCAA on Friday, asking a judge in the Chancery Court of Lafayette County, Mississippi, for preliminary and permanent injunctions that would allow him to play one more season for the Rebels.

The NCAA denied Chambliss a waiver for a sixth year of eligibility on Jan. 9, ruling that Ole Miss officials and Chambliss didn't provide adequate medical evidence by a treating physician that showed he was suffering from an "incapacitating injury or illness," which is required for approval of a waiver.

Chambliss claimed he dealt with persistent respiratory issues as a sophomore at Division II Ferris State in 2022, which is why he didn't play that season.

"In Trinidad's case, the NCAA failed in its mission to foster his well-being and development as a student-athlete," the lawsuit says. "The mechanisms (i.e., waiver rules) for granting Trinidad an additional year of eligibility -- so that he has the opportunity to compete in four years of college football -- are available and within the NCAA's control.

"Despite the duty of good faith and fair dealing it owes Trinidad, the NCAA insists on considering the evidence in Trinidad's case in an isolated, rather than comprehensive, manner; interpreting its rules to impose requirements not contained therein; taking unreasonable if not irrational positions; and acting in an arbitrary and capricious manner in its decision-making and ruling."

Chambliss has already signed to play for the Rebels in 2026. His deal, including incentives, might be worth as much as $6 million, according to sources.

The case differs in that most lawsuits filed by players wanting an additional year of eligibility have been filed in federal courts and allege the NCAA violated federal antitrust laws. (Note: Like Ohio State basketball player Puff Johnson's case).

"We're not challenging the legality of any NCAA rules," Mars told ESPN on Friday. "To the contrary, we're asking that they be applied as written based on the totality of the circumstances, as required by internal NCAA policy, without ignoring certain evidence, misconstruing other evidence, and using arbitrary and tortured interpretations of the language the NCAA used to create the rules."

Everytime I see the words "Mississippi Court" I think to myself, Oh shit some of that ugly southern "justice" is at it again.
