I don't think most of us are expecting a constant high ceiling but is it too much to ask to make the tournament somewhat consistently? Or at least not to constantly stumble away games against bad teams like Pitt?

I just don't think Diebler as a basketball coach purely is good enough, he's not really doing much to show us that he's not just a continuation of his former boss

If you can't win the major NIL battles you need a coach who can get the best out of that next wave of players. I do not think Diebler is that coach.

agreed....if Tennessee and Florida can be in the tourney almost yearly, then OSU can make it at least every other year. I fully realize Ohio doesn't have the talent in state that many states close to our size do. Perhaps the cycle will change someday. We don't even play in the top 2 or 3 of tough conferences.

I was all in on Diebler but I'm now all out. He just doesn't have it and it's obvious to me. He doesn't even seem to be average.....and I'm shocked about that. Smith let OSU drift too long under Holtmann and I'm afraid if Diebler is our coach next year then it will be even harder to drum up NIL support for JD's replacement in '26-'27

Spotted him on the sideline of The Game. Guy was on the path to being one of the greats. Hope he is good.

So Franklin is just going to take PSU's whole recruiting class to VaTech with him?

Classic

And use it to be top 3 in the ACC in a few years. Franklin works well with little pressure

Swept by friggin' Arizona State. No votes in today's poll. Welp, at least there's the women.

Seems like Diebs & Co are getting a lot of top recruits to campus. We'll see how that parlays into the ink drying on NLOID, but getting guys like this to visit never hurts.

JMU is becoming a great minor league program.

They need to start requesting Transfer Fees (like in European football) for teams taking their coaches and players.

This guy couldn't catch a cold.

all good.

but I really think they should hire Brian Kelly at a roughly 6 year $54 mil deal.

3 point win for Jam Session. Congrats!

The Vest must be perturbed.

Very much a trend in middle/high. We have had several “held back” in order to gain that experience in age. Yet to see conclusive evidence it’s beneficial. One would think if you do it it’s because your son socially/mentally would benefit. That is not the case I’m seeing….

Lost to a team that finished 13th in a conference that has a 7-5 team in its title game. If they weren't an SEC team they'd for sure be out if they lose the title game, instead they are more than likely in regardless.

Yep. 1-loss BYU is likely out if they lose to #4 Texas Tech, but 2-loss Bama will likely be in if they lose to #3 Georgia.

Finished Wisdom Takes Work by Ryan Holiday. If I had a lifetime I don’t think I could finish all the books he read so he could write this one. Definitely recommend!

I’m slowly working my way through The Nightingale’s Song. Great book, just a long read.

Really need to add TDs to that chart for CJD's benefit. He's been the workhorse we needed post-Judkins.

Agreed and I'm 100% certain he scored on his goalline run

Thank you Mr. Melton. You also deserve a set of gold pants.

Another fantastic Day hire in the off-season.
