It's a good debate. Njegovan had the highest block rate on the team last season, but he shouldn't play as much as Bynum, so he'll be behind him in raw block totals. Ojianwuna is on par with Bynum, but he also probably won't play as much as Bynum. Sleeper choice is Anthony Thompson - with his...

I think it's moreso that they wanted to avoid taking a hit in losing players on their roster with no chance to replace them. They obviously don't want Boynton to be their coach long-term, but they're willing to call him their head coach in order to avoid taking a hit in the short-term.

Hilarious. Panic move. Over 7 seasons in in the Big 12, Boynton's Okie State teams went 51-75 - and one of those seasons featured eventual #1 pick superstar Cade Cunningham.

Obviously I don't know what is going on, just made a guess about the playing surface. I don't really follow tennis but even if the court isn't exactly clay, it's still a hard surface that I'm sure would scrape you up pretty good if you dove or slid on it. Obviously having an actual hardwood...

Call me crazy, but I think it's dumb to play on a tennis court. What did Woody Hayes say? If you're going to fight in the North Atlantic, then you should train in the North Atlantic. Conversely, if you're going to fight on a hardwood court indoors, it doesn't help your preparation for the...

Okpara was drafted #46 and will be in the Wizards organization. I doubt he is going to actually stick in the NBA, but he at least got drafted, so good for him for that. Notable that Holtmann's best recruiting class ended up with 3/4 of the players being drafted (Sensabaugh, Thornton & Okpara).

First pick in the second round of the draft, #31 overall. I believe he will be on Houston's roster.

I'm saying it's definitely a riskier move to go to the NBA than to stay in college, and that makes the long-term calculus financially risky. For Dusty May, he's now basically the coaching version of a "made man" so he will be able to land on his feet in college again after the seemingly...

Let's look at some of the NBA championship coaches over the past 10+ years. 2016: Cavs / Tyronn Lue (fired in 2018 after an 0-6 start) 2019: Raptors / Nick Nurse (fired in 2023 after team missed playoffs) 2020: Lakers / Frank Vogel (fired in 2022 after missing playoffs) 2021: Bucks / Mike...

Yeah, I think for sure the portal this year showed there were some deeper pockets - most notably Tennessee with Juke Harris - that took talent away that Dusty May wanted. May was able to get his pick of the litter last year, but this spring missing out on a top target in spite of trying to...

C'mon man. I'm not on the "cover-up bus" either, but there's no chance that he will have more job security/stability in the NBA than at UM after winning the title. More money, sure, a chance for a bigger challenge, sure, but there's too much fan interest & money to be made for major college...

The only move for UM right now is an immediate internal promotion for an interim coach.

Make no mistake, running a college basketball coaching search in June is a disaster. Players will be allowed to transfer away and everyone who's any good has long decided where to play next season. Coaches don't want to leave their programs this time of year.

Damn. Too bad OSU didn't hire such a loyal coach like Dusty May.

I would say it is the deepest team they've had in a long time. The 2012 team that made the Final Four was tough, I'm skeptical that these guys will be on that level. The only question-marks are physicality and efficiency. The past great teams they had, there was always at least one guy who...
