That or he'd been told his entire formative years how amazing he was and that nothing was ever his fault.
Either way, a sad development. I wonder if his struggles at OU and South Carolina humbled him at all. He was supposed to be a surefire #1 pick coming out of HS.
You can just click the karat and collapse the post and its replies if you don't want to read them. I have to say, though, I don't think this particular instance of "silliness" was bad at all.
Yep, it's conceivable someone will email their school's compliance department late tonight with a request to be entered in the portal and the school might not get around to entering it into the database until late Friday.
Ha, I think that Justin Joyner will be very invested in taking Mahaney assuming they can get him to visit.
Johnell seems like a serious longshot at this point. Potentially doesn't have the credits to graduate and might have priced himself entirely out of college hoops.
Michigan is also hard after rising junior Aidan Mahaney, a G from Saint Mary's. Love the roster balance that Dusty is achieving with these portal adds. Turning next season's roster into a winner almost overnight while not just relying on grads and mortgaging the following season.
*not committed yet but really seems like just a matter of when
He made that entire "apology" about him and his "quirks" or whatever and how he's just an aw shucks silly guy. Hardly sincere, IMO.
Also, he's had lots of very bad opinions over the years and has written a lot of really stupid stuff. Him getting called out should've happened a long time ago.
The boomerang transfer is rare overall but a little more common in hoops. This article, though a few years old now, mentions 13 "notable" players in 2022 that were playing at a previous school in -- the implication being that this is just a sampling of the overall figure.
I want to say I recall reading somewhere that Weiss was trying to find evidence of tampering by former player(s) in the transfer portal, but I could be completely making that up.
I’d be down for May to keep an assistant or two, mainly Martelli, if just for continuity sake.
I could see a few support staff guys staying, but really, why would you want to keep anyone of consequence from a program that was 14 games under .500 over the past two seasons? Time for clean house.
It wasn't that long ago he went to the Sweet 16 or better 7 times in 8 years.
That streak, while impressive, ended nine years ago. The college basketball landscape has changed a lot since then and Izzo has not adapted. Over the past eight tournaments (no NCAAT in 2020), his teams made it out of the first weekend twice: 2019's FF run and last season.
Izzo isn't a mediocre coach overall but I'd argue he's been replacement-level for at least the last four seasons.
Dickinson announced he was transferring about a week before Love committed to Michigan. I don't think the two were related. I do think it was him no longer believing that Michigan could win and the lack of NIL that he got.
Michigan should not be giving more chances to guys without experience running a college program.
While it's true OSU played better under Diebler, they also experienced dramatic 3-point luck. Other than their loss to Minnesota, their opponents have been missing all their 3s.
In conclusion, Ross Bjork continues to be a dummy. Surprised he didn't give Diebler a 10-year, $95 million contract. That's his go-to.
I think there is a very, very low chance of this happening. I can't see Howard walking away voluntarily nor can I see him leaving a bunch of money on the table. He's either getting fired or he's going to be retained as the ultimate lame duck.
In what I am guessing is not a coincidence, about two hours ago the Michigan Football Facebook page posted four photos of Q Johnson's hit on Egbuka, with no additional context.
It's true they're on a roll with Diebler, but OSU might also have to hire him full time now, and unless he's a Brad Stevens type it's likely his ceiling will top out at what Holtmann was already doing. I guess we'll see, but it's a pretty big risk to be a program like OSU handing over the reigns to someone with zero high major HC experience.
And yes, I see the parallels with Michigan and Sherrone Moore, but at the time of Harbaugh's departure, there was really no other choice than to elevate Moore. OSU thought they would get a spot at the front of the coaching line, but it's looking like they may not even be a player.
Alabama is projected as a 4 seed...definitely not on the bubble. Their record may look a little wonky but that's because they played the second toughest schedule in the country (Michigan is #1).

I'd never seen that show or that clip in particular. Massive kudos to JD Johnson for how he handled Spencer Rattler being a complete asshole.

This picture from that article makes it look like this ref has a Stretch Armstrong arm.
Blah blah blah
You are boring. Go back to 11 Weirdos.

Football portal for underclassmen closed at 11:59:59 p.m. last night. Portal for basketball and football grads closes tonight at 11:59:59 p.m.
Expect to hear names entered into the portal through Friday, though, as schools have 48 hours to comply with portal requests.
If anyone should be doing this, it's you, OP!
Wasn't Milton at Tennessee for 3 seasons?
It's an interesting thought, but ultimately him having mediocre arm strength and accuracy would matter far more.

You nailed it.

Hopefully this means Goldin drops either later today or Tuesday!
Then get Mahaney out of Omaha without a commitment (he posted Sunday on Instagram that he was there) and bring him to A2 and close the deal.
When did Wingdings leave 247?
Poor Danny, no love on the front page!
That YPA is pretty bad. It's a glorified scrimmage, though, so whatever.
Unless you think apologies are just be excuses by another name, I'd hardly call that genuine or sincere.

Weird flex but okay.
This was Iowa's second straight championship game loss. They lost to awful Kim Mulkey last year, hence the "first" designation.
Bad take.
…
"Big-time recruiter"
hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha
Correct.
Both sides kinda seemed to be sick of one another, so this is basically a parachute for Enfield to start over in Dallas.
Freshmen can get in without issue and there seems to be optimism with sophomores now, too. Michigan has reached out to a few this cycle.
AJ Storr and James Blackwell were far better than Essegian.
1-15 are in. 16-18 go pound sand.

Indiana #15 Big Ten seed incoming!!
Yes.
May is all but locked up to Louisville. On to the next one.
Anthony Grant is more likely to retire than be Michigan's next coach.
I think he's Phil, Jr.
Almost every sentence in the OP is incorrect. Impressive.
The assembled group of players just went 8-24. I mean no will toward those guys, but the new coach having a clean slate is a good thing.
That's definitely a good thing.
2020-21 is the COVID year. Terrance has one more season of eligibility.
Dickinson announced he was transferring about a week before Love committed to Michigan. I don't think the two were related. I do think it was him no longer believing that Michigan could win and the lack of NIL that he got.
He wasn't going to resign. The only way he wasn't going to be the coach was if they fired him.
