Wonder where both New Mexico & CSU go to hire their new coaches?

I agree with the guys you mentioned but Hicks is out of control all the freaking time, maybe Josh can perform some developmental magic but I ain’t holding my breath. This guy has been disappointing to say the least!

I think Hicks as the motor and the athleticism to be really good, I just don't think he's been developed properly. His fundamentals, especially on defense are really poor. I personally would stop treating him like a combo guard and figure out how to either improve his handles and distribution OR his outside shooting. I wanted to keep him (and Pape over Bear) because I think those are excellent indicators of the new staff's ability to develop.

No, he has done it at least once, with Moses Wright.

I don't ever feel that one is a pattern, Wright did turn into an all ACC player so maybe it's there, just not as prevalent as him getting guards to the NBA.

99% feeling that Lindy's gone and Roman or Mia are not the new leader.

Roman and Mia, are not Head Coaching material.
Neither, is Karlie Burris.

Losing Lindy would hurt

I will miss Lindy, if she is gone.
We, need a great coach to fill her shoes.
AD Erick Harper, will need to hire another basketball coach.
I hope Lindy stays. We shall see.

Lindy to Arizona?

Brackens is gone.

Hicks has the motor, quickness and tenacity to be a good player. But lacking any kind of shot and structure . Hope CJP can get more out of him.

I’ve come to the realization that the G’s can’t compete with the P’s anymore.

FIU vs SDSU in the FF was a fluke. Now both teams are depleted and the entire S16 is P’s.

That’s why I’d view a run to a S16 the same as a FF. The odds are really stacked against us (us meaning all G’s).

The day of the underdogs are gone. NIL has killed CBB. They need to make it about bit of a even playing field. For one put the contracts out there so everyone knows how much they are getting paid. So agents can't lie. Let everyone know when schools default on payments, allow for multiple degrees so they can play 7-8 years to even the playing field. If some compromises are not made then you might as well as split P4 UP with the rest of DIV1,

Sad day. Our roster is being depleted.

How many students enrolled at UNLV in the early 90's because of Basketball. I did, my wife did, basically everyone I knew did.

Not me. As soon as I heard “Harvard of the West” I said, “Dammit. Where do I sign up for this?”

How much do we attribute to the player and how much do we attribute to the staff for the lack of development?

“Hicks was a wild player, out of control.” Ok he was here for 2 seasons and we knew that from day one. Yet it doesn’t seem like he was reigned in, lack of system? Drills? Idk if we can pin these things on the player.

Of course it’s on the player. Kids these days are allowed to be responsible for their successes and failures.

I think schools will need to find a way to have players sign contracts so they can keep their services for 2 or 3 years. At least assign a buyout for the player so the school losing his services receives compensation. Make the P5 schools pay through the nose for them

Exactly. That’s how it works in every professional league. But guess there are one year deals which which is where we are at today.

That's the next step.. include buyout or finders fees

It's getting ridiculous. Soon only big schools will be able to afford players, and schools with big-time donors like BYU. Is there a mega-billionaire or oil sheikh UNLV can go tap?

Soon is actually now.

Seriously though what is the ROI for a school like UNLV? Spend $7.5 million on 5 starters and increase your attendance from 3,000-15,000 add in other revenue and exposure doesnt that pay for itself? How many students enrolled at UNLV in the early 90's because of Basketball. I did, my wife did, basically everyone I knew did.

Boyd and Gwath from SDSU are in too.

From the SDUT:
"Dutcher estimated Gwath will command “in excess of $1 million, maybe as high as $1.5 million or $1.7 million” the way the market is trending this spring."
