    No school is safe

    Why can't schools include buyouts in these deals they're giving out to these players? 1) it might help maintain continuity for programs of the buyout is too much for other schools and 2) the schools constantly being poached can atleast be rewarded financially.

    OT: Israel vs Iran

    I had a wtf? look on my face when I read that Iran had launched its attack and that it would take 6 or 7 hours to reach Israel.

    Jace Whiting

    Me neither IF he can back up the point otherwise it makes no sense. He is a good 3pt shooter but as someone stated he only took about 30 3s this past season. Still have to add a couple of impact players to help DJ and Whaley. The bench is ok, now we need to sign starters.

    Memphis home and home scheduled.

    Memphis has a great program back in the early-mid 80s. When you came to Vegas you must have thought having a national superpower basketball program was just normal.

    First portal commit

    Not a 3 but it took me 30 min to find these two guys that are listed at point guard in the portal. Vasean Allen(old dom, freshman) 17ppg, 6rpg, 3apg - dismissed from team in Jan for conduct unbecoming yada yada. Had 6 20+ point games with highs of 30, 28, and 27. Eric Acker(vmi, freshman)...

    First portal commit

    Just let it play out and see what kind of roster CKK ends up with. I don't think this is a bad pick up as long as he plays hard, plays unselfishly and doesn't going around driving drunk and crashing into people. Joshua Jefferson and a legit starting shooting guard would be great. Still need a...

    If this is true.....

    With the amounts being thrown around they don't have the recruits sign some kind of contract? I don't know anything about how they dispense NIL money.

    If this is true.....

    We have *buy outs for coaches, why not start it with players? Make those P5 schools pay even more if that's the way it's going to be.

    This is not going 2 $ tickets.

    It would've been more entertaining if they filmed it first thing in the morning right after he woke up. No make up, no changing clothes, no combing his hair, just raw footage with a bright light shining in his face as he does his pitch.

    Pfft, hello we're paying players! The NCAA is going through the motions trying to act like it's still relevant.

    The reality of NIL

    I think people are thinking of the mob days when casino owners were actual people and not corporations and they liked being attached to winners like Tark. If we're going to do anything big we better do it before whatever big boosters we have left pass away.

    The reality of NIL

    I really don't know how anyone expects any coach to pull in 4 and 5 star recruits here without some serious booster backing. It isn't even about tv exposure, the coaching staff or facilities anymore. Screw your tradition, give me my money!

    Ahhhhh

    Petty but I don't care. Makes me smile whenever Duke, UNR, or UCLA go down.

    Totally outclassed this game. 18 assists to 7 for us. Half our turnovers. 8 steals to our 1. We're rebounding well though!

    KH

    So if the draft doesn't pan out he will have a nice NIL package for whichever school hires him. Imagine if we had those rules during Tark's tenure? Just have the mob guys, the Jewelers guy and JJ beepers sponsor Larry Johnson, Chris Mills, J.R. Rider, etc.

    Rice, Rice, baby

    One of Rice's biggest failings was not bringing in a top tier point guard to run things. If he had brought in someone of Jaylen Fisher's calibur his first or second year he could've done for the program what DJ is doing now. A pass first point guard could've had a field day distributing to guys...

    OT: Movies 2023!!!

    Here ya go: The Hidden - 80s scifi action overshadowed by the likes of The Terminator and Aliens but every bit as good imo. The Blob - Remake of the 1950s movie but with far better and gorier practical effects. It's a great mindless 80s scifi/monster movie. Upgrade - Paralyzed guy has an AI...

    Future of CKK

    If he wins consistently playing ugly, earning NCAA postseason bids almost every year, we'll learn to love it just like Aztec fans have. After salvaging what could have been a disaster of a season with a respectable finish I am more than ok with CKK getting another year to prove he knows what...

    Silver lining is that CKK is 4-1 vs. Alford and UNR. Sometimes coaches just do well against certain coaches. Hope that plays out today.
