Marsh leaving is a good thing. Was he a problem? Not happy with minutes I assume? He was a PG, a Freshman PG at that, and led the team in shots taken per minute played. He put up .46 shots per minutes played. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but the next highest was .37. Gregory was .33 per minute fo...

You should win a game when you score twelve runs, unless you give up 12. The one thing you can say about this team, you can never count them out with their ability to score runs. Of course, with only one reliable starting pitcher, it's hard to think we can last long against the top of the league.

It's clear that NIL has not been the sole motivating factor for these departures. In terms of leaving for greener pastures, so far, only Spillers going to Wake fits that category. I assume Abson will make the jump to a higher level. It is a bit perplexing. I do understand that folks have their reaso...

Hope we don’t let them become a rival. Do that by beating them consistently. This line of thinking was why I scratched my head when our fans rushed the field after beating CCU at home in 2022. Regardless of their record at that point, we'd beaten them four of the last five meetings. I just didn't s...

Harcum going to Murray State? That makes absolutely zero sense unless he's simply getting a paycheck. If some of our players transferred to get 3 more minutes a game screw them. Murray State is a way better program than ours. They’ve made it to the second round of the tourney 4x since 2010. We’ve b...

From what I've been reading, it seems there is more good than bad with Everts tenure at App. If after 10 years, you can say that you left a place better off than when you arrived, that absolutely is a success. Not sure why, other than not being as active as Peacock (which is tough to follow), so ma...

Interesting view from someone who has insight into Everts' role in the Sun Belt:

It seems that it was time to go and many had turned against for a number reasons. But, it should be noted that during her tenure the university experienced incredible growth in both infrastructure, financial strength, and student demographics. One simply needs to look at the West campus for the chan...

It’s not that I didn’ like it, the logic is strange. Nope not really. Most coaches usually use them as a low risk sandbox to give younger guys more seasoning. If you never play the young guys, you’ll never know what to expect from them when the pressure is on. You don't see that much at APP. Correc...

That's at least three that have left the program not counting the recent decommitment.

The Spring is a tough time for App sports. Women's Tennis is the only team in the top half of the conference standings and they are 7th. Baseball is 9th and softball is 11th out of 12 teams.

App. St. can have both ..focus on academics and athletics. Whether people like it or not, App..St. would not had the growth etc. and potentially not in SBC without focusing on Athletics or providing an environment to succeed in athletics. Some may disagree..and that is fine. I want someone that emb...

We are in a three way tie for ninth.

Should be an excellent crowd today. Best weather day of the year?
Bark at the park!

I didn’t know we have a vet tech degree, that’s pretty cool!

I think we are in the 2nd or 3rd year of the program.

Presser for Coach Sharp.

Am I the only one that isn't going to pull for players when they leave App? I'm not rooting against them, but I don't feel any lingering ties to a player that transfer. I'll caveat that with the exception of grad transfers. Exactly. Even the caveat. After Donavan Gregory raised the bar for loyalty…...

We are talking about amateur athletes getting paid $25-$100k (on top of a $25k scholarship and $6k stipend annually) to play in front of maybe 5k people and on ESPN+ with less than 30k viewers. I recommend reading that sentence out loud to realize how crazy and unsustainable this is for anyone outs...

I read a 247 article that says the median basketball NIL spending for 2024-25 will be $1.5m per team.

That is among power programs. The Sun Belt average is about 200k I heard.

Correct.
