What if we pulled a Miami 2.0 in 2026

So, currently South Carolina doesn't have a 12th game scheduled for the 2026 season and as we know, they've kicked the can down the road on their visit to Boone and few of us believe that return trip will ever happen. Dowell Loggains and Doug Gillin have an opportunity to do the funniest thing ever!...

Re: Portal time 25-26

I don't care who portals out because I never bothered to learn these players' names anyway. Bye Felicia!

Re: Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!

Disappointed but unsurprised that the score act didn’t even make it to a vote. It would’ve given the CSC power to set some enforceable rules.

Re: SI The Rock video

Funny, for a video about how great the stadium is, the story barely touched on it at all. Glad they didn’t mention the giant cracks running through the east stands or the claustrophobic concourses. 😅 How do you talk about how great the fans and the stadium are but feature almost no clips of packed s...

It is funny you say it that way and it is true...We won't know until next year......Which is quite the change from a few years ago when we wouldn't know about these guys for 2-3 years.

Re: Recruiting

A lot can change*, but as-of 10:45am on December 3rd, App has the #1 class in the Sun Belt in total points (helped out by the fact we're taking a bigger class than most) and average rating. The #59 class overall. And we're the only program in the Sun Belt that has signed a 4-star out of high school ...

Re: MBB vs Elon, 11/24 - 6:30pm

My, how so many of you forget that Kerns took us to our third NCAA tournament ever (first in 21 years) in his second year. And he had the most wins in program history just 2 years ago, beating the SEC champion in the process and going undefeated at home. It was also the first outright regular seaso...

Re: MBB vs Elon, 11/24 - 6:30pm

So the expectation is for our coach to basically rebuild a roster every year with portal pieces (probably down grades at best) and make them gel into a 20 win team? Uh good luck with that. Basically. Yeah. Other programs are doing it and having success. I don’t like it but it’s the way it is right ...

Re: MBB vs Elon, 11/24 - 6:30pm

It'd take a candid converstion with Dustin to find out if he's at his ceiling or if he feels like more NIL support on-par with the top 2 or 3 in the Sun Belt could push him to the next level. We all have heard how cash-strapped most athletic departments are, so it'd be a big ask for us to commit ano...

Re: MBB vs Elon, 11/24 - 6:30pm

I’m not a “fire Kerns” guy because I think he’s done a great job rebuilding the program after it was out to lunch for a decade, but I can see that where we’re at is probably his ceiling. Maybe, occasionally he’ll have a season like 2021 but 4th place in the SBC is who he is as a coach. We have to de...

MBB vs Elon, 11/24 - 6:30pm

Elon’s 3-2 and the #258 team in KenPom. We’re #215. They can score. They’re in the 80s and 90s multiple times this season.

Re: FB vs the Thundering Turds, Sat at 2:30

DL has to prove he can recruit a game changer. Whether that’s a QB, a RB, or WR. Even if it’s a guy we lose after a great season or two. It’s only been 1 year with a shortened off season so I’m not bashing him for not having done it this season. And he’s got to show a lot more creativity in his sche...

Re: MBB: UNC Harrisburg in Boone, 6:30pm 11/21

Give me a proven FCS or juco QB that can run and will come to App for less money than an unproven power conference guy. Spend the difference on basketball. For what we spend, basketball is currently a much better ROI. QB at Western Carolina, Taron Dickens is undersized but a stud. Ought to be a big...

Re: MBB: UNC Harrisburg in Boone, 6:30pm 11/21

Their message board is unraveling over this loss 😂. But if one of their posters is accurate, and they’re spending $2m on NIL to our $400k, that’s eye opening from the perspective that Kearns needs more support. https://forums.ninernation.net/t/2025-26-49er-mbb-game-5-app-state-11-21-6-30pm-espn/38699
