Every time I see a block I shake my head in disgust. I guess I will get over this loss one day.

Does not look like he is going to Louisville either. The potential for next year is very high if he stays so fingers are crossed.

I seriously doubt any P5 is going to pursue Kerns. He might get a step up to mid major program that is a consistent winner but I don't think he has the resume to make the jump to a P5/6 program.
Though after all the bad news this morning, he may looking really hard to exit. We're not likely to have a season anywhere as productive as this year.

Seeing Wake fans recruiting Abson saying he would be a good depth piece off the bench has me even more infuriated....

Given they have four players 6'10" or taller, I'm not sure they would pursue him that hard. And, for sure he's not going to start a head of Reid, who clearly outperformed Abson in their match up.

Our only chance at sustained mid major success is to become a premier place to develop players for higher levels of play whether that be the top teams or the nba draft.
I don't see keeping players as the biggest problem. To me the biggest problem is being able to keep a coach that can develop a program long term without them getting poached.
I hate that the players are leaving but that is a free market economy.

College sports isn’t a “free market economy”. Just start with the “P5/P4”.appdaze wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 12:42 pmOur only chance at sustained mid major success is to become a premier place to develop players for higher levels of play whether that be the top teams or the nba draft.

It's more of one now than it's ever been. I'm not sure what you mean with just start with p4/p5. Our major companies, investors, and qealth generators control our economy. The top conferences, schools, media formats control college sports.MountainMan2020 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 2:02 pmCollege sports isn’t a “free market economy”.
