We can all take guesses... why? Because no one has said a word about the whole team leaving and a coach who has not declared that he is still the coach. Exactly! And it is 100% fair to wonder because Kerns has tried multiple times to get other jobs since he got here. We also know that because of th...

Isn't it more likely that these guys played for Kerns, not App. If they know Kerns is out the door, there's no reason to stick around Boone. Our basketball program has basically been garbage. That's why I've been so concerned about keeping Kerns. Obviously I don't know that he is leaving, but to me...

I think some are gone: Abson, Spillers, Brown. I think we may see some of the others return. Think of it as entering your name into the draft to see how you’d do then withdrawing before deadline. If Kerns announces a new/updated deal then I am thinking the same thing. There has to be some type of a...

Back to the portal. I really hope Marsh isn't leaving for one of these teams. https://twitter.com/CoachJonesMPB/status/1773438248095744299?t=2QtASDq-aLnrbObBdKF0Sw&s=19 We have a huge problem in college sports. There is an idea that the grass is always greener on the other side and it isn't. I thin...

Did anyone see Caleb Love’s comments about why he transferred out of Carolina. It’s an interesting read and something that some of our players, and their parents deal with from our fans. https://tarheeltribune.com/2024/03/27/love-says-fan-criticism-hatred-made-last-season-at-unc-tough/ I thought th...

So basically the entire team wants out? How bad is this program? That's a very serious question. We were good this year. Next year could have been next level. We were already receiving votes. And basically the ENTIRE team wants out. There needs to be some answers. All I can say is we are not alone....

Maybe this is a negotiation tactic. Kerns demands a BIG raise and if they meet it then all these guys on portal come back with him. If not, everybody is gone? Basically team union forcing school to up coaches salary or else. Who knows? Does anybody have a better explanation? I doubt it. Who wants t...

Well, we needed some spots to open up unfortunately. Imagine we will pick up some immediate contributors in the portal. It’s worked out well for us so far. Rosters have a way of working themselves out. Does anyone know our scholarship count now? I would bet we are not at 85 anymore and have some ro...

If #TeamClark had this many players leaving (81% of roster) after the season of success everyone would want him fired. You can't compare this to JMU -- JMU DOES NOT HAVE A COACH CURRENTLY. No winning team across the country with their coach STILL in place is having this big an issue. If Shawn Clark...

Well, we can sell portal guys that every starting position is an open competition..

100%. The bad news is a lot of players have entered the portal but the good news is that we can offer that!

The buyout is only $350k It needs to at least be raised to 1M if we get a new deal with him. That would likely keep a mid-major from plucking him but would still not stop a power program, which is fine. That would require a new contract. I know and I think we should be working on one. The current b...

None of us know what’s going on. But I would like to think our administration knows what’s going on, and is prepared. GO APPS!! Based on what????? You just have no faith in the administration so you? No. Given his body of work, and his starting point, Kerns should make at least as much as Clark. He...

Do we actually pull scholarships now from guys that never develop enough to get significant playing time? Seems like it’s happening in football, maybe not at App. With the portal, this is definitely a thing. You don’t perform, you’re asked to leave. I don't know about basketball but I have no doubt...

Bye bye Harcum. Fold the program. (kidding, kinda) Wild thought. But what if we are actually better next year. That is a very wild thought at the moment. If Kerns can win 30 games and the conference championship, build a statue and lifetime contract. He would get a major P5 job after he lost 90% of...
