    Disappointing start to baseball SEC play for sure. Leading off with ranked opponents doesn't help, either. Feels like the same rationalization for losing that I used for MBB, though.
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    I think baseball is in a similar situation to other sports here recently -- talent deprivation. I don't know how much blame goes to Kingston vs Mainieri for our current players, but there is a definite shortage of good arms and bats. Right now, I guess we are going to have to be patient and hope we have the right coach.

    "There's a school in the SEC that was in the tournament that offered Collin Murray-Boyles $2.5M to play for them next year," SEC Network's Peter Burns tweeted. https://www.si.com/college/southcar...y-boyles-2-5-million-to-transfer-01jqpcwacnfg

    I don't expect CMB to be back anyway, He will probably be a 1st round draft pick. I am curious how much he already makes NIL here? They did say he picked up a couple extra "contributors" after last season so he may be making more than a million here. If he decided to stay one more year, garnet trust would probably get him more, but after this season, it may be hard to raise money for the team.
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    In the same interview with Peter Burns, Coach Paris stated (paraphrase here), that NIL demands for any starter in the portal starts with "M" (million).
  • Blitzkrieg @ Blitzkrieg:
    The entire NIL thing is sickening. It's ruining college sports.

    It was the Honor Roll kids that got Frank his 20-win seasons here, not something else. Lamont has the same core values. Coaches who know how to coach kids up right don't really need to let themselves be put over an NIL barrel. This stuff happens all the time in the real world.
  • kingofnerf @ kingofnerf:
    CMB was solid on his free throws last year, but shaky this year. I think the whole team rested on their laurels this year and it bit 'em.
  • C @ crowcutta:
    paris can coach but in a conference as difficult as this going up against other good coaches with better talent he fought a losing battle this year. he did a great job of aquiring talent during the 2023 offseason, didnt do a good enough job this past offseason.
  • C @ crowcutta:
    i dont think the players rested on their laurels as much as they werent ready or capable or replacing what we lost.

    Texas wins a low-scoring game against TCU last night 58-47. Our game with them might be the same, but you never know. Fulwiley might bust out.
  • kingofnerf @ kingofnerf:
    UCONN over USCw 78-64. I'm all about roundball this week.
  • kingofnerf @ kingofnerf:
    After the UCLA loss, I thought we were a Sweet 16 team at best, but anything further was doubtful. Glad the girls proved me wrong.
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    Based on our play in the Tourney to date, we definitely lucked out in our draw for the bracket. We should be able to beat Texas for third time, but not if we play at the same level we have the past two games. We need to definitely get some offensive swag back. I think if we make it to the finals, we would be an underdog to either Uconn or UCLA.

    I think Coach Paris missed Grey and Federick though BBV hustled his ass off and had his moments we needed one more big to rebound and be a defensive stoppers
  • GMB2USC23 @ GMB2USC23:
    The Ladies gotta great draw and should best TX for a rematch to try and make up for their worst loss of the season and another title!! Kitts has been that dog when needed and it feels like Edward's and Fulwiley are due a break out tourney game
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    Meechie is back.
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    Buzz Williams is leaving Texas A&M for the Maryland job. For maybe 3 years...seems to be about the length of his tenure at any one job.
  • kingofnerf @ kingofnerf:
    I think I said Rick a few days ago but his son Richard Pitino going to Xavier after Sean Miller left his alma mater for NCST.
  • FurmanCock @ FurmanCock:
    A little strange that the only 3 teams SC lost to all year are the other 3 teams in the Final Four. Raven needs to reinstate the Revenge Tour from last year.

    And each of the 4 teams are built a little different from each other.

    . That’s a case of someone who’s getting bad advice… likely from family. Portal won’t help improve his PT, unless he drops to a mid-major. SMH at this one.
  • Blitzkrieg @ Blitzkrieg:
    Well Paris pretty much refused to play him so.....
  • kingofnerf @ kingofnerf:
    The way things are these days, Lamont could have started him every game and the same thing might have happened. The portal gives me brain fog.
