I don’t know whether that is true or not.
What I CAN tell you for certain is that I saw most of the players in a pick-up game at the Strom Thurmond Wellness & Fitness Center about 30-45 minutes after his official announcement as coach (which the players were supposedly at).
It does not mean that at all @kingofnerf. Senior day is literally what it says… those who are In their senior year academically. Some players graduate early (due to having enough classes), and others graduate as grad students who finish their eligibility on the court, though they may still be...
It’ll be interesting to see if Key sticks around. He’s got the most to gain by having a much improved final season, since he was a fairly serious NBA consideration a few years ago. But going elsewhere could improve his profile as well
But that doesn’t mean it HAS to be that amount. McMahon was a hot commodity, so he could command his price. Don’t get me wrong… I want Coach Paris to succeed. Heck, I want GG to come play for him. Does that mean $2.2M? I’m not in a position to say one way or the other. Just seems steep...
Don’t take this the wrong way, but it’s obvious our athletics department is not getting on top of this Lamont Paris thing. Both Dawn Staley and Shane Beamer tweeted out “welcome” messages in response to the official announcement. Lamont Paris has NO SOCIAL MEDIA accounts of his own, so won’t...
This new contract is a head scratcher…
$2.2M in his first year. He went from $250k annually to 2.2M and averaging $2.4M over the next 5 years. If he’s fired without cause, USC owes him 65% of his remaining contract. (I think I saw where that’s the equivalent of $5M in year #1).
I don’t wish...
It’s being reported that Erik Stevenson is now in the portal, the first player from the Frank Martin-led 2021-22 squad to do so.
I won’t be surprised to see Jermaine Cousinard, Wildens Leveque, and Keyshawn Bryant too far behind.
@GMB2USC23 … I’m just going to leave that comment to you to make your own judgement upon. You’ve got some crazy bone to pick with me, like I’m Ray Tanner or something. I don’t get it, especially since I just defended Frank Martin, but whatever…
@Blitzkrieg… I just want to comment here on the perception that Coach Martin’s SEC record was terrible. IDK if you have thought about this or not, but Martin was 77-99 in the SEC.
Here’s how he stacks up against every other coach we have had since joining the SEC:
- Eddie Fogler (57-71 in 8...
I didn’t think he was as harsh as perhaps @TheYancey felt he was. Sounded to me that if there were any sour grapes, it was toward former President Caslen and perhaps Ray Tanner.
Like it or not, Coach Martin is right. He had the best stretch of USC basketball since the 1970’s. His record in...
Good on Justin. Great kid, and hated to see him go, but he truly needed a fresh start somewhere else with no baggage attached. Injuries just bit that poor kid to death at USC.
@Swayin, couldn’t agree more. Tanner may have some irons in the fire which we don’t know about. He may pull off a “I’m gonna steal Jamie Dixon from TCU” or a “Got Chris Beard hooked” move. Let’s pray that’s the case. But so far the hand Tanner has shown has not looked like he was dealt any...
And that was a big part of his ultimate undoing this year. The lack of consistency with players from year to year bit him. ESPECIALLY with his big man play this season. I think the world of the man… I truly do. I personally know several players from his K-State days as well as a number from...
We get to endure rants from one certain poster (who shall remain nameless) concerning why Frank was the best coach ever here (which he legit may be), and why all of us “so called fans” are wrong for not having supported him this year.
That’s about all, other than the excitement of another head...
@FeatheredCock… you’ve now explained the problem for the last 5 seasons… we’ve had Cheech Marin coaching for us all along (see title of thread)! I knew Frank looked different… I assumed it was the COVID and alopecia. 😂😂😂
