    On the “win now” vs. “develop young players” debate

    Mario understands his own shortcomings, which is something that some of his predecessors didn't. He understands that he needs to have a top end roster to win at a high level, because he will never be a strong tactical coach. He also understands that when you come across a high end QB, you need...

    Omier enters name in NBA draft

    I think that some blue blood gave him a crazy offer. It's obvious that Omier loved his time at Miami, he loved playing for L, but this is a business and someone made him the kind of offer that is going to be life changing. I don't blame him for taking advantage. I've come to the realization...

    Omier enters name in NBA draft

    The people that hated L before the two huge runs are coming out of the woodwork once again. None of us should be surprised, we have a lot of toxic, moronic fans in our fanbase. I'm convinced there is a portion of the fanbase that lives to make things toxic, almost like they actively dislike...

    Who stays. Who goes

    I can see him being a high volume scorer at ASU, Ole Miss, Temple and St. Johns. If he heads to Kentucky, Kansas or Villanova, odds are he will be a secondary scorer, but get a ton of minutes. The question is what matters more to him. Personal glory(But being on a crap team), or maybe being a...

    Who stays. Who goes

    He also started breaking down defensively, and that used to be something he did well. It's like he got frustrated because he wasn't what he thought he'd be offensively and it bled into his overall game. It was weird, but unless someone I trust gives me the scoop, I will not call a guy a...

    Who stays. Who goes

    I wouldn't call it a roster management failure, a lot of people, including NBA scouts/GMs wanted to see how his game evolved as he developed. There wasn't any indication that he wouldn't thrive with additional opportunities, seeing how the light came on for him during last year's Final Four...

    Who stays. Who goes

    He also has a solid relationship with L, L has always been his biggest supporter. That said, he may not be prepared to go back to being a bench guy, especially when he's seen what he can be when he's right mentally. I wish him well, but chemistry is a thing and you can't have a guy that isn't...

    Who stays. Who goes

    Unless you have legit insider information, you may want to hold off on calling dudes cancers. Amazing how when he was a guy comfortable in his role, he was hustling, high energy guy that L loved. As his role changed, injuries piled up and he started pressing, and you could see that he mentally...

    Official Womens Basketball Head Coach (Tricia Cullop official)

    Spearman to Tennessee Day-Wilson to LSU Tough losses, but at least I can justify these departures. You are playing for either a legendary coach or a big name program. That said, it's amazing how Meier held this roster together, the moment she announced her retirement, everyone bailed...

    Official Womens Basketball Head Coach (Tricia Cullop official)

    Rebounding support will be needed. Still want more bigs, but at least Coach Cullop is working the portal. Wonder whether Spearman considers coming back, she has a "Do Not Contact" in the portal, haven't heard about any visits. Maybe Cullop sells her on coming back. I will say this, Miami...

    They handing out participation trophies in Trailerhassee

    Yes, we also issued bowl rings after major bowl wins, even if it wasn't for a title. In "The U" Lamar Thomas discussed how he used to give them away to girls on Spring Break, because they didn't mean that much to him.

    They handing out participation trophies in Trailerhassee

    I hate to point out the obvious, but these are ACC Championship rings, which are issued whether they went 13-0 in the regular season, or 8-4. Unconquered is their tagline, it's used on everything, no matter if they were undefeated or not. I'm quite sure their ACC Tournament rings from years...

    I can confirm Miami is working hard on transfers right now..

    Players do this, were you up in arms when Wong went through the process multiple times, but returned? Just because you don't know anything, doesn't mean that Omier isn't talking to L and the staff as he moves through the process. Fans need to realize that just because people aren't spilling...

    4/21/24 Game 40: Louisville 17-22 W

    The only thing that gives me hope is if the boosters that made this hire possible turn on JD and we can move on from this ASAP. There's no way that JD can overcome such a disaster of a season. Oh well.

    The portal wave was overhyped....

    Logic and rational thought is not allowed around here. A lot of the top end guys that are high priority targets haven't made a decision, many haven't even completed their visits. Why the panic? Breathe out and let the process run its course.

    Official Womens Basketball Head Coach (Tricia Cullop official)

    I'm quite sure they are already seeing people, you don't have to cape for them that hard. Let's be honest, the Cavinder twins are an entity where you have one solid, dedicated basketball player, and one that plays because the money is better than practically any other field she could get into...

    Official Womens Basketball Head Coach (Tricia Cullop official)

    There's a lot more to the story. Haley wanted to return to Miami after the E8 run, but only if her sister came back with her. The issue is that Hanna didn't want to(Mostly because it was obvious that she was moving towards the end of the bench, due to Meier wanting more scoring punch), so they...

    Official Womens Basketball Head Coach (Tricia Cullop official)

    That justifies signing her sister, at least you now have a solid guard to give heavy minutes to. Pretty sure their NIL take isn’t nearly as high as it was 2 years ago. Lots of budget remaining, let’s see what Cullop does to complete the roster.

    Official Womens Basketball Head Coach (Tricia Cullop official)

    When this is the only signing thus far, despite losing practically every single key piece outside of a player coming back from an ACL and Jas Roberts, that's a huge problem. Cullop needs a splash, because it's not looking good so far. That said, the women's portal moves slower than the men, so...

    Official Womens Basketball Head Coach (Tricia Cullop official)

    Miss me with this weak nonsense. This is a weak signing, and people should question why Cullop is out here taking mediocre role players, while players who should be part of the build are racing to the portal. The only reason this makes sense is if her sister decides to leave TCU and return...
