Imagine adding Felix, Jacobi, and Nate to the current roster. Sign me up. @Potato_Quest been on this one.

It's been quiet on the portal front for Nebraska this week. Too quiet. That should change this afternoon, as I expect the Huskers to land a new transfer commitment. I can't give the name yet out of respect for the player's wishes, but it's an intriguing piece. Stay tuned...

@SherrellMcMillan are we gonna be adding any players that could potentially be starter material? Or is the remaining of the targets more of fill ins?

[TABLE] [TR] [TD]Statement from President Capilouto: “Mitch Barnhart came to me earlier this week to share his concern that the discussion surrounding his future role leading our sports workforce initiative has become a distraction from the work of our university. Mitch and his family care deeply about this institution and our state, and they want the focus to return to the work that matters most for our students and the Commonwealth. With that in mind, Mitch has informed me that he will retire from his position of Athletics Director on June 30 and step away from the proposed ongoing role leading the Sports Workforce Initiative at the university. Over the next several weeks, he and I will work through the terms of his departure, through a process guided by his contract. The compensation associated with his departure will be supported entirely by private funds — not athletic funds, not funds that would go toward NIL opportunities or university funds — that I will raise. Mitch’s impact on this university has been profound, and I am grateful for his decades of leadership and service.” – Eli Capilouto Statement from Mitch Barnhart: “When Connie and I came here 24 years ago, our goal was to do a great job for the University of Kentucky before whatever became the next phase of our journey. We fell in love with this place — especially the people — and we are thankful for the opportunities given us by Dr. Capilouto and Dr. Todd. What we thought was the next step in our path became our destination. It is difficult to put into words how much UK means to us. Our hearts continue to be full of love and appreciation for this institution. With our family previously having made the decision to retire in June from the position of Athletics Director, we were very excited about beginning the Workforce Initiative, developing a new program and pouring into the next generation of leaders in sports. Work has already begun on the Initiative but recently it has become apparent that now is not the right time and we would never stand in the way of what we deem best. The world of sports is dynamic and ever-changing. It is my hope that this initiative will continue in the future. As Connie and I reflect on our time here, our hope is that our contributions have made a positive impact on the lives of our students, coaches and staff, and the Big Blue Nation. We cherish the wonderful relationships we have made and look forward to any ways we can continue to serve. Go Cats!” – Mitch Barnhart[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

They are in full meltdown mode over Mark Pope's whiffs in the portal. lol

The fact he would even talk to him and do this I wouldn’t say Kentucky is completely out of the race yet

Oats' new contract extension has officially been approved by the UA System Board of Trustees compensation committee. His annual average salary will increase from $6.275 million to $7.25 million by the end of the deal in March 2032, six years from now. The buyout is set at $15M through March 2027, which then drops to $12M through March 2028.

It's a 7-year extension that will pay him an annual salary of $12.5 million through January 31, 2033. Buyout if he leaves is $10 million through Jan. 31, 2027, $8 million the next year and then $6 million. If he is fired without cause, Alabama owes DeBoer 90% of the contract's remaining compensation.

but I'm glad we gave that Saban dude another season to get it right in 2009.

Kennesaw State forward Braedan Lue is visiting Tennessee starting Wednesday. The 6-foot-9, 235-pound Lue is averaging 10.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in 68 career games. He was named to the Conference USA all-defensive team as a sophomore. He blocked 42 shots.

According to Tony Garcia

He just is

I keep hearing the IC Staff say it is unrealistic meanwhile it clearly appears Duke will have starter level players 1-5 on their bench, plus I see Tennessee and Louisville racking up. If UNC wants to compete for a championship, that’s what it will take.

It was all a Basilio hoax!

I mean, c’mon
