I’m just not sure how this will help when other schools have gone after UM backups, pay them as a starter and UM refuses (assuming here) to pay them that caliber of money. Seems like UM needs to get more donors and I thought that was the point of the head coach?
Genuine question. Whats the point of hiring Altius and Mrs. Whitehead? If UM, believes in Transformational vs Transactional, do they really need these many people spear heading NIL? Are they setting up a program to be proactive once rules are inevitably adopted? I would just think it’d be (somewhat) easy to hear what retaining players need to stay, and what transfer portal guys want, then make it happen? I’m sure I’m trivializing this but it seems like they’re some middle men that can be taken out given UMs stance on NIL?
Don’t choose those UM players except for Edwards and CL. If Luther burden is there, that’s a good option. Upcoming league should get you underwood, Moore, Jeremiah smith, or any osu WRs. Until proven otherwise I’m taking OSU’s wrs
NCAA had every and I mean it, every opportunity to fix this Wild Wild West. So while I get your argument that they didn’t want this to happen, they also shouldn’t have kept their heads buried. Fans saw it coming. Coaches and players saw it coming. Why was the ncaa not trying to get ahold of this? Why not listen to Harbaugh’s idea’s that are now becoming a reality? Had NCAA been preemptive and adopting policies, I don’t think the state of football would be where it’s at.
Time to take a step back in off season and recruiting. The NIL and NCAA has seemingly made this into a joke where kids cans transfer and transfer back within a semester now, regardless what the reason may be. The lack of non-existent rules has really made the recruiting part dumb. Anyways, good luck AW. Welcome back, big dog.
He’s also been well documented on his podcasts he would be in favor of tampering like UK and other teams are doing. I think he doesn’t want to call out players.
Burned the bridge as far as UK is concerned. I also think his new schtick, “it’s cal university, and I just moved down the street” sales tactic really pissed off the fans. To your point, I am think they have that initial love the every other school he went to. Jerry jones also a huge contributor for funneling money with them as well. But from everything I have read, they’re a football school and do not care as much as basketball.
Ark gave him the bag. They gave him a million plus for his services. Big rumor mill (UK sources have mentioned this) is that arky and donors are doubling payments for any recruit that was going to UK. Yet, another bridge that Cal has burned. Would love to see Davis jump into the draft now.
Ah hell, people are figuring it out. Michigan deployed the greatest heist of all time. They scouted 30+ teams for tfe last three years. They even knew who they were playing in the playoffs and started “cheating” before the season started! How else could they even possibly go 15-0?!? Talent? Development? Better coaching? Lol gtfo
IIRC, I believe Webb went onto the podcast saying he believes UM will reach out in the portal for a big WR. Can’t remember about corner and I believe this was before DJ announcing his transfer. I’d imagine they might reach out to one of those said CB’s but who knows.
Interesting. I scour the UK basketball pages daily and have never heard or seen anything about this. I’m presuming you’re talking about Bradshaw or Wagner but even then I find it hard to believe. UK is having a hard time atm paying players in the basketball front. The theory was Cal was in bed with Klutch and they would funnel the players to Cal.
While Bo knows and is accurate, the fix is right there. The issue is you don’t have a governing body implementing the needed rules/changes. Quite the opposite, they decide it’s best to eliminate the one decent rule, and allow players to transfer anytime. There needs to be an adopted governing body (maybe the sec/big idea) to get contracts in place and stop this nil crap. Otherwise, you see a watered down product where teams won’t be nearly as good and any good coach will leave almost immediately for the nfl to avoid this debacle.
A lot of parallels with UK basketball and Calipari. As a UK fan, the cal hire was flashy, fun exciting. Hire mercenary OAD’s to elevate the team to win at all costs. As time went on, it got boring, forgot about the players and players didn’t care because they’re getting the bag. Ultimately, generating hate and less interest in UK basketball because it’s boring. Unless something gets fixed, I bet you see similar results with teams/college football. Sad.
I don’t believe that’s a rumor. Rod Moore, Jordan Marshall and the kid from last years class from St Ignatius (name blanking) alluded to this. And credit to Clink, because he was the one who broke this idea up imo
You’re really giving osu fans credit down here with that 40%. Any “big” words longer than 5 letters, they seem to get confused and 60% of the time recognize there is an M in there. Playin’ skool bruh!
Osu will always brag about recruiting. I do not think UM will go all in like buckeyes do. I doubt they will ever have a class ranked less than outside top 10. That said, they can’t develop any of their top talent except WR position. Off season champs at best where points mean little.
MSU? Lol. Bewilders me how they can form a positive sentence in regards to football against UM, much less be able to find the other pant leg when they get up in the morning. A wow dumb type group.
Waller looked great. Cole Sullivan looks like he’s going to be great and get some run possibly this year.
Still nervous on the WRs. I don’t really see any great WR talent. Moore could, but seems like all of them are speedy guys. I think a big body WR would do them well.
A little nervous with Orji.
Marlon Klein looks like he’s going to be a monster mid way through once he gets it.
Dunlap is still 4th string? My understanding is 1/2 Don and Kalel, followed by Hall. I also would like to see Cabana once he works through his thing. Was also hoping to see Marshall get a few plays as well.
Curious NittanyFan, as you and BuckeyeChuck seem rational fans of opposite teams, rivalries perhaps. Is their any rational to this entire situation? What are you/were your thoughts with all this? I mean no harm, but genuinely curious how reasonable people from fan bases who hate UM, and in my (maize and blue lens) eyes, not find this to be complete insanity?
I mean…are any of us surprised? To me, (please correct me if I’m wrong) everything seems to be swept under the rug now?
It sure feels like Harbs is being the sacrificial lamb for the powers at be.
Fuck that, where is the leaders and best? Asides from the fan base, why is it so fucking hard to believe in Harbs and take his side? Tom Mars being silenced, Harbs has not been allowed to say anything? The guy who changed the trajectory and history of college football at UM and he gets this? Harbs has been done absolutely wrong and I hope we keep seeing the truth come out. Big fuck you to the weasels at NCAA.
I see a lot of posts on X where MSU has “teamed” up with OSU and double down together. The irony of OSU’s “we don’t give a damn for the whole state or Michigan” has some awesome layers. Lol.
If it was indeed innocuous and sarcasm, I will admit I was wrong, edit my post and apologize. Seems to me VA was calling me out for saying Harbs was a crazy and pushing the media narrative that we all hate and is untrue.
Look dude, I’m going to keep this relatively short as you seem like a lunatic. I stopped reading after, “he spent the night at someone’s house because they asked him to.” Not only is that wildly inaccurate, but had you taken the time to do research, you’d know it happened with a couple more recruits. If you don’t think it’s quirky about his comments about chickens, what transpired at San Fran or the plethora of other examples (look it up as they’re many) of odd things at Michigan he’s done, I don’t know what to tell you. Apparently for you, reading my original comment didn’t convey that “crazy antics” was an endearing way of saying his quirkiness. Nothing he did was normal at UM and people bring up these antics for that very same reason. And you know what, WE LOVE IT. The dude was authentic with his outside thinking approach. Media made fun of it and, I (can’t speak for others) love it cause that’s who he was. He’s the crazy uncle you love because he’s downright awesome and different from others.
-1 back at ya for having to defend a stance for saying how I’m going to miss Harbaugh and his crazy antics.
It’s the weekend. Get a few drinks and relax, man.
I love Jim M’Fing Harbaugh. I am eating crow after wanting him gone after the Covid season. The team unity and love that he brought was undeniable in this video. JH is the most endearing leader in quite some time. I wish he wasn’t painted black by the media based on his crazy antics in his early years as a HC. Lord, I’m going to miss this man.
I’m always grateful for what Brian and Co. have created here at mgo. Being also a UK fan, rupp rafters forums is the complete 180 of the fans here. They’re irrational, hypocritical and just downright awful. People wishing ill will to a coach that delivered a national championship, multiple final fours and great NBA players, because of what he’s done lately or cause of political views (yes, insanity), is downright embarrassing. I think it was time for both parties to move on but the crap some of these fans are spewing nasty. Makes me sad and ashamed to the state of affairs and their entitlement
Cal alienated top 2/3 donors at UK. They started funneling their money in the football recruiting efforts. They have hitting power especially for their bball stature
Well, if reports are true (this is coming from a UK beat writer) he didn’t even tell his current players or recruits he was leaving. He’s changed to a d bag last few years.
Meh, UL hiring Kenny Payne and their trajectory of basketball has been declining since Pitino and the scandal. Dont think they’re too particularly concerned with what UL is doing with the current dumpster fire going on.
Ironically, both are in similar places. Both teams will have a horrible roster setup this upcoming season. As it pains me to say it, UL may have the nicer appeal as they have been through some shit this last decade so expectations are lowered. UK, when coach is hired, will expect to turn it around dramatically. Unless a big splash hire happens, the fan base will chew the next person out. Hence, why I do not think Drew will be given the amount of time he needs to compete.
Columbus radio had just confirmed that Cal reached out about the OSU job vacancy. There shows the interaction between UK and Cal. Lol.
Drew is lackluster IMO. If you’re going to get rid of Cal then UK needs to reach for a big splash hire. Oats, Hurley (yes I know he’s not leaving), Brad, etc. If rumors are true that he’s solely focusing in on Drew, I think is a bad decision. Personally, I am a wait and see type but am skeptical with a guy like drew surviving at UK with an insanity fan base unknown to mankind.
I am excited he’s leaving. The entire fam base was calling for his head after this horrible tourney play. He needed to go but Mitch wasn’t buying out his 33 mill contract. Cal knew the writing was on the wall especially with the fan base being intense down there. Scott Drew is widely expected to be the only contact at this moment. If that’s the case, mediocrity is coming. UK will be the next IU. Happy this happened. Not happy MB is solely looking at Drew.
Wow!!!! Very impressive. I wish the Barkley got more attention and video coverage. Absolutely insane what they endure in this marathon.
For anyone interested in what this is, there is a documentary on Peacock now called The Barkley Marathons. Well documented and anyone interested in fitness or running is a great watch.
“I’d also say the guy has zero redeemable personality traits the common fan, outside of UK diehards, enjoy.”
-Buddy, let me tell you, die hard UK fans wanted him gone years ago. He has bashed the fan base multiple times when adversity hit, hes blamed players for losses, and has alienated donors along with UK media. I personally was over his antics last year but this guy has really pissed off the fan base the last 5 years especially with the on court performance. No way do you let a guy score 10 3’s with the type of talent on the roster. Yet again, the D shouldn’t be ranked in the 100’s either. No one in Lexington enjoys his antics whatsoever.
Im also a die hard UK fan. For Michigan sake, do not take him! His coaching is done. This was beyond a disappointment of a year.
- 2 potential top 5 picks. Lost to an Oakland team
- 1 player averaging 20+ points
- D was 105 ranked.
-2/3 years he’s lost to 14 and 15 seeds.
- inbound plays non existent
This is the feeling of Brady hoke era where nothing can be done and just have to ride along with it. Cal is a phenomenal recruiter but has clearly shown that his assistants were the ones coaching during his successful years. This is an embarrassment losing again, in the first round, with this talent. I want him gone but hope you guys do not get him.
I’ll preface that staee is garbage and I loathe them to wits end. That said, staee does better in the tourney when they’re not expected to do much. When they’re a favorite, they go down in the 1st or 2nd round. I have them in 32 or sweet 16.
1. I really like UCONN, Gonzaga, UK and Arizona. UK (my other team I watch religious) has the easiest path, but plays high school defense. Zags I think are very talented and can be a sleep at 5. Zona willl have a storyline with Downs facing UNC again. I do also really like Tennessee.
2. Betting favorite is UCONN. They look the best team but not sure I believe they can repeat with a new team. I think the winner from the west might win it all.
3. I can see James Madison or NC St. going to the sweet 16. Can also see some upsets with Mcneese and Sanford blowing brackets up as well. Those two have gauntlets though.
Take it for what’s worth, but the former stalbomb X handle has also mentioned another hire is happening that is from another rival. He did allude to a big time hire in presumably Tony Alford roughly a week ago, but he could have gotten that from a paywalled site. Interesting at the moment.
Thankfully, this was confirmed as not cheating when the king of CFB, Nick Saban, did the same thing with George Helow. A month before their ass kicking before the Rose Bowl. Somehow they will still convict UM of cheating.
Something seems up. I wonder if it’s a chip Kelly thing? Or maybe the Judkins and the rumor of him being a prime Donna was too much? I’m sure more is to come.
FWIW, I am genuinely curious how these buckeyes think down here. Everyone I’ve asked, most have said day needs to win it all, not just the UM game to be in good graces. Most know that given the amount of talent it’s a put up or shut up stance. So, if UM gets the upset you could see Columbus burn to the ground. To which, I would look forward to.

Stay safe. We had our tornados couple months back in Ohio.

Hanging out with my osu buddy down here. He said “Cade stover just got drafted go bucks” to which I reply, “look at the 2 picks before. Sorry bud”

Thank the lord NCAA finally got off their asses, and adopted a rule to allow unlimited transfers to instill the much needed guardrails!
