Transfer portal and NIL’s effects on mid-majors
REALSPORT replied to The Professor's topic in College Basketball
I realize that this is very frustrating for fans. Players coming and going makes for little continuity. It also has to be difficult and frustrating for coaches. Not only do they have to recruit new players they have to continue to recruit their own. The reason I am ok with it is what it means to the players. Yes, mid-majors will lose players who perform, but what a great opportunity for those players. To go from the Horizon league to the SEC would validate all their hard work and allow them to showcase their talent to a bigger audience. Tweaks need to be made but I support what it does for the athletes. -
Very much looking forward to the season. As far as injuries go, the biggest is Matt McLain. He could be out for quite a while. TJ Friedl should be back in May. Several pitchers on the DL most notably Lodolo, Moll and Williamson. All should be ready in a couple weeks.

2024 Cincinnati Bengals

I think they had a revolving door at RT last year but I believe Conor McDermott was the starter when they played Pittsburgh. Also, Watt moves all around the line so he probably did have snaps against Brown. -
I really think it's a toss up as to what happens. I can see Cal's ego causing a problem in the meeting and at that point who knows? If Cal would give more control to an assistant or two it would help - again the ego won't allow that. As to who gets the job if it opens up... you absolutely call Jay Wright; Billy Donovan: Brad Stevens, and Dan Hurley and make them tell you no. I think they all would. Beyond that I think the finalists would be Bruce Pearl, Scott Drew, Mark Few (my preference), and probably Shaka Smart.

2024 Pittsburgh Steelers

It was certainly a smart pick-up. The question remains to be answered if the QB room is that much better than last year. Wilson and Fields are both prone to throwing the ball to the other team. Of course with the Steeler defense they don't have to have an elite QB. -
The advantage they have in their bracket is that their opponents have low defensive efficiency numbers as well. Oakland, Texas Tech and NC State all have low defensive numbers. UK's offense should carry then early. Marquette is like 60th in defensive efficiency. They can definitely beat UK but they aren't an elite defensive team. Houston is elite. I don't see UK winning that game.
-
The bracket really favors them until a possible elite 8 match-up with Houston. No reason the Cats shouldn't get there.

He doesn't have any say in a trade but he does have some control IF they trade. If he isn't willing to sign a long-term contract with another team it makes a trade highly unlikely. Teams aren't going to give up anything to get him for 1 season. For a trade to make sense for the Bengals, Tee has to agree to an extension. -
I'd guess that outside of Jefferson County it has never happened.

Moss is considered to be a better blocker than Mixon and has a better burst. He had several explosive runs last year. I guess we will see if the Bengals run blocking is as bad as we thought, or if Mixon just had terrible vision. -
futurecoach summed it up well. I think Mixon still has a future in the league but he doesn't fit with what the Bengals want to move to. I wouldn't be shocked to see him end up in Nashville. The league has shifted to young, cheap, interchangeable running backs.

It could be any number of things from a non-renewal to a resignation. The fact that he deleted his X account may indicate that he doesn't plan to coach at all - considering it was a Coach account. Best of luck to him and to Cooper.
