  1. I think the preseason poll the NCAA uses is just a coaches poll. Coaches from other schools don't research teams throughout the country. That's why there is a disparity. Anybody that did research on our team wouldn't have us ranked #17 even with Ange Kelly. Hell, I even said we should be a top 5 team before the Top Drawer poll was released.
  2. Yeah, the only ? for this team is the 5. If we could get the Shedrick at the beginning of last year before the injuries started to creep up again that would be nice.
  3. Yeah, Top Drawer has us ranked where we should be based on our roster.
  4. He was projected to be a top 20 pick next year even before his monster performance with team USA. Zero chance he makes it to campus.
  5. Gerlich sucks. Nobody should be enthused to spend 1 million for a coach that can't even make the NCAA tournament.
  6. I don't know about the number but USC apparently paid a shitload for Juju Watkins. So yeah, I don't think 7 figures is going to be crazy for a WBB star. At least not way above market value.
  7. At least Glasco is a good coach (albeit overrated). Gerlich is fucking terrible. 0 NCAA tournament appearances in 11 years as a head coach. I think Tech would have to go way over everyone else's offer because no top player wants to play for Gerlich.
  8. Am I crazy to think Steph Curry is actually underrated? Best shooter in NBA history if you ask me. I wonder where most would rank Curry all-time?
  9. The fact we are ranked #17 is actually kind of wild. We are returning the entire starting lineup from a Sweet 16 team, adding an All-American caliber fullback from injury, adding a starting transfer from a Sweet 16 team, and bringing in a top 10 recruiting class. This team should be ranked in the top 5. That says a lot about Kelly's coaching.
  10. Yes, we have a top 10 roster.
  11. Winfield is having a really good summer. The middle of our lineup could be scary good with Belyeu, Flores, and Winfield.
  12. I don't think anybody is expecting him to start are they? With Schuessler and Galvan back he's probably the 3rd string catcher.
  13. Buzz has only made it past the first weekend 1 time in the last 11 years. He's one of the most overrated coaches in college basketball. I hope he's at aggy long-term.
  14. Skinner's entire family hated Texas. It took a week for Texas to even get her family to answer a phone call. They had to pay above market price for Skinner because she wanted to literally go anywhere else. You can call it "hustling on her own" or whatever bullshit you want to call it but she was paid more than the low tens of thousands. Do you honestly think a family that despises Texas just all of a sudden did a 180?
  15. I'm not going to put this out in the open but you couldn't be more wrong about Skinner. Lol there are really people that think Skinner and her family went from despising Texas to then picking Texas. Let me tell you, her father wanted nothing to do with Texas.
  16. I bet rifle will be one. TCU just won the national championship and their coach is legit. Seems like a coach we could steal with Del Conte's relationship.
  17. Rifle team will be one I bet. TCU just won the national championship and there's a relationship with Del Conte. Seems like a coach we could steal.
  18. It was discussed on the UCONN board but when likes were still public on twitter Chavez was liking a bunch of comments about NIL. She's going to the school that pays her the most money. All the other discussions are pointless.
  19. Yeah, I was saying this yesterday. It's pretty obvious they have some "nutty benefactors" in WBB with the way they are recruiting (HS and portal). I think the same can be said of volleyball. We pretty much bought a championship 2 years ago via the portal in volleyball.
  20. Between Rerick, Flores, and now Volantis we have some legit FR arms coming in.
  21. I would like to know what our NIL commitment is because we are definitely throwing some money out there. Flores was likely expensive, Spencer is arguably the best bullpen arm in the portal, Stewart is one of the best JUCO players in the country, and Mendoza/Winfield were very good additions (top 50ish portal players) that a lot of top programs wanted. aggy is in desperation mode after losing Schloss to a rival. It's like you've never watched aggy and their stupidity when it comes to spending money for 1 cycle to prove a point. See Jimbo and their historic '22 recruiting class.
  22. Trop was a relief pitcher that never pitched over 24 innings at Penn in 3 years. Giving him over $100k would be about as dumb as it gets.
  23. I'm pretty sure Texas has some big spenders in WBB. '24 recruiting class included Lee (#9 recruit) and Carlton (#12 recruit). The '25 class already added Crump (#4 recruit). Also, Phelia was one of the top transfers this year in WBB and a lot of big programs wanted her. We are 100% spending money on players in WBB.
