  1. It does doesn't it? Still don't know how all this gets reported, might just be the largest announced. Gives us a target to shoot for though, I'm sure it got Vic's attention. Not sure about your ROI on a thing like this but for a booster that may not be the point. One wonders when our evil empire leaves their conference if they will still pony up the cash for WBB.
  2. I've never seen a report of how much money is going where, would be very interesting to know.
  3. Damn, $375,000 per year for a team that just went 4-14 in conference last year. I really hope Texas has a plan for our women's teams. I guess Ashley will feel appreciated now.....
  4. This is for 2023. Dammit. I really liked Sammie. Seems like a great kid, wish her well and hope she finds a place that fits for her.
  5. Shaylee Gonzales not Matharu. (as you know)
  6. We are better than Baylor. Let's prove it. This ends now.
  7. 100% true. Hard to not get attached though, loved me some Lattimore and Mitchell. I think I'm just not as shocked now as I was but still very disappointed.
  8. Ha! Right there with you on the three point production. That inside game is going to be pure entertainment, so many problems for opposing coaches to try and prepare for but the whole thing opens up with we can knock down some timely threes. This inside is so good I keep forgetting about Gaston. Will be nice not to have to worry about Ebo running out of gas, and foul trouble won't be such an issue with our depth. Can't wait.
  9. I hear your point but the better players you attract to your program the more you run into "Dream Team" problems - how to get all these good players minutes. I think these are the problems we want to have and I guess we have to get into the frame of mind that players are going to leave at times to get more minutes elsewhere. You just hope the players you keep are the top players you want. The one area I think we could have an issue with is our 3 point production. That's where the loss of Matharu hurts. Girl could shoot. But with Vic's defense, better production inside, and just a general upgrade for our whole offense that may not hurt us that bad. Harmon's 3% may go up with a season under her belt and we know her 45 foot shot is golden. She's close to ok at .319% Holle is going to get some looks so she needs to get that .273 up. Morris is good at .350 and Gonzales is a better shooter than .227 (I know, you are what your record says you are), she seemed to drop her 3% every year for some reason but I trust Vic to sort that out. And Hunter is a possible diamond from 3 if she can just take care of the rest of her game and get some playing time. Great to see her working on her handles.
  10. Love to see Hunter doing work on her game. Looks like she's focused and hopefully will make a big leap this year.
  11. Ouch. She always looked pretty lost on D and had some silly turnovers in limited minutes but that's not unusual for a freshman. I don't think that shooting against New Orleans was a fluke - hard for a shooter to get into a rhythm with limited playing time but she still shot .389% from 3 for the year. Vic has a number of new pieces that need to get playing time at the beginning of the year but I really hope Hunter gets some burn. It did take guts to hang around and with the recent departures her staying should really endear her to the fan base. Go Hunter.
  12. Maybe but I think it was a blow-up. Vic said earlier happily "I may not be done" (getting recruits). They are taking forever to update the roster and staff on the website. It took a while to remove Kobe but Matharu is gone already. Furq.
  13. Hunter, the only player I thought would transfer.....
  14. That was my feeling as well but still that's a hit, she was an important piece for Vic. We've had a lot of people transfer out, 7 since the beginning of last year. Gonzales for Matharu an upgrade?
  15. Yeah, I don't know about "strategy" or "options" either. Putin says she stays she stays, Putin says she goes she goes. Logic/arguments be damned.
  16. Kobe to James Madison. Wish her all the best.
  17. She visited us, then North Carolina State. Today Rori stared following her in the Insta and she started following Rori. Let's just call that a good sign.
  18. Yeah, David, Tim, Manu and Tony all made this group look much better than they were/are. Never been fully on board with Popovich. Bob Hill went 62-20 and 59-23 in his first two seasons, then they kept Robinson out on purpose the next year (1996) and went 3-18, Pop said Hill had "lost the team" and then took over as coach the day they brought David back. Riiiight.
  19. Looks like his short list is Miami or Phoenix so he's shopping for a contenda. Not sure we qualify for that this decade.
  20. Sitting here trying to imagine Pop telling Russ we need to lose. How comical would that be to have Porzingis, Westbrook and Conley on the bench while we roll out Wieskamp and Bates-Diop? Westbrook's head exploding in 5..4..3..2..
  21. I could absolutely believe this to be true, hell I do think it's true, but that deal was the best you could get for a 25 year old All Star? Are we so focused on tanking that we don't care if we don't get any value for our trade assets?
