Yawls defense should be better simply because it can't get much worse. But it's not going to be near good enough to be a difference maker nationally. That's just your left over entitlement talking.

"A former 5-star prospect, Duke played a huge role for the Blue Devils in each of the past 2 seasons." We need to land both Mark and Duke Mitchell.

Well yeah, make or break the season for LSU maybe. That's still a far cry from shaping the College Football Playoff.

Lol what?

Lol, I thought about hitting the portal to SBNation now that we can transfer without sitting out. Respect my decision as I've not yet made a final decision.

Agreed. It's still amazing though the NCAA isn't making this new rule because they came to the conclusion on their own the old rule never made sense, they're probably tired of getting sued so they're basically just saying screw it.

Probably need to stop saying "College Football"

I hit the like button for that one.

Did they all say no?

What happened to that "reported list of candidates" that included Dan Hurley, Scott Drew, Billy Donovan, Bruce Pearl, Nate Oats and Sean Miller?

@fuzzy: Lmao, KAPOW!

Kentucky needs Dan Hurley, but Dan Hurley doesn't need KY.

This is really dumb.

Ratings are gonna come way back down to earth next year because Caitlin Clark was the draw, not Staley. Just watch.

I understand that, and believe you're 100% correct. But you'd think he would be a little picky about his next stop, or at least chose a little more wisely.

You honestly don't think Clark was the draw? Can't fix stupid I guess.

Jon Gruden will undoubtedly be mentioned.

You gotta wonder how bad Cal wanted out of KY, evidently extremely bad.

Oats is the hot hand, but Beard would probably be a better hire.

@nwa: Exactly, Hurley has proven he has everything he needs and can win at UCONN. Leaving that would be dumb.

If Calipari bolts this should give KY a great chance to grab Beard.

And yet a ton of people who watched this game would not have even thought about watching if it wasn't for Kaitlin Clark. She was the draw, Staley just happened to be there for it.

Clark is the GOAT, and clearly driving the interest and ratings of this tournament. Staley is fortunate to be along for the ride.

What Bama needed was for UConn to faceplant, or play a C- or D game, and that didn't happen. UConn didn't play great, but at least played a B- or B for them.

"A-"?? Bama couldn't play any better than they did, especially in the first half and were still behind at halftime. They played their A++ game, it just wasn't enough.

That was a really good hire for SLU, would have been for Arky as well.

Strike two..

Perhaps, but at least they should be able to hire him without wasting time (or further embarrassment) just to get turned down.

As we know it depends on which side of his mouth he says something with.

I won't say UConn is unbeatable, but I also don't think Alabama has much of a chance to do it.
