Recent article on two SMU people ( mother & daughter) giving $ 2.5 million for turf makeover shows the tremendously deep pockets of private programs. We may have donors who could do that, but they never will.
Thought this needed a thread of its own. So, @cousin oliver stated that most of our best players had entered the portal. Is there any place to track this? If he is correct, would this be Hardaway, Wooten and Deck or does it go beyond those three?
I've read this numerous times and never realized this. I thought from his reaction to being hired, that he was excited to be here and would stay and build something.
I would say this job will require a unique personality. Bill Blakeley was successful, not only in winning games but in drawing a crowd, because of his personality. He was a show all alone on the sidelines and with the signs he hung from his chair. He also ran a fun brand of basketball and engaged the fans and the community. That is what is needed and not a coach that is biding his time looking for the next big thing.
I don't think I ever recall reading or hearing Ross engage the fans outside of one or two social media posts. He had, and supposedly earned, a media bonus with his contract which shocked me because I rarely heard a word from him outside of being interviewed during or after a game for a few seconds plus the typical post game press conference for Vito and a Daily writer.
