I was very surprised to hear this. so who in general is the end of the roster? is it all incoming freshmen? I assumed just getting recruited to the A10 included NIL. do some freshmen get it and others not? once you've been here a year do you get it, or only if you played as a freshman.
My excitement is less than that, to be honest. Other than bringing AA back, what has Mooney done to say he deserves to be brought back another year? Other than a contract (which can be bought out), what does he say about that?
I saw this quote in an article about a European recruit “Styles of play in college basketball mirror those of Europe far closer than those of high school basketball in the States, with an emphasis on passing and offensive flow rather than one-on-one skills showcases.” I don’t know about “college basketball” as a whole, but it sure sounds like European players fit exactly what Mooney likes to run. I guess it is just too hard to recruit overseas…..
If they asked those questions, they wouldn’t have been invited back for the next press conference.
You are correct - they wouldn't be invited back. However, the sad reality is that given the failures of the basketball program and no real explanations offered as to why the coach is retained, as well as 21 years of mostly mediocre results, EL's questions are more than legit. We deserve real answers. All our school does is tippy-toe around the cold hard facts and reality of the failures of the program. Several weeks ago I stated that the school has put CM over everything else. He's got one amazing job. Unbelievable. How low can the program go?
Second year in a row that this comment has been made, Walz said the same thing about last year.
Where's Coach Fezz when we need him?
