Re: In the current environment

What is more critical? A great coach or a great recruiter. Nice to have both but which is more critical? With a gun to my head, I’m not sure which I choose. Danny was pretty good in both. I do think he was out-coached a number of times and benefited from an extremely savvy point guard. He proved he...

Re: The moment I knew

Over the last 25 years there may have been one guy on the team each season with this type of athleticism, but the entire regular rotation has a degree of athleticism unmatched by any other team in my 25 years of being an Aggie.

Conference realignment, unlimited transfers, and NIL are probably bigger, but unionizing just adds another brick on the road to the overall ruin of college sports.
