Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
Maverick Rowan is leaving State to try and catch on in a pro league that is not State. Considering that Terry Henderson might not get his 6th-year waiver, and Omer Yurtseven might yet go pro, and Lennard Freeman is probably more of a mascot after his injuries, that doesn't leave much coming back next year from an already bad team.

Keatts did sign point guard Lavar Batts away from VCU, plus that grad transfer from Rutgers, and there's a revolving door of other coaching-carousel casualties and grad transfers in Raleigh right now, so the roster will likely get filled up. But they might need nametags in practice for a while.

:confused: we sent one to UVA, that's it. It's pretty early in the Rutgers coaching cycle for another wave of mass transfers.

Yeah, I'm real dumb, I added the UVA one on there. Being horrifically distracted by a mountain of poo poo in actual life doesn't make for good posting, gonna go take care of that other stuff.

It's a really bad look. Morrow and Jacobsen both started and/or played significant minutes and we've lost two others (Jeriah Horne and Nick Fuller - Horne had a lot of potential).

Yeah, Miles is out, the only question is weather to fire him now or wait a year. Either way the 2017-18 season will be ugly, but firing him now would allow the new coach to start on recruiting for 2018-19. On the other hand, they may get a better candidate by waiting and letting Miles be associated with next year's terrible season, nobody wants to start off with a terrible record their first year, even if they know they won't be blamed for it.

I've spent plenty of time making fun of KU for ducking Wichita State but honestly Missouri should at least be rotating through 1 or 2 of Missouri State/UMKC/SLU every year.

They just don't want to play because they don't want Mizzou to get a foothold, which doesn't really make sense considering Columbia is less than 2 hours away. I don't know why Mizzou has issues recruiting STL though.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I thought that ISU, Iowa, Drake, and UNI used to play a real tournament, but I think all they do now is the two smaller teams rotate which of the big teams they play every year. ISU and Iowa obviously play every year.

This is a pretty recent change. Prior to like 5 years ago Iowa and ISU played both UNI and Drake every year, and rotated home and away with them. I think they both got sick of playing at UNI every other year so they created the dumb Hy Vee classic in Des Moines that no one seems to actually care about. UNI fans especially hate it because it took away their biggest home game every year.

E: maybe Drake fans hate it too, I dunno. You would actually have to find one to know for sure. They still lose one big OOC game, but at least the one they get is in their home city

Apropos of nothing I just learned that John Chaney once won a D2 championship at a school called Cheney State.

Looked him up after I got reminded of when he stormed a press conference and threatened to kill John Calipari back when he was at UMass.

Possibly, probably a combination of that and the series contract being up. Green Bay re-upped, but Milwaukee wanted more home games. When the Badgers play at Marquette every other year, another Milwaukee game against a pretty weak squad s a tough sell.
