You know this could be seen as cute if the last game we played wasn't a 20 point loss as the one seed to an in-state team currently in free fall.

Essentially the UNI Basketball twitter account has decided that they want to try to do some roleplay, and rather than keep it in the random, private Discord server where it belongs, they decided they want to share their sessions to the world. In this...

You know, the word "embarrassing" gets thrown around too often in sports. Embarrassing should be reserved for moments like this. Because this is embarrassing.

You'd be right if we lived in a world that made sense. Two months ago we had to give a guy 10 grand for losing a shooting challenge due to nonsensical bad PR. You can 100% twist it to make it a "wow, UNI is so selfish to be doing this now"...

That's a great point, even if he is a hometown kid, being back up until you're a junior is a hard ask for someone of that talent....

Was gonna say, yeah, I can't imagine we're in good enough financial shape to be rolling out this announcement right now. Would be a bit of a power move, though. Everyone else cutting stuff and we announce a new renovation....

Seems awfully early to have a complete schedule, last year we didn't get the full thing until mid-May. Didn't even get the Colorado game reported until mid-April. Not to mention all the stuff going on.

I can't imagine that it's a scheduling...

God that's gotta absolutely blow if you're a Drake fan. Best thing to happen to your program in over a decade and he transfers....

I wouldn't be against him coming here, but I certainly don't want a big push in getting him here. A big push to me feels like the staff doesn't have confidence in the development in the of Henry and Betz, which would be worrisome. Now he'd certainly...

I was gonna make a smart alec joke about "Chicago not being important," but I don't even want to, that's just great if we can get our foot in the door there....

Tbf Verbal Commits still has Ty Anderson listed as a 5'10" PG, they don't exactly player information like that except for the bigger players....

Wow, yeah, blocking Mudra was a smart idea, I didn't even know he made that comment until I saw it quoted just there. Don't recall who told me about that, but props to you.

If the game with Iowa isn't played, it's likely because there isn't any football being played at all, at that point...well I'm not gonna pretend to know, but I think it'll be clear by then, whatever happens.

That more than likely won't be...

I'm already setting myself up for disappointment, dreaming about the lineups that he could be a part of. A Born-Carton-Green-Berhow-Phyfe lineup puts up 100 points a game. Gives up probably 90 points a game, but still. You could also work it so that...

Aaron Cook is going to be transfering from SIU. That's a biiiiiiig blow to the conference, with him staying, I could honestly have seen SIU making a little noise early on, maybe even have a non-conference that resembled UNI a bit, something like 9-2...

If we get Tschetter, I don't think it's possible to argue against the missing AAU season helping us more than hurting. The likelihood of finding a guy on the AAU circuit this year who would A) Be as good for us as Tschetter, and, B) Come to UNI, are...

Tbf, doesn't most of that money that conferences like the MVC earn go to the conference itself, only a fraction makes it to the school.

Tbh it's kinda up in the air at this point. I know there's a ban on recruiting right now (to the extent that the NCAA can actually enforce that, obviously), it's almost certain to push back some deadlines....

Wish him the best of luck...

Home vs Northern Illinois isn't a bad tune-up-like game to start the year, assuming we don't schedule anything earlier.
