Ah, right. It did sound very Doherty-esque.

Which players did BB and staff force out/burn it down? I know a few of the top-talent left for better programs and better chances, but which others?

There is always going to be a task of keeping talented players. The more you start with the better chance you have to keep more. It's also different when the coach is fired/leaves instead of getting fired, players tend to stick around more in those cases. It's when coaches move to another HC job...

Isn't HD's GM making over a million?

If we're right back here, he'll be gone and we'll (hopefully) do a legit search to bring in the best coach we can get. And that coach will have a cupboard much fuller than what BB walked into, thanks to what Lombardi and Belichick are doing right now.

Solid win. On to MSU!

Why do you get that sense? And, when you say significantly more, do you mean in total, or above market value? I know (from IC) that the basketball team is having to "overpay" players because of the way HD is viewed by players and agents as a talent developer, which I hope changes after this year...

Thanks for sharing. Did they mention how those numbers stacked up to the player's market value? I ask because I'm wondering if we're having to spend more, less, at market value for these players. I think that is pretty important, when it comes to the way the program is viewed by players and agents.

I wonder how much we're spending on recruits, compared to others. Has anyone seen this discussed?

Yes, we know.

I guess I never thought, nor think, BB will be here in 3 more years - if next year sucks then he'll leave/be fired, and if he starts winning a lot then he'll leave for a better spot (if he wants to continue coaching). My hope is that he gets the ship righted from what Mack left us and we bring...

You do you, but you're coming across as an old bitter man.

I'm not sure. But, I think, given what he's currently doing with the HS class, we should at least wait until after this portal season before we draw and quarter him.
