Not sure they had no returners, but they did add 8 or 9 from the portal. Not all that unusual (to add a bunch), but their success (Final Four) was. That's the hope I'm talking about! I have faith in Coach! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was USU and Danny Sprinkle’s first year, who won a game in the NCAAT but then got spanked by Purdue …… he then pulled a Tags and went to his dream job at Washington.

I'm so old, I can remember when multi-year contracts meant that you put in the work 4 years in exchange for tuition, books, room and board, meals, nutrition specialist, training program, personal trainer, occasional per diem money, pride in your chosen school, and eventually a degree. Not intended to place blame on anyone for what college sports has turned into...its all about the $$$. Just doesn't seem the same now when players chase the money like pros (and coaches do, too). I root for the name on the front of the jersey. Sad to hear CY doesn't want to play for USF anymore. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another way for the schools to take advantage of the athletes. they are 1 year contracts. Looks like that has come back to bite them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
