Rekindling the Pitt-WVU rivalry would be great. I can tell you that Pitt would win a lot of those games, because I've put the Keno Davis curse on the Mountaineers' new basketball coach

Being a successful coach as measured by wins and losses just seems to get harder and harder. And if you're outside the Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, ACC, or Big East - and you have a successful coach - how do you keep him? It's hard for a Drake to compete against the higher salaries, bigger NIL money, and scheduling advantages of the so-called power conferences. TV has rigged the game. Ok. I'll stop ranting now.

Drake clearly needs transfers. This process doesn't happen overnight, but I have faith that coach McCollum and his (yet to be announced) coaching staff is up to the task. Going forward, I don't see recruiting high schoolers as a problem.

Coaching ability transfers to any level.

They will fill the void in each of their states if Clemson and FSU are successful in their efforts to leave the ACC. Yes - of course I'm making fun of those Clemson/FSU to the Big Ten rumors. I miss regional conferences. As a Kansas Citian, I loved the old Big 8 (maybe swap CU for Arkansas). And Butler belongs in the Missouri Valley. 🙃

Morehead State also lost its head coach to another school.

I think that although Rilling began as a LSU walk-on, he was at Colorado last season. Did not play.

I wonder who has the most transfers at this point. As far as I can tell, Drake has none.

Welp, Drake lost its first round game. Then they lost their head coach. Then they lost their best player.
Other than that, it was a great week.
