Great win for UNI. They shot the lights out. Kudo's for Iowa St agreeing to a home & home with a quality mid-major program.

Props to them. Bet this won’t help MTSU chances with trying to get teams back to the Boro tho 😅😅

Man. This program truly has collapsed. Every ounce of credibility and respect that Kermit Davis brought to MT Basketball has vanished. Poof. Gone.

I was talking about how thin he is. He looks extremely underweight to play FBS football. Watch his HUDL and look how thin he is. Maybe 155 pounds dripping wet.

Good height and he can play ball but I don't think coaches look for developmental guys like him much anymore. They want players who could potentially play right away or maybe 1 year away max. It's interesting how quickly the landscape has changed. Nobody wants developmental guys anymore.

Especially in the situation this team is in, yep. True freshman Jackson Lowe is the only outside corner that is on the roster right now that is eligible to be here past 2025 season

He's 6'3 with a 6'8 wingspan. he is definitely light if you mean that but I think he would've been a developmental guy either way. They do have a need for guys that contribute the year after next tho so I could see that coming into play for sure

Looks undersized, which is fine. But when you're that little you better be a stellar athlete, ie. Travis Hunter.

This staff has shown with its recruiting that it definitely values size more than the previous staff. Gonna be hard to find the size that they want though and still maintain the level of athleticism needed to play FBS ball. It's a fine line to walk for sure.

They are not in on any other high school corners for 25. They'll add to the position but it would be via juco or portal. Are in on a pair of safeties tho

Maybe his visit didn't go well? Not a good fit character or personality wise?

A couple of years ago Valparasio
University was in the process of closing their law school. MT was interested and actively negotiating to transfer the school to us. I think there were some costs to MT of approximately $1m. Or leadership doesn't have enough pull to get the TBOR approval so it was shot down. That's it in a nutshell.

Remember it well... ugh

No public university law schools in Middle Tennessee. Only Vandy and Belmont and they are private.

I see an L here. Ohio looked decent against Memphis and McDevitt has been terrible in these holiday tournaments. I'm not sure he has won a single game in one of these tournaments.

Arike's presser info on conditioning is very apt. I believe it applies to not only her, but for some of our other starters as well. First thing to go for a tired shooter is their legs. Arike's 1st three early in the game was all net. After that it was brick after brick. Boldyreva's shooting from deep is also down from last year. Another sign of conditioning issues it seems we're having more missed layups than normal. All those things are pointing towards player fatigue becoming a factor. That being said I believe scheduling A&M just prior to the holiday tournament was a mistake. That gives us 3 games in 6 days. Victories against Florida A&M & Purdue are definitely for the taking. However the Iowa St game is very concerning when your starters are playing 40 minutes. With our limited bench play it's easy to foresee that our starters legs will be totally gone by the 3rd period of play against the Cyclones.
