32' x 60' is a sizable upgrade. That's pretty awesome. I also saw that the concrete guys are pouring and working on the SAPC. We are moving forward and it feels great!

At this point, the only question is whether or not our ADs and Conference leadership can put aside petty egos, selfishness, and do what’s best to keep us all afloat by coming up with a sustainable model for our level. That's going to require tough decisions that will make people angry and cost jobs.

Or are they just going down with the ship?

That's just it. All the "other 28" ADs are pissed. Well ok. Do something about it. Together.

Instead it seems they are saying "I'm Big Sky and I'm mad. You are CUSA and are mad. But I won't work with you to fix it. Let's be mad on our own." Makes no sense.

And they keep giving the Power schools more like allowing them to make their own rules etc. And the reward, screwing the G5, FCS, etc in the settlement.

It makes zero sense why everyone else doesn't come together. Break off or not, at least fight as a unified group.

With the future of college sports uncertain, one thing is clear: An official and permanent split of NCAA Division I is here

Division I has never been more fractured, and the split between the haves and have-nots in college athletics is becoming more real than ever.

I just don't believe he was that clueless about the role of the athletic department as it pertains to growing a university.

Like other ppl have said, if your a 6'8 domestic prospect and aren't racking up high major interest, something is wrong. Middle does has a few things going for them in regards to Hunter. If they haven't already, Middle should get Jada to talk to her, she'd understand being a highly sought after recruit

So did you miss quote 75% to P5, all i saw was 75% to football.

Correct. As Mit says, 75% to Power 🏈

Division I has never been more fractured, and the split between the haves and have-nots in college athletics is becoming more real than ever.

Matt said on his podcast we're still looking to sign 2 possibly 3 more for the '25-'26 team. Love to see us get at least 1 of the 2 centers we've made recent offers to, plus one or two of the players shown above.
Bradley Central probably had one of Tennessee's best team's in recent memory. To sign Kimora Fields would practically be beyond expectations, but I never put anything beyond Coach Matt's potential.

I'd say their focus is at the center/forward position for the '25 class' remaining scholarships.

An early Fields' commitment would take a lot of pressure off the '25 class. Just a reminder that Fields is a '26 HS grad.

Only update in regards to this recruiting class this week is Kimora Fields takes her first unofficial visit to Wake Forest.

  • #12 in TN, verbal commit to Tennessee Tech

Another player off the board for the Lady Raiders as Blackman product Lyriq Mastin verbally committed to Tennessee Tech on Friday.

In regards to open offers, I'm afraid word is slowly getting out on the 6'8" center Emily Hunter as she picked up 3 more P5 offers from Ole Miss, Marquette, and top-25 mainstay North Carolina. In regards to MTSU's pursuit, her only visit thus far has been to Murfreesboro.

Manchester, TN native Channah Gannon picks up an offer from mid-major Toledo this past week. I firmly believe getting one from the collection of center offers (Hunter, Gannon, or McClendon) is paramount to this signing class from a B to A/A+.

Lastly Bradley Central standout Harmonie Ware receiving love from ESPN's national rankings sliding into their updated Top 100 (#96). Surprisingly, I haven't seen much traffic in regards to her recruiting -- last offer was from Kennesaw State just over a month ago and still no P5 offers.

he is getting back in south Florida, and I like that.

When Mason said he would recruit against Liberty and other higher end programs and be successful I was kinda like "Yeah, they all say that." Well, I once again stand corrected. He's doing everything he said he would do and that's exactly what we need.
