I know many reasons why he should
be let go but what's your best arguments on why Mcdevitt should be our coach next year?

As names start to enter the portal, I will do my best to update a running list of names to keep an eye on.

In the Murphy Center! Great matchup and great to have another home game.

Figured I would get a discussion fired up. What are your overall thoughts on name/image/likeness and the portal as a whole?

I think there are different schools of thought, especially with the portal....

You could argue that coaches can willy nilly go and come as they please, so why not the athletes?

I think that guard rails need to be put in place. I personally believe that a guy SHOULD be able to explore greener pastures ONE TIME WITH A PASS. After that idk. Just don't like the free agency feel with guys changing schools each season.

Switching gears, what do you think about NIL? Do you agree as is? Love it? Hate it? Should there be cap? No cap?

From Massaro:

Dear BRAA Members and Blue Raider Basketball Supporters,

With the conclusion of the 2024-25 college basketball season and the Final Four now behind us, I want to take a moment to update you on the status of our men’s basketball program and Coach Nick McDevitt.

One year ago, we addressed this group with a letter that candidly acknowledged our disappointment in the 2023-24 season. At that time, we also expressed our continued confidence in Coach McDevitt, his staff, and their vision for the program.

This past season, we saw tangible progress. While we came up just short of reaching the NCAA Tournament, we earned a berth in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT)—only the fifth in school history. This was a result of holding the highest computer ranking among non-NCAA qualifying teams in Conference USA, which was ranked among the top 10 leagues nationally. In short, we had a strong season in a highly competitive conference.

We were proud to host Chattanooga in the first round of the NIT, and although we fell in a heartbreaking triple-overtime battle, UTC went on to win the tournament—underscoring the caliber of competition we faced.

In recognition of the progress made and our confidence in the direction of the program, I’m pleased to share that Coach McDevitt has signed a three-year contract extension, securing his leadership through the 2027-28 season. We believe in the momentum we’re building and in Coach McDevitt’s ability to guide us to greater heights.

As we look ahead, we are more determined than ever to return to the NCAA Tournament. Conference USA continues to be one of the nation’s most balanced and competitive leagues, and your ongoing support is vital to our success.

Coach McDevitt, his staff, and their families have worked tirelessly to elevate Blue Raider basketball, and I ask that you continue standing with them as we push forward.

Thank you for all you do for MTSU. Your support truly makes a difference.

Go Blue Raiders!


Chris Massaro
Director of Athletics

Jaye Nash is a player MTSU has reached out to. As a true freshman at Tulsa, did not really produce much but was a heralded recruit. The point guard was a true freshman so did not play with Jarred Hall. Played senior season at McEachern with Ace Bailey and co., but before that was an in-state standout at Briarcrest Christian in Memphis
