I don't know. Even if the NIL does factor in (it very well could as a player like Beers could draw some significant offers) it just seems like there's got to be more to it than that. I mean, yeah, the WCC. But that just doesn't seem like it should break up an Elite Eight team. We already talked about Gonzaga getting a decent seed and making the Sweet 16. If a bunch more (and Beers in particular) leave I just won't know what to think.

I'm of the opinion that any transfers are because of the drop down to the WCC. None of our players except maybe Beers, maybe, Gardiner would command huge NIL deals, whether those really exist or not. And moreso Beers because skilled productive bigs just aren't a dime a dozen. Who knows man, all this is just horses%#t! Either that or SR is packing for Tennessee. Yep, that would be the other reason. Damn, I'd hope not but with everything going on in college sports I guess it just shouldn't surprise me anymore.

Yeah, Rueck leaving would explain a lot if a bunch more jumps to the portal are coming. We'll see I guess.

I think rueck is replacable and there are better recruiting coaches who would love to coach this existing team. These kids shouldnt leave until if rueck leaves who is his prediseccor.

Has Rueck ever even hinted that he would leave OSU? The guy bleeds orange.

It's not like Rueck hasn't brought in top recruits. He had four on this team: Gardiner, Beers, TVO and Hunter. Every team he's had in the last decade has had at least three or more. Plus, he's been great at bringing in foreign players and turning them into top flight contributors or even stars.

I think it would be very difficult for someone to come in and be successful. Especially if they had to start basically a total rebuild. Almost all players would leave if Rueck bails for another job. Not buying it at all. A long difficult road for anyone. Especially considering OS isn't in a power conference at least for the next two years.

I’ll have to eat what I posted on the other thread if he takes the TN job. The money would have to be REALLY good because if he doesn’t produce in 4 years he’ll be out of a job.

After seeing the ignorance around NIL money on previous threads I feel the members of this board aren't ready for what is likely to happen in the next few days. After the run this team just made we have three players who can absolutely lock $100k plus in NIL money. I don't know the financial situation of the families of the Beaver's current big three but the opportunity that they are almost certainly considering is real. I really don't think any possible OS transfer will get even close to $100,000 NIL deal. People seem to think there is an unlimited supply of NIL money. I don't think that is true by any means. Yep "hooper"... is a BS spreader. Love to see he "guarantee" info. As I've posted actual info from universities. EVERY NIL deal has to be reported, verified, and ok'd. Average NIL deals for women's sports is low 4 figures. PERIOD.

Virginia Tech has hired Marquette coach Megan Duffy. Tennessee and Miami remain open.

I think rueck is replacable If by "replaceable" you mean that someone would be sitting on the bench coaching, sure. I know literally zero about basketball, but I could sit on the bench, coaching, as a way of "replacing" him. But if you are talking about getting a coach at the same or better quality--NOPE. If he leaves, that is not happening. What we will end up with is a successful assistant coach from somewhere who is making his/her first or second foray into head coaching.

Rueck is not easily replaceable in every sense of the word...what the hell are you thinking? This existing team wants to play for SR, not some other guy.

Sheez, reading this string makes one wonder if there even BE a next year. If 2 more starters leave, THEN Corvallis we have a problem, until then I'm hoping this is it. TVO probably has a deal somewhere, I don't think we need to like it but good luck to her. Hopefully, the rest of this great team stays put and builds upon this magical season, wherever they may go, they won't have BEAVER Nation with them..
