That is a solid foundation. Goal setting: I'm thinking NIT 2024.

Hope that’s how it plays out. Wouldn’t expect them to say they were considering heading to portal right after their last game of season. But certainly encouraging. Now let’s hope no one gets in their ear about NIL money to play elsewhere. Hope Bilodeau and Rataj feel the same way

Now let’s hope no one gets in their ear about NIL money to play elsewhere. Hope Bilodeau and Rataj feel the same way I disagree on expecting them to say that. Certainly doesn’t guarantee anything, but if you want to move on, no reason to delay making it clear you are open to opportunities. There’s bo chance either of them would be risking not finding a new D1 home. |

Absolutely. If you're not in the big dance, you are not relevant in college hoops. Exploding heads would just be a bonus.

First of all he can't take this team to the ncaa tourney. That ship has sailed. But you might be talking about next year and if so why are using the word IF? You don't sound positive. Don't you have faith? |

I was thinking next year would be another growth year in prep for 2025, but Jordan Pope thinks they can be a top 20 team next season which would open the door to the big dance. I'm in. |

I really don't want to see heads explode here but if there's one thing we know about WT, he's unpredictable (both good and bad). We've seen him harness Corvallis talent and produce a Pac12 championship, a Pac12 tournament MVP and an elite 8 run, things that people here today, will never again see in their lifetime by any Beaver MBB coach. |

I personally believe that Tinkle gives us an above average at turning something similar again. There are much better coaches out there most definitely. But we have either no chance to sign those people or they are needle in the haystack types, who I believe that Barnesy has an exactly 0.01% (and that might be liberal) chance of finding. My belief in Tinkle is not limitless, but I still want to see what Tinkle can do next year. |
