Missouri was 0-18. So wasn’t that his first year? So our coach is going into his 4th year. Maybe there is a difference in coaching tier here?

It was his 2nd year, they went 25-10 his first year and made it to the second round of the tourney.

So he proved he can take a sec team to the tourney then, look of Macman had got us in even once n the past three seasons I think everyone would give him a pass. You can’t compare what Mizzu has done to what LSU has done.

Anyway, my questions were geared toward the transfer portal, not comparing Macman

Most definitely. Our coach has just figured out the current college basketball landscape when everyone else figured it out in 2022.

There’s no plan or vision for the program. We’re just going to have to bide our time until we can get someone who actually has a clue.

Jim’s trying to argue that he’s paid for success when Missouri’s class ranking is 2 spots ahead of LSUs this season. As usual he’s trying to play gotcha but doesn’t know the facts.

One thing ole jimmy is though is happy Wade ain't here.

The divergent directions NC State and LSU are about to embark on will be striking, even to the Wade can't coach idiots.

The thing about excuse makers is losing doesn’t bother them one bit.

I don’t understand this narrative. It’s not like he just discovered paying players. He simply didn’t have the money.

That’s on Woodward and our NIL efforts. He gets plenty of hate around here so I don’t see how that’s CMM fault. Now if he fails with $8MM to spend, feel free to blame him

Did you see CMM’s quotes from yesterday’s article? It had a tone that this was a new concept to him.

And if he feels/knows he doesn’t have the money, then he needs to bang that drum louder.

I swear you and CMM must be related.

It's both. Woodward treats basketball like the redheaded stepchild but McMahon is a zero salesman of his program, which gets him nothing from boosters.

And we all know the importance of the transfer portal as you look at college athletics here in 2025.

Well the coaches job is to build excitement and NIL cash within the program.


Your best friend Frank William Wade has produced a huge jump in 1pack nil donations over the last 2 weeks. I wonder why!!!!

Alright you got that. Other point still stands. Him being a zero with boosters hurts as much as Woodward ignoring him.
