Re: Two more

Last time we hired a rival's head coach (CSU) it turned out pretty well. I once heard SM also say once he told BYU no thanks. If we hired their current coach, well, it might be something that is meant to be. I think BYU asked Stew if he would be willing to get a temple recommend in order to become ...

Re: Two more

Pope has been sought after by P5 schools all but one year at BYU (last year). I have no idea what his current status is or what his motives are but if he wants money, NIL, and a P5 option he can have it.

Re: At least he had the stones to drop a statement.

We offered him triple what he was paid at Montana State, so he came to Logan. Why are we surprised he would change schools when a school provides him triple what we're paying him? I'm not mad at a coach saying they want to build up a program. Those are words that are informed by their current situa...

Re: Sprinkle to Washington

Re: Next Contract

They all have agents who do the negotiating. I think our buyout conditions are consistent with other schools in our category. Would love to make it more but I have no interest in scaring off a coach we really want.

Re: Sprinkle to Washington

How much of the contract does Darius Brown get? He doesn't get that job without a handful of clutch shots from DB. I've been saying this for a while. He doesn't get that job without Downtown Daruis Brown. You are correct, and that's all the more reason why Sprinkle should take the generational mone...

No replacement for Sprinkle. Mark Pope to Washington. I believe 22 has the best info available, but with this one I'm still in wait and see more. It does change my expectation from 1% of Danny staying to like 25% though. If Pope wants out, which is great news but very surprising, he will have suito...

Re: Is Mason out for the tournament

Huge blow to not have Mason. I love how this team always find a way to win but my enthusiasm has been tempered all year by our lack of depth. It can bite you in so many ways - fatigue, foul trouble, off night shooting, and obviously an injury. Mason is a guy who does whatever the situation calls for.

Honestly, he's probably just waiting after the season ends to make any decisions. He may stay, or he may not. But at the end of the season, he'll have time to evaluate all his options.
