I think the name has to be Utah and not Salt Lake as a condition of the funding the legislature authorized.

I like Utah Black Diamonds of the names I have heard.

Really interesting if Sprinkle takes no one with him. The only way anyone goes with him is if Darius Brown gets that RUMORED extra season of eligibility. How would Darius get another year of eligibility, what’s the pitch? He’s used his Covid year, and Med Red Shirt year and played 4 other years. He...

Sam got a nice ovation the first time he check in and played well. Sam and the dude from Smithfield who won a car, got told he did not win a car, then finally got the car, were the only entertaining bits of that game. Very true. Going from watching March Madness to watching the NBA was eye opening....

When will his salary be announced? What are the numbers? 5 year deal, $625k base salary with a $25k raise each year. $300k in annual media rights. Sprinkle was $900k last year with media rights and was set to move to $925k this year so it looks like we're picking up where we left off. What’s the bu...

My guess is a placeholder. 11 isn't a kickoff window. That time was used a lot last year, would not be a surprise. 11 MT was used a lot as a national broadcast window last year? If you say so but it’s typically 10/1-1:30/4:35-5/8:00-8:30 for the major networks so I’d be surprised if our game didn’t...

I’d pay him more for the simple reason it means the buyout if he breaches can be much higher and we can negotiate the buyout if we terminate him without cause to be lower. Bumping him up only if he does well won’t do anything because he’ll be out the door by then regardless but a high buyout might ...

I’d be stunned if it’s not materially more than what Sprinkle was getting.

Maybe I’m making too many inferences, but it really didn’t seem like Great and Sprinkle got along, all that great. I could be completely wrong but it seemed they got into a quite a few disagreements on the bench. Add in the no show for Great in the post game presser. Great had a comment a while bac...

As a Montana Grizz fan, I hope he ends his college career by playing football and basketball in Missoula next year

He plays football too? Who knew.

She’s extremely well regarded nationally and has taken major steps in turning the department into a professional operation. I am glad she is here. More work to do cleaning things up but I have total confidence in her.

Intermeddler

Depends who comes back. We need a PG but if a lot of our team returns I bet we could get someone better who sees us as a path to a Sweet 16 run

Every Aggie fan should be kicking $6 a month his way for aggship. Such great coverage

Heard his contract is sizeable and assistant package is good. School is stepping up resources for basketball

They went back and unliked the tweets. It’s just bush league. Diana needs to clean house.

With one person in particular.

I would have been fine with him as the hire but not especially excited. I think we can do better (could certainly do worse too I suppose).

Intermeddler

And as I thought about it some more, another strong possibility is that an offer was made to one candidate but they made a counteroffer that USU doesn't want to accept and/or USU has reason to believe that he is just trying to get a raise from his current employer and isn't a serious candidate. I g...

I got a copy of Odom's VCU contract. Here's the language used for the future home/home:

Let me know if you're interested in any other numbers etc. in his contract.

That’s pretty toothless and about what I expected to see. Thanks for sharing. Interesting read.

Intermeddler

It would be tough to enforce because you’d effectively be binding a third party (the new school) to the contract between old school and the coach. The coach is in breach of the contract when he takes a new job which is why the coach has to pay the buyout but the school is not obligated to comply wit...

Anybody care to share what problems there were with the transition?

The housing thing is one. The others I’ve been asked not to communicate. Sorry. It’s nothing nefarious or anything just things that made the job seem different than what it turned out to be.

I can tell you from a first hand source that Danny and his assistants had some major issues with the move here. Contributed 0% to him leaving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, once the offer came it was irrelevant but Danny had an eye to the exit pretty early based on the transition (from my...

The "I'd rather Bovee make the hire than Sabau" stuff here is comical. Under Bovee's watch, we hired a coaching staff and gave them five nights in a hotel and a good luck.

He was largely pretty quiet on the issue. There is only so much we can expect him to know. As much as I like to think of him a savant he only knows what people are willing to share with him. Things change. It can be very fluid until ink hits paper. Stir example sometimes you’re inline for a job and...

Aggies22 has great info. I know that Pope wants out of Provo and was willing to take a big discount on his deal (at least in the early years of it) to get the UW job. He has interviewed for a bunch of jobs the last few years. UW just really prioritized Sprinkle. I don't recall Aggies22 saying Pope t...

He would be a disaster. His players hated him which is they had 6-7 guys leave the team every year before the portal was even conceived. Tommy Connor did a ton of heavy lifting recruiting. Boosters hated him too. There is also some personal baggage stuff there that may make him a bad fit/unproductiv...

We could certainly do worse. He 100% wants the job and would be here long term if it worked.
I was told that Sprinkle was somebody that would want to be here long term when he was hired.

Skepticism is appropriate, but I think there is more validity to it with Todd than others.
