The latest spinning of the coaching carousel may have interesting effects on the portal. Pedulla and Nickel from VT had both been contacted by UK last week. Boopie will be a good get for someone.

I have been listening to a lot of Liz Longley lately.

If I change my Internet provider from Verizon, what do I need to do to change my current email address? Can I still access old emails that haven't been downloaded to my computer? Thanks for allowing me to show my ignorance.

And ODU brings the beach into play.

I'm okay with scheduling certain Coastal teams as OOC games, whether it be VT, UNC, or UVA. All those are easy road trips and traditional rivals (one more than the others). Maybe alternate among the 3.

I hope it works out for him. He seems like a good kid. Stepping down to a mid-major is probably what he should have done from VT. He and Jalen Johnson showed that maybe Thomas Wolfe was right.

Manning's.

The Hal Greer model.

Maybe trade McKie for Shay?

Maybe. It depends on who they bring in. If Beilien lands in either Austin or Norman, the WVU Nation will explode.

So, which job would Stevens be more likely to take (assuming they came open at the same time)? Roy is not the legend that K is, giving UNC a slight edge in my book.

I enjoyed breaking the Shaka news to my Big !2-loving buddy. Combined with OU losing Kruger and their great women's BB coach recently, it's a tough time for the conference.

Stevens commented early in his career in Boston how much he enjoyed being able to leave the practice facility, go home, and not have to spend evenings recruiting. I can't imagine he's changed his mind about that.

Have to think that Cone will be talking to Isaiah Wilkins as due diligence on Wake. Verbal Commits lists 894 players having transferred or announced plans to this year. Last year the total was around 1045; that number should be easily exceeded this year.

Shoot, Ed wasn't even Danny's coach.

One sure way to drive kids toward the portal is by telling a recruit that he will be a big upgrade over the current players (even if it's the truth).

I'll take a slightly contrarian view. The ACC is better when UNC is thriving. I'd like to see them get a very good but not great coach. I'm not ready to say HOF Wes qualifies but they can do worse.

Two of the best articles I read this year dealt with Kessler's official visit to UNC and Roy's taking over at Kansas. I didn't realize how much KU had to be sold on Roy. Whether he will stick his neck out for HOF Wes the way Dean did for him will be interesting to see.

The matchup I want to see is Syracuse versus Loyola. About 18 years ago I was talking to a nun who was a 'Cuse graduate. She admitted "I can't stand Boeheim." To see Loyola and Sister Jean prevail would bring a great deal of pleasure to my former friend.

I was shaking my head at Tony Bennett's last 4 NCAAT experiences - loss by 15 in the second round after a 5 point win in the first round over a #12; loss in the first round to a #16; wins natty; and loses to #13 seed in the first round. Really inconsistent. I'm not inclined to give them a pass...
