Cooper Koch enters portal

[Hay Man]

Cooper, come on down, you're the next contestant on the enter portal sweepstakes....

I’m done. This is Kirk 1999 to me. Hopefully, in year 2, you have a NCAA tournament team. Year 3, you have something special.

I was hoping Cooper and Pryce would be bridge guys for the next coach… it looks like that ain’t happening.

Pryce left it open for a chance of him coming back, but I doubt if he does.

After Davis, we got Alford, then Lick. There was no way we could sink any lower, right?

In the age of Nil and turnstile players, I think we are about to see how low it can go. I am far from the most negative person on this forum, but I dont see any positive direction for a long time. I may be wrong, perhaps we score the coach of the century and secure college players who don’t have million dollar signs, but I can’t see it.

They could make the right hire, McCollum could still be that, so could someone else. But chances and out look is cloudy at the moment. Let’s see what Beth can do.

And if McCollum means it when he says he's solely focused on his team right now, it could be a while before he is able to be hired and announced...and will anyone be left on the roster?

There is no right hire until you secure more NIL money. Illinois who beat us in the BTT had $5.75 million in salary. Iowa had $1.5. And Illinois isn’t even at the top of the conference.

Don’t trust me. Read literally every article out there about the coaching hire (or lack thereof). We are going to whiff when we make good coaches offers because we have no money to give and those coaches know it’s not a winnable situation. The U can’t give the swarm money, it has to come from private donors. The donor base has spoken.
