Basketball Roster Movement

Ark. State Coach to South Florida. Sounds like a lateral move.
The dude didn't even make a NCAA tournament. Wild.

Jonesboro, Arkansas -> Tampa Bay, Florida?

I'd take a giant pay cut to get out of that city. I wouldn't say it's a lateral move.

Not a lateral move, going from the SBC to the AAC, the AAC was the 11th best conference in basketball, the SBC was the 18th. The Tampa/St Pete area is 1000% better than Jonesboro. USF has a much higher ceiling in basketball than ASU. There is no comparison between USF and stAte. No offense to stAte.

Had 2 chances to parlay a tournament championship to a P4 job. Couldn’t do it, so took a better mid-major job.

Though agree is most certainly a better job than ASU.

Georgia State, the former SBC MBB darling, leads the SBC with 5 on the way out.

Success today in the SBC has become as good as your last recruiting class.

750+ in the portal on day one. 300 last year was the record.

Lots of self overvaluing going on.

I bet close to 1/2 those kids were told to move on by the team that played for

This model is unsustainable.

This model is unsustainable.

There’s a long term impact. Now the good majority of the money chasers end up with no offer and out of a free ride for many a life changing education.

At some point, it will be the universities’ fault and lawsuits will abound. Over a system the players wanted.
