Man, she could've had 20 more year in her, I didn't realize she was so young when alzheimer's hit

Don't care what anyone says, Summitt was the GOAT. A travesty her career - and life, obviously - were cut short.

So the Muss rumors are rearing their ugly head again lol.

He is interviewing for the USC job tomorrow.

Something really fishy is going on here, a couple of days ago our AD Hunter Yurachek posted a video on Twitter of Muss coming back. The only problem is Muss had no idea that Yurachek posted that video and apparently it angered him.

Would you be upset or happy if he left?

I know SMU is going to the ACC, but leaving USC for SMU seems like an add move. Maybe he didn’t want the travel going to the Big 10, though he’s still going to have a fair amount in the ACC.

Honestly I would be happy if he left lol, these last 2 years have been rough on me as a fan but remarkably we made a Sweet 16 last year which makes this move a little odd. I can see why hes interested in the move though he played at San Diego, coached both the GS Warriors and the Sacramento Kings, and one of his sons still goes to school at San Diego I believe so he probably wants to be closer to his family. He can also live on/near the ocean which also interests him, his wife, their son and their daughter.

USC is going to the Big 10 next year although I think the SEC is a better basketball conference especially this year. USC is a brand name though that can afford to pay him alot I would imagine, plus this year Andy Enfield got Isaiah Collier and Bronny James to play for him so Muss will be able to get some top level talent to go to USC.

Nothing is set in stone yet but there is alot of smoke so the feeling in Northwest Arkansas is he will leave.

According to sources, Calipari has informed Kentucky he is negotiating with Arkansas for their head coaching job.

Very interesting development.

Razor Hogs, How would you feel about Calipari. You'll get the best recruiting class Arkansas has ever seen. But a mediocre coach.

That is what im concerned about, again he is 1-4 in the past 5 NCAA tournaments and he cant win in the SEC Tournament too. Apparently we r ready to offer him between 6-7 million with NIL money and so on, so I feel like he needs to make some serious noise in March to justify this.

Im honestly surprised by this, hes 65 so its interesting hes doing this now.

No way I believe this.
