Lots and lots of movement today. I am predicting 2-3 key departures for WSU and If we lose Smith, which I think we will, upwards of 5-6.
You just can’t sell these current players on Big Time basketball, when we will be playing in the WCC next year
If Smith leaves I would expect most of the roster to portal. At least the Tournament keeps the team together for as long as it last.Lots and lots of movement today. I am predicting 2-3 key departures for WSU and If we lose Smith, which I think we will, upwards of 5-6.

hey chicken little, can we at least wait until the corpse is cold (we're out of the tourney)?Lots and lots of movement today. I am predicting 2-3 key departures for WSU and If we lose Smith, which I think we will, upwards of 5-6.

It does seem odd to talk about the demise of the program at the very time the Cougs are actually playing in the NCAA Tournament. I'm going to focus on the Drake game and hopefully beyond. Only once the season is over will I even ponder the idea that the coach and players may bolt. Enjoy the current team and don't worry about the future team.....yet. The Big Dance doesn't happen very often for WSU.hey chicken little, can we at least wait until the corpse is cold (we're out of the tourney)?
Really? Lots of former Cougar football players wish to say hello!If Smith leaves I would expect most of the roster to portal. At least the Tournament keeps the team together for as long as it last.
Damn Stretch I'm proud of you. A post with no mention of any old geezers!Really? Lots of former Cougar football players wish to say hello!
Did your almost wife leave you at the alter?Lots and lots of movement today. I am predicting 2-3 key departures for WSU and If we lose Smith, which I think we will, upwards of 5-6.

You know, with what coaches will or won't do I'm the kiss of death. I was one of the people chanting "Stay" to Erickson 30 years ago when the only thing stopping him going to Miami was when Jimmy Johnson found an NFL gig. Thought no way Price would go to Alabama. Didn't believe Tony would have gone to LSU or IU. Thought "pillars" might keep him from going to UVA. Never thought we would hire Graham or Kent. I'm not a "realist" when it comes to the Coug's.Slap all of your faces!
I hear ya, but it's kind've interesting to enjoy the ride after losing to Arizona State, Washington and Colorado.You know, with what coaches will or won't do I'm the kiss of death.

I was one of the few around here that didn't meltdown after the Cal loss. When it comes to this environment I hope for the best, but expect the worst. Until the offseason, I'm enjoying the ride.

I’m not far behind that win pctThe only three games I've watched this season...
I'm bad luck.
Yeah, that one hurt a little bit. I'll try to avoid ever doing that in the future! ;-)Damn Stretch I'm proud of you. A post with no mention of any old geezers!
The game starting Thursday after 9p CT for me makes me wonder if I should not watch for the team's benefit 😅I’m not far behind that win pct
You have certainly picked some turds to tune into this year. You could be on to something. See you in April!The game starting Thursday after 9p CT for me makes me wonder if I should not watch for the team's benefit 😅
Maybe your luck will be better for baseball games.....You have certainly picked some turds to tune into this year. You could be on to something. See you in April!
Hard to know what the effect of the portal will be. If Smith stays he might be in a good position to pick up some talent. Stanford had its top 2 freshman enter the portal today. It is hard to know what a player might think about the trips Stanford and Cal are going to have to make or for that matter the trips that UW and UO have to make. Flying to California to play St. Mary's or Pacific or USF or Pepperdine or Loyola or San Diego might actually seem like a saner existence than flying to Rutgers, Maryland, Michigan and Ohio. The NCAA tourney is the great equalizer. The scouts are going to see you wherever you play.I made a pretty damn good case on why there is about a 67% chance that Smith stays for at least another season.
Obviously your a chicken little the sky is falling DOOM AND GLOOMER, that didn't read, understand, participate in that discussion, etc.
In addition to those reasons, here is another.
Smith, and others are saying that Smith, and WSU are working, hammering out a contract extension, because of how much Smith really wants to stay for at least another season, and because of how much WSU wants him, and because of how much Smith, his family, etc, love WSU, Pullman, etc, which he is probably not lying about, pulling a Erickson, etc, because he is a CHURCH ATTENDING person.
Here is a link that worth reading, listening, etc, to, if I can figure out how to post it.(Got a new phone(copied link to clipboard(not seeing a "paste clipboarded link" option.
OK let's see if this works
WSU coach Kyle Smith on potential extension: 'We're working on it'
WSU men's basketball coach Kyle Smith joined Bump and Stacy to talk about making the NCAA Tournament and his future with the program.sports.mynorthwest.com
It worked.
Semi pain in but having to learn the new semi pain in but new phone, browser, etc, interface, in order to copy, paste, share a link.

this reminds me of Eds pediction of 50 football players hitting the portalLots and lots of movement today. I am predicting 2-3 key departures for WSU and If we lose Smith, which I think we will, upwards of 5-6.

Yes, you are bad luck. Go back to your closet!The only three games I've watched this season...
