Looks like an Evansville win and 2 teams will get in the Tournament. 

Western ILL has struggled in many sports for years. This is probably a better move for them 

It's a start in the right direction.

Bless him but I am not paying that much money. Especially with NIL destroying the potential future of our program and student athletes families not being grateful for the opportunity to play for Murray. I am now less interested than ever before.

Last several years I attended away games at TTU, Belmont, and JSU. I still plan to come to Murray for a game next year as I missed not having the game day experience on campus as it's been several years. However it's becoming less interesting. I knew Power 5 teams would be after our guys with NIL. However seeing Youngstown State having more NIL money than us is really disappointing.

Positive is every other team in the league is dealing with this as well. All these coaches and school are adapting on the fly.

Hill should have never left Murray, but I think his father advised him to do so. I will catch flack for this but his family has some negative things to say as they left about Murray. Reality his career would been better off at Murray.

Quote from: jayinbama on March 29, 2023, 02:01:53 PMI hope I am wrong but DJ will be the last 4 year player we see at Murray.

I'm guessing you meant KJ?  DJ was only here 2 years.  I think Tevin was here 5 years after missing his first year with the injury.

Ah yeah lost track of time.

I'll never understand how a guy that was so elite in HS defensively was unable to sniff the court for this team. Really think this one is a miss

Big difference in being an elite 1 on 1 defender and being elite team defender. 

I hope I am wrong but DJ will be the last 4 year player we see at Murray.

Since no one responded...I will.... Fewer boys play sports in general these days. All schools are seeing that. You add that with soccer being added it makes a difference. 

As of 8 pm today 174 in the transfer portal in D1

I wish him the best but his off court issues were a distraction this team did not need during the season. 

No one was going to be real successful in year 1 at LSU. Honestly won more games than I expected. Matt knows what he is doing and they will be better next season. You guys have access to money and resources for NIL. 

Nothing new on JSU front last I heard from some in the know.
