I feel for the coaching staff. I think we all know what it feels like when you have a project and you keep seeming to wall after wall. They know how high pressure this offseason is. They know we need quality players or we will be an island of misfit toys. I don't envy them at all but they need to keep pushing. A quality pg would play huge minutes here. Seems pretty bad when one of our insiders thought we'd have a lock but they chose to go somewhere else. What is the most we can offer in NIL? is that whats slowly us down? Milwaukee seems like they are putting together a solid team while we can't get any momentum. This is a coaching staff issue, not an NIL issue.

Chase Forte is headed to South Dakota. Our rookie staff is getting their asses handed to them.

There's well over 1,000 players still in the portal. Patience, fellas. patience my ass lol We are the only Horizon league team that haven’t done anything. We have 5 spots open it’s the end of April… Do something That’s the problem you get when you add 2 to your staff that have no college coaching experience under their belt. I hope the new coaches turn out to be good additions in the long run but in the short term, they weren’t the best hiring decision Sargent could have made for his first staff with almost 1/2 a roster to replace.

Northwestern State transfer Chase Forte is visiting Thursday.. Unless someone comes in at the last minute and drops a bag in his lap like the Jacob Conner situation, I like our chances with Forte. I also like Forte. He is the type of athlete at guard we need to be bringing in. I hope by the end of the week we are one down and 4 to go when it comes to our scholarship situation and we can start building some momentum.

I'm glad I'm not the only one concerned. I've always heard “no news is good news”. I think in this situation it only means no news. I’m concerned the transfers are concerned about lack of head coach experience. I don’t think that really has much to do with our lack of commitments. Like I have said several times now, I was hoping that Clint would have hired an experienced assistant to fill the 3rd coaching spot. No one on our staff is an experienced coach when it comes to the portal and utilizing NIL. Nagy didn’t like the portal and didn’t really have his staff utilize it much so Sargent, Bere, and Trice have limited experience with it. Cole and Jaaron have no real recruiting experience let alone portal recruiting experience. Recruiting high school kids is like a guy courting a girl in the 1960s. Recruiting the portal is like speed dating or looking for a hook up on Tinder. Our staff is trying to build relationships with kids when other schools are calling kids up and just offering them a scholarship and NIL bag. Our staff needs to start landing some kids to get the ball rolling in the right direction. They aren’t going into next season with 5 open spots. They are going to use those scholarships one way or another. They need to land some quality players. We can’t afford to let all the good players commit elsewhere while we are trying to get their shit together. We can’t afford to fill out the roster with guys that can’t contribute like Bo Myers.
