Portal is open now and kids are going in. No contact I think until March 15th I want to say though. Verbal Commits has been posting all day about kids going into portal.

Chrome incognito when you do a search on title of article works...having said that, this piece was kind of a nothing burger.

Can you post the storey here? Behind paywall...

I'm with 82, without knowing what Hampton pays, I don't know if he walks away from 800k. Although that may be more palatable if he got 250-300k for 5 year type contract. Let's face it, we are watching the slow death of a career here. If he doesn't turn it around here in the remaining two years he'll probably never be a HC again in D1 hoops.

Make of this what you will...

Amica has to go as well...can't keep tying up a scholarship for a kid who has been with program for close to half a decade and can't get healthy. Same story for the freshman big with a heart condition. Killings will have scholarships. Priority should be to keep Marshall and Thomas if he can and recruit at least 2 bigs who can play some interior defense and rebound, finish around the hoop. If he doesn't will be another lost season. He's gonna have scholarships to give out...may e as many as 4 more in addition to the two freshman signed.

The next coach that shows up here with some BS like "mentality" should be immediately viewed with skepticism. Frauds will usually have you focus on some shinning slogan to turn your attention away from what matters, if they can coach or not.

Final numbers on the year.. Here were the numbers last year. They actually objectively improved quite a bit. Took a bit step forward offensively without a doubt. Even improved defensively.

It's not fair IMO, DK inherited an established D1 program, even if not a winning one and one that has not been good. WB had nothing here to start with not to mention the facilities DK has that WB could only dream of. We may never know why the Beagle relationship soured as it did. Neely's promising career is off the rails. The one big he recruit last year showed up with heart issues and never played. He hasn't proven himself competent coaching but he does appear to have an eye for talent. Problem is he can't coach it. Next year is make it or break it for him. Needs to be top 4 with winning AE record.

Listen, as much as we all are done with DK, I think the kids played very hard today so at least they are still playing for him.

As we had to off-season. Will be interesting who stays. Beagle is obviously gone, Thomas and Marshall probably better than 50% chance both leave. Hope both stay. Amica should be gone as well as he's graduating although I know he said he hopes to come back. Need the scholarship for someone that can play d1 basketball. Giralt scholarship will also be freed up. Will be interesting.

They win what they can in spite of DK. Horrible hire...

Thomas got taken out of the game with 3 fouls...good first half but not much faith here.

It starts with him recruiting 6'5 bigs like Newton, the only size he had quit on him and he played teflon defense anyway so it's a parade inside. There is zero size inside so everyone attacks them inside.

The only thing that can save us is if he slaps Beagle!

Up next UVM, whom we are 1-16 againsts in the last 8 years going back to the old coach. This steaming pile of $iena program is a complete embarrassment. Here's to 1-17 and DK fired (I know it won't happen). At least he made it to the post season this year LOL. We used to compete in the AE, going on a decade we are a complete laughing stock. Kids getting smacked around, other promising kids quitting. Wasn't much better recently with the old coach either. This program is a joke. For those curious, these are AE numbers only. Nice defense this loser coach is coaching. If you can believe it, it's actually a slight improvement on last year. LOL! Amazing!

They won't fire him...no money. What a disaster this season has turned into. Just end it...

There is no hope for this program for another 2 years before a new coach arrives. Complete train wreck!

Fire DK and I'll be interested again, maybe. Trash product.

Incident...lol...oh oh

It looked promising but another lost season...it's obvious DK doesn't have it.

Great post...open a brand new building and $iena the diaper like this in year 3 is disgusting. Considering the garbage coaching, the drama surrounding DK, zero interest in defense...it's over. $iena-can him if you can figure out the finances. The fact that the only thing keeping DK here is he's owed to much money should tell you all you need to know. Program has been a complete mess under his so called "leadership". It's over!

Reasonable considering the results past year. Resets clock to 3 years on contract. Congrats to GG. You gotta reward those results. Hopefully no long downswing again.

Next coach is already local...Carm had to go. Our coach isn't great but that was a complete crime what happened over there.
