We don't have one girl good enough to play at SDSU and it has nothing to do with Hutter.  That program has been much better than our's for decades.  

ur right and if she was they would have offered her 3 or four years before graduating high school, and if he did the first question her parents would ask is do you even have a contract to coach there until 2029 and his answer would be no

western Oregon was 15 and 13 on the season at the ncaa d2 level, is bringing in another 5 7 gaurd when we have 6, 5 7 gaurds on our roster already really something to make huge strides in improving the roster, a d2 signee, i guess this fits my comments of what d1 transfer wants to come to a lame duck coaching staff, so far the answer is none

Well they did bring in several d1 transfers last year. I guess that doesn’t fit your narrative

who were lied to and told they had trust in their abilities as a staff from administration saying they were being offered a multi-year contract, had known otherwise never 25 and transfers never would have came is my guess, or at least mine wouldn't

Why are you saying “we”, you’ve provided some entertainment to the WBB thread but clearly not a fan. So go follow your daughter wherever she goes in the portal and go harass their coach’s contract in their fan forum.

Wow. I've posted some probably terrible takes over the years, but I would have never thought posting a link to a press release about a signing would be what warranted my first downvotes ever.

In the Portal era, do long term coaching contracts matter? Effectively everyone is a one year deal free agent.

To some its seems like that is the only thing that matters.

Yeah it really doesn’t matter much in today’s college basketball. It’s a weird hill for this parent to try to die on

yep u must be right, 1300 d1 athletes in the portal have so far sided with me, guessing the one or two that don't will come after realizing no one else is offering

How so?
You say most coaches have multi-year deals; kids won't leave that or so i'm told.

This parent who repeatedly keeps writing on here obviously has some serious mental issues going on. He definitely has disturbing issues going on in his brain if he has a brain. Scary.

I have no idea how her career will pan out here, but a 3:1 assist to turnover ratio is pretty damn impressive (2nd in d2). The team could have used someone with that skill set last year

I agree, she will definitely take time away from the other 5 or 6 57 gaurds on the team who thought their playing time was locked in, she had one other d1 offer tennessee state, if she was star studded with those stats their would have been a hundred offers like d2 u of mary girl, high offers even so im a little confused number 2 in d2 with 2 d1 offers, wouldn't you think a ton more, zero d1 offers in highschool, you know that hutter he will make a star out of her

the bolded part says it all.  You've made it quite clear throughout these threads that you are a YOUniversity of ND fan.
