I've heard some numbers about Davidson players. I haven't tried to verify them. Maybe it'll get more transparent in the future.

Shifted to 3 pm today and then a doubleheader tomorrow. Go Cats. Close the season with some wins.

Is today our elimination day or do we survive until tomorrow?

I have confidence in wftc. Dude said 5/15. It probably happened already and just isn't public.

Certain to be low. There is no way that $3M is the total compensation for the top of the big schools. I also doubt that the top teams in the A10 are paying as little as $1.25M for their whole roster.

https://twitter.com/JasonBelzer/status/1767237790691938317/photo/2 Old news. 2 months ago. It suggests that A10 schools median pay to a starter would be $50k. 10th percentile is $25k, 90th percentile is $300k. Here is total team compensation: https://twitter.com/JasonBelzer/status/176723779069193831...

The worrisome thing to me is that some of our fans think we'll be good to very good without further additions. I fear that our coaches think the same. Without additional players, I think we are what we've been for the last two years---good enough to make good teams have to really work to beat us. An...

Should we still expect to hear about a DC portal commitment today?

The guy I heard a rumor about isn't from the portal. Not sure if that's the same guy wftc was referring to. He sounded certain. The shooting guard I heard about was a hopeful maybe.

Gonzaga's past, present, and future are all much brighter than ours. Easy choice. Unless he wants a lot of playing time.

I'll admit to spending way too much time trolling around here for portal news. Same. Tomorrow is the day that wftc says we add a starter. On the ladies' side, I keep looking for confirmation about the player Cowie mentioned. If it is player I think it is, she's a huge addition for us. Love her vide...

How old were your kids when you guys told them that Santa Claus isn't real?

They are 29 and 23. Haven't told them. Santa Claus is far more real than the odds of the Wildcats making a 7-team A10 tournament.

Don't waste hope on that one. Even if we sweep, we're almost certainly eliminated.

I hate to say this out loud, but it seems that some of our shaky pitching is coming around. We've had solid outings from Perkins, Weber, Champey, Katz, Fix, and Ban recently. It's good to have Cavanaugh back, but he obviously is not back to optimal form yet. We're still missing O'Shaughnessy and Co...

Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Warren Nolan predicts that we win the opener. I think we'll win at least two. Go Cats. We haven't swept a road series this season (only swept two at home--Siena and the Bonnies), but this one is possible. It'd be a nice way to finish a disappointing season.
