The interesting thing to watch with state now is if someone comes and offers Keats a bag. They were coach shopping before state got hot and he knows it. He might bounce.

I thought about that earlier. It's a possible and the bag offer is perhaps likely too.

I would bounce if I were Keatts, he was a miracle shot away from being fired and he’ll have to rebuild the entire State team if he stays.

Winning the ACC tournament triggered a lot of bonuses, and a bag of money.  If someone comes at him, they better have deep pockets.  And would a deep pockets team come after a guy who was on the hot seat until the ACC tournament?

That's a good point. From the team introduction, most of the guys playing are seniors and grad students.

I’ve said before, State doesn’t have the NIL brand to be anything other than a Cinderella which sucks because NIL is ruining college sports. Rebuilding this team is going to be tough.

If I’m Keatts and Arkansas comes calling then I’m gone.

Does he have to stay to get that bag or did he get the bag already?

I mean, state was always competitive under Herb Sendek and they ran him off and sucked for years. They always get too big for their britches. If I'm Keats and the check has cleared I'm absolutely entertaining offers.

I blame Linville for this State loss.

 

He said he was done and the moment he came back State has looked awful. Think for ruining a State Nat'l championship.

Wait, I thought you told us all State was winning a ship.  Humble pie is served

They ultimately have to put some guardrails on NIL. College football is already ridiculously concentrated where only a small handful of teams have a reasonable opportunity of competing and basketball will get the same way of they don't do something.

Purdue definitely has enough to beat UConn…but Bama can score with anyone and they ain’t rolling over here

I think UConn and Purdue are the two best teams but I can't see Purdue beating them. It's just a bad match up. Bama runa completely hit or cold. Hot Bama can beat anybody. Cold Bama can get beat by anybody.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
