I want to give credit to the Maryland players though. This season clearly didn’t go as planned, but they never stopped playing hard. I’ll always be proud of their effort, despite the final record #GoTerps
RIP Maryland basketball’s winning season streak 1993-2021. This is the first losing season of my lifetime and it just feels weird and wrong. I don’t hope to see another one anytime soon, but that’s going to depend on who they hire. Make it a good one, Terps.
@AndrewEmmer And last year was the first season he ever had a team above 49th in Kenpom. Turge had done that 5 times at two different schools before he was hired, though admittedly was never as high as 6.
Because I'm an insane person and have been thinking about this for a while, here's my very rough list of coaches I'd like to see get a look, in no order:
David Vanterpool
Kenny Payne
Mark Pope
Andy Enfield
Mike Boynton
Ryan Odom
Kevin Willard
@AndrewEmmer Mark Pope is the only one with a higher winning percentage than him before he was hired. Turgeon’s Texas A&M tenure was better than any of these guys. Willard’s four straight tourneys at Seton Hall is the closest but he has a career 56.2 win%. Turge was at 61.1% when he was hired
I understand this season was going downhill and divorce may have been inevitable at the end, but I hate this. Context matters and Gary was still a better coach, but Mark had a higher win% here. Bad coaches don’t have 19 straight winning seasons. Terps better nail the new hire.
Kris gave the Cubs everything you could ask for out of a top prospect. I just hope we can find someone so special again soon. I’m so glad we didn’t draft that pitcher I foolishly wanted. Thanks for everything KB, we’ll never forget you.
From Rookie of the Year to MVP and World Series Champion.
We've watched you grow into one of the best ballplayers and human beings to wear a Cubs uniform.
Wishing all the best to you and your family, @KrisBryant_23.
This one hurts the most. One of the most dynamic players I have ever had the privilege to watch. My favorite Cub since Sammy Sosa, who made me a fan all those years ago. Thank you Mago for always giving us a reason to watch, knowing you’d likely do at least one thing spectacular.
To @ARizzo44, the heart and soul of the greatest Cubs team of all time.
For all you’ve done on the field and for all you do off it.
Thank you. #TeamRizzo
@GI_Jayneee Honestly I don’t even know what the right thing to do is with all three of them is. We have so much money coming off the books and the QO also exists. I’m just having a hard time preparing to let go
@GI_Jayneee Yeah it’s always tough to get an elite prospect for a rental but I’m hoping we can control the market since more teams want to buy than sell and we have so many assets theoretically available
@GI_Jayneee JD’s bat is definitely intriguing but -30 DRS in barely over a season of defensive innings is otherworldly bad. I don’t know much about the Mets system other than we’re not getting Alvarez. I’ve heard us linked to Vientos a bunch. And I’m just happy Duffy’s back at this point.
