Incredible? You’re obviously clueless.
Who stayed from ‘24-‘25 into ‘25-‘26?
How about from ‘23-‘24 to ‘24 - ‘25?
MM was building NOTHING here. 4 years and 4 complete rebuilds and 3 complete failures and 1 average at best to show for it.
We had a complete new starting 5 this year and it was an abject failure.
Let’s ride.

Not tough enough for WW but tough enough for Houston Basketball? Didn’t see that coming… Interesting.
re: Since WW is having to replace the whole team, is there any top player looking at LSU?

The team has been fully replaced for four straight years… This is not unusual… WW is doing the same thing MM has done except he’s gonna do it much better with better results in year one. Hide and watch.

re: What’s your best guess of cost of filling competitive MBB roster this year?

Still about eval. You’ve got to hit on the difference makers and hopefully an impactful freshman. MM kyrptonite! 8 rotation players is what you need.
2 transfer studs = 4 million
2 stud freshman recruits = 4 million
4 starters/rotation = 2/3 million
#9-#15 = 1 million

Texas Southern head coach Jonny Jones appears to be on his way back to LSU to join Will Wade's staff, leaving the HBCU behind.
Jones has resigned, according to Dr. Kenyatta Cavil of the HBCU Sports Lab,

Enjoy Baseball mustache guy
Basketball fans 99% on this one. Could not be more excited.

WW or NC State posts were getting deleted on this forum in the last couple of weeks.
People from the parish who don’t even like basketball down voting positive WW threads… “What has he ever won“ comments from the ill informed…
Any basketball fan I know from teens to 60 absolutely love this moment in history and are giddy with joy today… Anyone else can drink their Boost shake and go to bed.

The fact that you’re talking about him is worth a couple of million dollars
MM’s zero talent in 4 years
Posted by John cocktoasten on 3/15/26 at 1:58 pm
SEC champ game fun to watch w more than a few dudes that confidently put the ball in the hole. Attitude, effort, talent makes for a fun game. 4 years of no talent has been hard to stomach.
SEC hoops down sans gators. Primed for LSU to get serious w WW

Oats is a prick… Cal washed and bizarre, won’t last long… Barnes has been consistently good at least… Vandy and Aggies’s trying to come on….
WW will have us back in the top four consistently like he did for four years straight. Look forward to renewing my season tickets I gave up two years ago. Geaux Tigers.

C’mon Verge …. Yes, you’re still the boss …. Yes, you are a leader … blah blah

But Check the ego. Hire the alpha personality and just don’t talk to the man …. There are people for that. Hoops fans under the age of Dale Brown are pining for the man!

He’s right about one thing. There is no appetite to fire MM for another middling coach…and I agree.
It’s one name that will get the masses excited and the money flowing. My money says it’s happening.

Moscona leading the pack of the uninformed and non-Basketball fans.
ACC has been DOWN - this ain’t the James Worthy or Michael Jordan era.
NC State has had a handful of winning conference records in what .. 30+years?! It’s not the school Richard’s! It’s the COACH! Where have the resources been the last 30 years?Almost DAL (dead arse last) last year to one of the top handful in the league is not becaise it’s an “basketball school” … it’s the COACH!
Have you made a list of the best basketball players in NC State history since the color television and compared to LSU? Chris Corciani anyone??
I also almost threw out my headphones when I heard Moscona repeat the lie that WW was fired to save football… What a joke.
