As long as Oz and Aus are both happy at ISU I'm not worried.

Is Virginia even an upgrade? I mean sure they have some basketball history but I don't think they have that much better access to talent than Iowa State.

This needs a Keith Murphy CRAP response

Do they expect adjustments?

Morin is a known big Cavalier fan. He’s just a fan writing for TSN trying to push a conversation that to me is grasping for clicks.

Virginia is within 6 hours to a ton of basketball hotbeds (NC, DMV, Philadelphia, NYC). Otz isn't leaving for Virginia, but there's way more talent out their.

His connections are here in the midwest, not out there.

To play devils advocate, Tony Bennett was also a Wisconsin guy. That said, Otz isn't leaving us for Virginia.

I’ve heard the Wisconsin to Virginia pipeline is just waiting to be tapped.

I never say never these days but I doubt it. Then again if you told me Luca would be traded to the Lakers for a broken down center I would have laughed

This is part 1 of 2 issues.

You have certain programs that think they are Blue Bloods and can get anyone at any time.

When in fact they aren’t Blue Bloods, and their school is at best equal (if not lower) in the eyes of the coach mentioned.

It’s why CMC is still here and it’s why TJ will be here. They are perfectly content and not likely to jump sideways to a school where if they lose early, they will be canned.

I say we hire TJ back from Virginia.

No.

There’s also a lot more schools to compete with for that talent. With Virginia down, they’re not exactly on the radar of most of those talented kids.

TJ has no problem getting talent. And with NIL and portal, the talent is super mobile now.

TJ doesn’t have a relative who played football at UV 30 years ago. No chance he’d have any interest.
