Md. 247's Jeff Ermann reports Hammond and Hansberry inking contracts
with VT!! Guess what HC was contacting them or their agents recently? Anyway, Brent has double the NIL cash he had last season, so the little butterball may indeed get Md. back to become competitive in the BIG. So, good news if he's correct about VT!

Buzz will have MDU competing for B1X championships.
It might not be next season, but maybe the following season.

I have changed my take on Brent at Md. With increased NIL cash, his normal
cheating/illegal contacting, and silver tongue BS, I now think you are correct. Then, he'll piss off everyone there and move on yet again.

Williams would be a perfect fit....
at UNC. He dovetails perfectly with their latest mantra of "to seem rather than to be" and he doesn't have to change a thing, just has to be himself.

Hansberry
If this is accurate then Frazier will be back next season, where Frazier goes Hansberry follows.

True. If he's correct, Frazier's the reason he's sticking around.

That is a downside tto pay the players that was hardly disscussed early on
Where our program is right now is the epitomy of a place to be raided. A place that seems to have internal chemistry issues and that can easily be outbid is a sitting duck.

"Internal chemistry issues" = "not enough ME" IMO

It also can mean "I don't have a clue and will throw this up against
the wall to see who buys it" !! Lots of possible interpretations there.

This enterprise is all business, and getting the best value
These teams are professoinal entities. They earn money, and deliver branding for the institution. To be successful, the enterprise hires coaches and support staff who aquire talent to be successful. Contributors only give, if they see return on their investments; some sustain and some leave based on the effectiveness of the program. The big difference is the talent aquisition is now a new aspect. The idea of college tuition for players perspective is given for any instituion. From players perspective, they are a business themselves, and they are looking for a place where they can get the best return from earnings, culture, development, and be successful, They are looking for the best school that can offer the best return of investment. College Basketball programs/coaches no role is like a broadway show or professional team, create the best venue and services, acquire the best talent and produce the best production, and if your program is the best, looks the best, you get the best return on investment.

Double the NIL he had last season at Maryland?
I wonder how that compares to what A&M made available. ** Edited by HokieNL at 4/1/2026, 10:54:26 PM
