They aren't going to reveal anything to the public until afterwards (if ever). It's possible there is more to the story.

They better have a coach ready to announce. And they better not whiff.

I don’t like Brannen and want another coach. That said just fire him because you don’t like his performance and move on. Something nobody has bought up, If this was really serious no way UC allow him hang around team still, he would’ve been on paid leave during this investigation if anything. Paying firm $250k just to save couple million make us look small time. Pay him his full buyout and move on.

I don’t want to buy time either. Get it right or GTFO!

What team is he around? There are only four scholarship players remaining. And how do any of us know he is permitted to hang around the team at all? They must have found cause to fire him and are having an independent fact finder compile those facts to present to Brannen with an offer to move forward without him.

They didn't quit under huggins because they couldn't. The transfer rules are insane.

Yep, haven’t heard anything but some people on here seem to know everything somehow. It’s really impressive

Thinking of a best case scenario. We have some players now that seem to want to stay. We have some players potentially waiting this out to see who the coach will be. There is at least one coach (miller) who could potentially bring some players along.

If we could keep 7-8 of our players and bring 2-3 along with a new coach we may only need to fill a 2-4 spots as opposed to 8-10.

All coaches now could probably bring some players with the transfer rules. Belmont has a 6-11 Jr Center with a 119.5 ORTG and 6.6 block rate. Belmont fell apart when he got hurt at the end of the year. Just picture a lefty Vogt, I know you guys can't wait (although he can shoot a bit, 72% career FT shooter and 31% career 3 on 81 attempts).

Yeah, on the skinny podcast, chad said that the AD has been meeting with the players transferring to keep them informed and trying to keep them.

The whole situation is strange. I’m all for siding with the players, but if there doesn’t turn out to be much there, that’s a dangerous game.
