Maybe just don’t let him write the contract…
Since everyone is crapping on Scott Woodward for the Kelly/Jimbo buyouts: * He convinced the winningest coach in Notre Dame football to leave ND * He hired a 2x natty winning baseball coach and natty winning women's hoops coach at LSU Id hire him in a second at another school

Said all summer that Joe Sterling is a HM kid. IMO, he’s the best 2026 shooter in the country…

Long, athletic, rim-running big @Josh_Irving21 commits to @aggiembk. Will prove to be a really good fit for #buckyball. Played for 2 of the best in @ClintParks05 & @MrYeahIKnow with CPSA on the Puma Circuit - included a stop in Bryan, TX in July. I’ll catch him live this year.
If your eyes work, you know what you’re looking at.. ‘26 7’1 @Josh_Irving21 big time future! Somebody will be getting a future 1st rounder very soon. @ClintParks05 @MrYeahIKnow

Someone told me the A&M fans will buy the Bucky McMillan episode at a higher clip than the NC State fans have purchased the Will Wade episode and candidly I don’t believe it but here it is Gig Em Nation.

Big fan of Bucky Ball and very intrigued by this roster. Texas A&M will be appointment television for me this year.
Today we welcome Bucky Ball to our top-50 party over at @basket_review Texas A&M will look like an entirely different operation next year - will 'the system' hold up in a vaunted SEC? https://t.co/ml06fUOmXa

Texas A&M’s Pop Isaacs (Scorer/Creator) and Mackenzie Mgbako (Wing Handler) make the cut for @Isaac__Trotter’s best players in college basketball by positional archetype 👍
Ranking college basketball's best players, by positional archetypes. One of my favorite projects. - 2025-26 impact only. Not tilted toward NBA upside. - Numerous guys could fit in a few buckets. - Left off the brilliant Jayden Quaintance while he heals up from an ACL.

I was hesitant for the Padres to give up prospects, but why not?! They sell out every game - AJ’s making a winner - keeping people believing. Do what you can, while you can!

I’d go as far to say, the most important piece of this team, totally changes the front court. 🤞 on the waiver. I’ve been told USC didn’t think it was possible so they didn’t even try and keep him. If it comes through, I love this team as a top end SEC group.
I truly believe Agee is one of the most important pieces on this team, and if he’s granted a waiver, this team’s ceiling skyrockets. He’s the vocal leader of the group, McMillan has praised his leadership, he’s got the most experience, and his physicality is built for the SEC.

Love the push on @TeamCPSA from @aggiembk. This program is led by two of the best skills coaches in the country - @ClintParks05 & @MrYeahIKnow - who can REALLY coach. I’d also offer @JoeSterling0, would be a perfect skill fit for Bucky. He’s a HM guard - can’t tell me otherwise.
All three of them can hoop, and two of three are @PRO16League guys playing for @TeamCPSA ! @jrobcroy_1 & @Josh_Irving21 had a hell of a weekend and definitely solidified themselves as high major talents with very high upsides!
