This is off topic, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Robin Pingeton hire at Wisconsin. Because even a couple weeks later, I'm still baffled. 4 Tournaments in 15 years at Mizzou, last in 2019. Mostly mediocre to horrible seasons since 2019. No real proof she handles the portal era well. I just don't see how she is the one to turn the program around.
The hire announcement felt, to me, uninspired at best for a lot of the reasons you laid out. Nice that she comes in with significant experience in a power conference, but it does look from the outside that it was getting worse more than better in her final years at Mizzou. Nice to see some early portal waves at the least, but I’ll certainly have to be wondering over by the hire
