BASKETBALL The Hunger/Clayon Watch

CoralSpringsCat
Should they stay or should they go now?

How many scholarships will Collins have to work with? He’s got one based on the Barkley departure. Will NU allow for another two scholarships with the roster scholarship increase to 15? If so would that mean either Hunger or Clayton stay? Both? We could then bring in three transfers and retain both Luke and/or Jordan. It’s going to be interesting to see how this all shakes out.

Explain to the head coach that you will negotiate after that and how you will address any concerns.
If that requires a hard reset, at least you know what the rules are.
If Collins decides to leave right away then you know you made the right decision (because he was leaving no matter what).

Until the smoke clears? The portal is open now, man!

The best case scenario for an NU fan, an NU player with eligibility in demand, and Collins himself is to do what he did. Nail down some certainty for the program and get ready for next year.

If he fails to deliver in 3-4 years he can always be canned. Northwestern has a ton of resources to buy him out if needed.

Just a leverage ploy, then.
Great leverage for Collins because the AD wants to get his name in the paper.

Personally, I'm not a fan of longterm deals. Obviously there are hordes on this website who would make him the highest paid coach for eternity. I sense a big mistake coming.

Not really about Collins the individual, I just think it is damned near impossible for Northwestern to make an informed decision, with the landscape changing dramatically - and unpredictably. Committing to anything longterm in those circumstances is very risky.

If you were Collins and putting yourself in the best position for yourself or your family, what would you do?

When last extension was offered - it was May 2023, and that was a 3-year extension. That meant that it was set to expire in 2025, and that extended him through 2028.

I'm guessing it's another 3 year extension?

IMO that is the sweet spot, 5 to 6 years out when extended. I don't like the idea of long term meaning more than that. Not for Collins, not for any coach.
