Isn’t this great?

Long gone are the days that you can send some guy to a penal colony in Western New York and keep them there for 4 years.

Thanks for keeping us updated on this A.A. Fernandes will be a great pickup for someone.

We'll miss him for sure. Hopefully he can stay injury free next year. Don't think I've seen too many people from our side mad or anything, certainly just will be tough to see him in a different uniform next year.

Penal colony? Is that similar to walling off one’s students to protect them from the… uhhhh… fine citizens surrounding campus?

Fernandes is a grad transfer so you can’t blame him on the surface. And hey, he even let them know right away! Not like he said was coming back and then entered the portal at the end of April or anything….

Similar. The walled off one is more like a prison and historically it has been easier to escape from.

Also of note…Jameer Nelson Jr. Is leaving Delaware. St Joe’s would love him but does Phil Martelli have an in with him going to Michigan?

He also just had a kid, so there might be some more in his personal life there to deal with.

In good news for UMass: RJ Luis just signed an NIL deal with us (details to be announced officially soon), so he'll definitely be back next year.

Gosh… can you guys imagine how many more sales RJ Luis will generate for companies in Western Mass?!?

It's through this: https://www.themasscollective.com/

It could be as simple as being paid to participate in specific podcasts or make appearances at specific events.

I love the word "collective". I picture a bunch of guys sitting at a big table in the back of a restaurant.

That’s pretty accurate, based on what I know about some of these “collectives”.

If Martin was mad at fans before wait until Luis struggles a few games and the “collective” takes to Twitter and asks what are we paying this guy for?

Speaking Martin…is he talking to South Florida about their opening? I saw his name pop up in speculation that he might want to go back to that area.

That’s good for the Rams of the Bronx and good for the A-10.

But not good for my blood pressure…

The store that sells me bourbon nearby, is very happy.

What about poor A.A.? The Rams of The Bronx may yet become a perennial contender for the Wether Cup.
