Goodbye Keyshawn Hall

Coaches should start offering multi-year NIL deals to players, with buyouts that pay money back to the school if the player transfers before the deal’s up. Basically, treat it like a coach’s contract. That way, coaches can stop complaining about having to re-recruit their own guys every offseason.

Yeah, it’s a bigger commitment, but that’s the reality now. The programs that adapt will keep their rosters together, protect their investment, and actually build some loyalty instead of starting from scratch every year.

Hmmmm... is Key Hall toxic? Here's the analysis:

UNLV • Mountain West
2022-23 • Hall • conf 7 – 11... bad
2023-24 • No Hall • conf 11– 7... NIT

Geo Mason • A-10

2023-24 • Hall • conf 9 – 9... meh
2024-25 • No Hall • conf 14 – 4... A-10 co-champs, NIT

UCF • Big 12

2024-25 • Hall • conf 7 – 13... bad
2025-26 • No Hall • conf 3 – 3... better so far

Auburn • SEC

2024-25 • No Hall • conf 15 – 3... NCAA Final Four
2025-26 • Hall • current conf. 3 – 3... meh
2026-27 • No Hall • ... TBD

RESULTS: Definitely, a pattern emerges. When Hall joins a new team they're not so good. When he leaves a team they get MUCH better.

In hindsight, glad we shed that virus.

Yep, there is no I in team, but there is a me. In this case, me is spelled KH.

"The UCF transfer did not play the final 12:38 of Tuesday's loss to Vanderbilt, per a "coach's decision" from Pearl, who has talked repeatedly about needing "our best players to defend better." Without Hall, Auburn outscored the Commodores 33-29."

The team was better without him......LOL.
