So, about that Paul Weir press conference. Here's a thread...
• Troy Simons transferring closer to daughter in Pittsburgh will happen, but hasn't yet...
• As of today, none of UNM's transfers (Simons, Simmons, McNeal, MacDougall) have found new teams...
Weir presser cont:
• The plan as of today is entire fulltime staff remains, but none have finalized contracts.

I'll say (Paul didn't say this) mid-May and no new coaching contracts is very weird, and I know they and their families all want it done. Not sure why it's not done.
Weir presser cont:
• Corey Manigault signed Wednesday morning. The JC transfer from Indian Hills JC committed a couple weeks ago. ... UNM is currently at NCAA roster limit of 13 scholarship players.
Weir presser cont:
• Season tickets went on sale yesterday. Weir had been asking for them to be on sale since the team finished regular season on impressive win streak and made it to MWC tourney title game. ... UNM put them on sale just yesterday.
Weir presser cont:
• The plan for now, though schedule is not finalized, is for 17 regular season home games.

• Weir still hopes to get more regional teams to agree to home and home series in the Pit.
Weir presser cont:
• UNM has filed an appeal on behalf of Carlton Bragg to get him eligible to play at beginning of season instead of what, for now, is his scheduled eligibility date of mid-December after first semester closes. ... Arizona St, Weir says, is on board with waiver.
Weir presser cont:
• Point guard is the one position Weir says he's most concerned about. He raved about incoming JC guard Keith McGee. Said he's like to stay away from having JaQuan Lyle run the point, but may have to. Said he'll also give Anthony Mathis another try at PG
Weir presser cont:
• Weir talked, at length, about his personal desire that the program returns to the Top 25 nationally in average home attendance that it had for first 50 years of the Pit's existence, but lost that distinction the season before he was hired.
Weir presser cont:
• Asked how much he pays attention to what other teams in the Mountain West do in the offseason. He said not much at all, but he can't help but be in awe of the talent @EricPMusselman and Nevada has compiled this offseason. ...
Weir presser cont:
• Weir said for right now, there's no question it's Nevada and everyone else chasing them in the Mountain West. That's not to say he doesn't think UNM can get back in that discussion this season to try and compete, but right now, the pecking order is clear.
