Bethesda figuring out that ESO and FO76 content makes money has really slowed their single player developments to a crawl.

Yep, now we've got all the talent you could hope for. Up to Bruce and Co. to use their acumen to pull the right levers and get this team to play together.

This was the late 90s in central Florida but a neighbor leasing land out by cane fields had a bunch of emus. Hilarious birds but dumb as a rock and I'd imagine a pain to look after.

Based on his post about working on websites, the job hunting has probably not gone well. Any peers of mine that lost jobs due to DOGE or tech offshoring have been really struggling to find anything close to the jobs they lost.

Houston needs a bonafide lead scorer. Jalen Green is way too inefficient but Jabari ain't that guy either - on the off chance that he is he should probably go somewhere else to try and prove it.

I agree, too many new faces that have to learn to play together. On the high side maybe a 4 seed in the NCAA tourney.

You do realize we made the final four last year?

Can't believe there are Auburn fans comparing CBM leaving to KD leaving :lol:

KD was a pinball inside scorer with no outside shot who more often than not was a net negative.

CBM was an integral piece to our offense and defense on a team that made the final four.

If we can't pay our contributing players on the back of the success we just had then we are not serious as a basketball program in this new era.

The PTB has to put in many regulations to stop the bleeding. Contracts for a start. Transfer limitations might be hard to do because a regular student can up and transfer schools at anytime. But contracts can slow that down. Put a “salary cap” on the programs. There are other options but those would be great starts.

They can't. The NCAA punted on paying players for so long that the court system nuked the student athlete myth. Congress could pass something to provide an anti-trust exemption but cmon.

Every single thing you listed would get struck down by the court system as infringing on an athletes ability to be paid what they are worth, which has led to what we have now.

I know this doesn't fit into your narrative but the naturalized citizenship pathway takes longer than any presidential term. Especially if you go the visa - > green card route which is fairly typical and you've got the have money to pay for everything that comes up.

I don't mind all the requirements per say but the timelines have been screwed up for 30 years or so. Even longer if you were Asian trying to immigrate before 1965.
