[quote]Theres no shame in going to d2,d3, naia, juco. Theres nothing wrong with being a 3 time all American at the d2 level.[/quote] There's also the NCCAA schools, and even at that low of a level those guys are good. I attended Mid-America Christian University in 2005 and we had a former McDo...

10000% Overseas they work on fundamentals Monday through Friday, and then have games on the weekends. Here they only plays games, and as you said it's basically all ISO ball. Hardly any plays are run, ever, in AAU. ...

I'm not kidding, I have seen the same level of hype for Flagg and AJ among draftniks as Wemby. Go look through the threads on the NBA draft subreddit, it's mostly been Flagg conversations lately because of the NBA select team, but there are absolutely people putting them in that tier. There was a hu...

It's not an exaggeration to say that pulling Dybansta puts us in another stratosphere in recruiting. He is being hyped equally to Cooper Flagg, Wemby, Zion, LeBron...that level of prospect. Purely in reference to prospect hype, he's arguably top 30 in the history of the sport, maybe even top 10. He'...

[quote]800k from Cincy is just hard to really fathom. With the right money management that can be life changing money.[/quote] If I put that with the guys who take care of our money, $800k would pay out between $60k and $75k a year in dividends. He would never need to work a day in his life if he...

[quote] That might be True. But my understanding was Bruce was very very outspoken about getting this game in the challenge and even reached out to Scheyer asking him to help get this game scheduled for the challenge[/quote] Yes, that's what I said. Both head coaches campaigned for this game, be...

[quote]Bruce Pearl had to beg for Auburn to get the Duke game. He even called Scheyer to help out. That’s kinda pathetic[/quote] Fwiw, it's my understanding they've wanted this game for the past few years because they are both high major coaches of Jewish background. ...

I can see us running a big lineup of Philon, Reid, Grant, Sherrell, and Omoruyi at times. All depends on how well those first 4 shoot the ball next year. But shortest guy on the floor would be Philon at 6'4. NBA style lineup if they are shooting well. Could swap Grant to the 4, and Stevenson to the ...

[quote]Yeah he left but that’s the nature of today’s game. He was upfront with Oats about wanting to leave from the middle of the season and instead of packing it in he gave his all.[/quote] Him leaving is fine.

It's going to be fricking hilarious when we are pre-season number 1 after Rylan saying "I wanted to play for a true NC contender". NM that Bama was better than Kansas the 2 years he was at Bama, and will be better than them this year. Just admit they paid you a shite ton bruv, and you wanted to le...

[quote]Cooper Flagg hype.[/quote] I don't get it with this guy. Yall ever seen him shoot? it's the weirdest knuckeball I've ever seen. It sometimes doesn't even make 1 full rotation before reaching the basket. It's weird, and it won't work in the long run. ...

Fwiw, I live here, and there is so much stupidity regarding this situation. Because he didn't instantly turn then around, the people who were against him being hired in the first place tried to push him out. They were defeated, but still kept coming. So he resigned because this situation is horrendo...
[quote]They were 1-9, he coached like he was there to live on the lake in the summer[/quote] Not necessarily wrong, but they were terrible before he got here. Won 3 games combined in the 2 years prior. Rebuilds take longer than 1 year, especially with a limited talent pool. ...
I live here. My understanding is that he realized they weren't going to let him do his job. It would be constant fighting and distractions. Which isn't good for the kids, so he decided to finally give in despite winning the vote last week. Some members of the community have this one completely w...
