  1. He made 365k a year at Indiana State, Saint Louis is paying him 2 million per year. So yeah, the pay is that much better. Indiana State did offer him a raise, but the highest they got was 850k.
  2. I know we live in a new basketball reality, but not once playing consecutive years with the same team for his entire college and high school career still feels like a red flag.
  3. USA basketball basically begged those old guys to come back, because all those young guys you listed minus Chet were on the last world championships team that got their asses kicked. I’m not going to bash the OGs for simply saying yes. If the young guys want to take over, then they should be better.
  4. Slovenia hasn’t qualified for the Olympics yet, and they’re not a lock to either. Now that Dragic has retired, that team is Luka and a bunch of spares. Serbia is dangerous though, if they get everyone to play, that team is more than just Jokic. That’s two guys. Add Embiid to the Timberwolves and they would struggle to start all 3. Especially since Gobert isn’t versatile at all.
  5. All 3 of those guys can’t play at the same time, Embiid made the right choice with regards to fit. Im fine with the team, but I don’t understand why they didn’t have a tryout phase. They usually have a minicamp of some sort before they finalize the roster.
  6. It works out sometimes. Omenihu was as big of a vocal peer recruiter as I can remember, and he over-performed and is now an impact player in the NFL.
  7. That’s fine. It’s still stupid to compare him to Horton and Onyema. I don’t think transfer portal rankings are the greatest, but they’re good to look back on to remember expectations Horton was a late desperate take who remained unranked even after we signed him, Onyema was a mid 3-star. Even the ISU guys are coming in with more expectations than that.
  8. Tramon Mark was Arkansas’ leading scorer and is a top 25 transfer, no idea why you guys are comparing him to Horton and Onyema.
  9. It’s only negative if we do nothing to replace him. There are better options in the portal. I appreciated Mitchell’s energy and rebounding, but he often kneecapped our offense.
  10. There was rumored to be a love triangle between Jason Kidd, Toni Braxton, and Jimmy Jackson. If I’m remembering correctly, Braxton went on the radio to promote her album and wouldn’t deny the rumors, so everyone assumed they were true. Kidd and Jackson have always denied it and claimed Braxton did what she did because it was good promo for her album. Jamal Mashburn, who was also on that Mavs team, also says the story wasn’t true, but claims that the rumors gained so much steam that they did in fact hurt the locker room and helped lead to the breakup of that team The Spurs one, Tony Parker just slept with Brent Barry’s wife.
  11. Only 23 minutes per game, but he led the country in usage rate during those. This is a guy I’d be worried about fitting in. He’s gonna have to be willing to buy into a much smaller role with Beard.
  12. Y’all are talking about message board rumors with a weirdly high degree of certainty.
  13. Ignoring how your response is a complete non-sequitur to mine. You do realize that Weaver also came from a team that didn’t make the NCAA tournament right? You aren’t making a coherent argument at all.
  14. Well, this is not football, so that’s not a thing. But also, many of the best transfers come from non-power conferences. And more importantly, Larry is a guy I think can play well alongside volume scorers. We just landed Arkansas’ leading scorer, I think it’s a good fit.
