  1. In the era of the portal, it feels like rosters are just going to be a year-to-year thing. We will be back in the portal again heavily next year.
  2. Holland is the only gut punch that still hurts imo. I don’t think there’s any realistic scenario where Johnson would’ve ended up on campus, he opted out on the idea of school entirely, and fuck Morris and his camp. But the Holland thing hurts, and some people are going to have a hard time getting over that, which I get. We seem to be getting what we want from the portal though and that’s good. It’s going to take some getting used to, but the portal is the most important thing now.
  3. Doing pretty good in the portal.
  4. This was the Dillon Mitchell post made yesterday. All he posted was a picture of him from a game this past season. Then he deleted it.
  5. No he isn’t. Mitchell went to high school entirely in the state of Florida. The other two entirely in the state of Texas.
  6. Holland Is former HS teammates with Anthony Black who is about to be a lottery pick out of Arkansas.
  7. All 5-stars won’t be one and dones, but they all think they will be. And that isn’t any better for us in the era of the transfer portal. Teenagers aren’t introspective. A good amount of the ones who aren’t one and done will blame the school for it before they blame themselves. Im not one of the people who thinks we should entirely stop recruiting 5-stars, but there is an obvious downside. 5-stars are likely to be less patient.
  8. As a Mavs fan, I absolutely hated Shawn Bradley. Now I feel kinda bad about it, given what’s happened to him.
  9. This kid is really really good. He’s about to get paid big.
  10. Woke up to a bunch of replies from Derka and I am not reading all that shit. I’m fine with shit talking on a message board though. It’s what 90% of all message boards are. As for Morris, he can kick rocks. Carr, Hunter and Rice were all better than him last year. I am not going to get mad at the coaching staff for playing their best players. We don’t make that E8 run without those 3 doing their thing. I wish Morris had patience, he would’ve gotten a ton of minutes this year, but most 5 stars aren’t trying to wait for anything these days.
  11. People don’t want to do it, but the sport would be better off if the kids just got paid directly. Then you could treat it like pro sports and have enforceable contracts. NIL is truly the Wild West.
  12. You’re both right, but I thought Holland could be the rare freshman that still makes an impact.
  13. I don’t like being a roller coaster of emotion, it’s a long offseason and season. It’s silly to be reactionary to every single thing. But it’s hard to expect others to be even keel with this one, especially when it’s less than a day after the good Abmas news. This is some Jekyll and Hyde shit.
  14. Ironically, thats exactly what shadow_op was screaming about yesterday. But I ain’t gonna complain about it, this sucks. Especially the timing. If you’re gonna leave, then leave. Why wait this late?
  15. Couldn’t even get 24 hours of happiness 😑.
  16. Recruits decommit after a coaching change, I get that, but I don’t understand the timing at all. He waited really late.
  17. Now that’s legitimately bad. I hope he still gives us a chance like he says, but I don’t think you decommit if that’s really true.
  18. He also was just a Freshman this past year, he’s got 3 years of eligibility left. You can sell him on starting in the future since Abmas is a one year rental.
  19. This kids dad played for Calipari at UMass. If Kentucky is interested, they’d probably have a leg up in this recruitment.
  20. I literally got into it with you last week about the exact same thing before Abmas and Shedrick committed. And I have no interest in re-litigating that with you.
  21. We need another guard and probably a wing. This kid I mentioned the other day from UTA is one kid I know is on the radar. Athletic and a good 3 point shooter.
  22. Read my post and read yours and tell me which one of us is whining right now. Your ability to play victim is mesmerizing. Nobody is demonizing you, they’re just disagreeing with you. Get over it.
  23. Apparently it’s a German name, and that isn’t supposed to be a “b” but a German letter that doesn’t exist in our alphabet called an eszett. An eszett kinda looks like an uppercase “B” though, so somewhere along the line someone just said “fuck it, make it a b” even though it’s not pronounced that way at all.
