  1. Look at that date again, Thomasson committed to them a year ago.
  2. I honestly don’t know how some of you survive as adults when you shit your pants at the first sign of any adversity. We weren’t going to land every single player we wanted, championship teams don’t even do that, much less 5-7 ones.
  3. Hill made sense for aggy, Hicks honestly doesn’t. All of those guys they signed last year at DL, everybody is not going to be playing the amount that they want. That’s a boon for Okie because the Hicks fam doesn’t like our scheme.
  4. This one isn’t much of a surprise. Bowen has been considered a soft commit to ND for quite some time now, and Oklahoma and aggy have been his two most likely destinations for a while.
  5. He dropped from #1 to #2, it’s not that serious. And as shitty as ESPN recruiting has become, I’d still take them over Rivals.
  6. How many of those top 100 guys ever did shit here? Mater Dei is largely a USC feeder school, I’m not turning down a top player now for the slim chance of a top player in the future. I’d like to keep Shannon, but if landing Duce causes him to leave, then that’s fine with me.
  7. Well, he could’ve just spoken to him. And maybe he tried, we won’t know until Gerry responds. But your proposed problem isn’t much of a problem, these guys talk to kids like Kirkland for a living.
  8. The kid was definitely doing way too much, he went so overboard trying to hide his intentions and it’s just not that important. If he needs this much attention now, I can easily see him publicly wavering on his commitment for more attention in the near future.
  9. He looks like an alien who put on a mask of an actual human face to try and blend in, but the face mask doesn’t fit on well.
  10. I was going to write out a longer response to that, but this is really all that needs to be said.
  11. This will result in coaches not wanting their players GPA to be too high and purposefully limiting their hours.
  12. Ratings are never going to be the same as 30 years ago, the way we consume media has changed way too much. 30 years ago there was no streaming and the games were all on network television. Everything is split up now, but the overall money is obviously way bigger than in 1992 (and yes that’s obviously adjusted for inflation and all of that). I don’t like this proposed new transfer rule either, but people have been saying the same alarmist bullshit you’re saying for decades now. It never actually happens.
  13. What is this opinion based on? Ratings took a dip during the pandemic (like everything else not named the NFL did) but rebounded right back to pre-pandemic levels this past year. The best college basketball players were gone after a year anyways, this rule will affect them the least. G-League Ignite and Overtime Elite players are getting paid a lot for minor league basketball. The absolute best will always get paid.
  14. Since when has the NCAA ever made preemptive moves on this type of stuff though? Usually they just get dragged kicking and screaming by the courts
  15. That would require Gerry to take the word of the kid without ever checking with anyone on the staff. That would be astronomically stupid.
  16. The kid is definitely doing too much. I don’t want to lose the plot of the day, a player much better than Kirkland is committing in less than two hours.
