  1. They’re former high school teammates.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. I was going to write out a longer response to that, but this is really all that needs to be said.
  6. This will result in coaches not wanting their players GPA to be too high and purposefully limiting their hours.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. That would require Gerry to take the word of the kid without ever checking with anyone on the staff. That would be astronomically stupid.
  11. 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.
  12. Even if they were all EDGEs, we were pursuing Shelby and Vasek, toss Vasek out not Shelby.
  13. If he’s talking about just him, then these are the players Gerry has predictions to Texas on: Jalen Hale Hunter Osborne (likely outdated) Malik Muhammad (committing tonight) Braylan Shelby Derion Gullete Cedric Baxter Jr. Mikal Harrison-Pilot Jordan Matthews Colton Vasek So someone other than these guys is about to commit soon
  14. My immediate guess was Akana since a Utah mod recently said he’d be shocked if he didn’t end up at Texas.
  15. Yeah, his decrease got split into two different adjustments for some reason. I know it doesn’t actually matter much, but it still annoys me for whatever reason.
  16. Overall, On3’s update did fuck us over though. Derek Williams lost his 5th star in the composite and Cook just barely held on to his, he’s the lowest ranked 5-star there is now. Not that anyone here didn’t already know, but BOMC is such laughable aggy confirmation bias, any evidence that refutes it just gets ignored.
  17. That 73 is his on3 consensus ranking (their equivalent of the 247 composite) not his previous on3 ranking. His previous on3 ranking was actually 138, they’ve always been lower on him than the other sites.
  18. What are you looking at? Hale did not drop 72 spots.
