  1. No he hasn’t announced, he’s still choosing and we’re still in pursuit. That’s why I said trying. I just meant if Abmas was transferring, we could’ve had a shot, but we’d have to choose who to prioritize between him or Carr because they obviously wouldn’t both come.
  2. Would’ve had a better shot at Abmas if he had decided to transfer, and that’s only if we took him instead of trying to take Carr.
  3. Update: Both Abmas and Obanor are withdrawing from the draft. Abmas, I think is staying at ORU, not sure he ever entered the portal. Obanor is in the portal and sounds like he’s leaving.
  4. Yea, he just announced it. Now I’m trying to figure out what the two Oral Roberts kids are going to do.
  5. Teams who work the portal are going to need to keep 1 spot available until the NBA draft withdrawal deadline happens. A lot of good players like Bagley are just now really exploring the transfer market.
  6. The NCAA had plenty of chances to do this, but they are a useless, leaderless organization.
  7. It’s ridiculous. We have every tool available to dominate this brand new world and it looks like we simply are just choosing not to.
  8. Oh no, the horror. You’re assuming people didn’t know that this would be the outcome. Plenty of people knew, they just didn’t care, because not everyone has the same emotional attachment to the idea of “amateurism” as you do. And even many that did know that the ideal model of amateurism actually died a long time ago. You said it yourself, it was all just a veneer. You think Miami wasn’t paying players before this? The only thing that’s changed is that it’s now harder for you to lie to yourself about it.
  9. IT being gun-shy about every recruit after whiffing so hard on Banks is no surprise. Good or bad, I’m not much interested in their percentages either way.
  10. Every recent champion has had a roster filled with guys who got paid, it’s laughably naive to think otherwise.
  11. Xavion Brice committed to OU btw. One of our secondary options at DB.
  12. How, at this point, can you possibly think it wasn’t our 9.95ers who were bullshitting. They clearly didn’t know anything about this recruitment.
  13. They should be embarrassed, but I’m not sure they’re capable of feeling that emotion.
  14. I’ve largely ignored silent commitments for years, but specifically for this cycle, everyone should’ve ignored it after Jacoby Mathews was considered a silent. What a meaningless croc of shit that was.
  15. After the last two days, there’s little chance any of our 9.95ers are going to be confident about this.
  16. The real problem imo is the staff may have told Jacob Sexton we didn’t have a spot because they thought Williams was in. They are too overconfident and it’s fucking shit up. It also makes most 9.95 reports useless since those are mostly sourced from staff.
  17. Thought Notre Dame was the consensus on him?
  18. Are we gonna be stuck with a Cam Williams thread title all weekend now?
