  1. Remember also that Worthy didn't run high school track again after his sophomore year due to covid and graduating early his senior year. So who knows what he would've run as high school junior or senior.
  2. The contract shenanigans are compounding. They routinely wait too long and pay top of the market prices for their most of expensive players, thereby exacerbating the issue for each successful star as they hit the the end of their rookie deal. Dak could've easily been finishing up his $25 to $32 million/yr deal in the past year or so. Or they could've already renegotiated a deal at a much lower price than they're going to currently sign him for if they decide to. They've already added $10 to $15 million in guaranteed money to Ceede by simply waiting these last 3 months. They're either a foolishly run franchise or they have other perogatives that they're governed by, ie:
  3. I took it as him saying that for him the Mavs were the easy option, he loves the team staff, players etc… it was any easy situation. Going to the Lakers was forcing himself to do the uncomfortable thing that might make him stronger. But to each its own.
  4. Why do people even bring up Sark's time at USC? He was there for only 18 games while USC was still overcoming NCAA penalties. He wasn't there long enough to even make a judgement on his time there.
  5. By shit I assume you mean referring to decision making process between the Lakers and Mavs as choosing his Dad over his Mom.
  6. Full on Idiocrazy.

    Every other Mckelroy drop back in that game ended up with him on his back. Yall only had 11 official passing attempts for the game yet he was sacked 5 times. The Bama OL was getting destroyed by our pass rush. Had Bama ever been put into a situation where they had to pass the ball (ie Colt playing puts more pressure on your offense, hence the out of character fake punt by Bama to start the game) Mckelroy and the Bama passing attack wouldve been in trouble. Gilbert's numerous turnovers to start the game put our smaller defense on the field for far too long and they couldnt hold up. Styles make fights and without Colt the style of the game turned into a style we couldn't compete in. A shootout would've made for a different style game, thus a different fight.
  8. Flagg is the consensus #1 recruit among all services. Williamson was 5th in the composite rankings in 2018, so no, he wasn't near as hyped as Flagg irrespective of where he was ranked with ESPN.
  9. I don't remember Zion being as hyped as Flagg out of high school. If memory serves me right Zion wasn't even the #1 player in his class. HIs actual play at Duke is really what got the hype train rolling. In fact I think Between him, Barrett, and Reddish, Zion may have been the lowest ranked.
  10. We traded back (drafted Shane Larkin) to save cap space for for yet another futile free agency attempt for the umpteenth time under Cuban. That season's target was Dwight Howard. Donnie's flaw was he only really had interest in directing his energies towards evaluating foreign talent. And foreign talent wasn't as fully optimized back then as it is now so there were a lot of misses.
  11. Cuban's role diminishing is a big part of the solution as well. His total abdication of the draft for much of his time at the helm was a big part of why we only got to 1 NBA Final during Dirk's peak years 2005-2008. As a result we never had any tradeable assets to build around Dirk when he was arguably the best player in the league (2006, 2007, and 2008). Getting to the finals and winning it in 2011 was an absolute miracle, but Dirk's career in Dallas was completely mismanaged. Now we see what having actual young assets on the roster can do for us in building a complete roster. And to think we did all this while still mismanaging Brunson who was another asset we could've further enriched itself with by trading.
  12. You're essentially trading him for THJ. What's not to like about it?

    Is all Longhorn paraphernalia for sale now going to be adorned with that gaudy ass SEC emblem? Or can we still get items without that shit?
  14. We were top 40 in the nation in assists per field goals made last year with a team that didn't really shoot a lot of drive and kick threes. That stat and the lack of 3pters as a percentage of shots made doesnt really reflect an iso based system. We got a lot of assists off of backdoors and movement based cuts. This isn't the NBA, quit holding college players to NBA standards and you'll be much happier.
  15. But some programs have attacked the portal in huge numbers. As mentioned above, Florida State managed to climb to 7th in SP+ (and higher in the polls) before Travis got hurt. And Ole Miss, a team even more reliant on transfers (almost 50 in the last two cycles), finished 12th in SP+. SCHOOLBCR WITH TRANSFERS Ohio State 86% Alabama 82% Georgia 77% Oregon 71% Texas 70% LSU 66% Clemson 64% Oklahoma 63% Notre Dame 63% Texas A&M 63% Florida 58% Penn State 57% Miami 56% USC 54% Michigan 54% Florida State 53% Florida State is the largest positive mover, by far, when incorporating transfer ratings. The largest fallers are Texas A&M and Oklahoma, who took 40 and 30 transfers in the last two years, respectively, most of which were not high-end players.
  16. Speaking of which, Bud Elliot put out his blue chip ratio. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/blue-chip-ratio-2024-these-16-college-football-teams-can-actually-win-the-national-championship/ Enough talk, show me the list SCHOOLBCR Ohio State 90% Alabama 88% Georgia 80% Texas A&M 79% Oregon 76% Oklahoma 73% Texas 72% LSU 70% Notre Dame 67% Clemson 64% Florida 63% Miami 61% Penn State 61% USC 59% Michigan 56% Auburn 53% He starts discussing it at about the 32:40 mark.
  17. Yep, especially with the dismantling of public schools part. One thing that struck me when I first lived in Louisiana to work in my early 20s was how so many of my coworkers went to private schools from elementary through their high school years. Growing up in Texas, I always associated private school with rich kids, because, for the most, the private schools I was aware growing up in DFW were of the 20 to 30k a year variety. But after working their for a number of years it was clear that most of those private schools were just there for segregation purposes and the fact that Louisiana didn't fund their public schools for shit. A lot of the Louisiana private schools were nominal in their tuition cost and functioned as little more than day care centers.
  18. Perk gets a bad rep for supposedly bad mouthing Luka, but I've seen Perk big up Luka just as often as I've seen him criticizing Luka.
  19. I believe his Dad came DFW to help setup and eventually be a general manager for a car dealership before changing careers.
  20. He was in Frisco from like kindergarten or 1st grade through 10 or 11th. Then he went to one of those basketball prep schools (Findlay same school as Cory Joseph and Myck Kabongo), but his family has always remained in Frisco. So DFW has been home since he was 5 or 6 years old.
  21. Green card holders and permanent residents pay taxes as well. You don't have to be a citizen to be required to pay federal taxes.
