I can’t offer much else besides another data point. Mine is IN STATE, so it’s not unique to you out of staters. Just a lowly 34 ACT and 1500+ SAT (I forget the actual). Basketball and band. From my interactions with admissions through the transfer process, it seems like volunteer and leadership...

I could read that another way... the guy following the rules just wants everyone to follow the rules too. If current rules aren’t enforceable (or won’t be enforced) make rules that are enforceable / enforced. I think it’s a commentary on how the current state of college sports is to arbitrarily...

I think you’ve missed context. In response to the “recruiting is EVERYTHING” crowd I noted that Richt almost exclusively landed in the “Top 5” of recruiting annually (whatever that means) but rarely finished an actual season ranked so highly.

I don’t disagree that confidence has a lot to do with it. We are missing makable shots, but I think we are also taking bad / contested shots. If Pastner really believes that we are getting the right looks and just missing shots, then the entire week of practice ought to be devoted to “seeing the...

Shooting was awful... particularly FT shooting. we obviously aren’t good shooters, but we also don’t get good shots. We got to the line tonight... so much for that! when you miss more FT than you make, you won’t be very successful. No excuse for that. None. If we hit even a respectable number...

We griped about the same topic in the ND game thread. We don’t get to the line because we don’t challenge the D. We also don’t get offensive rebounds, which are almost guaranteed baskets or FT attempts. I thought it was a great sign when our first possession was an offensive board that resulted...

I’ll like him even better if he’s right. :D

What I heard from DRad just now: “Look, I have no idea who I’m going to get to lead this program. I also had no idea that anyone would be interested in taking you off of our hands. You caught me with my pants down! There has to be a catch, but I don’t see it yet. Let’s just stay buddies...

You're right that we are losing opportunities at the FT line, but, Our problem is twofold... We are upper middle of the pack when it comes to committing fouls... not great, not bad. We’re bottom third of the pack on opponent FTA. Tells me we are fouling a lot of shooters. We don’t get to the...

Are you saying that walk ons won't be allowed, or that every walk on making a roster spot needs to be put on scholarship? I don't think the notion of "scholarship" even matters at this point. the scholarship limit was simply a mechanism to try to control how many kids they would pay to come...

There had to be more to that. Anyone know? The interest from the other school was overblown if not a total fairy tale?? it didn’t add up. The writing was on the wall and we had a get out of jail free card staring us in the face. Why on earth would we double down on what had proved to be an...

I agree. If I had a program that could find the NIL funding, I’d load my top 15-20 kids with NIL deals that included tuition, room and board. Save the schollies for the next 85 kids. I’ve made this claim every time someone offers scholarship limits as a possible solution / leveling of the...

They certainly out white and golded us!

I'm with you. The way we run this, we don't spread the D at all. The wings are low and are not a threat. They are mostly stationary, waiting for a kick out. Wing defenders can sag, but don't really have to "help" on the drive because we never move the 5 or either guard out of the center of...

I’ve been totally on then periphery of all of this but I chuckle everytime someone mentions scholarship limits (or reductions) as a penalty. Given what we’ve seen so far, scholarships are about irrelevant.... especially to factories. If I were them, I’d start by taking your top 20 guys and...

Initially it seems it worked out really well for Lville... I hate to see it since it’s likely to hurt Purdue and also immediately upgrades one of Tech’s annual opponents. :confused:

Got it... thanks. That wasn't my link. It was provided in response to someone asking for an easy official list of who is coming and going... hence my confusion. I'm glad he's still not in there. Hopefully that means no one outside of GT is filling his head with fantastical stories of life...

I agree with this, especially since Key isn't coming in cold. I was picking on the notion that it's OK for Deion and moreso that its an option we didn't have. By no means a private conversation..... but for some reason I target @JacketFan137 a lot. That guy is either 100% right or 100% wrong...

So McCollum is in the portal?!? Why wasn’t I notified?!? I thought he didn’t go through with it… Was that fake news?

Feeling conspiratorial this morning? It’s a legit question… You assert that it’s OK for Deion to tell all of the current players to hit the portal because he’s bringing new guys. You say it’s honest / honorable position for him to take and moreover, that he is able to do it because people want...
