It is obvious I think this is a PR nightmare for recruiting just as top players are starting to pare their lists back, but I have to give credit that PJ Hall did announce us in his top 5 just after this dropped.

Having been deposed several times - and more importantly having been prepared by lawyers to be deposed several times - that is the key thing they keep pounding into your head. Make your answers short and very specific to what is being asked. Don't elaborate. And if you don't know say so. As...

The ability to have sufficient resources to hire a legit staff. We don't have that. Until we do - we don't. And until we do CJP gets every chance to prove he can put a legit ACC team on the court - whether it be via transfers or HS or pulling kids out of the stands. In reality, even if the...

I think you would be surprised at the recruits who have a view of CJP due to the record and the number or articles out there already. It is a hard ask to get them to look at Red's analysis that says CJP has at least 2 more years or that all this Ron Bell nonsense is indeed nonsense. I know one...

Hard to tell if the slant the article uses that Pastner tried to hide/shade things is legit or not. Regardless - 2 things are reasonably clear to me 1) Stansbury won't want to hire a new BB coach right now even if he could fire CJP for cause. He can't get the level of coach the program...

The gift that just keeps on giving :punch: :(

The NCAA lost badly in court when they tried to limit assistant coach's salaries. That was simply trying to set a limit for schools to implement in their contract discussions with assistants. Trying to reach back and grab salary that has already been paid to a coach as some sort of a fine is...

They are supposedly going to put him in the supermax in Colorado. Just a bit more difficult to tunnel in and out or set up a limo service pickup.

While expansion has brought in some really good programs to the ACC (Syracuse, LV, etc.), it is hard to quantify the absolute meat grinder that the ACC was during Cremins' time. Outside of maybe Clemson there really wasn't a bottom dweller program - and even Clemson wasn't really bad. Hall of...

This program desperately needs the buzz of winning enough to get to the bubble and then be in the bubble discussion. For recruiting, tickets and just feeling good about itself. Winning a game in the tourney is gravy. Happy to take it but we need the ride first.

Fascinating article. Combined with the other article about finances at GT, leaves me in a big funk this AM. Reality sucks. The optimistic scenario is we get waivers and this year's team is pretty good (I think it will be) and we find a bell cow recruit that breaks the damn for HS recruiting...

Colin Cowherd just spent a segment with Gottlieb highlighting the article about the impact of the NBA on 18 year old bodies. Yes I know I need to duck having started with those 2. They also included K's comments that Zion wasn't ready to play in the summer league and should have been held out...

Stole this from another site but it goes to whether there is "value" in having young players spend time in college rather than going straight to the NBA. In reality there are a lot of shades of gray as not many players go straight to playing heavy minutes in every NBA game (most don't) but it...

Could be wrong but Bennett seems enough old school enough to not put up with shoe companies ruining a good thing for him. Nor do I think he needs the help for who he is recruiting. And I don't think shoe money - or at least very much shoe money - filters its way down to number 30.

Here is one example of rubber meeting road. Ex GT recruit and heartbreaker Sharriff Abdur-Rahim's son is graduating HS and is a top 30 player needing to make a decision to go to college or straight to the G League. FYI Sharriff is the President of the G-League. Instead of going with his dad...

I'm not. I still have nightmares about the def bods professor just in from Greece to do a research project who opened the book at the start of class and started to read in very broken Greco pseudo English. I couldn't drop and graduate "on plan" so I had to go teach myself the course. Almost...

Yea - I was trying to sort through "stretch the floor" and "similar to Ish" in the same thought but figured I would just let it hang out there. But I do agree that Usher fits a 4 out system better than Moses if CJP is hanging on to that. With Moses we need to look like UVA. But in reality we...

The better get a lot of player improvement if they want to run Dolezaj at the 5. I still remember AD lighting him up and Boeheim subbing Chukwu as fast as he could. He needs 20+ lbs to play there all year and he really doesn't have the length or mindset for it. When you really extend the zone...

Damn I need to add another smiley face :D And I actually agreed with you (y)

Your staff??? What's that - you and the cleaning lady? :p :cool: BTW I am closer to you than the N&O unless Parham gets the wavier
