Good guy. Enjoyed his commentary. But like Jahmyr Gibbs, he's dead to me now. Geaux Jacquettes. :buzz:

I thought about that before posting. But it's a 68-team field, so the bar is much lower. And does anyone seriously think we're on the verge of a break-out recruiting class and season? :cautious:

Oh, I dunno...maybe because managing people is pretty much the same regardless of the institution. Unless you're a Marine or a Catholic priest. Other than that...

FIFY.

Not because I wanted to. 😉

When you're a perennial Top 25 program with a reputation for being "Point Guard U", then recruiting matters. When you're a cellar dweller with no coaching change in sight, it's hard to get excited about more of the same. 🥱 BB is where FB was a year ago in that we need to make a change at HC...

I wonder if NCSU fans will be logging in here to see what we're saying about FADTS. "Former." The "F" is for "Former". Seriously.

Name a basketball-first school that also has a good football program. Football is the money sport. It feeds all the other mouths on campus. So, if you're in the SEC or B1G, you're gonna have money to buy better basketball, baseball, and volleyball coaches, gyms and players. And for that reason...

I mean that HCBK had "half" a year already. Sure, he coached eight games, but he didn't get to control spring training and the fall practices, etc. So, he's had half a season give or take. Next year will add a full year to his resume; hence, I wanna call next season year 1.5.

World class anything is difficult. And if you've never seen it up close, then you will have a hard time understanding the price you have to pay to achieve that status. IMO, HCBK has put together a coaching staff which has seen what championship caliber play looks like. They know what they're...

OCBF is going to walk into recruits' homes wearing that ring, and he's going to tell them how they will be a part of replicating what he did in Athens at Tech. Kids who don't get offered by the Big Dogs (and some who do) are gonna listen because he's been to the mountain top even if he wasn't...

For reasons we all understand, we had to bet on a long shot. Unfortunately, we did not get a second Bobby Cremins. Consequently, we now need a new coach and a fresh set of downs. Wait... Whatever. You know what I mean.

The good thing about basketball is that we're never more than two players away from being a top 25 team (Price/Salley, anyone?). The bad thing is that unless he surprises me, I no longer believe that Pastner can bring them in. I was hopeful, but that's faded. And I think the recruits know he's...

Just giving another pop culture reference point. And it gives me a chance to mention Sandra Bullock.

There must be a lot of convoluted history regarding these blogs, YouTubes, and fan boards, etc.. Frankly, I can't keep up with who is working for who, etc. I guess if you want to be Colin Cowherd or Mike & Mike someday, you gotta start small and grow your fanbase. Just make sure you have a...

Blind Side.

It is easier to get by on talent alone than it is to have talent and the desire. Your quote from Bear Bryant is apropos.

And for all you Techwood alumni who lived on the courtyard side, never forget: "SOUTH HALL SUCKS!" 😉

A couple more memories for you from a Techwood resident:

We need to out-heart the prima donnas who are expecting to cake-walk their way to the league. Rocky Balboa v Apollo Creed. Talent vs. Heart. (FYI: That's us on the left. 😝)
