They would probably have learned how to make iPhones.

I think they would have been Xiphones. [emoji39]

It would be a BiPhone after they dropped the soap the first time!

UCLA down 3 in OT to Central Arkansas in their first game stateside.

Someone posted earlier that the rumor was only one of the kids stole something. In their press conference, seems they each admitted to, and apologized for, stealing. Also took the time to finally thank Trump after he publically shamed them for failing to do so

I wonder how trust they regained as a result of the overtime win against Central Arkansas?

Pretty crazy to read the story from Yahoo of the former college athlete stuck in jail over there for a crime he didn't commit. Guess it all depends on how well known you are.

seems Gelo's dad, and the man after whom @Peacone36 has patterned his life, has pulled him from UCLA without ever having played a second.

Worth it, Alford?

I'm waiting for a "LaMelo Ball Commits to USC" headline to come through.

They won't be going to college if the UNCAA has any credibility they'll .... on second thought, yeah they'll be going to college.

Even better. Gelo is going to BBB-school.

Ball told ESPN he hasn't decided where LiAngelo will play this season.

"I'm going to make him way better for the draft than UCLA ever could have," he said.

"He's not transferring to another school," he told ESPN. "The plan is now to get Gelo ready for the NBA draft."

"I'm not sitting back and waiting," LaVar Ball told ESPN. "He wasn't punished this bad in China."

"We get back over here and the consequences were even stiffer than China. So basically they're in jail here."

LaVar Ball said earlier Monday that he hadn't informed the UCLA coaching staff that he is pulling LiAngelo.

"I haven't told any of those guys,"Lavar told ESPN. "They didn't tell me anything, so why am I gonna tell them."

As part of their indefinite suspensions, the players haven't been allowed to suit up, practice or travel with the Bruins.

"They had him there just to use the Ball family name. They were going to keep the best shooter on the team coming off the bench? That's like telling the Clippers back in the day not to play JJ Redick," LaVar Ball said.

FYI I pulled out the good quotes so that folks don't have to give the URL a "click".

Just proof of the entitlement attitude of the dad.
Obviously no real intent to get a college degree. What a waste of a scholarship...

Wrap it up @CuseJacket

We're done here.

Looks like LaVar can still play “pick-up Ball.” (rim shot!)

 

[YlJacket]

There is a burgeoning pro league in China that I expect will have open arms for him to come get NBA draft ready

Just another case that proves if you recruit kids that the world knows are bad, you get what you get. (Alabama, take note. your time is nigh)

Would you include the Poole brothers in that group?

 

[mstranahan]

I would

Me too. But we were pretty happy when the staff signed them. Of course, that went south pretty quick. Just affirms your post.
