Well I mean there are 5* guys and there are other, better 5* guys aren't there? Mizzou's had a couple 5* guys over the years but Michael Porter Jr was still easily the best single recruit they'd ever gotten last year.

I know nothing about this particular UT recruit. And I don't wish him any ill by mentioning MPJ in this post, I feel like his college 'career' is a uniquely Missouri thing to have happen.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
You know for all the people locally and in NCAA Tournament gameday threads who call for Sean Miller to be fired, he's done a pretty drat good job with the 2019 class even with an FBI investigation hanging over his head.

If it helps any I always just wanted him fired because I find him annoying and disingenuous even by college basketball coach standards and he's successful enough to bug me. So I want him to go away.

Not that I wouldn't try to lord it over Kansas fans mercilessly if they get popped in some meaningful way but everything with the FBI stuff just seems like business as usual to me.

This is a perfectly valid reason to want him gone! I just am more posting at the people who think he's bad at his job.

I like to think that no one around Enfield just thought to pull up youtube and play the Dunk City video from that tournament run and just sit there. Then say, that's going to be you.

Corrected that and the recruits are just rolling in.

It's not but they have had serious recruiting problems until recently for a longgg time.

They seem to be pulling the guys that normally UCLA pulls (and wastes) now.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I am torn. On the one hand, I want players to get paid, on the other, I want the a whole bunch of blue bloods, and really the whole NCAA system to fall apart. I guess if the NCAA falls apart, kids can go get paid in the NBA G league, so I guess it works out.

NC State signed five-star guard Jalen Lecque, who is one-and-done if he even ends up on campus at all. Still the biggest signing for Keatts so far. No word yet how much he cost.

The problem with this is the NCAA is popular enough/generates enough money to be able to support paying players, although they'll swear up and down this isn't the case. If you eliminated college basketball I don't think many people would switch over and watch the G league even if it expanded enough to take on all of the good but no chance of an NBA career guys.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the schools Gatto is name dropping are mostly Nike schools.

Yea thats true. The G league will never be popular and is also like 1/20 the size of the NCAA.

Pretty sure the upshot is everyone does shady poo poo, everyone knows about it, and what's falling apart at long last is the NCAA's extremely lucrative commitment to the lie of amateur athletics (at least in revenue sports).

Except Bruce Weber. Dude wouldn't hire his brother in law or some poo poo to try and entice Jon Scheyer to go to Illinois (I think it was Scheyer, this was over 10 years ago). Didn't even want to give the appearance he was doing anything shady, which is good and all, but....he also did a number on the Illini program.

quote:

Not only were the Wildcats awful, but they were also miserable. Bad teams arent necessarily unhappy ones, but hopeless ones are. This wasnt a rebuild. This wasnt a project. There was no optimism, no light at the end of the tunnel. No encouraging signs to cling to, no discernible direction for the program. This was just a terrible team led by, well, a terrible person. Perpetual teenager Kevin ONeill the temper of Bobby Knight, the coaching ability of Isiah Thomas, the bedside manner of a kick in the nuts was in his third and final year at Northwestern, and he pretty much burned the place down. By the time he bolted the following fall, at the last minute, to take a job as a Knicks assistant, the entire program was in shambles. To wit:

Before the season began, ONeills first recruit, Sean Wink, quit. Maybe its because ONeill only ever referred to him as Prick, and once ran down the court alongside him during an actual game screaming Hey! Hey! Hey! gently caress YOU!

Early in the season, his only scholarship senior, Aron Molnar a 6-foot-11 center who weighed about 42 pounds quit the team, too. Maybe its because ONeill routinely referred to him as Cuntasaurus during practices, no matter which reporters or school officials were present.
