Freeman/Wright signed before the Assault blacklisting though once Jeff signed with David Falk. Outside of Trimble and Jalen Smith, not sure there's anyone I would say moved the needle in a positive direction for either program. Top guys will almost always want to leave, other guys are just guys.

Local ties for the Maryland and Georgetown are both very overrated. You can't win for trying. WCAC/Takeover/Team Loaded - they all act like sending kids local is beneath them and the kids feel the same. They would crawl for a Duke or blueblood offer and none of them want to play in the B10...

Deion knows what he's doing. Could always go sideways but it's a potential home run for an FBS team if they hire him and idk how many guys you can say that about. Shadeur is FBS caliber at QB too.

Super impressed with Banchero but ultimate upside likely limited. If C-Webb wasn't an all time passer, maybe. Wherever people have Mark Williams, it's still probably too low. Don't care if all he can do is rim run, be a lob threat and protect the rim - he's elite at those things. I think...

Notre Dame should actually be the blueprint for Miami in some ways. ND was dragging their feet for YEARS about the direction of the program until Kelly got there. Kelly looked under the hood and said X, Y, Z, etc needs to change. And they followed through on doing so. 10 years later and they're...

Hello friends, I'm on the lookout for someone who might be interested in an opportunity working in a research capacity for CBB this season. The team I'm a part of has fallen a little short on help due to some circumstances (aka covid). So.. If you are knowledgeable and passionate about: a)...

dacomeup is right - money for Miami won't be an issue IF Frenk and the administration actually value the program. The money didn't want Richt to retire in the first place, they just wanted his son gone with a revamped staff and he wouldn't do it and then it was just a dumb, quick pivot to Manny...

It’s less about the sport and much more about understanding where (and how big) your edge in the market is when you bet professionally. He was no doubt ahead of the curve with what he did analytically - but I guarantee that edge he held is long gone. So now he wants to give input on draft...

You're telling me DraftExpress got a chance to see Scottie Barnes over the last couple of weeks and thought LESS of him? He's incredible. He's already the leader of that team, he's legitimately their lead ball handler and creator, his compete level is off the charts and his feel for the game is...

Betanysports is now 5Dimes fwiw. Unclear if it's the same ownership but sign up and you'll see the interface/software is exactly the same. Bookmaker, BetOnline and Heritage are the three books I would use the most if you're a US customer. Heritage for reduced juice and BO for openers. If you...

I spent way too much time on here over the years arguing over his basketball merits, and few athletes can evoke those thoughts or emotions on either side. He begrudgingly earned my respect over time, and seeing him continue to evolve and grow as a person, father, friend, husband..that became...

CP reminded me of this thread and thought I'd put a bow on LeBron's CLE return: I can't change anyone's opinion. I'm the original Nick Wright & still would place Jordan #1..for now. And you can still talk me into Kareem placing ahead. But there is going to be a growing case. Jordan had 11 full...

Even without the Little bidding war, They paid Quinerly. And That falls on the HC with new NCAA bylaws. More to come out of that Arizona situation for sure. Book is facing 60 years, who the hell knows what he could say or what he knows. I'd be shocked if Pitino keeps his job and after reading...

I've gone through all the files and cliffs for those who are interested: Louisville set up Bowen with 100K. Were paying someone in the '19 class' mom 5K a month and 'get financed early'. Koprivica? Arizona: Paid 15k for Quinerly. To quote Dawkins - Miller wanted him really ****ing bad. Book...

Miami and Arizona were really bidding 150K ++ for Nas Little. Woo boy.
