Still a great donation, but not nearly as good as it sounded at first.

I say that our five best players should be on the floor and get most of the playing time regardless of who they are in our Elite 8 game.

I wonder if that is for football and basketball or did it say it was just for their basketball program? Also, was it a yearly donation of $25m or a one time donation that will have to be spread over several years.

Yes. Usually when the girl excused herself to go to the bathroom and then didn't come back. So, I totally see what you are saying.

Toward the end of last season, Thames showed an ability to drive into the lane and then pull up over a big to hit a ten foot shot. I hope Schertz sees that when reviewing film and encourages that aspect of his game. If so, and if he improves his three point shooting, I think Thames could have a big breakout season.

Why would we invite Turnbull to come to campus, give him a tour, and then tell him we are not interested? That makes no sense. I know everyone wants to think we can do no wrong right now, but I have to think he turned us down.

So who is next up on the commitment watch? Turnbull? Someone else?

I thought the same thing, but this year it was only a broken foot. Usually, that's not much of a concern.

Agree. I would think that he could have gotten more to stay here, unless we had reason to tell him he wasn't wanted here anymore. Also strange than another bigger program than McNeese State didn't take a chance on him. Hell, I would think one of the programs who he hung 30 on in the A-10 would have paid him a little more than he's probably getting at NcNeese State.

Wanna bump the thread and keep it going. Welcome Amari!!

Exactly how many quad one teams do you think are gonna be willing to play us? Scheduling is always been a problem. We shouldn’t be turning down games just because they might not be quad one.

Hopefully, we are in a soft part of our schedule while they get healthy.

I think I saw on Twitter that it is Hailey Van Lith. If that is correct, and she's the Hailey Van Lith I'm seeing online, she averaged 11.6 points per game at LSU last season. Can that be right? EDIT - Looking again, the post I saw was from the Midtown Madness Podcast. Not sure if it was a blue ink style post.

I agree that the argument that it would take away from the competition is ridiculous. College football and basketball is already a lesser product from a talent standpoint than the NFL or NBA. We still love watching it even though it is lesser talent. If we lowered the talent level further by making sure that it was only for those wanting to go to college, it would not lessen our passion or our level of enjoyment as long as parity and good competition remained.
