    A 6’7” wing who can hit the 3. Another big noted for D. A big PG noted for D. Another foreigner who knows ball.

    If he was good enough for the Beast he’s good enough for the A10.

    I hope so too. But he still needs a backup. In CJS I trust.

    Let’s not overlook Gibby coming home. Basically we got two of the top 50 guys in the portal. I don’t know where Swope stands in the rankings. Of course he hasn’t committed anywhere yet. But if he chooses SLU and Turnbull commits, we have mined the portal successfully.

    Hell, a Deere tractor would be a bargain today.

    According to The Athletics rankings, Avila is 3, Jimerson is 28 and Swope is 31. From what I can tell, they would join Indiana as being the only schools to get 3 players in the top 35 so far.

    I don’t think we’re in any position to whine about our opponents. We haven’t proved anything yet.

    Those guys seemed pretty excited about the game. At first I just heard Pentagon but then went back and caught Sioux Falls. If it is THE REAL PENTAGON we could have ABomb and TajMahal 79 get us tickets.

    All new players should be required to post videos of them dunking over a trash can.

    This upcoming season is the last possible time to use a COVID bonus year.
    I don't disagree that the market has gotten out of control. I still think we're going to see it cool when some of these really high dollar signings don't pan out, or at least don't turn out to be worth high-6 or low-7 figures to the fans who funded the deals.
    I like the endorsement side of NIL. Every time I see a college athlete pop up in an ad, I remember there's no reason we couldn't have had that all along.
    And had they allowed that all along (back before CBB and CFB became multi-billion-dollar industries), it probably would've prevented the out of control super PAC-style unregulated NIL market that we all hate- expensive to compete, devoid of transparency, and chock full of unscrupulous actors.

    I'm talking about NOT recruiting totally inexperienced college players to be.   Imo it's a waste of time we are only going to upgrade them and likely lose them.   Jimmerson is an exception. He already has an established relationship with a big billiken booster, reportedly has a serious relationship with a SLU coed, and has a big time Billiken history that likely provides the billiken a home town discount as well as gives SLU a reason to invest more of their bank as well. I'm I guarantee he is not playing for free.

    Why waste the effort and money on HS players below the top 25 line? They will likely seek new homes after 1 year; eg Medley, Curcic, Zhang, and Bussell. While I didn’t dislike these players and thought there was some potential they really didn’t add much to last season. The focus for every team has to be on the portal. Calipari learned his lesson. Five 5 star FR didn’t do much against 20-21 year old experienced players. NIL and the Portal have created a whole new ball game. I don’t like it as has turned college sports into the professional arena. But you have to play the cards you’ve been dealt, so you learn to play the game.

    UK needs a splash hire. Hurley, no he’s an east Coast guy. Oats fills the bill. But will Bama go down easily? No.Donovan is the guy.
