Jahidi is the man and his twin boys with scholarship offers as soon to be sophomores are similarly great! Chaminade guys have to stick together (obviously Jahidi was not, but the twins are). I like that it feels like some folks on here have had some drinks, makes for lively discussion. As my wife’s favorite uncle says (and he is 70+ still living that life in FL), drunk talk don’t count.

David Muoka is still out there. Doesn’t have the upside of the the other two, but is a nice player. He would give you solid minutes on both ends. He would be a plus defender in the A10. Probably nothing spectacular, but he would fill a hole on this team very nicely. I’m sure the staff has been in contact with him. There just aren’t really any other likely immediately eligible bigs out there right now that would move the needle talent wise.

But those who aren’t drinking can’t weigh in on our aggressive swings positive and negative. Maybe a game thread and a drunk game thread where we just let it rip and we’ll all be best friends at the end of every game. I’m super pumped for the season!

Jahidi was a top 10 recruit. Jahidi told Spoon and his staff he would be committing to the Billikens. He would be the biggest SLU recruit ever. In the hat ceremony when announcing schools Jahidi lingered on the SLU hat, touched it, then picked up the Georgetown hat and put it on. He still readily admits he was ready to pick SLU right up until that moment but felt the pressure and picked the Big East school. He was consistently in Coach Thompson's doghouse at Georgetown. Even in his best year he played 20 minutes a game. People think he was a star at Georgetown because he was drafted. He wasn't. He didn't start till he was JR. Goergetown's teams after his freshman year were not that good either. Could have had his freshman year with Claggs, H, & Highmark, brought Carrawell and Woods along and played with Hughes and Co his senior year. He picks our hat we have minimum 2 sweet sixteens with Spoon. Complete and utter tool. If anything he owes us and his kids should be obligated to play for us to right his wrong.

TheChosenOne Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I had no idea! But we won’t bring that story up again until after his twin sons commit to a college! I had idea the commitment story nor that he was that level of recruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes him a perfect fit to our international roster. He was the Southern Conference DOY his sophomore year, so that is something. And really, if you want O or D from your 5, I'm taking D with the other scorers we have. I assume he has graduated, as this transfer will be his third. We certainly don't want two players needing third time waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dandridge comes here I’d feel it as completely transactional. “Ok transfer for hire, we paid up now I want 10 pts and 3 blocks tonight.

Taj79 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Love him or hate him, Lane Kiffin today at SEC media day called it what it is ..... pay for play. Pay to enroll. Professional college sports. It has nothing to do with making money off your name, image and likeness which was the original intent. Play. People buy your jersey number. You get paid. Around the Horn had a clip on it and all four panelists ---- Plaschke, Johnson, Cowleshaw, and Dennis, Jr. agreed ---- it is pay for play. Glad to see folks are recognizibng this farce for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see folks are recognizibng this farce for what it is. He’s right. I was all for a college athlete doing a local restaurant commercial for a nice payday or selling autographed pictures on social media for a few bucks but what it has become is ridiculous and it’s going to destroy college sports. The NCAA has nobody to blame but themselves. They have been picking the wrong battles and playing favorites for years. Now they roll this NIL “plan” out with absolutely zero thought about what was going to happen. It’s mind blowing how stupid and corrupt the NCAA is.

Taj79 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 One of the main comments yesterday about Kiffin on the show was "don't shoot the messenger." Of course, it's funny to hear this guy complain but if you ignore the 'who" and concentrate on the "what was said" it is right on as I've been saying for quite a while.
