Not surprising a Billiken fan message board would have folks who still consume local news. Hope your breakfast at the Gatesworth was good this morning.

-the oatmeal was lacking in raisins but I'm hoping for an extra scoop of sherbet at lunch

I wonder what Mr. Dandridge's idea of soon is..?.

Is it after he visits Michigan or wherever on the 28th .  Is he just going to show up on a campus when school starts???   

Do we have anyone visiting next weekend?

Is Dandridge planning on visiting Michigan this weekend (looks like the quiet period runs from Friday, July 28th through Saturday, August 5th)? Not knowing the team's schedule, I would imagine they are only around a few more weeks before heading home for a bit before returning for the fall semester, so it would seem unlikely he spends much time at his future home before the fall semester.

Looks like the big transfer that’s not going to be coming to memphis anymore is related to Teafale Lenard Jr (a guard) and not the big man. Good news I guess.

Trilly has a new site. Should be a great CBB read. His first story is half about Dandrige and the strangeness of his recruiting. 
 

Everything about his recruitment screams “pass.”

Seems like at this point it should be:

Another day has passed in the Dandridge drama... just curious , would anyone be surprised if he ended up at North Texas?

Someone posted the other week about the current dead period running through today, so Dandridge likely taking a visit or visits (Michigan or West Virginia presumably) this weekend/next week. With the next dead period running from August 6th-20th, the next week will seemingly be his last opportunity to visit schools before the school year starts. This has been a strange one.

Seems like the first documented holdout by the first mediocre player for mo' money.  I can't wait to trach his controibutions .... no matter where he lands.

Eventually some desperate team will just slap the franchise tag on him.

Nothing out there about Dandridge, visiting anywhere.  

West Virginia , was rumored to have contacted him, got a commitment from a forward from Israel, this is after also getting the commitment from Quinn Slazinski. Both have committed since July 19..

Maybe Malcom will decide something soon...

i wish he would tell us no so us billiken mbm's would quit talking about the losers.

According to Verbal Commits, two-time tool Davion Bradford has not committed. We're desperate, he's probably desperate - could be a match made in heaven. Although, he's a two-time transfer, so I guess he would likely have to sit out?

i think i would rather be stuck with bradford than dandridge.   dandridge reneging on the billikens multiple times ended my want for him coming here.

This guy apparently hit the portal as a grad transfer. Played at Georgia also and from KC.

Better than Dandridge. He just graduated over the summer so hes immediately eligible. Assuming he is looking to go back up to a P5 level, even though he saw success at MoState.

Have you seen Bradford play? Slower than old horse walking uphill and about same vertical leap as the horse. That’s a desperation signee. Pass.

Yes, I have, he was pretty good as a freshman in the Big 12, but has sucked since and is a tool... and yes, we are desperate at this point. My guess, the most likely outcome is we roll the dice with an obscure foreign big.

Saw some WF fans mentioning he was one of the best rim protectors in the ACC.

im ready to go all guards.   wth.   if we are going to suck, at least have some fun.   run, gun, press all over the floor.   maybe the tulsa kid can get some rebounds.   if i recall, LaSalle made it to the sweet 16 doing this.  a sweet 16 run would be the bests the billikens have done since easy ed.   

if we arent brave enough to go that extreme, go with freshmen bigs and just let em play and tell them to play agressive.   a lot of fouls to give.   and one would think with their size they can get some rebounds and put backs.  

just dont bring in a chemistry killer.   and i now believe that is exactly what dandridge would be.

Dalger is a good rebounder...
