Keeping Up With Old Friends Thread

Not picking on Storr, but this pretty much sums up the world according to the NIL. Everything is on the table and no one ever cleans the dirty dishes before setting the table again.
The way this is set up, every kid is on a one year contract. Wisconsin now needs to buck up more or if Storr gets a better offer, hes out the door.

None of these kids should be committal after the season. They need to see what kind of offers they get and make the best decision for themselves.

The ncaa needs to make some boundaries. This is a complete destruction of commitment to school and community. Sad to see this being the new normal.
 


FWIW, skip to 9:50 if interested for Auriemma’s views on the “new normal”. Smart coach who always speaks his mind. Ends his answer with a point largely ignored in all the NIL / Portal hoopla.
 

I had to laugh when I saw this. Towards the end of the 2023 Basketball kickoff dinner, I spoke to Pinson. I said to him, "You have a really good outside shot. I have a feeling you are going to have a game this season where you hit 6 threes. Of course that didn't happen, but I was only one season off (6-8 from three for Pinson) 14-20 from the field. I wonder if he gave credit to the coaching staff?
 
1982 SJU NCAA team that lost to Alabama at Nassau Coliseum. Great bunch of guys and coaches! Best warmups in NCAA…we should have never changed. No sneaker contracts back then…guys wearing Nike, Converse and Adidas. My first year at SJU View attachment 2462
Definitely my favorite warm-ups . Wennington, and Washington were Converse guys, Calzonetti and Kelly were Addidas. I believe the rest were Nike.
 
Kevin Williams also Addidas
