Know you were kidding, but far, far, far, far better.

We need a name!

Here we go again, another offseason of this roller coaster ride .

Sanon is a legit NBA prospect. But having him for two years would be massive...

 

[Jack Williams]

our savior is back

I’m guessing this means Sanon, I was looking into him on Twitter and alot of Providence fans think they have a shot with him too

No chance. He was close to going there last year but think that's over and done with

Welp, not going to pretend like I watched a second of this kid play, but a former Top-30 consensus recruit with good size, good stats and three years eligibility sounds like a decent start to the offseason. Sign him up if we can get him.

If he picks English over Pitino he may as well have KNUCKLEHEAD tattooed on his forehead.

I think fordham said Hopkins is unlikely but Hopkins/Sanon would be a hell of a start

 

[Redenbacher]

Also RJ. And forgive if this has been already posted. I have spoken to ROC and they love the kid and his family.

Who is ROC?

Feel like if he is stealable it'll be Will Wade sneaking in there.

 

[Marillac2]

Donovan Dent!?

Don't play with Marillac's heart like that.

ROC is JayZ’s talent agency. They now also represent athletes.

Agreed!!! Portal has been a blessing in that regard. Unless you are an absolute STUD (five star), you are just a talented high school recruit... With the portal, talent and projection are not enough to solidify your spot for four/five years. You have to have some value. There must be an ROI, or you get the boot and replaced. Putting the ball in the hole is all that all that matters...

"Kids" wanted to get paid. They are. They are now professionals. The ante has been upped. Gone are the days of amateurism, GPAs, and tickle me feel good stories. Rivalries, by and large, are dead. It's all about TV money, Q1 wins, and spending millions of dollars on the roster.

How viable this is in the long term is anyone's guess. Truth is I can't think of another professional sport where fans are expected to fund salaries like they are in college. Usually we get nailed at the gate, via concessions, etc.

Just going to try and enjoy this scene for as long as I can. I trust things will get way worse, because the NCAA is an inept organization that ruins everything. Football was first; men's hoops is next...

Enjoy the ride, boys.

Yeah, pundits complained that it would make the rich richer. The opposite is true, especially in Football. Syracuse, for example, had a 1000 yard receiver this year who only played special teams at Georgia. Lots of kids like this.
