  1. He clearly just wants to go to the league, but I think he’s trying to keep things cordial with Texas in case he has to come back. I agree about the drills thing. Ben Simmons can hit jumpers in drills too.
  2. Phillips is currently putting up really impressive numbers at the NBA combine, he might not come back to college.
  3. Yeah they weren’t having a great season until the tournament. 8-10 in a mediocre SEC.
  4. God, I hate Kim Mulkey, but this team Is now significantly better than the one that just won the national championship. Morrow averaged 25 and 12 at DePaul.
  5. Arkansas will happily yeet the entirety of their remaining roster from the previous year for the next new thing. I’m sure they agreed to whatever the Hollands said they wanted.
  6. In the era of the portal, it feels like rosters are just going to be a year-to-year thing. We will be back in the portal again heavily next year.
  7. Holland is the only gut punch that still hurts imo. I don’t think there’s any realistic scenario where Johnson would’ve ended up on campus, he opted out on the idea of school entirely, and fuck Morris and his camp. But the Holland thing hurts, and some people are going to have a hard time getting over that, which I get. We seem to be getting what we want from the portal though and that’s good. It’s going to take some getting used to, but the portal is the most important thing now.
  8. Doing pretty good in the portal.
  9. This was the Dillon Mitchell post made yesterday. All he posted was a picture of him from a game this past season. Then he deleted it.
  10. No he isn’t. Mitchell went to high school entirely in the state of Florida. The other two entirely in the state of Texas.
  11. Holland Is former HS teammates with Anthony Black who is about to be a lottery pick out of Arkansas.
  12. All 5-stars won’t be one and dones, but they all think they will be. And that isn’t any better for us in the era of the transfer portal. Teenagers aren’t introspective. A good amount of the ones who aren’t one and done will blame the school for it before they blame themselves. Im not one of the people who thinks we should entirely stop recruiting 5-stars, but there is an obvious downside. 5-stars are likely to be less patient.
  13. As a Mavs fan, I absolutely hated Shawn Bradley. Now I feel kinda bad about it, given what’s happened to him.
  14. This kid is really really good. He’s about to get paid big.
  15. Woke up to a bunch of replies from Derka and I am not reading all that shit. I’m fine with shit talking on a message board though. It’s what 90% of all message boards are. As for Morris, he can kick rocks. Carr, Hunter and Rice were all better than him last year. I am not going to get mad at the coaching staff for playing their best players. We don’t make that E8 run without those 3 doing their thing. I wish Morris had patience, he would’ve gotten a ton of minutes this year, but most 5 stars aren’t trying to wait for anything these days.
  16. People don’t want to do it, but the sport would be better off if the kids just got paid directly. Then you could treat it like pro sports and have enforceable contracts. NIL is truly the Wild West.
  17. You’re both right, but I thought Holland could be the rare freshman that still makes an impact.
  18. I don’t like being a roller coaster of emotion, it’s a long offseason and season. It’s silly to be reactionary to every single thing. But it’s hard to expect others to be even keel with this one, especially when it’s less than a day after the good Abmas news. This is some Jekyll and Hyde shit.
