  1. As much as I hate to say it, I think Celtics win in 6. Holiday and White will make Kyrie’s life hell. No stopping Luka, but Brown, Tatum and Holiday will make him work hard for it. Hoping for the reverse jinx.

    my point is simply that players are more unknown now when they enter the draft than they used to be, and again, i don’t think that’s a terribly controversial take.

    That isn’t a controversial take, but it also isn’t what you originally said.

    the talent level of draft classes is probably going to stink going forward.

    I can buy that there is more variance in potential outcomes for any given player compared to the old days (which I think is the point you are trying to make), but the overall talent level will continue to be pretty great this year notwithstanding.

    Paul Pierce/Ray Allen was something serious for their time. They caused Lebron to get frustrated and start the Miami Heat era since he could never beat Boston with them there.

    Paul Pierce was a guard?

    Id figure $500 a shirt or maybe a bit more for a great button up.
    I dont want some cheap ass off the rack button up that makes me look like a soup sandwich emoji23.png
    Issue always is the sleeve length and shirt length looking like a moo moo.
    Like how jerry jones sleeves normally look.

    lol, I’d say that’s a decent range. I get most of my dress shirts and summer shirts bespoke at a local shirt maker in nyc, and even those are usually in the $300-$350 range. Worth every penny.

    I don't like Jokic as a basketball player, but like him as a person.

    I LOVE Anthony Edwards basketball game, but have a very strong dislike for him as a person. He's vulgar and lewd, etc.

    You find him "vulgar and lewd"? Are you a 1950s housewife or something. jesus fucking christ, get a grip.

    No mention of Margot Robbie?  She’s great in everything she’s in. Just oozes charisma. Probably the biggest movie star in the world currently. Zendaya is an up and comer. 

    It’s Margot vs Emma Stone right now and that’s really the only serious conversation to be had. But lots of potential in the current under 30 crew.

    No dog in this fight, but it doesn't seem like these quotes support your argument. Quite the opposite.

     

     

     

     

    There were always dissenting voices, and those voices grew in numbers towards the end, but they were almost always met with pages of dog piling and copium. It‘s not really worth debating, the threads are still there for people to read.

    In any event, I personally still wish Davis were here. Here’s to hoping that Kenny Baker turns out to be a great find.

    Lulz. You went back almost 3 years to find posts to try to prove your point.  
     

    New shit has come to light.
     

    Davis did good in 2022 with Bledsoe, Bryant, Ross, and Swanson. Since then, he’s only landed 3 DTs, none of which were consensus 4 stars. And the only DT he landed in 2023 didn’t get developed under his watch, so his second full class was a complete miss. 

     

    Well those posts from you were less than 2 years ago, but sure. And I disagree that he did well in 2022.

    "few months" -> "12 months" -> 2 years ago

    If you're going to keep arguing on this, would you mind providing a consistent opinion? Bo came in with a great reputation as a recruiter (deservedly so) and people were happy with the '22 class. In the last 12/few/whatever time frame you want to set, the consensus changed as we signed bad classes. 

    Sure, if you want some 2024 quotes in 2 minutes, happy to help. But I do agree that the recruiting group think started to fade a bit after the 2024 class began to take shape. By then the group had reframed the narrative to him not needing 5 stars because he was such a great developer of talent (which to be fair to the group, maybe true).

    Closetojumping: Multiple posters on the 2023 thread were mocking Choate the same way you idiots are now bagging on Davis

    Quote

    SyndeyCarton: Davis has landed some top ranked talent, including the recruits I listed. Sydir Mitchell’s offer list was A+ and we beat Georgia for him straight up. 

    Quote

    texifornia: These highly rated recruits with lots of commitable offers haven't flashed by sophomore year. The problem is clearly the recruiting. Come on guys, we should be better at identifying issues like this at this point.

    Quote

    SydneyCarton: Sydir Mitchell literally we beat every program in the country for…Jmond Tapp was a stud. The other guys Ive mentioned are highly thought of kids. We’re loading up on big bodies this year in the interior.

    Nah. People have pretty consistently complained about his recruiting, as evidenced by the fact that we've taken 2 portal DTs and DT is still considered a need position. No one's saying we're happy he left, but his recruiting was a weak point at Texas with top-level NIL. Now if he's at LSU with no NIL and a HC who's one of the worst recruiting HCs in the country, it could be a real problem for LSU moving forward. 

    Yes, I agree.

    There are no others buddy lol those 4 guys are our only interior DL takes the for the 22 and 23 classes. You think people were happy with landing 2 mid 4*, 1 borderline 4* and a 3* over 2 classes? Maybe you weren’t paying attention but it’s been heavily discussed here the last 12+ months. 

    Here are a few gems from the 2023 thread just from using our shitty search function for less than 5 minutes:

    Hookem2147: Kris Ross, Bledsoe, Bryant and Swanson underwhelmed you? You must have your expectations set high.

    Hiphopopotamos: I'm ok with Bo Davis recruiting whoever he wants from wherever he wants.

    Duane Moore: if there’s one coach on the staff I trust to evaluate prospects at their position it’s Bo Davis.

    Hornius Emeritus: Brennen Marrion is about to become the Bo Davis of Wide Receivers. I really think that Sark his a home run on this hire

    Quote

    Hookem2147: I don’t worry about DL recruiting with Bo Davis.

    Burt Macklin: Yikes, man. Those are some terrible conclusions you made. Don’t put any stock in that list, especially if it leads you to conclude Davis didn’t recruit well. 
     

    Quote

    Burt Macklin: Davis did well at edge in the 2022 class and I’m sure he’ll figure it out in 23.

    Quote

    Closetojumping: I do know that Bo Davis gets his men though, and often surprises along the way.

    It’s been pretty consensus here for quite some time that Bo is a good coach/developer but a shit recruiter. This isn’t something new that just popped up. 

    lol. That was absolutely not the consensus on this board 12 months ago. The consensus was that Bo was knocking it out of the park with underrated gems like Sydir Mitchell, Jaray Bledsoe, Aaron Bryant, Kris Ross and others, and that any gnashing of teeth about our future DT depth chart was nothing but histrionics. It's fine, it's what fans of college football recruiting do.

    Sounds like Bo doesnt get to walk into schools anymore and lead with the money that can be thrown their way like he did here. He didnt even get top tier guys doing that, so I imagine his recruiting chops are G5 level bad.

    Maybe my brain isn’t functioning optimally (too much time on Surly), but with the shit job Davis did over the years recruiting DTs and with a scholarship to play with, I can see an argument for bringing in a once highly rated younger player with the preferred size (so not a Swanson type) and upside and getting him in the system now, rather than wait to win a recruiting battle for a high school kid.

    As has been stated we have a couple extra scholarships, if he develops he helps cover up some of Bo’s shitty 2022 and 2023 recruiting and if he doesn’t you ship him off in January. Literally a no lose situation. 

    It’s been pretty fun to watch this board do a complete 180 on Bo Davis in the span of a few months. College football fandom at its finest.

    Secondary is a way bigger issue than DT this year.  If they don’t get more transfers, atleast we get Gideon and Joseph fired after the season on the positive side?  

    Well the coaches sure seem to think otherwise, since we flirt with just about every average to above average defensive tackle in the portal.

    Lakers are the sleeper team, but GSW might be sleepier.  These HOF loaded teams are so lowly seeded, West was loaded. 

    I think the Ws are washed (other than Steph obviously). They'll probably wind up with the 8 seed, but I expect them to be a fairly easy out for OKC (6 games at most) if that's the matchup.
