Believe it or not, Glen is actually very well liked amongst the younger generation - my best friend from HS's brother is tight with one of Miller's kids and has told me such.

It's the socks.
 
At Dallas FF, I got to see Mills more up close and personal. He was smiling, social and genuine - a great guy to be around. To me, nothing like he came across a head coach.

It don't mean thing if you ain't got that swing.
 
One of my best friend's played for him at Connecticut College and couldn't stand him as a coach because Glenn freaked out about everything back then. I think being an assistant at UConn has done wonders for him, he has really mellowed out and seems like a great guy.

Yea I was being facetious as a lot of Boneyarders like to us Glen Miller as the recruiting whipping boy. The idea that an older white male coach can't relate to some of these recruits is a joke
 
As I said before good coach but his track record as a Bigs and lead recruiter is not good.
 
.-.
I'd rather have Jones. Even if he never gets beyond being a finisher around the basket, he's still an elite rebounder, and that's enough to make him worth having.

The report posted in the Diarra thread said that he was the best rebounder last weekend and that the competition was very strong. If Diarra's wingspan is around 7'0, I would prefer him. Tyrique Jones is an overachiever, but his 6'8 wingspan is going to limit him against tall F/C with any post game.

Any man who calls the doctor for being worried about excessive wood should be ashamed.

Just get to a nearby college and go nuts.
 
From a Rivals article today:
Since Diallo is on pace to graduate next year he could be part of the Class of 2016 but has not made a decision on when he will leave.

"I'm going to see how the process plays out right now," he said. "Most of my offers are for 2016 and 2017, so it all depends how comfortable I feel coming out."

I'll translate "It depends if Rodney Purvis declares for the draft. If he does I'll reclassify to 2016"

I have to imagine that we're in on him for either season, right? If that's the case, and we're his first-choice school at least at the moment, why wouldn't he go in '16? He'd get minutes for us, too. If nothing changes in the next 8 months or so, I'd bet he reclassifies.

Fun fact: Diallo picked up 3 CB picks for us since yesterday.
 
getting both him and diarra would be a monster start to the class. crossing my fingers reclassifying is in serious consideration.

No new hobbies for you everything is working out just fine. If Larrier heads our way I may want to have you read the lines in my palms.
