BANABLE OFFENSE GOOD SIR
I have a better idea. When the time comes that we need a public hanging (and we all know that periodically one is necessary) we dig up his post as evidence.

The high school videos are always impressive but man this Kid looks incredible. Changing directions with control like that and then to be able to finish or find the open man is a rare thing. You feel bad for the opposing guards trying to stay with him.

If you're looking for evidence, you're doing it wrong.
1. Wild accusations
2. Hanging
3. Trial

Also, we don't hang dolts around here. Person has to have some juice. We had a fallow period here, but we have some new-ish posters who we might be able to get enough mojo out of by having the swing. This guy isn't one of them.

I think he's developing some juice. I'm just not sure I'd spend any money to buy rope. Need the money to pay off recruits (his major contribution to the forum). nomar's correct. Let fishy handle him. BTW is there any connection between Paesono and gblow?

We don't hang generally unpopular posters. If we don't have them here, why would the mojo gods want their souls among them?

Good to see we are still on these guys. I know it sounds dumb, but it seems like you have to recruit kids these days until they step foot on campus.

Completely agree. Feel like we have learned from past experiences.

Do yourself a favor and stay above that dude. Make your points, defend them if you feel the need. But why don't you avoid the derogatory statements you level towards those who disagree with you? Passion isn't a bad thing when it's channeled.

At some point in time you have to realize that repeating things ad nauseam only causes people to stop listening at best, or attacking you at worst.

These forums are filled with posters who need to win debates. Threads go on and on and I seldom notice us changing our positions. Others join in the sides feel validated and the debates continue. I sincerely can't figure out why we so vigorously continue arguing when there is no evidence there will be any resolution to the argument. What makes matters worse, is we argue over issues we have no control over.

And yes you were in your rights to call me out. I reverted to baseness. I can do it with the best of you.

Agreed on all accounts. Will try to avoid getting pulled down the rabbit hole. It is tough sometimes. Frustration and all that. Peace.

Nobody is pulling you down anything.

You are digging hole after hole yourself and trying to drag poster after poster down with you.

What are the odds we see Alterique in the McDonald's AA game? Been a while since we have had one, Oriakhi I believe.

Probably slim to none. PG crop is really deep this year, and as talented as Gilbert is, there are probably four or five that are better that will likely get the nod over him.
