This is an unusually emotional reaction to a lineup projection.

You seem to be making 3 arguments, none of which make a lot of sense. 1) High school recruits carry less risk if they are highly rated. Yes... duh. We also can't get multiple top-10 high school recruits a year. The 4* guys are only coming here if they're willing to develop on the bench. The...

New account, first comment. Hi Mrs. Zanetto! We still appreciate the engagement from your son, don't worry.

And high school recruiting is even less perfect. Our hit rate on transfers as impact players is significantly better than high school players--especially those in the 4* range. I raise you Isaiah Abraham, Ahmad Nowell, Rahsool Diggins, and Corey Floyd Jr. You've also yet to address how the...

When you look at his #s, he's a streaky shooter. His form isn't bad. I haven't watched enough to know, but that's often just a sign that there's some inconsistency in his footwork to tighten up. Edit: Just watched a few highlights to remind me. His shot is slow and has a wonky upper body that...

Somehow you've managed to be 100% wrong on all counts here. The portal is perfect for filling specific positional needs. There are FAR more high-major ready talents in the portal than there are coming from the high school ranks.

I'm assuming it's going to be 1 guard and 1 wing, based on multiple coaches talking about smaller recruiting classes in the future. Guard: Mingo, County Wing: Samuels, Toure, Cloer, Landrew, Howard Big and any other needs coming from the portal.

Definitely can co-exist as initiators.

I would imagine Cloer and Toure are being recruited for the same spot.

Cool to see Brick and Basil on here in Norwich. I really enjoyed their pies the two times I got one

I'm not sure he's being disrespected. Ranking seems fair. His ranking was higher but his 3-ball and playmaking hasn't developed the way people were hoping.

News at 10: Rampage is an idiot.

My tinfoil hat says this was to drive book sales The rest of me thinks some thoughts should stay behind the lips. But you do you coach, just keep winning

Then why are we still running it? (Psstt the answer is because it works far more often than not)

FWIW I'd still take Reed. The high-major experience, shot-blocking, size, and offensive rebounding % is a gamechanger. Ejiofor at #1 is an odd choice to me. Ike and Reed are both better IMO. Bidunga hasn't proven anything to be #2. Quaintance makes no sense at #5.
