Yes, but Chief's not wrong about the fouling.

A fifth year of playing eligibility is good in every way. Gives excellent college players with limited pro options another chance to make real cash. Raises the overall level of the sport because veterans are more likely to be able to execute complex sets. Improves college as a developmental...

I hate when Connecticut kids go elsewhere but yeah, this is 100% correct. We're THE national program now and that means we get to be choosy, including with kids from our own backyard. I wish the kid nothing but the best (and in this case, I hope "the best" means moving on from Arkansas after...

Yeah, I don't really care about them anymore. Like BC and Pitt, they're just names from our past, not actual competition. They can't compete with us for recruits, they can't beat us on the court, they're irrelevant in their own conference, and their fans (the few that are left) know it. They...

God, this guy's gonna end up back at 'Cuse, isn't he? That'd do a lot to rekindle my hatred.

Actual take: If he ever sees the floor, we're up 30.

They're a magnet for stupid money. Same with the Lakers.

Have we forgotten how great Emeka was? He averaged 4.3 blocks per game for his career, and was able to stay on the court for 30+ mpg because he didn't foul. He was also a go-to scorer in the way that Clingan never was. Love Clingan, but he's second at best.

His deceleration while playing off two feet at that age is crazy. It's hyper-coordinated stuff. Now the questions are: If he grows, does he keep that decel and balance? Or does he get kind of awkward? If he doesn't grow, will his athleticism (including his decels) still continue to pop as he...

Bud & Doc.

I think the Spanish kid's going to be good but I'm still pissed my Celtics didn't take Liam.

If Ray had been on those Lakers teams instead of Kobe they win 5 titles instead of 3. Better teammate, better spacing, better gravity, way more clutch, and he'd have committed defensively in a way he didn't really at that point in his career. Never would've blown it up b/c of his ego. Just...

We will get a bruiser upperclassman from the portal to replace Reed.
