Duke was not favored in that game. You're mixing it up with the 1999 title game.

Careful. I'm confident but recruiting is as volatile as it's ever been. I would be surprised if he takes only one visit.

and both are anagrams for Mali, which is where Adama's from. Which basically means that Liam's as good as ours.

Hoss's. Dude's going to be amazing for us.

Only he know what he really wants to do, and he’s surrounded by good people. That said, he’s projected to go around where AJax did last year, and this is a weak draft and he’s not getting any younger, so it’s not super likely he’d be projected higher next year. He knows that, as do the people...

I’ll be shocked if Hass is not coming back. I expect AK to be gone, tho obviously that’s not said and done.

Traore, Brea, McNeely, Powers is my hope.

I’ve been open about what I’m hearing re: McNeeley — it’s in those threads. Haven’t heard much about Brea but it would surprise me if we weren’t heavily involved.

So do I, and I take zero offense to those who are. That said, I’ve heard from folks I trust that we’re in legit pursuit of this kid. And given our roster needs and Borges’ reporting last week it all adds up. So, to me, the kid seems worth a thread. To be clear: I have zero contact with the...

Amen. That’s a “can’t watch or understand the game” type of analysis.

Shai's Canadian.

6'9 with the afro.

He's not eligible until the 2025 draft. He's spending his next year playing hoops somewhere, and we're putting guys into the lotto every year... pretty clear how we're pitching him.

Big French combo guard, basically a top-10 level recruit. Here's Hollinger from a week ago: That’s about to change, as he signed with Saint-Quentin in the top division of the French league for the remainder of the season. He’s being recruited by U.S. colleges as well, with Gonzaga, Xavier and...

Yeah this really is the one. Nadav v Gtown, Donyell v St John’s, Kemba v SD State, Ben v Bama are the next tier down. Ray v UCLA and Caron v Maryland are the ultimate “valiant in defeat” entries. But clingan v. Illinois really is the best. The 0-for-19 and the 14 points allowed when Cling Kong...

An underrated one for me: Nadav vs. Georgetown on Jan 20, 1990. Georgetown came into that game 10-0, technically No. 2 in the nation but expected to be No. 1 since Kansas had lost earlier that day. It was the first time we'd beaten a team ranked that high, and Mike Gorman called it the best win...

My cousin and I have been going back and forth on this one and we're having trouble coming up with something better than Clingan's game vs. Illinois. I feel like the folks on this board will have some opinions.

What’s pathetic about this? Hurley’s the gold standard now so the headline on the article analyzing a new coach’s arrival is making a hopeful comparison. People gotta calm down. Learn how to take a compliment.

I think it's a good sign. A week ago folks I talked to said if it was us vs. the field they'd take the field. Now those same folks are saying if it's us vs. the field they'd take us. Nothing's done yet, obviously. But we're very, very strong here.

Took 25 pages to derail, which is probably a boneyard record! Anyway, I’ll stop posting about soccer. I just hope the folks who are USMNT fans here keep an open mind about what’s happening on the field. Because it’s been really, really good.

I like the Jimmy/Jesse/Charlie pod, too. Anyway, here’s what some folks without skin in the game thought of the US under Berhalter: https://sporza.be/nl/2022/11/30/wk-podcast-de-positieve-coachingsstijl-van-gregg-berhalter-dat-willen-we~1669797222109/ We were the youngest team ever to get...

It's really not. The way he was hired was gross but the team's results under him have been very good, and the process has been excellent.

There are now roughly 35 free-to-play academies in the US (all 26 US-based MLS teams and a few USL sides). A decade back there were two. It's incredibly hard to break into the top 10 teams in international soccer -- over the past 50 years, only Portugal has managed to do so and stay there over...

The US women's national team has won 4 World Cups, twice as many as any other country, and 4 Olympic Golds. No other team has won more than 1. We're basically Wooden-era UCLA. The US men's national team has made the knockout rounds (top 16) at the World Cup five out of the past 8 tourneys...

I hate Georgetown. But damn it’ll be good for the big east if they’re good again.

Ghostbusters is basically a perfect script that's elevated by an iconic performance. That said, Ghostbusters is the best Bill Murray movie, while Royal Tenenbaums is the best movie that Bill Murray is in.

Watching that did my soul some good.

They should trade Bridges Houston for their own picks, which would allow them to tank effectively. Could maybe get a nice young player (Eason? Whitmore?) out of it, too. And Bridges is exactly what Houston need to take a step forward next year. Honestly, this might be the most obvious deal in...

For those who don't know: he went to UConn and was a team manager. Calhoun and Blaney pushed him into coaching because they saw something in him. From wiki: Before graduating from the University of Connecticut, Daigneault served as a student manager for the UConn Huskies from 2003 to 2007 under...

It's not a wink! I have zero inside info here, and I don't think he's committed yet. But the staff's prioritizing him, our last two centers have gone/will be going to the NBA, we develop players and win titles. I can't imagine this kid's not on the roster next year.

He coming.

Horn skip slip out of a timeout to officially end any suspense. Our playbook is unreal.

Nadav is probably still No. 1, but Ricky Moore is real high, as is Shabazz.

Edey ate him up, but there's no Zach Edeys in college basketball next year.

Who you're passing to matters.
