Cliffs top 8

You're clearly one that hides behind shade, considering you limit who can view your profile. Talk Spartacus and run. All good.

"OK boomer is a viral internet slang phrase used, often in a humorous or ironic manner, to call out or dismiss out-of-touch or close-minded opinions associated with the baby boomer generation and older people more generally."

Hmmm a little Hurley brother recruiting battle shaping up?

They vowed to not play or recruit against each other

 

[GHSWolverines]

Would’ve been in this one til the very end but the staff was not willing to wait for spring, as they shouldn’t have. No way we should’ve told Javonte Brown Ferguson to wait in hopes of landing Cliff. Center is our biggest need with Josh graduating next year and Hurley found his guy in Javonte Brown Ferguson

If another scholly opens up for next year, I would prefer a shooter.

Seems like Memphis has $nuck into the top slot now that UK might be out of scholarships

What is this boomer crap? Been seeing, hearing it everywhere.

So basically some older man (boomer) uploaded a video on TikTok (a form of social media) and the video was just him criticizing the younger generation (genZ) calling them “tinker bells” and all that crap that they always say. So one person replied to the video just saying “Ok Boomer” and it went viral. There’s more articles if you google it on where it came from

These kids that post their top 16's then top 8 then final 4 etc seem like drama queens and are more trouble than they are worth. Look at Bouk, Gaff, Jackson and Javonte Brown Ferguson. All signed early, no drama, and the two that are now playing for us have been fantastic, save the minor police incident that resulted in around 15 charges. Besides that they've been great.

OR they are just young kids trying to have a little fun. If that's trouble, I'll take it.

Just preparing myself for the next dislike wave. Have to be ready in case I make @tzznandrew angry so he can't find all my posts easily

Yeah you're probably right.

This may help. How to know if you're a 'Karen' (and other terms your kids have adopted)

My time on a booze related Discord has made me more proficient in this, although those guys don't call me "boomer". Just don't be a Karen. Bouknight is FIRE!

 

[AZHuskiePop]

I don't love our chances now but this list was almost best case scenario two hurleys helps sell both schools IMO, no other big east schools we have the garden, and we all know it's KU then everyone else. If the stars do align and it makes sense I like our chances if KU passes. The best part is, nobody has to sit on the edge of their seat praying we ALREADY have a great class now we are just deciding what flavor icing we are going to use!

Kentucky us UK
Kansas is KU

'is' for both lmao. thanks for the reminder though

 

[amsterdamjade]

Do we really even want/need him anymore? I’m ok with Carlton for one more year and Javonte Brown Ferguson backing him up while he beefs up and gets better and better. Maybe get a solid grad transfer that is just a big tough monster on the boards and defense that can play the 4 or 5.

 

[UCDaveD]

I don't even like the kid based on all this crap alone. I don't. care about his talent. You haven't done # 2 yet young man.

Need no. Want yeah probably.

Touché

 

[Fishy]

I give up.

At this point, I’m tired of seeing every thread driven into a tree.

If you find that you can no longer post, it’s a feature, not a bug.

 

[Samoo]

Chief is a believer in a rotation at the 4 and 5 positions. We would take Cliff with open arms, but with Javonte Brown Ferguson it’s less likely.

No way. I thought 2 guys could play all 80 minutes. Subs? We don't need no stinking subs...

I’m assuming we don’t get Cliff. We have Carlton and Javonte Brown-Ferguson for 20-21, then we lose Carlton and Whaley. I’m curious to see if we get a freshman in 2021 (Mac Etienne?) or if we get a grad transfer for 21-22 and get a freshman big in 2022 (Clingan?). I definitely feel better about our recruiting now that we’re playing excellent basketball again.

based on the recruiting...lean jard on MacEtiene.

No LSU?

Saw this tweet the other day. Sounds like he is seriously considering Rutgers. I’d take UConn’s engineering program over Rutgers but RU is actually ranked higher.

 

[ruthetiger]

It depends on what type of engineering he wants to study. RU had long had a history of good engineering, and just added to their program aerospace to its repertoire. It also currently has an engineering student on the current roster in Myles Johnson, who by all accounts is a very good student. This may factor in Cliffs decision. Wherever he goes, and whoever gets him, they will be getting a very good basketball player, but an even more serious student. There is a reason why Rutgers is well placed on his top 8 list.

 

[Chief00]

Somehow I don’t think a major recruiting battle will be decided by whose engineering program is marginally better.

if you wanted to play this game for a moment, one could argue with Javonte Brown Ferguson onboard at UConn, there would be less on court pressure and greater ability to focus on the classroom. More likely, if Cliff picked Rutgers over us , it would be due to us having more depth at that position.

Regarding this whole “he’s interested in an engineering program” spin, if that were the case wouldn’t he be looking at more of a long term commitment to college b-ball? Not sure how quickly one could finish a full engineering program, but after his freshman season at UConn (if we got him) his position would be pretty wide open, with him and Javonte Brown Ferguson splitting most of the minutes at C. And IMO he would garner most of those minutes as he’s physically further along than Javonte Brown Ferguson.

No disrespect to anyone but Chief takes this academic stuff as more good PR than anything else. Sure, Chief thinks it’s great a player appears to have a sincere interest, to some extent, in academics. But, do I think that will carry the day regarding what school he balls at - of course not. If he has an interest in engineering both Rutgers and UConn’s programs are good enough - we don’t need an academic debate regarding the engineering programs.
