Can someone turn on the Ringling Bros

Hey that federal shutdown is wreaking havoc

The full list of airports that will reduce flights during the government shutdown

The FAA is forcing airlines to cut 10% of their flights at 40 of the busiest airports across the nation, including Boston's Logan Airport.

His flight for his official visit to NC State was also canceled and there is no information if he's going to reschedule. If you don't try to reschedule doesn't that mean you're really not interested?

I know I can always summon your attention on the Mingo thread

Mingo?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Wonder if Mingo waiting to see how his prospective teams develop and progress this season vis-a-vis how he sees his style of play fitting in with the program he chooses.

 

[CL82]

Mingo rhymes with dingo. I wonder if Dylan will see a kindred soul in Furphy.

 

[Scrutineer]

This has nothing to do with Mingo, but I don't get this logic. If you're a guaranteed lottery pick why would you give a about the NIL money you make in your 8 months on campus? You're going to be signing a big ticket in a couple months. I would think NIL would be a much bigger draw for kids whose long-term earnings potential in the league is more uncertain.

That fits with why we backed off on several kids the last three years and makes sense considering Dan Hurley's formula for building a championship level team.

 

[Scrutineer]

Prefer 247, and not sure when they updated, but On3 has Mingo up to the number 2 player in the class. The Raitliff's have also skyrocketed.

I wonder what Junior Count did or failed to do in order to warrant a drop from 35 to 61?

Might get an announcement soon?

He’s going to Penn State. Even watched them today at New Haven.

He was just supporting his family.

Great question as that is precipitous - he remains 28 with 247. I haven't spent much time on his tape. I did see some fun film on Landrew and Edgecombe going 1 on 1 recently.

Article doesn't say we're out but the assumption is we are. I think our only shot is if this drags out to the spring and we lose Silas, Solo, and Braylon all to the NBA.

Not that it matters as it relates to Mingo anymore but why would it take all 3 to leave to make room? If we’re losing 2 of those guys we need to bring in a starting G as a late commit Or from the portal otherwise it would mean either County or Furphy are starting next year

Because it more accurately reflects where he is as a prospect.

Just wanted some pizza.

I can’t believe UNH is DI with that gymnasium.

We’re losing one guy. Solo and Demary aren’t going anywhere. Too many underclassmen blowing up. Those two won’t get anywhere near the first round, so why leave?

Personally if I’m Mingo I go to Bama with Philon going. Is there a better showcase stage than that up and down system?

This stage? 😜

Also a great one. Oats lets his kid run up and down the floor and they take like 20% more shots in that offense. There are just more opps to go around. Both him and Pope kinda run a similar offense, they need depth but even off the bench you’re gonna get plenty of shots. I’d have to think those two systems will naturally attract top frosh as much more security around getting reps.

If he's a bad shooter, going to a school like Alabama might just magnify his weaknesses.

A mingo ate my baby...

swiiiing and a miss!

I think there are a lot of guys who couldn't care less about "winning." Just over the last few years, you've had top guys each year like Dybansta, Ace Bailey, and Harper, Collier to USC, and Williams to Colorado, Nick Smith to Arkansas, Chet, Patrick Baldwin, etc. I think there are more and more guys who are just looking for the highest bidder because it doesn't really matter.

This year, you have Crowe to Missouri, Mingo perhaps to Penn State. I think it's going to happen more and more.

Granted, there are other factors at times (Mingo and PSU, for example), but I think a lot of top guys want to go to a place where they are clearly the #1 option, get paid, and then they get out. Mingo wouldn't necessarily be the obvious #1 guy if he came here, and he'd have a maniac pushing him to places he's never been before.

LOL

Using any money they saved from firing James Franklin. 😀

Would be a strange choice for a top 10 recruit but some kids these days don't seem to care about winning. I know his brother is there, but still.

Don't sense winning matters much with Dylan, at all.
