February General CBB Discussion Thread

Junior - I like what you're thinking here. I just don't think we'd pay up for him - TT has money, so if he's leaving he's going to the highest bidder, like Williams did leaving last year.

BTW - Silas is going to likely command a hefty tag for next year.

I mean whatever we paid for Alex, Taris and Braylon(likely) frees up. What we paid Alex and Taris should be enough for Toppin I would hope.

It’s wishful thinking

I don't know how Hurley would manage his budget, but he always seems to avoid the real big splash portal kid. Toppin would very much qualify, as he was 2-3 in POY behind Boozer. You're likely looking at 3mm or so if he's healthy. He is exactly what we'd need.

I’d sign up for Silas, Solo, TBD(Landrew?), Toppin, Reibe

That may be preseason number 1

I was thinking UConn had a head start on preseason number 1 anyway.

UM is going to lose the front court. AZ will lose Burries, Peat, Bradley and possibly Krivas. ISU loses JJ and TL. Duke will lose their big 3, maybe more. They'll always be up there. I'm guessing Scheyer's plan is having teams with freshmen/sophomore's annually.

Topin suffers ACL, out for season. Terrible break for TTech.

I can think of another BE that's gonna be pretty highly ranked preseason. We got bag too, soon everyone's gonna need a capologist. If they don't already.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

That is just a stupid post by you.

There is a direct correlation of people who think cheap shots are cool and their level of cowardice in real life. Thank you for confirming that.

Anybody who watched the replay could tell that the UCLA defender was tailgating.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

these crazy buyouts for non-elite coaches never make sense to me. I don't even think the elites should have this type of language in their deals but Mick Cronin and Jerome Tang having $22M/$18M buyouts is insane

It is amazing that you are not a top tier Athletic Director with your 20/20 hindsight.

What could he possibly mean by "city players vs. suburb players"? That was a 77 second video playing on stereotypes by a guy that doesn't know basketball and doesn't know AAU.

Unbelievably sad. He is special player on a very good team. He deserved, and Texas Tech's entire team deserved to see how far they could go in the NCAAT with a full roster.

 

[BigTenFan]

Following the Purdue threads today they basically said last night's Michigan game was Uconn '24 all over again

says the guy musing on everything from his armchair. Where’s your podcast? I’m sure it would be a laugh a minute.
