February General CBB Discussion Thread

[KingAG]

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.

 

[Frenemy]

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.

 

[gsmooth]

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

I’m gonna guess mark Titus knows more about ball and AAU than you, but just a guess. Even if he doesn’t, he certainly knows those things at some level. You say some weird stuff.

Do you really want to defend that video?

The sports bros like Titus like to go right up to the line of what will get them in trouble because there is a certain audience that likes that. It appears that some of the Boneyarders are part of that audience.

What he was joking about was a perfectly accurate description of my AAU experience in suburban CT. He wasn’t close to crossing a line unless you watch nothing but the PBS and Hallmark channels.

I could say a basketball is round and you would argue about it.

As always you miss the point. I simply responded to your assessment of his ball and AAU knowledge. I didn’t say anything about anything else, though you’re not making any point there either.

Should I be ashamed that I played AAU in middle school, varsity NEPSAC in highschool, and then walk-on at a NESCAC school, with a new pair of Jordan’s every season?
