Go back to sleep Hans. I always read your posts with as much clarity as I can muster but it's too early.
Haha agreed. he’s now wrong about ANTG.
Eek

Ooh

Ah

Duh

"I'm not an insider, but I still like to puff my chest, and pump things up when I hear them elsewhere. I'm a gossip. I do it for fun. And then claim it's no big deal when I'm wrong, or when somebody presses me in the matter. And then do it again. And again. You should know that, even if I don't say it directly."



I dislike that you speak for yourself in words that obscure that you are doing so.



Maybe some people are fooled by it.


FIFY

The "tongue and cheek" part is key here. Just a slip of the tongue into the groove and you're good to go, disclaimers and all.

Is this anything like dinner parties you attend?

It's more like candy and hot peppers heaped on top of anything nourishing, and often flung around the table like a food fight.

And the air is more a mix of nitrous, helium, and Cannabis than oxygen.

Because somebody else brought up pizza, I'll offer that we got 3 medium at Fairfield Pepe's tonight. All were good, though with thicker dough on one side of the fresh clam pie, and a bit thicker with flop in the center on the sausage & mootz that also had onion on one half and roasted red peppers on the other.

We'd initially made a snap decision on Sally's when we got to the corner of Commerce & Black Rock. I'd only previously had and enjoyed pies from the take-out oven, and was still skeptical about it being much more of a dining room vibe than Woister street. When I emerged from the restroom, my friend had already nixed the choice to stay after the Tom Petty's "Into the Great Wide Open" segued into something
always enjoy a nice Hans post early in the morning while sipping my hazelnut black coffee. You’re not wrong about ANTG. His posts are typically just blowing hot air and when he’s wrong, his response is “gee guys can we just let the kid take his time and make his decision”. Very predictable and nauseating.
 
If it's all money, why is CF going to Duke? Kentucky fans think they can buy anyone.

Like it's been said a million times here, when a kid chooses maximum NIL over national championships, appreciate that we've dodged a bullet. We've done quite well without players like that. There are probably many cases where it's not even the kids. It could be parents looking to personally enrich themselves as much as possible.
Kid has just as much of a chance to win a title at UK as UConn.

If you don't believe me, people would have cackled at the though that Dan Hurley would win 2 championships before Bill Self won another if you would have said this after the NC game in 22...
 
Old news. Cal flew down to see him in Fla before Jordan Classic

I'm aware... But if he takes more visits, Ark could be one. Initially we thought it was only going to maybe be Alabama. Then Michigan. Now maybe UK and Arkansas.
 
I don't think the kid is getting good advice. Short sighted thinking prioritizing a payday over development and winning. Maybe Boyle was never going to let a Hurley get one of his guys...

While the possibility exists that he may be receiving bad advice, one fact is that we have no clue as to what advice he has been receiving.

A little patience may go a long way here.

This is a really stupid thing to say. You have exactly 0 evidence to support this.

Go find another fanbase if you're going to talk about recruits like this. Ridiculous.
 
If you choose NIL over coaching you’re not UConn material. I mentioned this in another thread, Castle took less NIL and is about to be a top 5 pick. The rest of his class is in portal

Such a tired viewpoint... There are so many other parameters that exist beyond just "UConn Material," whatever that means. We can't just rationalize that an 18 year old is flawed any time they do not see the City on the Hill that we make UConn out to be.

I’d be over him in a hot second if he went NIL chasing. Good riddins. Again, may have been part of his IU selection because I can’t think of any other reasons you go there right now.

It really feels like in this day and age, the 5 star burger kids getting all the attention are not the way to go. They are saturated in themselves. Grab the humble kid with upside, where they attach themselves to the program.
 
O/U on how many pages this thread gets to before McNeeley makes his decision? I'm gonna set it at 69 and I'm taking the over.
 
And this is why I haven’t visited the chat room in 2 years. Too many knee jerk reactions. Can we give Liam room to breath. It’s only been a few days since his visit. To this point he has no other visits scheduled. Things may change but I still like our chances.
 
This thread is embarrassing even by day-to-day Boneyard standards.

Yup, this took a nasty turn... I'd prefer we'd segue back into if Samson Johnson likes Berthalter's tactical style again like in the first thread...
 
It is fair to ask why this kid committed to Indiana assuming the coach would not be there. Or he liked the coach a lot when he committed and then soured on him during the year.
 
If his mom's company is very successful and raking in great $, NIL is much less important. But I do not know....
