Looking good for Javonte

[BuckleyNerd]

Texas A&M was 14-18 last year and fired their coach. Lost in 1st round of the SEC tournament to Miss St. Maybe you have them confused with Texas Tech?

Buzz Petersen is their new coach. Said a complete overhaul is needed. Not sure what he's able to sell about Texas A&M to get a kid from Canada to even visit, never mind strongly consider, this hot mess.

It's Buzz Williams, he has succeeded at both Marquette and Virginia Tech, and now he is back in his home state. Aggies are definitely on an upward trajectory.

He got mad everyone hated his friend Jimmy Serrano so they went and started their own board.

Wasn’t Kenya the lead recruiter for Javonte ???

Does Kenya’s illness effect this situation?

Was Kenya the lead on the bigs we’ve whiffed on? Just asking.

 

[AdamaNation]

Hunter being out has to hurt us here. I’m sure the selling point was hunters ability to develop bigs. Now there’s a huge question mark as to what is going on and when/if he’ll be back.

Love the sub line!!
Free bk!!!!

 

[nomar]

Good god that is amazing

Dude quit the internet over frowny faces, after claiming he dgaf, because he’s afraid for his family

How do you come back after that lol no way @tzznandrew will be the only one if/when he returns. Hats off to you by the way my dude, you don’t see an alleged grown man break down and flee the internet over message board content very often

...although you never really did anything, which I guess is the true beauty of it all

@tzznandrew actually spent half a year's income to hire a Chinese click farm.

Can we please just lock this thread and be overjoyed that Chief is finally gone???

 

[krinklecut]

I'm no Chief apologist, but I'll admit I'd be very weirded out if someone went back and disliked all of my posts.

I would find it hilarious. It's a frowny face and some dude took hours to do that and it worked lol. Go dislike all my posts, why on earth should I care?

 

[krinklecut]

Because it's creepy as f*:k.

is it though? is some dude trolling and hitting dislike creepy? for real?

 

[Huskybass]

is it though? is some dude trolling and hitting dislike creepy? for real?

Thousands of times, yes.

 

[auror]

Thousands of times, yes.

If you were a random normal poster and someone randomly started disliking all of your stuff, I could see that as creepy.

But if you're a poster that deliberately seeks attention at all times through self aggrandizement, eponymous naming, and replying to every post that even remotely mentions you while encouraging a celebrity following, you can't be freaked out when someone deliberately gives attention, albeit negative, to all of your posts. To be honest, it's a strong, astute bit by @tzznandrew.

 

[formerlurker]

If it makes anyone feel better I dislike all of you and most people in general.

 

[intlzncster]

Was Kenya the lead on the bigs we’ve whiffed on? Just asking.

No. He wasn't targeting any of last year's guys iirc.

 

[The Viking]

Regarding Kenya- from what I've heard from sources I trust, this wasn't a long-term thing, this was a sudden thing. I believe Kenya may have been at practice as recently as Saturday or Sunday, going balls to the wall.

Then he wasn't feeling well.

So bringing this back to the recruit in question, if Javonte Brown Ferguson picks Texas A&M over us, it won't be because of the health of Kenya.

 

[uconnbill]

These things always come in threes. First Serrano, then Whaler, and now Chief.

Didn't Whaler just retire to spend time at Arby's?

 

[Bonehead]

He got mad everyone hated his friend Jimmy Serrano so they went and started their own board.

I'd bet you $5000 that your reasoning is wrong here.

 

[GemParty]

Backup plan- we got one.
Richie Springs +15 in muscle.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Didn't Whaler just retire to spend time at Arby's?

He's doing financial modeling for the wealth tax while using the free wifi.
Put your money on it.
And I miss him.

Either way, I really want this to be true.

Everyone here is a random normal poster and a real live person. Chief does much less to draw attention to himself than the anti-chiefers do. Yes, we should all avoid being butt hurt by a message board, but tzznadrew hasn't posted anything here in ages. So for him to come out of lurker mode to do this is indeed a bit psycho. If you don't like someone's posts in general, just ignore them.

As for Javonte I don't know where he'll end up. I think it's still at UConn but clearly Buzz is putting the effort in to get him. In the end, he's a Canadian kid and we have a clear spot for him, good Bigs coach, and provide a chance for his family to see him play more easily. He seems a thoughtful kid, and I think he's smart to take his time.

Or use the Dislike option that has been provided. To each their own.

No, that's childish. If you dislike everything they post, then you aren't thinking or reading you are reacting to them personally and not based on what they said in that particular post.

 

[Bonehead]

Opinions are like armpits...

Your initial premise was to ignore posts you dont like. Now you are stating disliking everything. Which is it??

Is there any scenario where the dislike is acceptable for you? I bet there is.

 

[Rico444]

Some would say that talking about yourself in the third person and trying to take credit for every recruiting decision because of vague posts is childish, too.

This whole situation is a rorschach test. Those that like chief think what @tzznandrew did is weird or creepy, and those of us that aren't a fan of the guy think it's hilarious. To avoid yet another thread being derailed by chief, we should probably just accept that and move on.

No, the premise is to ignore posters you don't like. Dislike posts you don't like. Use dislike thoughtfully based on the content of the post, not who said it.

 

[HuskyFich]

Y’all are crazy. Grow up.

Just take away likes and dislikes and let people read for information if frowny faces are going to destroy your confidence and moral high ground.
