Yale and Stanford were in the mix when he was pretending to care about academics and before he narrowed his list to the likes of LSU and Western Kentucky.

Choosing LSU over Yale is effectively cutting his lifetime earnings by about 80%.

I am always surprised more lower tier 4 stars don't choose Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. This is entirely anecdotal but 2 of my AAU baseball teammates went to play at Harvard and Columbia, respectively. Harvard kid was a mid 11 SAT and Columbia kid was a high 12 SAT. They obviously would be instantly rejected if it weren't for athletics. And this is for baseball, aka who gives a . For a top basketball recruit, these schools are going to make huge allowances.

The broadcast team said that Yale was apparently in the mix for Waters. How much did LSU have to pay Tremont Waters to go there instead of Yale? I can't imagine why anyone would choose LSU over Yale for any reasons. If you get into Yale, you go to Yale.

They also said that his parents wanted him to have some lifestyle experience at LSU. Translation = $$

Enoch is still soft as a marshmallow and has no idea where to be on defense but anyone saying this kid would not have gotten as many minutes as he wanted on this team is insane. Our guys make him look like a young Patrick Ewing.

What??? You do realize he's a basketball player right?

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Don't count Yale out yet, unless your parents paid for you to get in there

Nobody is saying that.

Nobody is saying that.

They did, many did, and they were so, so wrong.

He is a 5'11 guard that, by the time he is in his early 20's, is going to have to make a living doing something other than basketball. Go to Yale.

 

[Marat]

XL Center seems pretty lively for the VT vs FSU game.

This is false but more talented kids should go Ivy. Tremont will make a lot of money playing basketball overseas.

Based on multiple anecdotes like this, I think Ivy coaches can go down to B grades and mid 1100's SATs.

I don't get why more kids don't go Ivy.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Nobody is saying that.

The last thing I'm going to do is go back and dig through posts but plenty of people were saying that, John.

He could do that from Yale. Hell, he could play in the NBA from Yale, if that's in his future.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

My dumb butt filled out 7 brackets and didn’t pick both Minnesota and LSU in any of them.

 

[Scoe]

FSU handle is looking very shaky but it just seems they get it into the paint they go to the line.

 

[BugsyCT]

Weird to see that NCAA floor at the XL.

 

[Scoe]

NM State you suck.

 

[whaler11]

It’s laughable how bad these coaches are. Pearl team was a 2 minute clinic on how to do everything wrong and that guy won the SEC.

 

[the Q]

NM State you suck.

How do you miss the rim by 5 ft when there wasn’t a defender within 15 ft?

 

[SL Husky]

New Mexico State . . . could have taken down Auburn and Bruce Pearl.

 

[Scoe]

I knew that kid would miss those fts.

New Mexico State . . . could have taken down Auburn and Bruce Pearl.

Vermont would've beaten them.

Bruce Pearl would've been in the CBS studio the next day lol.
