I'm sure KU will get some of that good ole Phog magic soon.
That is exactly what it is, but still Bama should not be struggling with that meager cupcake.
I said what I said, lol, seriously though nice close by KU overall.
When I say big games I'm talking top 10 teams. The only teams that matters that you mentioned is duke, Tennessee and Marquette.
That’s just stupid. Rankings change all year. You schedule way ahead of any of that. Whine about Duke which never plays tough teams on the road.
Should they be struggling, no. But Arkansas State is not a cupcake, they're a borderline top 100 team who is the favorite to win the Sun Belt
That doesn't mean anything. First of all preseason predictions have some value but largely should be taken with a pound of salt. Secondly when has a Sun Belt team done anything of significance besides James Madison last year and maybe Georgia State when they had Ron Hunter as coach? They are cupcake, especially in comparison to what Alabama has. If they beat Memphis later this season or they produce a stellar W-L record, then I will reconsider that label.
Deep pockets, he is one of the top Euro prospects for his age group. Him and the Lithuanian playing for Illinois didn't come cheap.
Yeah he was very well known. He was on Real Madrid's (top Euroleague club) B team and got called up to the A team once or twice. After the Adidas Next Gen tournament in May, which his team won over Nolan Traore's team and he had 26/11/6 in the championship game, he stated he'd go to college and BYU paid up. Rumored NIL of 1.5 million, including like 600k as a buyout to Real Madrid. So personal NIL probably in line with similar top players, but the buyout pushed it into "deep pockets only" range.
But you're using cupcake in a way that nobody does. Cupcakes are the games that you're expected to win by 40+ and are the bottom ranked teams. They're not the solid mid majors on the schedule. That's the only thing I was calling out, everything else you posted is just nonsense moving the goalposts
