Chief is probably grinding at the club in addition to his stellar recruiting
I’ll take best available. We need talent and guys willing to work and listen to Coach Hurley and staff
Hah, at least the 3rd point makes good sense.
Not spending much time in Spain I can’t vouch for the quality of their food.
With both Precious and Kofi the process started with Kimani having lots of influence and ended with him having not enough to make a difference. No knock on Kimani but that’s how it played out.
Just sounds so cliche. I love the French. Most of the bad rep French people get is because of Paris and even then my countless visits have been opposite of most. I found people in the NW of the country to be brilliant too, so kind, caring and giving, for example. I actually have more of an issue with some people from some Eastern Euro countries like Ukraine. Icy cold in my experience, buy hey, just like you, maybe I have limited experience with Ukrainians.
Yah, you aren't going to get a football sized burrito or a pizza larger than a tire or huge mounds of pancakes (or at least incredibly unlikely) but generally speaking the life style is healthier with high quality ingredients and not so many artificial ingredients. I don't get this argument. The average restaurant in France, Italy, Spain, etc. blows the large majority of places stateside out of the water. I like the usa in many respects (from a scenic perspective it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world) but a lot of areas are just food deserts or at least lacking in really solid, high quality restaurants. NYC of course being a great place for food and food diversity. I felt like Boston was catching up during my last visit.
Dr(sleep)Zzzz was the first to like a post talking about “Who’s sleeping?” I thought it was funny. I thought it was obvious enough, guess not.
My experience in an extended stay in France (mostly Paris) is that if you are civil (e.g., minding your vous versus your tu, although I understand it is less of emphasis this days, but also just general civility) and you actually take a shot at speaking the language, the French are as reasonable and friendly as anyone else. Parisians are notoriously brusque, but probably no more than New Yorkers. They also share the understated sarcasm that is typical of New England.
This must be the dead period when posters are doing metaphysical analysis of a 4 word post from chief. All he is trying to do is encourage you to not lose faith in the process. Trust Hurley and the coaches.
I'd be sympathetic to this if he wouldn't have later point to his post as evidence he knew a recruit was committing. Which he would have.
Frankly I predicted this thread weeks ago.
I agree especially since Chief put it all on Kimani missing out on Kofi and Precious.
I 100% agree with that and same with Kofi going to Virginia. As stated above our influence faded. I am not blaming Kimani as some think but we better understand this correlation going forward.
Doesn’t sound like “The Grind” but sounds like a great time.
Don't blame the player, blame the game. We lost both guys for the same reason. Most play checkers, some are playing chess. Checkmate. Every single time.
Over my head here......what was the chess move that got us beat??
Benefits homie, straight benefits. Illinois and Memphis offered something we we weren't willing to. They are playing a different game. This isn't new. I can spell it out further if you still don't get it.
