I believe that is part of the joke.

Decades ago I read a write up on a Simpson's episode where one of the characters stepped on a rake and it hit him in the face twenty some odd times in a row.

The author of the write up said something along the line of "the first time was not really funny as it was an old joke. The second and third time had me thinking 'this is stupid' but as they continued it got funnier and funnier. By the time the approached twenty it was comedy gold and by the time they were done I was in hysterics".

The "Providence has as good a chance as anyone" line has reached the point where it is basically a mandatory response. The humor initially was in the line itself but now there is additional humor in its excess.

Fun story about that bit, it was literally only in there because the episode was too short and one of the writers suggested “more rakes”.

He has Flory Bidunga to Auburn. If that happens tomorrow, I’ll be sold. If it doesn’t, I’ll assume these predictions are mostly guesses—since conventional wisdom is he’s likely headed to Duke with Kansas as the runner up.

I don’t know what this person knows or doesn’t know, but public predictions flipped to Auburn over the last 24 hours.

He also did the Texas and WVU predictions for Cam Scott and Akok after their destinations seem to have become common knowledge.

To be fair, I kind of hate these types of recruiting accounts (including Slater and the other more well known ones). Let guys have their moments and stop swinging it around in some imagined contest.

Wow that was quick. I’m sold. He knows all.

Me, poke fun at the Friars? You are mistaken, sir. They are like the little engine that, well not could, but at least has a chance as anyone.

Figured I could get a two for. A laugh at Cuse and Providence.

What life? I'm talking a double sawbuck here.

That's a much more prudent wager than the one you quoted.

Then again, if you bet his life and lost, you wouldn't be out $20. Something to consider.

PS - I first heard "double sawbucks" a long time ago when it was offered for caddying a full round for 2 bags. A lot of money then.

I'm always most nervous about the Friars swooping in when they are not associated with a recruit at any point before his commitment. They are always lurking in the weeds.

Maybe they slip in and get Akok, leaving Cooley scratching his head. It could happen.

Would he then be the first ever to play for 3 Big East teams?

This Jacob guy seems to be right a lot, although when this is your mindset it's very easy to be right and not have any wrong Twitter predictions

Instead of recruiting Cane to UConn, he told him to go to Cincy. Now Cane, who is the Head Coach at Betsey's school, seems to be steering Betsey to Cincy.

Anyone coach that advises him to go to Cincinnati does not have Betsy’s best interest in mind. AAC is a terrible conference for basketball, and Cincinnati hasn’t made tournament in 4 years.

One has to admire the if I‘m right, I will promote myself but if I‘m wrong, I will act like it never happened approach.


It’s expected to be a relatively quiet next couple of weeks, with players home and some staff on vacation.
 
Not much new recruiting info, but it’s good to hear he’s playing well.

Betsey is the top-ranked player in the state and ranked 29th nationally in 247sports.com's2024 class. He has 27 college offers so far including bids from several blue-blood programs like Connecticut, Villanova, Duke and Kansas.

Betsey said he’s closer to choosing where he’ll play in college but is still undecided. His focus now, he said, is winning a championship at St. Thomas More.

Not sure how involved Nova is with this guy. I’d be surprised if he ends up at Nova .
 
Saw Betsey play Monday night at the GHPA Finals at Saint Joseph’s. His team lost but he was probably their best player. He definitely held his own against Vargas Chapman Woods who had a couple former D1 guys. Skinny but looks the part. The PA announcer didn’t give any insight about his college decision, kept saying he was down to 7 schools haha.

Also saw Betsey play in the Sunday loss to Vargas. I didn't know who he was until reading this column. His game is memorable with many made excellent three pointers especially in the first half of that game. He was playing beyond his age and one of the best players on the floor. He also has a nice presence and court awareness.

agreed. no one willingly wants to play mid major basketball.

thankfully between cincinnati and uconn only one of them plays in a league like that.
