[Captbluefin]

When @Matrim55 uses more than a winky face and @Zionn uses a dam pic, you know it's a good day.

AMEN to that!!

Someone once told me that IOWA was an acronym for Idiots Out Wandering Around -- on tractors.

Danny Hurley got out of his hospital bed, snorted the biggest line of coke ever and yelled "LETS GO RECRUITING" and ran off, ass hanging out of the back of his hospital nighty with IV pole and everything.

Tempted to dig up the comments on Jackson back when Cuse had the momentum.

 

[Ha Who]

If we get Jackson and Akok/AG stay for 20/21, we will literally be putting the cuses dream squad on the floor

In typical Jerry Meyer fashion, coat-tailing others.

So does he get credit for that in his crystal ball prediction percentage? weak

 

[Psolo12]

How can these guys just change their crystal ball picks when it seems like everybody knows what's going to happen and have it not hurt their crystal ball accuracy? Seems like a flawed system to me. If that's all it takes to be considered an "insider" for rivals or 247 I could do it.

There's a guy on the Cuse board saying since Jackson needs work on his jumper, he should "be smart" and go to SU because GMac made more threes in college than Hurley. I think he's serious.

hahaha. I'd ask if you are kidding but I'm sure you are not. That's a quality observation. Very Cuse-like.

Really plucked him from Syracuse's back yard. Unreal. Looks like October might be very sunny in Storrs after all.

Shouldn’t count our chickens yet. This kids recruitment is obviously still very fluid...but if we land him it’s an unreal recruitment job there were early reports that other schools didn’t bother recruiting him because they thought he was such a heavy cuse lean. He plays for a school that mimics Cuses entire playing style.

Leave that negativity in the locked thread

It doesn't affect their accuracy but it affects points. You get more "points" for how long before the commitment you had it

 

[CL82]

It says:

“Redrum”

You guys. We are clearly doomed.

@CL82 how are you letting these nerds get away this?

Wow. Time to go to the big guns:

You could just train a program to change your picks to what everyone else says whenever X% of the picks change to the same team. I would think they should have a point system to reward more to people who pick correctly the earliest EDIT: I see now that is the case, the system is alright

Or, alternatively, when it rains, it pours.

Brian Snow's eval of Jackson from May...Echoes what we've heard from posters who have watched him play:
An elite athlete with tremendous size and length for a big wing. Has very large wingspan. Can make things happen on both ends of the court. Should be able to play anywhere from the two through the four depending on the system. Very good rebounder and a good slasher, which allows him to be productive despite not having a consistent outside jumper. On defense he has the potential to be elite, guarding any number of different positions.

One thing that I noticed watching him is his pace of play, it’s just a notch faster than everyone else. Like he’ll grab a rebound and full on sprint the entire length of the court and dunk it. His passing is also not spoken about a lot but he’s a well above average passer for his size. He basically runs like a point forward type position for his high school team, like a poor man’s Lebron.
