re: Nice SI article about Nabers' stock rising after awesome pro day
Posted by atltiger6487 on 3/28/24 at 2:48 pm
who cares what some sportswriter thinks? Nabers had a phenomenal year, is recognized as one of the top receivers in the nation, and will get drafted high and sign a multimillion dollar contract.
All this other nonsense is just noise. Ignore it. ...

My emotional attachment to college sports (particularly football) has been greatly diminished the last few years. The players are mercenaries now.

[quote]It’s going to take him a good five years to clean up the mess left by Wade. [/quote]basketball doesn't take years to turn around. It's a small roster and you only need one stud with other good role players to be very good.

re: Efton Reid weight
Posted by atltiger6487 on 3/14/24 at 9:47 am
Reid had a solid year at Wake Forest. Averaged 9.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.3 blocks per game.
Tangentially, this is his third team in 3 years. I hate the transfer portal (at least what it's become), with immediate play and no 1-year sit required.
Every player is a free agent every year. ...

[quote]Stupid questions are not “opposing viewpoints.”[/quote]who gets to decide if a question is "stupid?"
See my point? A stupid question to you might be an intelligent question to me - and vice versa.
The solution is simple: let people ask what they want and let the coaches answer.
