Yep, this setup is detrimental to kids. Throw in the football free agency, college sports are on borrowed time. Such a shame.



So is athletes/celebrities being treated like big shots. Pride and glory is highly diminished too. They're digging their own graves. There's a reason I don't watch golf or Nascar anymore. All the characters are old or gone. All that's left are empty personalities and assholes that I'm not wasting my time on.

He looks pretty interesting. Good size, and looking at his game logs, he put up pretty good points against tournament teams. Older guy that could provide good depth. One concern is that he doesn’t shoot many 3s.

Sadly all the change and getting older has meant less enthusiasm for football Saturdays.

Saw this on a Penn St site about his ability:

"Brockington had one of the highest mid range average in the conference, and was a killer in the open court. Teams knew he was going to go left, and still couldn’t stop him.... More than one announcer mentioned that they thought Brockington was the best guard in fast break situation, and getting to the rim."

Pearl wants ball handlers first,then hope they are good outside shots. Looks good.

So he’s Chris Denson

I trust Pearl, but a guy who shot .279 from 3 last year doesn't exactly give me the warm and fuzziest to replace a guy who was supposed to be our 3pt shooting specialist next year

Really sucks we can't hold onto an elite 3pt shooter considering Pearl showed how much he can win with that kind of play style

Man I forget about Denson sometimes, but he sure was fun to watch his senior year. Wasn't a lot to get excited about that season, but he was incredible at driving to the basket and finding a way to finish in traffic for his size.

I think this Brockington guy could be a good fit though. At this point if you bring in any more bonafide starters you just take the risk of running someone else of the roster. He started in the BIG10 and brings a lot of experience. Looks like he has good size, can help rebound and can finish on the fast break.

His shot definitely looks a little weird the way he hangs in the air and hold the ball above his head, but maybe he can work on it this year and ends up being a gamer. Definitely wish we could get another dead eye shooter, but we have enough good shooters on the team that we can have 1 or 2 get hot any night. I think this guy can definitely contribute off the bench, which is all we really need.

So should every American. Don't care if you like or dislike the players but what he did was commit treasonous acts by divulging Classified information to an enemy.

Bruce supports Israel and is Jewish. I'm not Jewish but I support Israel.

Plus Kerry is a traitor and the JCPOA is a bunch of garbage to create slush funds for politicians and help a terrorist country become a bigger threat to pull the war machine folks back into the middle east.

I wasn't trying to discount the need for a 3 pt shooter. You're right, I saw that too that this guy didn't have a good 3 pt avg, but he also didn't shoot that much from 3. Now whether that was the system he was in, or he is not confident in his shot, who knows.

But I wanted to show that if Pearl can't find a better 3 pt shooter, at least he is trying to get someone with height and can create his own shot and has a great ability to handle the ball. We didn't not have good ball dribblers or drivers without Sharife and Powell out.
