I'm not sure that's true. Yes, more elite guys prep school travel ball. But AAU is considered pretty terrible for player development. It's why you're seeing more skilled European players dominate the NBA, even though they lack the athleticism of Americans. AAU doesn't teach team basketball. And that doesn't even count the burnout factor.
It really sucks we didn't land Mikel Brown. He's a fricking badass PG. It's insane what he's doing to Kentucky as a freshman. Him with Labaron would've been absurd.

That said, we still might have the best guards in the country.

KP rankings right now are almost entirely based on preseason predictors, which really didn't favor us because of all the roster turnover and losing Sears and Nelson.


That, and they really don't like a couple of our key guys. Here's from Torvik, which is pretty similar.



They underrated the hell out of Bol Bowen, Sherrell, and Amari. And they think Bathea is pure garbage.

Here are some of the other current stats.






Well, it definitely cannot be a Watford situation. Because now we can counter a strong arse offer.
The guards matchups be Purdue are gonna be fun as hell to watch. But if they don't get Trey Kaufman-Renn back for Thursday, we should win that game.

Now that is the perfect username for you. Thinking Philon is too short to play guard at 6'4" hilarious. He keeps playing like the last 2 games, and he's gonna work his way into a lottery pick.
I remember back in 2006, I was living in Gainesville, FL. I went to a bunch of Florida games that year, because I could easily get free tickets. I remember mid season, telling a friend, "if this is the #3 team in the country, then it's a sad state of college football."

They win the national championship that year with Chris Leak and freshman Tebow. We almost beat them with Shula that year in Gainesville.

So no. OP needs to quit being such a pussy. Teams have bad games, nobody is deep anymore, and we just played a rivalry game (where anytime can happen). It's not the strongest team we've had, but we're still contenders.

It's not great for individual games. At best, you gotta look at it over a long time.

Big time team win. Someone analyze how our two bigs played. Sherril and Noah in particular. I thought most of the new comers played great

It's Fox Sports and they have a Big East contract. Of course they're going to slob St John's knob.

He definitely can't hang with the bruising big men. He's slow as hell laterally. I think the young un is gonna be more than just 5 fouls. Getting Collins last minute was a blessing.

I was in the middle of midtown Mobile and I could pull a signal from rabbit ears to save my life. And it was a decent powered antenna. I swear, they've turned down the signal power vs 20 years ago.

I'm still rolling with Directv so I have no issues, but I wonder how difficult it would be to use these little pirate boxes people suggest. We have 3 TVs at the house we'd want to watch games on.


If you're looking to get a vsee box, there's a couple people here that have recommended them. But having done some basic research on Reddit, people who issue are recommended to contact their reseller, and a lot of posts asking for good resellers. So it sounds like you want to be careful where you're buying it from. Maybe some guys here can steer you to someone reliable.

But I just don't see the point in paying $350 for a $50 box with software preloaded. Free sports feeds are easy to find. But I pay $3-4/month for a bootleg cable deal (technically, all digital cable, legal like YouTube TV or pirated, is called an IPTV).

I think it's worth it setup your own box. You save hundreds per box, and I'm at the point I can set one up in 20-30 minutes.

Things also get shut down. These boxes aren't going to work forever. I've lost count of the number of websites, apps, and IPTV services I've seen shut down over the last couple of decades. And if the word is out on something, it inevitably becomes a target. The smart ones disappear before they get raided.

For 3 TVs, you could get 3 solid devices, lifetime use of best IPTV player on up to 5 devices, and a year on an IPTV for like $250 instead of $1000. And you can stream every movie or TV show made on them for another $40-50/year. But, you can still just get a $50 box and install free apps. But the pay ones are usually higher quality. But I've also seen great free feeds too.
Is that ULM coach the only coach with a winning record against Saban while at Alabama? I can't think of anyone what who would.

To Penn St's credit, they dealt with 11 heard of mediocrity.

Yo ho ho. Just get a $20-45 Onn box from Walmart. The main difference between the boxes are how fast they run. The $45 also has a remote finder feature. They're honestly worth it even if you're just running Netflix or Disney+.

Install 'Downloader" browser from the Google Play store. And you can use that browser to install whatever apps on your streaming box.

Looking at it right now, it has 48 football games scheduled (2 of them Canadian football) through Saturday and 130 basketball games just for today. But with basketball, it's also Euro league (got to watch Big Cliff's team yesterday), Russian, Finnish, Estonian, German, Latvian, and NBA.

I use a version where someone removed all of the ad stuff and other bullshite. So I don't even go to the actual site.

Here are some download links. They're only good for 24 hours, so after 1030 Saturday morning, don't bother trying.

This is a download link for Android phones:

Here's a link for Android TV devices or smart TVs.

Here's the setup guide for Android TV devices. But in downloader, instead of the download code in the guide, enter the tiny url address exactly as it's typed above.
