re: Paging 357, WBB signing day news?

Tigerbait357 11/6/25 at 6:19 (addressed in the wbb recruiting thread:
quote:

No official date but been speculation it could drag out until spring of next year which is wild considering she only visited 3 schools and hasn’t planned any more visits


We will lose seniors G/W Flaujae, PF Joyner, and G Gilbert, so it looks like as for as roster replacements, it’s G/W Jerzy Robinson or bust, from the recruiting ranks at least, now that PF Lola Lampley has committed.
(1974–6 y/o) My grandmother said “Shhh…watch the tv. The President is resigning.” (I had to ask what resigning meant.)

I have a visceral memory of Nixon sitting at his desk in front of some blue drapes on a colored TV, which is crazy cuz I have later memories of watching Hee Haw in b&w.
quote:

CJ just looks done.

I watched highlights of the Wizards game, and CJ got hot in the 4th qtr and helped them erase something like an 18 pts deficit to bring it to a tie. So, of course, with CJ hot, he gets the last shot of regulation to win it all, and...doink. Game goes to OT.

In OT, it remains a back & forth close game, and CJ takes the last shot to win it all or lose, and...doink. Of course.

Reminds me of our Pels Talk suite game/meet-up a couple of years ago vs the Nuggets when CJ had a good game to take it down to the wire. But when you need CJ to come up clutch with the final shot, like we did, he semingly always let's you down, like he did. So, I don't know if he's actually done, or just doing business as usual.
Fulwiley 13p
Mikaylah 10p
Flau’jae 9p, 5a
ZaKiyah 9p
Koval 6p, 7r
Richard 5p, 5a

I don't know why people go after him.

Class warfare. Class envy. As old as time.

Please do not let the injury bug bite us this season. Stay healthy and I like our chances.

That's the key.

The depth of talent/skill is ubiquitous throughout. The line-up versatilty is seemingly infinite, whether gameplan matchups require high-low bully-ball or small-ball showtime.

However, any major injury in the post, particularly to 6-5 Koval, and the roster is left with only two 6-2 players (Joyner & Knox). Z Johnson & M Yarnevich are only 6-0.
Yeah, Fulwiley ended up with 21 pts, a career high 7 stl, 4 reb, 2 blk and 2 ast.

She is a playmaker on offense & defense.

Our closest neighboring star, Proxima Centauri, is a mind-boggling 25.3 trillion miles away. The fastest man-made spacecraft, the Parker Solar Probe (430,000 mph), would take roughly 7000+ years to arrive there.

The Milky Way is 588 quadrillion miles across its diameter. It takes the fastest thing in the universe, a photon of light, 100,000 years to travel from one side the galaxy to the other.

Those are incomprehensible numbers of our own galaxy. No sense even talking about the universe.

I’m also excited to see how the new AD handles basketball. Would love to see us get back to the tournament.

Yes, that would be nice. It's been a whil. But the main problem with mbb, that won't go away, is the one & done/bolting, if you are a player that's any good. Every year's roster could be as different as a jazz solo, even for a good coach.

OK State

Fun fact: OK is just another way to say mediocre.
I watch a lot of food reaction channels, and when Jollibee's fried chicken is included in one of the ten chains/fast-food taste-test tournament, I've yet to see them lose. We need a Jollibee's in NOLA stat to confirm the findings.

Also, when there is a vid that is introducing various preparations of wings to people that have never had or rarely had wings, the Korean wing style wins every time.
I wonder if Jerzy reacted to Lola's LSU announcement. (???) She was cheering on some Lola post after their joint visit here.

Can she play AD?

No. AD is with Dallas Mavericks now...and injured.
The ND talking heads said Kelly did that same crap in South Bend for over a decade, but no one said why he did.

It's pure speculation, but it's likely a control-freak issue. It's understandable if he didn't want bad influences from previous regimes around his teams, but everyone, even champions/winners/successful Tigers???

However, maybe his rumored difficulty in forming real relationships with staff & players also extends to alumni and he callously considers them all "outsiders". (???)
Yeah, the two biggest revelations for me from the first 2 exhibition games are 1.) Richard is a true PG facilitator with stout on-ball defense...

...and 2.) Zakiah Johnson's efficient post-play. I saw Z in one of the all-star games where she played guard/w, and she looked like a clone of Flau'jae. Fast-forward to now, and she has arguably earned the starting PF spot with a totally different game in the paint.

One other new face note: Bella Hines stated, last fall, that when she gets to LSU, she wants to break Poa's taking-charges LSU record. Sure enough, in two games so far, she's been knocked to the floor roughly 10 times. I've unofficially counted about 5 charges she's drawn. She has that knack, just like Poa did.

What's crazy is that we are all giving a sigh of relief that it's not $54M, ...yet it's still an absurd $27M.

If $27M is reasonable now, then Lanning's $20M buyout is a straight up bargain.
It was all a big misunderstanding. BK was simply a Glen Campbell fan:

"I am alignment for the county."
After watching Les Miles & Sean Payton coach here in south La. for roughly the same period of time, I definitely prefer a playcaller, and not a CEO.

1. Generally, the playcaller got the job mainly bc he is elite at playcalling one side of the ball. Generally, the CEO got the job bc he hired successful playcallers at his last job that may or may not follow the CEO to his new job.

2. When the team is great, the playcaller would only have to replace one coordinator opposite of him. System continuity in theory remains on the playcallers side of the ball. The CEO can theoretically lose both coordinators after every championship season, and the new hires in theory can both be abject failures.
