I’ve flown into White Plains to beat the chaos of the big airports. You can catch the train into the city easy there.

Yes, but many of us - definitely me - said dumbass things when we were 20. The parable of the prodigal son still has meaning.

O hope we go ahead and sign Rylan. From what I gather, Coward was a big NIL package, and Duke pays more than almost anyone else, so I’m not confident about him.

I’m 72 and can affirm that you are right.

Why the hell would he need to visit?
To meet team members he doesn’t know and to talk business with Oats and Murphy.

Colleges should do exactly what the NFL and NBA do. Hire players with contracts that have salary caps, free agency time lines, all the restrictions a professional contract has. The Nfl and Nba do not get sued.

Right. And freshman signee 6’6” Davion Hannah can do all that and play tough defense. Amari Allen too. We do need another point/ combo guard, but those two freshmen can get to the hoop and score.
re: Labaron Philon declared for the draft
Posted by AbSnopes on 4/14/25 at 3:17 pm
Philon and Petiford are both late 1st/ early 2nd round picks. Both are really good but likely will play a few years in the G league before moving up to the big league- like JD Davison just did.

Vols were right not to pay $4 mil.
re: Nico had a contract with UT, right?

Supposedly contracts are coming with the House settlement. Of course, for every contract there is a law suit.

infers you are paying these guys for their value as a commodity
You are right about that. I was thinking in terms of their doing ads for businesses. Supposedly the House settlement will require documentation of services to receive NIL pay. We’ll see.

If the numbers they’re talking about are true I’m glad we didn’t get him,
The owner of the Utah Jazz is buying players for BYU. He paid Dybantsa $7 million+. No way we pay that. Wright supposedly got $3.5 million. No way either does any legitimate work for that money. The House settlement is supposed to require accounting for all NIL money. We'll see.

Philon will get drafted. I would not count him in. Wish we could, but…

I think Kentucky does lose Robinson. He was a senior this year and I think played too many games to get a medical redshirt.

The guy predicting Rylan’s return is not a troll. May or may not be right, but…

Yes. Good point BigBird. Broome is a post player who can drain threes. I was thinking more of Lendeborg playing mainly on the wing than inside like Broome.

Cal brought the whole 5 star Kentucky roster to Arkansas after Jerry Jones offered to double what Kentucky was paying them.

[quote) Having said that, Auburn with Broome's success will likely be more appealing[/quote]
Lendeborg though would not be mainly an inside guy like Broome. He would play a stretch 4 or 3 spot. He is a really good player.

re: Why does the SEC Network allow “The Finebaum Show”?
Posted by AbSnopes on 4/1/25 at 2:35 pm
Finebaum exists so that Yankees can listen to rednecks holler at each other and thus verify their negative stereotypes about the South.
