Walking Boot of Doom

So funny. So sad...

LSU the winner here in my mind. They had nothing to lose, and now they’ve hedged a bet that the NCAA doesn’t have the cajones to hurt them if Wade did anything wrong. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That’s... odd. If you’re innocent, you make no concessions and sue. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Hate to say it, but this is exactly right. Not commentary on Romeo, but we saw what difference even an elite player makes. It's all hit or miss, and college basketball is way more dependent on the team structure and culture than any one player. I really like our incoming class from a class balance and structure perspective despite the low ranking which everyone has chosen to pick at. Quinones would be gravy - however I still don't want to touch IMG regardless of the player.

Love this and your subsequent points. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It’s been said a million times Holtman didn’t want the heat and buying people to convince them to do something they didn’t already want to do is a guaranteed failure. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Romeo helped conduct the visit. That’d be difficult to neg. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Wish we did as well - good luck elsewhere. Not really sour grapes, but Indiana is all set without him with Ramsey, Penix, and Tuttle. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Literally never report. Why do schools even report anything? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Thats so odd. Never would have guessed. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I normally agree, but then I watch Landry Shamet drill a game winning three in a playoff game against arguably the greatest NBA team ever. There’s room for players like Devonte if they have the work ethic. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Miami was 14-18 on the season. Recruits don't pick schools because of their record.

I’m not expecting anything either - my point was we’ve already assumed we’re out of this, so this is nothing but positive. There’s definitely a domino effect lining up, and Indiana is a potential landing spot for Watford or Quinones depending on how things fall. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

How do you even know that? You know literally nothing about what is happening behind the scenes. Can we stop pretending like everything is crystal clear? CWat is going to be there, it’s an in-home visit, and he’s committing end of next week. Lots of positives in the face of all the negative context that it seems we’ve been out of this for whatever reason. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Lack of preparation? Lol. They weren’t practicing all year? Aight. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Still, interesting that everyone else of his caliber seems to announce they’re entering the draft and hiring an agent. He only announced he’s entering the draft. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

To be fair, this is accurate in hindsight. I don’t know that serious precedent had really been set back then. It’s very clear now having watched all of these scandals that you deny deny deny. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Romeo has not hired an agent, correct? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That’s really cool the CWat does that kind of thing! What a good dude. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Why? So we make the dance this year and then the impact guy leaves and we have to get another one year loaner? No. Archie needs to make long term investments in building the program. Going to the tournament is great, but what the hell does it matter if we’re not built for sustained success. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Give me: Beverly Top Grad Transfer Windham Any grad transfer Bank the scholly Lester is going to be eyeing his first chance to get to the league. I don’t like any of the IMG business. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I don’t think next year’s roster “gets it done” either. But I don’t think that should dictate any scholarship offers. If we can land immediate impact grad transfers - great. But I’d also prefer to invest the scholly in a four year kid that fits what Archie is trying to do. I’m out on the Lester kid. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Exactly like Romeo and still feel that way. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
