Bravo, Josh. This is a strong little speech right here.

Hadn’t thought about it quite like that. Can you imagine what Doncic would have done to East Bumphrey Nowehere St in some buy game in November?

Yup. As ridiculous as this sounds I’ll be interested to see how many more seasons of not winning Nattys with these absurd rosters Scheyer gets before he starts getting side eyed a little bit by the Duke money people, though as long as K’s alive he’s got total security.

No idea, but I think he might be a pretty tough pull. Watching his games he’s talented and I’d take him happily as a long term piece. But he’d probably be the 4th big in a bit of niche role next year, he’s not ready for 20 mins every night as the 1st big off the bench on a team that’s really good, and when an LSU has literally no roster and he can probably start there and be paid as a starter and a Seton Hall lost both their bigs it’s hard for me to picture this being perceived by him as his best option even if long-term it probably would be.

Would be funny if it wasn’t so gross.

Wild indeed. You’re gonna have 24yo Euros playing against 17yo Euros on American college campuses.

At IMG he was maybe their 10th guy and every time he entered the game against any team that wasn’t just cannon fodder for them they went 2-3 because he couldn’t defend any kind of movement at all. And he only played a couple of minutes because he’d gas out. God, what those UF bigs would have done to him in practice must’ve been brutal.

This is pretty wild. Don’t know anything about him other than he’s supposedly an uberprospect, but playing a full year at the absolute highest level of CBB as a 17yo seems a little nuts, though Quaintance did it at ASU and held up.

Agree except for the “for sure dominate” part. He’s never dominated at any level and he has major stamina problems.

Since all of these kids they’ve signed have multiple years of eligibility I assume that would have been the plan and, if so, love it. The 1 exception might be Harris if he looked at this as an opportunity to rebuild his market value. But even so, if he has a really nice year you’ve got the first shot to retain him. Man, it would be so cool if after a nice year next year all they lost was, say, Sherrell to the NBA, 1 of the current freshman to the portal and maybe 2 of the crack fillers they haven’t signed yet to graduation and with maybe a 3 man ‘27 class signed you’re only looking at a couple of spots with no glaring, “God, we’ve got to find that” type of needs. Wow, that sounds like an actual program. Or, they may have decided that PG, and Burton specifically, was that important and he was treated differently. We’ll see.

Would be curious if Sherrell’s deal is also 2 years or whether he’s planning to go to the League next year.

Fair point. They haven’t gotten anyone killed that we’ve heard about….yet.

Can’t think of a smarmier pair off the top my head. Not even close, really. And then for the sprinkles on top of that sundae throw in Kim Mulkey, who along with being awful is pretty clearly nuts and they’ve cornered the market on coaches to be ashamed of.

https://www.on3.com/teams/kentucky-wildcats/news/kentucky-mark-pope-meeting-marcio-santos/ Pretty gross if true. The “kid” will turn 24 before the season starts and Maccabi Tel Aviv is an elite program not some Latvian 4th division backwater.

Did you read about that deal? Apparently he signed his NIL commitment paperwork with KU the day before his UK visit and took the visit just to troll them. So, basically, the Dylan Harper/IU move. I’m down with UK being punked as much as the next guy but that kid’s an a$$hole and there’s a reason he’s been at a million schools.
