https://x.com/TiptonEdits/status/1830643351626076368 Committed to Ohio St. Was always 1 of those offers in name only. Goes to high school like 5 mins from the campus.

Wow, that is a really good comp. Bravo

This Mich St- Florida Atlantic game is…..awful. A minute into the 2nd qtr and there’ve been combined 3 to’s and a safety. 2-0 MSU.

Solid comp

My favorite example is Payton Pritchard dropping a hundred in the Portland summer league. The difference between those guys and even really good HS and college players is the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing it:

So you were in a Costco in south Florida? Tell me, how many grannies did you have elbow out of the way to get to a deal that choice? In my experience they are relentless.

The family of a 5-star ‘26 QB committed to Tennessee is suing in North Carolina because apparently it’s 1 of 11 states in the country that doesn’t allow HS kids to profit from NIL without forfeiting eligibility. My favorite part is that it only applies to public school kids. Private school kids? Profit your a$$es off.

As on court product goes I agree, for the most part. Putting the shear basketball piece aside, de facto college free agency has changed what most players mean to programs. But I still feel like there are some kids that for different reasons just matter more. Not solely for their talent, but also for what they say about the program and the public perception that they feed. You can't miss on those kids. My all-time example is Greg Oden. Davis couldn't miss on him. Just couldn't. Didn't matter what it took. He missed on him and he went from embattled coach to dead man walking. If he signs him he's not gone in '06. Archie wasn't everyone's guy, but he got a massive boost from signing Langford, which he of course squandered. Not saying Haralson is a comp to those guys, though if he'd stayed at Fishers and won a State he might be close, but he's a big-time local kid with a spectacular offer list that they've put years into. Missing on him just looks bad. That, and I think he's fantastic. I think he's good enough to be a top 2 option on a final 4 team. Long way of saying: Woody, make this happen, please.

Mitchell is an appointment watch this year. I will find my way to Evansville at some point.

Visiting the weekend of 9/13-15, per Rabby.

Jasper Johnson is announcing 9/5 from among UNC, Bama and UK. He’s announcing from his old HS which is maybe 20 mins from Rupp, which certainly feels like a tell. Not saying you wouldn’t take both him and Mullins, of course you would, but contrary to the way he’s often portrayed, Johnson is not a PG. He’s very much a scoring guard and the fit between the 2 might be a little weird, even in a system as open as that one.

For anyone who’s got Trilly’s premium discord they’re chatting up CTC tonight at 7. Imagine he’d be great in that sort of environment.

https://x.com/T_Oglesby22/status/1828045443361575066 Check his comments. You can always spot the guys who’ve never actually seen Xavier Booker play.

Assuming this year isn't a disaster, everything to me screams Cowboys HC next year. Jones would love the show. Dak's in the last year of his deal and Prime's already said he's gonna dictate where his kid lands. Unless McCarthy makes the NFCCG I think he's done.

https://x.com/JonRothstein/status/1828081199694090298 Sounds promising

Yeah, the bison feels pretty jammed down our throats, though I don’t hate it. But I will always hate the big flat brim.

https://x.com/SheriffWoodson/status/1827890576332648706 If you had just described it to me I would have thought thumbs up. But actually seeing it, not so much. Thoughts?
