Rico got a reaction from pappy1865 in Daily MLB Banter
Watched the Cubs/Cards this afternoon. I hope that Cubbies' defense today was just an aberration.

Yeah, I'm late to the party but I'm still excited to talk with the guy.
Meanwhile PFW is running away from Norfolk State in the CIT Championship.

Brutal for high point. Up 1 gave up a 3 and after the 3 they get hit with a hook and hold Seattle hits both and gets ball and then scores on an in bounds play. High Point was up 1 and after all that was down 6 with 1:36 to go

Teams trading shots. Seattle just buried a 3 to go up 2 with 1:36 to go. CBI championship is delivering

Rico reacted to Stuhoo in Fire Coach Woodson
Apparently he’s cooking. Guessing Bryson Tucker is on the menu, and at least one really tasty portal menu item.
It may be that the undisputed king of late commit five stars is striking again.

Chris is from around my parts. He's not going anywhere, except maybe Duke. He's home, treated well, doing great things at NW (for NW). He's Pat Fitzgerald 2.0.

Replying to you because I am not trying to platform this dude and you know he probably loves seeing his tweets regurgitated here. This whole "money others cant match" take is just so ludicrous it is hard to fathom. We need 7 players. All are going to need to be paid. A team like UNC or UK or Kansas does not need 7 players. Simple math says we could not have outbid Kansas for Dickinson as an example. He is worth "max money" on the open market in CBB, and he did not even do that, Kansas was not his highest offer, he took less money...To play for Bill Self on a good team. These teams have as much money as we do, and coaches who do not even need it in some cases. . The only players we are going to outbid for are ones the top of the pool are not going after. Anyone believing we could pay like 1.5m or more and outbid another high major basketball school is delusional. Hell, outside of the lottery, late first round rookie money is only around 2.5 a year. This is insanity.

Collins has done a good job at a very tough place to coach.
Some were saying it was time to move on from him after the 2021-2022 season but then they made the tourney the next two years. Good for him.

The most sickening thing to me about all these burners on Twitter is not that they are looking for reason to be hopeful (I do too, most fans do) but the fact they're genuinely giddy about everyone else being "proven wrong" when Woody lands recruits. Fielding a full roster is not making a statement or proving anyone wrong LOL and the fact they are so sure that everyone else is overreacting (as opposed to them doing mental gymnastics to justify everything), to the point of being downright combative... is unfortunate. I'm sure they'll say they are responding in kind, and I get that negativity can feel overwhelming at times, but you cannot escape reality even if you don't want to hear it. Hopefully they're enjoying constructing their own version of reality. Frankly unless we go to a F4 next year, they are the ones who will be dead wrong and ironically, the same people crapping over message board people and "blogger boys" will have been doing what they mock others for - getting their hopes up over a different group of people acting like "insiders" ... (Lord help whoever buys what NGW is selling).
This is the same thing IUBB always does, because it's become a toxic relationship for a lot of fans and people are caught in that cycle. There is no way to ignore the fact Woodson poured an accelerant on the flames by being divisive with his "true fans" comment.
A lot of fans on Twitter are acting like fielding a team in itself is a win or that we're just a few pieces away from winning it all. Celebrating the idea of recruiting wins in the portal is more exciting to them than getting it done on the court. People say it's never as great or as bad as it seems but IUBB feels like it is in a really, really awful place right now. A few good players next year does not change that.
