I really hope that Barrel Rick's avatar is his drivers license picture. I'd feel better about my own.

A class of Mullins, Sisley and Grady would be excellent. I still believe in BR. In terms of roster construction, I hope we only need 5 total faces to get to 12 next year. Goode gets his 5th year, Reneau and the guards return and we only lose Mgbako and the Super-Seniors. We go to the portal for two bigs. If Reibe goes to Kansas I suspect Bidunga would be obtainable. I think our approach is changing, slowly with recruiting.

Hurley has put 5 perimeter players in the NBA in 2 years, and tells a kid in a whirlwind courtship he can be in the NBA in 10 mos. I was all for him going to the best fit, but after the Adam's add I would take a hard pass. Proximity in this case should win out.

Herb Williams, Granville and Clark Kellogg.....I remember those three.

Anyone have a clue what Sisley's NIL deal was?

I know Pete Yonkman is our unofficial CEO and GM. I know that they want to give Woody every possible advantage to win. It has come with a list of expectations. I don't know if Ol' Pete is uber competitive too or he just wants to have a clear conscience if he has to fire Woody. Either way the NIL has more than tripled since Parker Stewart, Kopp and Durr. I think it's starting to turn into the old Southwest Conference in football if you're willing to pay a kid 1.5 mil and give his parents whatever just to stay home. 1.5m,,,we got our new back court for that. Yeah, we're doing an awful lot just to avoid firing a legacy coach.

Has Jordy been Barrel Rick this whole time?

Did the Grandpa figure look anything like Barrel Rick?

I'm impressed with the recruiting efforts. Hunter jumped in and made us legitimate contenders for Reibe when we lost Moreno and now we are a serious player for Grady after losing Haralson. I'm not sure who the primary is on his recruitment but I suspect it's Walsh. I think what I would say to Mullins about UConn is, "You're not going to be playing on either of the national championship teams there you'll be playing on a team that just recruited over your position." Stay home and be a legend. I'd love to see us land the best shooting class in the country.

Of the three teams. I'm confident that IU will be the most successful this year.

This guy has a reputation for being really scrappy. He's a true 3. I think in a 4 out with a high level play maker at point Sisley and Grady would be exceptional together. Very similar dispositions and would be 4 year contributors that would set a culture. IF We landed a class of Sisley, Mullins, Reibe and Grady we could have the best shooter in the country at 4 different positions. Sign me up.

Reibe's name came out with us being a serious contender a couple of weeks before Moreno committed to Kentucky. Is this one of those situations?

I think the fall break will be to our advantage.

I look at the rankings occasionally and find myself looking to see how many kids between 10 and 30 are from Georgia.

2 weeks?
