If several contacts give out the same misinformation, wouldn’t it seem coordinated?

No because monkey see monkey do. They don’t want to be left out so if someone reports it might as well throw it out there in case it is right.

This is a bet for RTZ, thanks.  People that have info on what’s gonna happen would bet on it, btw…

Then they are foolish imho - why would you ever undersell yourself to the odds that much? Never let your ego get you into a bad deal imho.

 

*RTZ doesn't strike me as foolish by the way

Creighton looks very good. I can’t believe no one has been advocating for McDermott (dws @Uspshoosier

Liam looks very good too. Wonder how he would have done here. My guess is that he would not have had the freedom he has at UCONN

Fwiw I heard we didn’t interview him.

It’s still been an abnormal amount compared to years past 

Especially considering the Celtics have 1 late first round pick and it’ll probably end up going to an international player that they don’t have to bring over immediately bc of their salary issues. And 1 second round pick. That’s a lot of scouting for probably a second round pick.

@BGleas if I remember correctly you played Bball at the D2 level right?  What are your thoughts about McCollum making a jump from D2 to Drake to a P4 school?   I watched his game against Duke on YouTube yesterday and was impressed with how his D2 team played.

I look at it this way. He’s either a done deal or it’s not happening. I don’t think he is still mulling it over. So until we hear the announcement, I’ll play the hopeful game that they are just waiting for the right time. But I’m not going to be disappointed if it’s not him unless we really settle on someone, say, because they are from Indiana.
I agree with this. I think it's done or we've moved on. Too little of chatter for me to think it's not already done.

BetOnline finally posted some Brad odds, +5000 right now, or 50/1 or 2%.

The folks with the Brad sources should like these odds!

Dang it may put$50 on it - never mind my previous requests on this board :)

Can anyone with info give any sort of explanation why we refuse to reach out to Will Wade?

@Demo did a good job of summarizing the answer to this very question earlier this week:

What did Wade do that was so bad? Just made a couple strong @$$ offers.  (Which is now legal).

And then got caught, lied to the school and to the NCAA investigators, hence the show cause, and then barely made any effort at all to appear contrite because he wasn’t. He’s an amoral POS and I don’t want him anywhere near a program I root for because he’s gonna get busted for something else, my guess in the current environment would be something academically related but it won’t shock me if it’s more along the lines of a Steve Alford/Pierre Pierce sort of thing if the player’s good enough.

I would be happy with McDermott, that would be a solid hire that would have us ranked more often than not
