Irritated the hell out of me when people suggested Coach K retired because he wanted no part of the cesspool landscape NIL created.

Uh, not buying it. He wanted no part of a more level playing field. Other schools getting the same benefits that Nike provided Duke the past decade+ was a huge threat to him.

Same thing with Roy Williams.

No doubt!

Let's stay close for what one maybe two years?  Tell that to an NBA exec.

Sorry guys, he can only sign a contract with the Knicks or Brooklyn because of his grandparents.

Sheesh!

That’s an interesting article…Ron says throughout…”when schools call I tell them to talk to my wife, she makes the decisions” then at the end says well I told him I stayed local so family could watch and he should do the same…so basically I want to act like I have no part in it but still tell him what to do

I think it’s 1. Rutgers 2. Duke and Indiana in some sort of punchers Chance standing right next to my man Slim2None.

Now, if someone gets Ace Bailey to de-commit it all changes.

Rutgers possibly getting the 2 top rated players in the class is just bonkers.   Shocked still they got Ace Bailey.

Retweet.  I guess we can be thankful both are 1NDone and then hopefully Rutgers luck has run out.

If it were me or my child, I would want a school that has a legit chance to do something in the NCAA tourney. Now, if Rutgers looks like that team so be it. I just don't think Rutgers will be that kind of team.

With Bailey and Dylan Harper, Rutger looks like a team that has a legit chance to do something in the NCAA tourney

There is a tweet going around that Dylan trolled Indiana on his visit photos doing poses that Ron did in his wins. Good grief, that’s rough.

 

Rutgers moves up my list of disliked schools when they get Dylan.

If that's true, it's a pretty D-bag move on his part.

Yeah, it's hard to say, maybe it's a coincidence.  The 2 poses on the tweet are the bow/and crossed armed with photos of Ron to compare.  I've never seen a player do the bow in one of those recruit photo-ops but who knows.  As far as I know, he didn't do the big balls pose that ron popularized.  LOL

I think it was more of an homage to his brother and what he did at the place Dylan was at the time.  Sort of an "I'm bringing that same type of energy to where I go" type of thing.  Would be very strange to blatantly troll a school you bothered to put in your top 3 while on a visit at that school, although it could be taken that way.

This is where I stand....people trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.  He did those to show respect to his brother.  If IU thought it was a troll job they wouldn't have taken the picture.  I would even guess maybe some of the photographers even said hey give me this pose like your brother, etc...
