Interesting little stat. Obviously, the open portal isn’t going anywhere, be I’ll be interested to see what that trend line looks like when the Covid year cycles through and 24 year olds aren’t playing against 19 year olds.

If I’m 64 year Mike Brey and had the choice between Pepperdine and Georgetown, there is no conversation to be had. Wouldn’t get within smelling distance of that dumpster fire at Georgetown. They can’ recruit DMV kids. They can’t get kids into school. No freaking thank you. Now, it might take a minute, but Pepperdine could be a really good final gig.

A UK guy I know (can't bring myself to call a UK fan a friend, lol) said that CJ Frederick and Sahvir Wheeler were doubtful tonight.  I went to Rupp Rafters to see if there was any chatter about it (after Lunardi stated he thought UK wouldn't make the Tourney, UK fan reactions are priceless). There is a thread about it, and I'm so sorry I even read it. They ran the gauntlet from sexism to ageism to racism to verbal abuse of players/people to homophobia/transphobia.  So thankful for fans who know restraint (in general, lol) on this board and the mods, as well as HSN, which is run in a similar style!

Someone will hire him, but it's being dropped just bc the gal backed off charges....

It’s their guards. Seems like their bigs are getting incarcerated at a lower rate.
