    This is not necessarily mutually inclusive to us being outbid by another suitor. It just merely means we are more judicious with our funds. The point of spending money is to generate more wins. At some point you reach a diminishing return, particularly for speculative players who's talent might...

    TSJ Thread

    Interesting to have someone like you chime in. How likely is it that a sample wouldn't contain even trace amounts of TSJ's dna in the event he even made some contact with her?

    He could sue the alleged victim for malicious prosecution. In theory he could sue the prosecutor as well but that's a much higher burden since they enjoy more immunity in these situations and TSJ would basically have to show that they went far beyond the scope of their duties. This usually only...

    This is a weak draft and I hope Coleman stays in it to leverage that. Albeit he could make more money next year in college but that's only 1 year and it doesn't guarantee he'll land at a good situation within the NBA that will see him as a more multi-year piece within their personnel.

    Kellogg MBA is not happening. Not saying he can't go to NU but Kellogg values work experience like no other. Even the law school only admits 6% straight from undergrad. If he wants to game the system, he might want to take a visit to Stanford or UVA.

    You gotta ignore the rankings and look at the programs recruiting him. He's clearly going up a level and people are selling him on a big role.

    Transfer rankings are terrible. I wouldn't put much stock in them. What's most important is how players are fitting within the overall roster and ability to provide an immediate contribution unlike prep recruits.

    That's just false. @FI_8905 disclosed this issue a week ago saying there's an assistant prolly headed out and didn't like the opportunities their recruits were getting.

    Beyond feeling like he owes them an opportunity, he owes it to himself to be viewed as a guy who will protect and lobby for his recruits. It's essential his coaching/credibility that is on the line is all his recruits get buried on the bench.

    You're missing on some stuff from db1headband and FI_8701 or whatever the numbers are. They all have a different way of presenting info but it's very apparent all are tied in.

    If domask doesn't get the waiver, I like Johnell Davis to replace him the best. I know he's not quite as big but he can still play with his back to the basket or just go get a bucket. Plus he's a more consistent outside shooter.
