Why does Lathon still have eligibility? He played 4 years that wasn't 20-21, which is the year you were allowed to miss for Covid.

I think the goal is absolutely to not have to replace 8-9 players every year. This thing looks built to be really good when Fears comes and Morez is a sophomore.

Nah, Dan's post doesn't count

Didn’t she identify TSJ based on the colored end of a dreadlock?

Stop killing our dreams

The whole story has always bugged me a bit because I fully believe that something happened to this girl. I would like to think that the entire thing is not made up. But if she isn't even positive it was him how could a jury? How can the DA? Obviously, there are things we don't know about...

Put me in the camp of "has reasonable doubt"

It's not about proving anything anymore, its about where can you make the most money.

If it was ice cold we wouldn't even know about it.

I agree with this. You can't expect to fill the end of your bench in the portal because everyone wants playing time and money. Teams like us may be able to take another freshman development (obviously playing time and money would have to be less of a concern ala DGL). Jase Butler would have...

I've thought this was pretty clear for a while. There isn't room for Hawkins to be back with the guys they have been adding. Hawkins interview with Goodman and talking about not wanting to block guys who aren't expecting him to be there pretty much sealed it up for me.

These European pros need to retain "amateur status" by not receiving compensation in excess of expenses and possibly continuing class work. I'd imagine your example is a bit of hyperbole.
