Would love to see a random team draft Bronny just to force the actual intended team into a trade situation or risk loosing LeBron.

Man we're a paranoid bunch.

I think you're thinking of transfer portal rankings; I'm talking about team preseason rankings by Trotter on the 247 site...

I'm not sure how aware everyone is on the UCLA transfer portal successes, as a lot of the visibility was going to Muss and USC. The 247 crew just released their too-early B1G rankings and had UCLA as their number one team as things stand now. Seems like some are pretty high on how they've...

Cheaper than I expected, honestly

This one particularly feels like he's expecting monster things from the 25-26 team. Going to Birmingham this year is a no-lose situation with all the turnover this off-season. We win, great we're ahead of schedule; we lose, so what we're still gelling. Lining up Alabama in the UC the...

I'm reading way too much into this. We have three spots open, only adding one more still leaves us two open. Breadcrumb that someone is locked up already?

Eh, I get the commentary side of things and not liking the stance he took. The rankings side though, he's been very consistent that his rankings look at the resumes and not who's hot at that moment. We didn't really collect many Quad 1 wins until late in the season (more over the last three...

It also does not explicitly say that TSJ was not a match to one of the two subjects found on the inner thighs (1.4) as it does with 1.3. Its possible that his DNA is found there, but the argument is that there are four other male DNA found on her body in those two locations, raising doubt on...

I'll bite: why? Is it because we were trying to fly under the radar from some kids, and knowledge of our interest made others interested, driving up the price? Or is it the very public discourse of our NIL stash making some kids think they can get a lot more out of us than they can?

If this was for an Illini commit, we'd have about 7 pages of "'had?' Did he already decommit?" catastrophe posts
