My question is where is Antigua in future carousels. Is he still wanting a head coach position? What level would he accept? How "damaged" is he from his first try?
It’s also scheduled to be flying to Florida later today. Recruiting trip to the sunshine state?In more flight tracker news, the NetJet that went from Champaign to Lexington last night just took off for South Bend.
OA and Brad getting to work with Booth?

I prefer the slightly mote conservative SBABENWATLENWATL.......Got it..........Good to know......it really really is........
Man, flight tracker posts are always my favorite.
Peak fandom craziness and I’m here for it.
Can’t believe this dude was low am at the Masters.
No such thing as a done deal in recruiting. And likely the same with coaching searches.Hopefully it’s done…but I’ll wait until we see it publically.
Storr was also done…then a variable came in and changed the game (mom? Money?…etc…Doesn’t matter).
Fingers crossed we can get OA back.
Hated to miss out on Storr, especially to Kansas. As far as that goes weren't they ranked #1 at the beginning of the season this year. That didn't work out like they thought it would.Wow somebody forgot to tell Kansas Storr will destroy their team.
With the addition of Storr they are now favorites to with the NCAA championship next year.
No amount of cope can wallpaper over this miss. The kid is a preseason all American. Weber era cope were we justified that Jaylon Tates would get “coached up” and missing Rose was “dodging a bullet” because of his “crazy family”
We’ve been talking to the kid for the past six months, had handshake deals but in the end we were scared to pull the trigger.
Someone needs to remind you they were the favorties at this time last year also.Wow somebody forgot to tell Kansas Storr will destroy their team.

I dunno about this take. We offered first and the kid wanted to most he could get and shopped around. Kansas came in below his asking but the kid still chose Kansas. Do I blame the staff? We can’t get them all. Plus we have a lot of positions to fill. Can’t spend all our coin on one guy.Wow somebody forgot to tell Kansas Storr will destroy their team.

Hahaha. Love it!Can’t believe this dude was low am at the Masters.
I wonder if we will be playing at KU for a return exhibition game. I would love to get a win there and have both Hunter and Storr lament about how they’ve never beaten Illinois.Someone needs to remind you they were the favorties at this time last year also.
Storr is another player that can't guard a chair. Will fit right in with Hunter.
Yes, but…. What have the A’s ever accomplished in the Moneyball era? For all the talk about their resourceful spending, they’ve languished — at best — in a tepid bath of mediocrity. Big spending doesn’t guarantee a title, but the Oakland method shouldn’t be the blueprint anybody follows.I don't mind us not taking Storr. As Billy Beane said, "The day you say you have to do something, you are screwed. Because you are going to make a bad deal. You can always recover from the player you didn't sign. You may never recover from the player you signed at the wrong price." And by price, I don't just mean NIL. There can be a price to pay in terms of chemistry and morale for signing the wrong player under the wrong circumstances.

I'm actually one of the people who can say I didn't want him anyway " and actually mean it. Nothing about him suggests to me that he could be part of a team with the chemistry we just witnessed.I don't mind us not taking Storr.

No one said we didn’t want him anyway or that he would destroy Kansas. They did say he was ready to come until his mom got involved, that we weren’t willing to pay the price it went up to a point we weren’t comfortable, and then the staff pulled away. So just keep making crap up and crest your own narrative.Wow somebody forgot to tell Kansas Storr will destroy their team.

You’re getting kinda personal don’t you think?What tail are you tracking?
Is Storr an X and O guy or primarily a recruiter?Wow somebody forgot to tell Kansas Storr will destroy their team.

If there was ever evidence that we as fans get wayyyy too invested in things like roster construction, player commitments, etc., it’s this statement. Since when have any of us been more than spectators??Still need a lot of scoring but there is a fair amount of time. I'd just like to have an off season where I'm merely a spectator by tax day.
He’s just being a good wingmanYou’re getting kinda personal don’t you think?
how could anybody like that !!!? i wish a ref or coleman would have hip checked him clean off the court. better yet, ket Kofi come back to send him into the 5th row.Once you realize that Hurley is just an obsessed basketball nerd with limited interpersonal skills, it’s really hard to hate him
lol, I know you didn't just compare AJ Storr to Derrick Rose.Wow somebody forgot to tell Kansas Storr will destroy their team.

Dude… you’re the one who started the Billy Beane discussion by bringing up Billy Beane.1. This is a basketball forum, so I don't want to get into a big discussion about Billy Beane, the A's, or the relative merits of their success given their budget.
2. Regardless of how you feel about the A's, Beane, or Moneyball, the quote rings true, and its truth is particularly applicable to the case of Storr.
