Hey we have a great package available for you to come back and play one more year in college instead of leaving us and going to play professionally…..but can you use that money we got you to play your own tuition.

Yeah, obviously the staff knows what they have and what they're doing better than I do (only just barely though), but BBV is a pretty valuable piece if he's your 3rd big imo. You need guys that are capable but also know their role (ie, don't expect to play much) and are good teammates. All indications are BBV checks all those boxes. Plus you know what you're getting and don't risk a Payne situation where the transfer player seems to be an upgrade but ends up not living up to expectations.
No lol

Then I misunderstood.

Lol. I thought the same thing. Hey 2x All American, could you do us a favor and be a walk on and pay to be here?
Where do we stand with Murray?
On the transfer big,, I assume they have someone in mind. Is he already in the portal???
Will forever remember the Omar spin move and finish at the rim. Legend. Good luck at your next destination big man

0440, why did you even bite on that one? Dude, I have so much respect for what you do here and your comments. Next time something like that comes along...
I hate to say this but Omar is a perfect example of the rating services rating athleticism and not much else when it comes to bigs. It's mind boggling to me how he could have been ranked as highly as he was with what struck me as terrible court awareness and no ability to guard his man one on one. Hopefully he transfers somewhere they can hide him in the middle of a zone. On a positive note, since he's been able to scrimmage against Dain this hopefully means he saw that he wasn't going to be able to beat him out for minutes.
Have we planned for him to take a visit here soon?Geico nationals are now over...Skyy decision should come in the coming week or two
Two more weeks of this and this board is going to break.Geico nationals are now over...Skyy decision should come in the coming week or two
That would be nice...but not holding my breath that we land all 3
Two more weeks of this and this board is going to break.
I think Omar Payne would be an Olympic caliber high jumper with his height, athleticism, and how he moves. Someone should tell him in case he wants to do something in sports other than basketball down the line

Feel for Payne. Came here thinking Kofi was gone and the extremely low odd outcome came to fruition. Plenty of dumb fouls but B1G officials did him no favors. Hope he can land at a place at an AAC school and really elevate their defense and have more offensive opportunities.
