I think Brad stuck with RJ out of necessity. It wasn’t like he was burying shooters on the bench.Is the RJ divorce equally as diplomatic? All of it feels so fake? Brad stuck with RJ all season despite his shortcomings and celebrated his late season growth. What a strange time.
Disagree, we had other options on the bench.I think Brad stuck with RJ out of necessity. It wasn’t like he was burying shooters on the bench.
Sorry...never been a barhopper.....way too much liquid courage thereWent to the bars with my father in law down there. He lived in Metropolis for a long time. Guy around there everyone calls cowboy that will talk your head off at the bar. You know that fella Pru?
I agree, as the year wore on, RJ became one of the more reliable defensive options out there. And he was always a playmaker in transition, even when the jumper was broken.Disagree, we had other options on the bench.
I think Brad stuck with RJ because he was actually a good defender and made decent decisions.

Bro , try to keep up ..............lol.......................She just literally dropped into my lap...............she is a friend of a friend who told her aboot the infamous pru and the rest just sorted itself out.......she lives with me and NL # 3....they get along great......I'm happy...I really really am........Oh what a world...............I love it !!!!!!!
Yea in 6 years we haven't even made it to a sweet 16 under Bu im not knocking him as I do believe we've had some bad match ups and bad draws but there's little at this time to make me believe with what we've lost that a elite 8 or even a sweet 16 is in our future next year.i really hope I'm wrong I truly do cause in this case I'd be so willing to eat crow.im going to keep faith and hope that the insiders are right that good things are coming soon.just feels like we could definitely use some positive news here soon frKansas State replaced nearly their entire roster and made it to the Elite 8.
I share that sentiment, I really do. But I think these first couple “free for all” years are going to be pretty crazy. My guess is it won’t always be like that.I love my alma. I love watching basketball. I'll always be invested in this program and spend some time on this site. But man, I think it's time for me to temper my investment. I absolutely respect that players need to do what's best for them, but, frankly, so do I. I'm a sentimental fan. I love watching our players grow, improve, and, ultimately, succeed over their time here. That's part of what's made college basketball so engaging for me. Now, I'm just not sure the proposition is worth it when I no longer expect a player to stay for any period of time. I don't know. I have no doubt BU will figure out this coming season and get enough talent for us to compete, but the magic of college basketball is rapidly evaporating. What we're left with feels far lesser.
His dad and aau camp wants guaranteed playing time. So he’s going elsewhere to showcaseTotally agree. Very disappointing after how the staff stood by him through all his struggles and kept giving him significant playing time and opportunities to get his game back on track. WTF is his thought process?
Not many teams can replace a starting 5 (Epps, Shannon, Melendez, Hawkins, Mayer) and not have a severe drop off. If Shannon and Hawkins don’t come back, this will be a 20+ loss team. Worse than 2018-19.
By disposition as a fan, not always in life, I tend to be the inverse. Like, "Belo will figure it out and then we're golden!"-levels of unrequited optimism...So, balance is good is all I'm saying
Rodgers is staying.I figure Harris and Rodgers are the question marks still out there.

post # 334 in this thread...............I’ve been a board member for years but still dunno what NL stands for
And their coach lol. Just sayin'.Kansas State replaced nearly their entire roster and made it to the Elite 8.
I believe in the context of Pru, it stands for neighbor lady — though I could be wrong. I really really could be.I’ve been a board member for years but still dunno what NL stands for
Lookie there. I was right. Coffee hasn’t quite kicked in yet though. When I read your explanation, I thought you wrote “.old pru's harem of Dusty ladies” rather than lusty ladies. I thought, well that isn’t very nice.post # 334 in this thread...............
I lean in this direction. The advent of NIL overlapping with extra pandemic eligibility has maximized the "Wild West"-ness of the landscape - this, like all things, will normalize a bit. The cases of surefire NIL + portal deals flaming out and not just tanking the W/L record but the locker room will pile up, and the risk/reward of going this route will get a little more clear. Some coaches will lean into it, others will shy away. Sunrise, sunset.I share that sentiment, I really do. But I think these first couple “free for all” years are going to be pretty crazy. My guess is it won’t always be like that.
Coaches will adjust to grab more long term HS recruits dedicated recruits, or transfers with multi year eligibility. NIL contracts may even start coming with multi year deals/guarantees etc.
Our NIL is strong, our program is proud and storied and our coaches are savvy. Makes me optimistic for the future. I think a lot of this turnover starts slowing when guys finall land in their spots and have no free insta-eligibility left haha.
Yeah, it's a good point. There are very literally too many Division 1 basketball players for too few scholarship slots until the covid bonus seasons drain out of the system in a couple years.The advent of NIL overlapping with extra pandemic eligibility has maximized the "Wild West"-ness of the landscape
