That’s why I like it neat ,only take ice in old fashioned.
My opinion in this absolutely critical, vital matter seems to be the same as yours. But I also admit that it isn't worth
a Civil War to enforce this view upon others.

Players have talked with coaches a bit this week. Official meetings are going to start on Monday, so we should start to see some movement then. I expect 2 more transfers out and at most 3. I think there is a legit chance for both Marcus and Coleman to come back. A lot of factors will play into that though-Marcus waiver is probably 50/50, Coleman could depend on his knee.
They really want Maddox. I think they like Hill as well. Also, Boswell should be entering the portal next week. The question is do you take two of those guys plus a wing or two (Storr or someone else)? This could piss off a couple of guys on the team but it gives you more proven talent right away. Also I know they really want a stretch 4 and also maybe a 5, so that will be interesting to see what happens as well.

I know Amani wants to stay and the staff loves him but if they add two bigs, would be interesting to see what his outlook would be. Still think he would stay, but I would be curious to see what happens with that
Also, AJ Storr remains the #1 priority right now. Kentucky is our main challenger there but I think we have a clear edge right now. Gonna try and close that one down in the next couple of weeks.
I expect them to add at least four transfers, could be five or six depending on who leaves and what happens with Marcus and Coleman. They are hoping to have a Domask answer in the next two to three weeks

For some reason I have no problem with one cube in bourbon, but the thought of any ice in a single malt makes me cringe.
What about stones or stainless cubes?
As long as you're not babysitting it all night, the ice doesn't matter. You should add a splash of water to open it up anyway.

That's correct ... The 3rd time that you declare ... You've got to go ...

I mean...I can make peace with the Sencire situation I guess...but Amani too? Where do you draw the line with prep recruiting now? I know competition is a good thing, but I'm fairly sure I've heard "development program" straight out of BU's mouth?
I also know a coach having success like BU is not going to turn away talented transfers that want to buy into his program.
What a crazy time in CBB.

I'm a rocks guy. Just like ice in almost any beverage, soft or hard, even the good stuff. Agree too much melting goes too far though.
Have read that Maddox is better off the bounce and coming off screens. Obviously will help with shot making but will pull defenders in and get them out of rotation to open up shots for other guys.
Hill not the greatest perimeter shooter but has shown the ability to get to the rim because he's a physical big body guard better perimeter defender as well.
In a perfect world I would prefer Maddox over Hill but if Hill were an impediment to landing Storr id gladly take that chance on Hill.
The bigger question for me is who do they land at the S4 assuming Coleman does not exercise his final year of eligibility... Marcus is a total crapshoot at this point.

Thanks - so the 3rd time. I was thinking it was the 2nd time.
Don't need the ice for the BT, its lower proof, but me personally, need to big ice cube on anything above 115ish or so for the meltage

Serious question: Does Bronny James entering the NBA Draft actually have a chance of getting selected? I can see a scenario where a team wants to get Lebron, so they throw away a draft pick in the pursuit.

I'll root for Dain Dainja every single day other than if he plays a game against Illinois, but even then I'd root for him to have individual success but not team success. There are many players who would have acted like a prima donna in his situation this past season...games we were completely ineffective down low when he didn't play a single minute when he should have at least gotten a look when he did nothing but support his teammates. Add that to the work he did to get his body into the best shape he's ever been in, and I don't know how an Illini fan can't be a huge Dain supporter. Safe travels Dain. Hopefully both the city and the University of Memphis are great to you.
