I get what the poster is saying regarding value, although I'd look at it differently. On average, one would expect a 20th ranked player in 2028 to contribute more in 2028 than a 40th ranked player in 2027 would contribute in 2027. That seems pretty obvious. Of course, the player can play in...

Giving up?

Seriously, no one has done IllinoisLoyalty?

Well, that would be noon back home so doesn't really count.

I'm of the opinion that our evaluation wasn't that far off and that he's going to turn out to be a good player. Late start, new team, new country, the Wagler curveball. I wonder if he just overwhelmed. Of course he'll be weighing foreign opportunities as well.

Deon makes 4? The Wagler explosion really changes things. Grab the spot while it's available. That was an idle "threat" in the past. not sure any more. There has to be others wanting to get in as well.

Bigger d-bag? I'm going Bo for the sanctimonious attitude. And Illini fans can hate him for giving us Moeller and for firing Frieder.

Of course, loyalty should be expected. But you kinda outed yourself for the behavior that drives me crazy. "to call out the weird worship they both seem to get here". Ya know, sometimes what you "seem" to see isn't actually the case. Just in the last couple days I opined that Bruce Pearl...

Actually, I think it's weird that people extend comments about players, coaches, or teams to mean that people like or hate the particular player, coach or team. My real circle of friends has never called me a BU hater when I questioned a game strategy decision or called me a Michigan Man when I...

Are you saying that Weber left Augie in and he got his third foul in the first half? Regardless, I'm not sure how that game would support your contention. There's probably nuance to these decisions. But yes, almost universally it's handled with sitting the player.

Morez Johnson's comments won't have 0.1% of the negative impact that Pearl had on our program and won't have 0.01% of a negative impact on any individual as compared to what Pearl did to Deon. As I understand you, some BU detractors take Morez's side so now in a twisted way Morez is worse...

If you want to compare him to Gordon, I can see that. Pearl's actions were evil. No comparison.

They might value him. But with the rules around the salary cap there are no "throw-ins".

I'm sure it's a great feeling to hear your name called. At the same time, UDFA is probably his best path. It sounds like he turned some heads so I'm sure the overseas options will be strong.

So he's not going to be our 9th man this year?
