Is that 3 former NBA draft picks in one day for Will Wade?

WWWWD? What Would Will Wade Do

Will Wade is built like a cartoon henchman

After a potential lawsuit, Wade may end up looking like a genius. An evil genius, but a genius no less. However, this is quite a gamble to have three recruits tied up in will-they-or-won’t-they litigation.

Best thing I heard was other NCAA coaches bitching "Will Wade is ruining it for the rest of us" "Will Wade is making a mockery of college basketball "

Now what are the odds those quotes came from Nate Oates & Scott Drew? :LOL: (Both of whom pulled this crap Midseason)

Popcorn ready 🍿

College basketball made a mockery of college basketball not getting a handle on this......

I want you to read this quote and really feel within your soul what the power brokers intend for this sport

Diamond Cup organizers define their new competition as "a premium, scalable, made-for-media college basketball franchise built to redefine the regular season. It delivers guaranteed blue-chip brands, premium viewership and serialized national narratives across multiple cities."

The breakaway has begun, and here we all thought it would start in football.

Sounds a bit like the European Super League that was discussed in soccer for a while.

That quote sounds like someone put in an AI prompt for “make a press release for a new basketball event”.

The robots really are taking over.

if we start calling ourselves a blue blood will that make it true? crazy to me how IU apparently still holds that status to some outside of Bloomington, Indiana
They have got to be the replacement after Duke dropped out.

I don't blame him one bit for having a huge chip on his shoulder.

I can't remember whether it was a Maryland game or a Nebraska game (all those frustratingly familiar and predictable collapses blend together for me...) but he was about the only player giving a !!!! or holding his own at the end of the game, and he helped us squeak into overtime, and then he didn't see the floor again as we lost with a lineup that shouldn't have inspired any confidence in anyone.

I give him credit for even getting on the team bus after that. I would have found my own way home.

Everyone has to motivate themselves somehow. Wish the dude the best whenever he's not playing the beloved.

But also, this. If my man is that worried about loyalty, gotta wonder what obligations he felt towards Josh Pastner
Can't really blame a kid for chasing a bag at Texas Tech and I would guess a lot of coaches that recruit guys transferring down now pitch it as come play and develop with me and set yourself up to cash in with another year or two.

And honestly he probably does have some valid negative feelings toward the program from that season(same with Morez and Tre). He probably deserved more tick his last year here.

He always played his !!! off defensively and did a good job of getting around screens. He wasn't shooting consistently here but also that sometimes happens when your minutes are irregular. Could make a case that you could have easily taken some minutes from Boswell and Kasparis and played Dra in like a 20 minutes 6th man role.

He clearly doesn't fit the size that the Underwoods want their guards to have thought so maybe some of that. So I can see why Dra would have that chip when he was likely told he was too small to play here and then he went and averaged 20 while shooting 41% from 3 in the MWC before getting recruiting by a top tier program in Tech.
