True. Seems more like a Michaels man or maybe JoAnn Fabrics. Perhaps Bed, Bath and Beyond.

You guys crack me up big time in Paducah.......I was always in the sporting goods section of a store if they had one........True. Seems more like a Michaels man or maybe JoAnn Fabrics. Perhaps Bed, Bath and Beyond.
I am in my early 40s and had a Ben Franklin I visited in Rantoul, IL a few times back when I was young. Always had the toys downstairs and when you walked in upstairs you got the smell of whatever they were making that day. Fondly remember the smell you are talking about....
I’m in my mid-40s…I can remember a couple BFs in my area as a kid. It seems like the last one went out in the early eighties. ?
I think it depends on the area but pretty sure they declared bankruptcy in the mid 90s. The company that bought them even went bankrupt in the past 8-9 years I believe.
Not for certain but I am pretty sure there are some still around...might be able to count on one or two hands
Champaign Toast
Fan since Kiwane Garris
A former top 30 recruit and 6'3" wing from a Carolina ACC team... could be Shay Bollin, transferring out of Duke.

How many spots do we have available?
I didn't say nothing.. but if I had, apparently my clues may have been to direct. Maybe her next zoom isn't until tomorrow, but maybe not.
Can't wait until tomorrow hopefully we have locked up Camille, which I suspect we will. I mean if you have met this team, how do you not adore them. But, I have been working on the the most cryptic of clues for who is meeting with Shauna tomorrow about the coaching position.
We have 3 spots available
Roster had 13 spots last season
Lost Lopes to graduation with Taponen and Oden entering the transfer portal. Allen and Dolan are recruits coming in.
Addition by subtraction and this roster looks real nice for next season beyond needing some big help. Not factoring in Covid year after next season but have a very heavy SR-JR team. The need is more size, the want is likely trying to land one for immediate help and one that can help for a few seasons.

Officially have New York's Miss Basketball this season in Dolan...Congrats to her!!!!
So, if that was Hobby, that leaves us with two spots for Wood,Morrow,Bollin,Betts,and Van Lith. Which two do you think are most likely? Unless there are more to be named later.
Another wing and a young big.
You'd be silly not to pursue VanLith, but she knows with her height she will need to be a lead gaurd next level.. and I don't think Makira is coming out of the drivers seat anytime soon.
Will definitely have more clear picture tomorrow... there will be a coach in town.
