Thanks - I'm gonna have Creeping Death in my head for the next few hours.
Probably a coincidence, possibly related.
Could is possibly be a related probable coincidence?
#1 ranked for 2024 Naas Cunningham is going to Overtime Elite but not taking a salary... sticking with NIL income so he can keep his eligibility for college... an interesting new wrinkle to NIL...Also Brandon Gardner said he is focusing on Auburn and St. Johns currently... St. Johns has some recent mojo for some reason...

Oh good. A salary would totally be crossing the line.
Don't think he will be the best defender at 4. Might even be tough for him to play 4 in the league. Personally, I distinguish the position more based on defense.
Is Tom Crean on the Providence staff?

To retain college eligibility? So the future will see student athletes approaching 30?

Lenny Wilkins maybe, probably not Dickey. Poor guy.
God went there.I didn't realize Providence had any Legend's.
Dickey got a ring playing with MJ. I don't think I'd feel sorry for him.

Isn't JCL over 30 now?
It is a bit presumptive to think that all you need is wing span to replace Kofi. There certainly a lot more to Kofis physical presence in the lane than his wing span. Especially when we have not even see Dain play. I am optimistic too but a realist as well. I still hope we can add a big man in the portal with not just length but other skill sets too. I am very curious to see who we look at and will add. I certainly expect to add a proven 5 in the portal given the programs improvement and the minutes available with Kofi leaving.

Yeah. He is going to St. John's
We were playing in the NIT a few years back and Simpkins was doing color for ESPN. The PBP guy introduced him as “three-time World Champion Dickey Simpkins” and I think I didn’t stop laughing until halftime.
I know. We don’t need him and didn’t want him. But man… gonna be box score watching a lot if this happens.
The most important thing here is that Legend Geeter is an amazing name.
If only more folks read Loyalty. Pretty sure this was determined 2 days (and three threads) ago...
