I never saw Spoon.
My understanding is that pretty much everyone who ever saw him had him in any all time starting lineup.

Yup. If you see a list that doesn't include Spoon you can just assume the poster is younger than 70.
Spoon belongs in any all time top 5.
Relentless.
Izzo going all in with Fears ... Drama & all ... Hopefully it pays off him ...
I mean he really helped them get Booker and I'll be shocked if they don't get Lawhorn as well bc of Fears ... But man ... Bold play by Izzo

Sorry to hear of your passing, Wally.
Seems similar to Weber's class in 2010. Although I don't know if Fears can compare to the headliner of that class...
I think it was premature for people to claim that Izzo was washed. His 2023 class could be special, but I do think his team will struggle 2022-2023
JMOHansberry with a final 5
Illinois
Miami
VT
PSU
Auburn
No Maryland!! I have fired my source.
Illinois - defending B10 champs - leader
Miami - glamour of south beach - crazy NIL,
VT-???
PSU- ??????
Auburn - wild card Bruce Pearl is dangerous
We got this! I’ll explain my theory:
Virginia Tech- We already poached Chester. He’s the best thing they had goin. Now what have they got left? Bimbo Coles memorabilia in the lobby? Whoop dee-doo! Besides, they’re a football school.
Auburn- It’s too damn hot down there…and I’m not talkin’ just because it’s South of the Manson-Nixon Line…I’m talking about the kind of blood curdling heat you get from being in the vicinity of the Prince Of Darkness. The Devil Went Down To Bama and He’s Been Lookin’ For Souls To Steal. Besides, they’re a football school.
Miami-Hurricanes? (Hell, it’s right there in the mascot name.)…Hurricanes, Swamps, & Mosquitoes the size of Hummingbirds
vs Cornfields, temporary Fog, and the occasional Flash Flood…hmm?…tough choice. Also, what’s more likely to tear into your leg a gator or a coyote? Besides they’re a football school.
Penn State-Please! Cellar Dwellers. They’re 2-3 years away at a minimum. Besides, they’re a football school.

Typical Tipton … Mani has already taken 5 OVs (PSU, ILL, Miami, VT & Boston College)
Now, I’ll just be honest … I don’t read all the NCAA rules but I believe I read somewhere that kids now get 5 OVs that are considered Junior year OVs and then 5 Senior year OVs so really they get 10 visits total but they have to have their Junior year OVs done by August 1st … So he could take more visits if he wants to but he has already taken 5 OVs
Anyone able to explain why 247 has Amani listed as a 3-star, ranked 140, and 100% committed to PSU?
247 hasn’t updated their 2023 rankings in a bit, he will get a bump when they update them again. Also, Hansberry’s crystal balls are from April, before Illinois even got involved. You can pretty much ignore them for now.
Hater....lolGreat work to all, but preseason polls can be unreliable
