Well after talking to one of our old friends at UK … They seem to think Oscar is going pro & they are getting Hunter “no matter what” …
They’ve been talking about it for 2 years …
Totally missed this…what did his father say?
Indy what have you heard about RayJ, Tyger, Chris Ledlum, and Curbelo
"I wonder what great dane tastes like man"A Labrador one at that.
You mean we don’t get everyone we pursue?
So are you saying Shannon may be UK bound if he withdraws from the draft? That would sting.
Indy has said he won’t comment on players not in the portal (yet), which I believe includes Tyger and RayJ.
Edit: or she… looking at you, Mrs. Whitman

Peak Loyalty right here.
Correct. And can confirm that Indy is a male. And that Hope Whitman doesn’t have time to post on here lol
These walk-ons at this level are phenomenal basketball players. It always kills me, when they enter at mop-up time, how how the crowd laughs and cheers their every move. I get it, and they may not be at the P5 level but they would mop-up the floor with pretty much everyone on this board. Many, many years ago I played with a bench player from Montana State. Would have never seen the floor in the B10. He was absolutely one of the best players I'd ever seen. I guess I'm just trying to say that these walk-ons are no joke. They're really, really good. Just not quite good enough at this level.

I don't think people are laughing at them. Crowds are generally thrilled to see them get some tick and hoping to see them get a bucket or two.
Indy, since you’re in tune with the Pac 12, heard anything about Glenn Taylor. Saw he is visiting Ohio St today and as a Beavers fan too just wondering if you had any intell.I bet the house on Adam Miller to ASU when he entered the portal … I’m just here to collect …
I know you can’t comment on guys not in the portal and I don’t think Bona is officially, b it there was some mention of Tyger and Bona potentially being a package deal. Is that dead?
RayJ and Tyger need to get in the portal ... But you know we will be in it deep for both if they hit the portal ...
Ledlum is going to be IU or St John's I was told ...
Curbelo will be lucky to get someone to take him ... It'll be a coach at a mid-major that's desperate and wants the headlines to take some heat off of him and maybe see if he can fix Curbelo or a pro career for him ...
I still think Bona hits the portal ... Unless UCLA fixes the mess that they caused ...
Cronin is losing it a little bit out there ... It was never a good fit and I think he needs to find a new spot in the off-season because UCLA is not at all sustainable for him ...
Mick and I go back a little ways ... Let's just say I wouldn't be shocked one bit if Cronin winds up at MSU or Kansas if Izzo or Self called it a career ...

Was responding to a post that his father was pretty miffed that BU was recruiting over his walk on son.
He is visiting Ohio State ... I know Mississippi State is on him as well ... His former teammate Dashawn Davis is down there with Jans at Miss State ...
I talked with KT Turner ... He just got the job at UT Arlington and hired Jeremy Pope as one of his assistants ... Glenn is very familiar with him ... They may have a shot as well potentially with that connection ...
Also - have no clue how Tinkle still has that job ... Milking that deep run from like covid times still ? Geesh ...

Same issue they are having with Tyger ... Same issue they had with Peyton Watson last year ... Same issue they had with Amari Bailey and his Mom this year ...
Issue #1 for all of them:
Issue #2 for everyone besides Tyger:
They all feel like Cronin did not utilize them the right way ... Watson, Bona, and Bailey were all MCDAAs ... 5 stars ... Why in the world is Cronin letting Jaime and Clark get all the touches ? They thought it was ridiculous ...
In my uninformed cheap seats fandom view, it was clear in his tenure at UMass that dude was going to be a giant problem in college basketball for a long time.Well after talking to one of our old friends at UK … They seem to think Oscar is going pro & they are getting Hunter “no matter what” …
And he hung around long enough to outlast the NCAA norms of the past 20 years. It's impressive.
If we beat them or Kansas in this chase,

We'll be lucky to even get a visit ...

Honestly, it sort of astounds me that you ever implied we had a shot. He hates our fans. Money talks but lots of places can pay him.
