How would he be recruited over. Fears is a 2025 recruit. Boswell would be a senior by then.

Well sources on here have said he will be an immediate starter. Which would seem to cause him to play the 2, since I would presume KB would be playing the point.

The guy is talented. Reminds me too much of Epps when Underwood was giving him a mouthful. I dont know the situation though, is he a take Indy/0440?

I am not a insider, but for a talented home town kid I think we should be all in !!! he’s interested.

That butt chewing seems mild in comparison to a couple of the ones I saw Epps get last year. I gotta say we have to certainly take him if he wants to come but if I am Brad I show him this clip and one from him chewing on Epps and make sure he knows what might be behind door 1

So is it allowable now for a person to walk up to a player any time and tell him “I’ll give you $500,000” if you transfer to my school of choice this fall?

I hope that doesn’t sound stupid, but I really don’t know how NIL works.

Heads up: Zero other sources have this… not even the Arizona message boards. Presume this is fake unless proven otherwise.

And why would someone enter the transfer portal this time of year? Didn't make sense to me. I'm not saying there aren't legitimate reasons for entering the portal early, but you don't normally hear about transfers this time of year.

I'd say that bag is a little light.

Tommy Lloyd has publicly said KB is immature and that he’s giving him the tough love approach; if that’s not something that the player appreciates, why would Underwood be a coach he is considering? 🤷‍♂️

We have all had some tough love from people in our past, I'm sure. If you know that the person who is tearing into truly cares about you and wants the best for you, it's received differently than just being berated. I'm not saying that's the case here with Lloyd vs. Underwood, but Underwood is known for ripping into players when necessary. Guess what? The ones that have stayed have thrived.

I don't think there's a doubt in anyone's mind that Underwood cares for his players. I can't speak to Lloyd, but Underwood seems to command a lot from his guys, get on them when they don't live up to expectations, and praises them once they figure it out. That could be the difference here.

Yep! My college girlfriend cheated on me a couple of times. Then told me that she loved me after I found out. Maybe this should be in the "Games thread. "

Should we start a college girlfriend thread? My girlfriend of 4 years (we had made marriage plans) showed up at my apartment one day and informed me that she was getting married to a guy from my dorm floor and moving to the east coast. Brutal!
