Geoff is smoking...lower temp but for a longer period of time than most other dishes! I think we can all agree that his dish (Jeremiah Fears) is worth the wait!

No argument from me. Geoff has been "delivering" since he was a ballboy then played for Neil's teams. Very good player but not a pure shooter like his brother. There is a good reason he has been with Brad for a long time.

Thank you- and I know most, if not all, of those crystal balls are from you, which helps clarify where we stand with a lot of these kids, so thanks gain for that

One scenario right now looks like adding
Ben H
Claude
Pringle
Which would be a middle of the road team without very good three point shooting from our wings (Claude- White) but they are scorers that are coming from high major teams already. Pringle is just a big body and rebounder in the middle with very little offense or rim protection

I think we need to throw resources at Onyenso at get him on board given he has huge upside and immediate ELITE rim protection- he’s the biggest difference maker vs replacement value in our lineup IMHO- then if David Jones hits the portal we just need to find more NIL dollars and we don’t go after Claude in that scenario. Adding:
Ben H
David Jones
Onyenso
Is likely the best team in the big ten next year

This team would be set up so well for David Jones.

I have a question for any of our insiders. This past year we saw a number of headlines where players were upset with schools because their promised NIL deals had fallen short. During this years portal season, we are seeing A LOT of high dollar offers being thrown around. Are there any schools out there that you believe are promising more than they can deliver?

I took 5 days off the recruiting buzz, what's the current status? Still looking at 4 more additions? Combo guard, scoring wing, rim protector, shooter big?

I saw some terrible fry takes yesterday, so here is the actual fry top 5 list:

1. Lion's Choice - Just a better, cleaner, more consistent version of mcdonald's
2. Shake Shack - The best and crispiest of the crinkle cut fries, jumps to #1 if you get the cheese sauce
3. Jack in the Box (or Arbys) - Curly fries are just always good
4. Chick Fil A - What better way to eat chick fil a sauce than with a giant spoon made of potato?
5. 5 Guys - Natural Cut and portions for the whole family... and priced like it.

This starting 5 is taking home the Natty.

I saw someone say Portillos yesterday.... those fries have got to be the most bland and average fries I have ever had.
Also, In n Out fries are terrible.

The tracker has an Internal CB - the Crystal Ball submissions I'm putting in the sheet are information coming from our insiders on this board. Our CB's may differ from 247 or we may have predictions on there that 247 are not tracking.

Do we have any serious interest in Kasean Pryor? Or is he too redundant with Humrichous?

People are saying we tampered with Storr…?

Just wondering how big a deal that is if true.

Crinkle cut are very volatile. Low floor, high ceiling. A lot of people have had soggy crinkle cut fries and won't rate them high. But if you're lucky enough to get a good batch of crinkle cut fries, they can't be beat. There is additional surface area for crispiness and the ridges act like an auger for dipping in sauce.

Kind of reminds me of low/mid major transfers

10-4 thanks again for all your effort on that.

Is there a way by which we can see who here submitted the CB?

The timing of that story breaking was oddly coincidental to the steady stream of information from the insiders suddenly drying up...? I will say that I had an uh oh moment when I saw that. Other outlets are picking up the story as well.

Is tampering even possible in college sports?

There are very specific rules against tampering in the pros.

No such rules exist in the NCAA, and I don't really see how they could, given that the whole system rests on the fiction that the schools and NIL are separate from each other.

This system sucks, and we should push the envelope of how rotten the incentives are for our own benefit until the day someone fixes it.
