Know there were quite a few Kennard Davis fans on here …

How much will K Davis get from BYU? I wouldn't think he'd get enough touches on offense at BYU.

What'd he do to you? "Despise"....seems a bit extreme.

Wow - I thought everything emanated from the Rashard McCants testimony, and yet it seems the scandals (plural, even excluding McCants!) were everything but. High academic ranking? Hah!

And the article says something to the effect that nothing became of McCants testimony because he couldn't produce any evidence (eg the transcripts of the other 2005 hoops players, which he would have no access to). IOW, nothing ever came of the hoops fraud from 2005, where none of the players ever went to any classes, according to McCants. I guess that explains why they didn't forfeit their title.
They escaped major penalty because non-athlete students could enroll in the sham classes as well.

This stat was particularly telling: In an interview with CNN, Willingham claimed that 60% of 183 UNC football and basketball players, which she analyzed from 2004 to 2012, were reading at fourth- to eighth-grade levels, and that 10% read below a third-grade level.[35]

Plus, you can get an easy A in some courses, even without attending classes.

The irresolvability of that question gives an indication of both how likely and how good of an idea it is.

If we've got that kind of money, it should be going towards a 4.
From Underwood's own mouth, that's what he said they were targeting.

Yeah on its surface that does seem to make more sense to me too. MAYBE a guy like Watkins could be close enough? But I'm a little surprised there'd be interest in a 3rd 6'2"-ish guard.

edit: Shoot I even forgot about Ben with minutes at the 4. Honestly assuming AS is indeed a done deal then the roster seems pretty solid and complete to me. Bring on October.
I think you are sleeping on how good Fland is, he was one of the best freshman in the country before he got hurt last year - not counting the three games in the tourny where he tried to comeback and play but was ineffective, he averaged
15.1 ppg
5.7 asst
3.4 reb
1.5 stl
1.4 TO
36.5% from three
50% on catch and shoot threes
This was as a freshman- those numbers are better than Kasparas, he’s an ultra quick ball handler who can be disruptive on defense and is a very good shooter and distributor- he can play PG or SG. Why wouldn’t we want him is my question!

Honestly, I respect the troll game. Indistinguishable to the naked eye, just perfect timing for max panic, and using a recently quiet insiders alias.

That being said…

Don't forget the faux optimism in the end, 'still in the driver's seat'. Had it been a blanket 'he's gone, going to UNC' it would have been even more obvious. Really a masterpiece. Now excuse me as I need to find my blood pressure meds...
