AW-III IS BACK FOR HIS SENIOR SEASON (SOMEWHERE)


Recommended Posts

 

 

 

 

...and almost all of them think they're first rounders.

That's obviously not true. It also doesn't indicate which guys have agents and which ones don't.

Clearly hyperbole on my part. But my point is, getting into the NBA is like, really REALLY hard to do. If one has even the slimmest of shots at it, they must take their chance.

How AWIII declaring is an indictment against anything I'll not understand. Sure, we'd like to have kids come back to play for DONU just because they love playing in Lincoln NE for free and our entertainment SO MUCH, but that's unrealistic.

Not everybody is as stupid as Douggie McBuckets...

Wouldn't call him stupid. His play from senior year is what elevated him into a lottery pick in the the NBA draft.

 

 

it still cost him millions of $ to play his senior year.  That's not exactly what I'd call brilliant.

 

:rolleyes:  :rolleyes: Wow, that has got to be the most idiotic post you have ever made. And that is saying something.

So a little off topic, but what are th chances TP would have been playing for us this past season if these new draft rules were in place last year.

 

I don't think the new rules would have changed anything for TP last year.

It potentially could have changed whether he came back after his big first year though.

You only say that because he likes to troll Creighton fans.  Those posts don't really bother the rest of us.

My source is not Adam Barnes.

The idea that people think that everything that happen to the program is all coincidence and bad luck is fooling themselves. I've been a huge Tim Miles supporter.

I think Andrew is an extremely bright young man. When he talks about himself, he has said he is more of a specialist if he makes it at the next level. I think the White/Petteway comparisons are very subjective.

Of course I'm not the only one who talks to people.

Ultimately, I hope he makes the choice to stay. If you have heard Andrew speak, you can tell fairly quickly he is a bright individual it would be naive of me to think that someone so smart would some how make a bad decision based on what friends are saying to him versus what basketball guys would be telling him.

If people want to marginalize the defections based on circumstance, go right ahead. Signed the people who stood by Barry Collier.

I'm just throwing this out there.  But do you ever think that Barnes may not always be telling the truth about what he knows about NU?  Could he be bitter that Miles never reaches out to him about any coaching gigs?  That he pimps himself up a LOT?  

 

Again, nobody but Andrew White knows what he is going to do.  Not Adam Barnes, not you, not me, not any random person on a message board.  I'm going to support White no matter what he does.  I'm also not going to throw out crazy ass statements and then if it does come true I can say "See, I told you my source knew what was up."  And if White does stay, you can also say "Man, my source is usually 99% right on these things."  

 

My source tells me that Andrew White will make the best decision for himself.  And my source also says that I will support him either way.  I hope he stays at NU, but I also know that 800 kids leave their schools each year which must mean that 95% of College coaches apparently are "circus shows"

Losing Beckner wasn't bad luck nor coincidence.

 

Refresh my mind, which assistant coach that we've lost was bad luck.  Haven't most of them left for a better gig (i.e., head coaching spot, or an upgrade).  Could there be more to Andrew tossing his hat in the ring?  Yes, it could be true.  Has your source been wrong before?  I can't remember what it was but I can think of one time he was.  Could it just be as has been pointed out, Andrew is seeing what his status is and what he is told he needs to improve on to improve his chances next year?  Seems possible.  Guess time will tell.

This! All of this, whether his source is Barnes or not.

I would say losing Johnson after one season to his alma mater was bad luck but he was replaced with someone better, so the point is moot.

Which was my point.  I think that guys were willing to move with him from place to place says more than a source that is claiming it's due to a circus.

By the looks of my analytics it certainly works. If everything was about clicks and I loathed my existence, I'd be thrilled.

In fact, let's take a close look at those numbers.

Here are the visits from a certain Jay board. As you can see, we're very popular today due to this thread being linked back by Waylon-Van-Can't-Figure-Out-Why-He's-Banned-Over-Here-And-On-Twitter-Multiple-Times because he couldn't figure out that he was being baited by something that is so obviously inaccurate it's just laughable. I mean, you might need a magic marker to mark one's head and one's ass so as to be certain that one knew the difference type of laughable.

 

The lesson is that a lot of people read this site including fans, the media, coaches, fans of other teams, players, recruits,etc.  Please be mindful of this if you aren't already.

I dunno, dimes...it's just been so long since we've had any fun with those guys and I was bored today, so I thought it might be fun to play.  I guess I'm sorry.

But, hey...at least traffic, eh?  I guess it's kinda sad if they can't recognize clickbait.  Oh well, not my problem I suppose.

Put a minnow out...and you catch a Blue Jay(yes I seperated the words). Such a sensitive fanbase.

So Tim made a bad hire?

 

 

In a vacuum, i don't think that PB is some terrible coach or guy or whatever. However, I just don't think he was a good fit and that's a risk you run when you hire a guy in a pinch after the Hurleys swiped your hired gun. Thus him leaving by finding a different job somewhere else is a short term recruiting pinch and hopefully a long term win-win for both of us.

That's totally unfair to both Tim and Beckner.  Dave or Phil.

 

Burno quitting put Miles in a tough spot.  Many on here, including me, suggested he just wait until spring when the pool of applicants would be more numerous.

 

Beckner's background and where his recruiting connections are make him more suited for the place he left us for.  His recruiting sphere is not within the Big Ten footprint.  But, at the time, he was the best available option.

There's more to life than money and he's doing OK now. Playing one more year for his dad appears to have been priceless to him.
