I heard it and noticed it on TV and wondered to myself...don't they ever turn that sh#t off?

I made a quick table in Google Sheets with the offers that have been mentioned in this thread for class of 2025 and beyond. Is anyone aware of any others?

Noelani Cornfield...how did we miss out on her?

but she didn't expect the Husker momentum at the end.

Nevertheless, just because another school does it it’s not necessary for us to do that.  My opinion.

"0" took about 5 steps on that layup...not that it matters.
 

Allick needs to sit. He's way out of control and has costed us a few possessions. 

28 of 31 free throws won the game for us.

Back on theme.
 
 

I respectfully disagree on one point.  Allison had a definitive limp, both before and after the session.  During the introduction, she came out with a sleeve on her leg.  She then sat on the bench and placed a bulky brace on her recovering knee.
 
I do not bring this up to be a Debbie-downer or argumentative.  I simply want fans to be realistic and to understand the difficulty and hard work to rehabilitate and fully recover from this sort of injury.  Allison is putting in the time and work.  She is back; but it will take some additional time and hard work for her to get back to her old form.
 

I still wonder how he'd been under Miles and without Cam Mack.

I've seen this kid's video. He gets knocked down. Then he gets up again. You're never gonna keep him down. It's quite remarkable, actually.

"The Finnisher" moniker is already taken by Lauri Markkanen (of the Utah Jazz). But, no matter, if the dude can 'finish,' we could still call him the finisher. I'd take him in a heartbeat. GBR
 
 

Not bore everyone.....but maybe the coolest thing I ever saw back in the Nee 90's was by Eric Piatkowski. (he played in the NBA for 10-15 years as I recall)
 
Piatkowski was maybe the best pure shooter I ever saw at the time. He could bomb 3's from anywhere.
One night, and I don't recall who the other team was, but he banked in a long three (right in front of the other teams bench)   Their bench just started laughing at Piatkowski......thought it was so funny.
 
So the next time down the floor.....Piatkowski got to the exact same spot on the floor (by their bench)....and banked in another three.... in the same spot.  He just turned and looked at their bench, and trotted back down the floor.    ...Their silence was hilarious.
The coolest in your face deals.... and he never said a word. 
 
Never forget it.
 
 
 

Alexis Markowski needs to learn some more moves in traffic under the basket; Or to Kick-it out!

Great progress this season.
Gut punch to end it.
Here’s guessing Trev will give Hoiberg a significant vote of confidence, when it’s all over, to keep the momentum going. 
 

Fuck..Shit..Cock..Balls.

Problem is you can verbally decommit at any time too up to when you officially sign as well. Verbals aren't worth as much these days.    

Sure, from a player's point-of-view, if they don't call it, you keep doing it.  But, that doesn't mean it's legal.  It is still traveling.  Just because the stooges can't do their job properly, doesn't mean it shouldn't be questioned.  And it is most certainly NOT called consistently - if it was, there would be no more traveling at all (see below).
 
The euro-step is different.  It looks awkward as hell.  First time I saw it (and many times after), I thought that has to be traveling.  But, the euro-step, at least, is basically the same as a straight-line (relatively speaking) layup in that it is a continuous motion (you get 2 steps after picking up the ball from the dribble) before releasing the ball toward the hoop.  The second step is just at an extreme angle to the initial direction of motion.
 
The long step and release of the pivot foot after stopping or pivoting on said foot is not a continuous motion like a typical layup.  There is a break in the movement into the shooting (or passing) action to establish the pivot foot after dribbling.
 
So, ask yourself the following:  if a player establishes a pivot foot without previously dribbling (e.g., has just received a pass) at the top of the key, for instance, and then drags or picks up that planted foot before dribbling, passing or shooting, is that traveling?  Of course it is and it will be called traveling 99% of the time (unless it's in the NBA when we occasionally see the replays of some clown getting 15 feet closer to the basket by changing his pivot foot multiple times).  The same thing applies if the player picks up the dribble and establishes a pivot foot prior to passing or shooting.  Why should the call change just because the player is within 5 feet of the basket?  These steps around or away from the defender to get a shot up (after stopping and pivoting) are the exact same situation.  It is traveling and it should not be allowed.  If they continue to allow it around the basket, then why shouldn't a player be allowed to change their pivot foot at any time at any location on the court?
 
And for sure, my complaining won't make a damn bit of difference and I won't stop watching games, but I will continue to cringe every time it happens and I will continue to call it out for the BS that it is.
 
I'm not trying to be a jackwagon toward you and I understand things change, but the current state of this particular 'interpretation' is simply wrong and not applied consistently.  It's just a blatantly farcical and situationally-dependent butchering of one of the most basic concepts/rules of the game and those that have allowed it and continue to allow it should be ridiculed.
