Cam Mack

[Fullbacksympathy]

Bummer.  He would’ve been the 4th best point guard on our roster next year.

Remind me again what "No cap" means.

Apple didn't fall to far from the tree.  Mommy was burning bridges with coaches earlier this year.  Kid ever grows up and realizes the world owes him nothing and to take responsibility for his mistakes he might be a decent player, the talent COULD be there.

No cap basically mean that their not lying or capping like they did something.

I find this sad more than anything else.  Cam clearly hasn't figured out that bashing coaches publicly reflects poorly on you as the player more than it does on the coach.  Especially when the coaching staff gave you a half dozen second chances to change your behavior.

Hey I had to Google it, not up on this modern slang

[dustystehl]

How does one get their own back turned on them? Sounds very painful.

No lie - truth - believe it  - something along those lines and saying you will be able to count on Cam next season wherever he ends up would be cap.

Think there is a Guy Manning and Zelmo Beaty card in the collection some place.

I do not miss this aspect of the Cam Mack experience

I wish him nothing but the best.  I hope he has great success at Prairie View.

 

Interestingly, he'll probably have a better chance to get to the 2021 NCAA tournament there than he would have staying at Nebraska.  Assuming there's a season, of course.

Have to think a big part of the issue with Cam is that you're looking a guy who has used his redshirt so potentially he's sitting a year and then only has one year left.

TBH Prairie View is a good place because it gives him a great opportunity to get that waiver moving close to home.

Cam's academics appear to be in good shape so I'd assume he's easily a grad transfer after one more year of college.

If the NCAA or his league suspends their basketball season then he's looking at the possibility of being a grad transfer with 2 years left.  He might find he likes it at Prairie View. Who knows.

 

The guy has the only triple-double in program history. He's certainly talented but you have to wonder if that will ever translate into a team with him as the focal point winning. Hopefully he finds the right situation and we'll both be better off for it.

[Norm Peterson]

If he ever gets over his mommy issues, he could be a really good player one day.

Wow, What a train wreck....

[Fullbacksympathy]

He'll get silly stats in a trash league if he can resemble something like a functional young adult moving forward.  

 

But yeah... his situation is Oedipal af.

Actual train wrecks used to be some of the biggest entertainment events that were held in this country.  Now we just have the figurative ones on daytime TV and Twitter.

almost feel sorry for Cam. How'd you like to have *that* chirping in your ear for 18 years? 

 

Reminds me of Pink Floyds, "Mother".

You made me quiver.

[Handy Johnson]

He’ll never be as famous as Prairie View’s most celebrated alum:  Mr. T

[hhcdave]

My least favorite player in program history.

 

Good riddance.

 

Know he wanted to be closer to home but this landing spot says a lot.

 

The fact that Rice, Texas State, Houston, UT Arlington, UT San Antonio, etc. didn't offer? Yikes.
