Maybe he'll want to make 2 and done a thing

Whoa whoa whoa. Hold your horses there friend. This story hasn't ended yet. Had last year been his final year you'd be correct. To add to your senario... but miraculously the player was given an extra year due to a once in a lifetime pandemic. This allowed him to rehab his shoulder and become the off the bench 3pt specialist that fans had always opined "why does the other team always have this unheard of player that comes in and just lights us up and we can't". He went on to shoot above 40% on 3's for the year and helped his team to thier 1st NCAA tournament victory.

He looks bigger already. I expected him to look much skinnier.

I know nothing of draft projections. Who do you think the 2nd is? Because if we send TWO kids to the league this year not only are we dancing we're making a nice little run as well

Unbridled enthusiasm aside I agree. I think if this kid does end up a lottery pick after this year it will be because of coaching and we will be dancing. Obviously it will also mean he is extremely talented. I am not trying to say it will be coaching alone. I totally buy in to what Norm has posted about if this team makes incremental increases in aspects of there game we are a much better team. So if the coaches can turn this kid into a lottery pick then I have to believe they will also get those incremental increases out of the rest of the team and we are all a very happen bunch come March. As far recruiting. Yeah, if he can put two kids (one a lottery pick) in two years in the league...Its gonna be a fun little run and I'm gonna enjoy every second of it.

Not just the ball, but the chain as well...its silly.

Which means that sometimes it does

To be fair we aren't the ones anointing him

I mean if this happens we're dancing right?!?

Beautifully written. The arc of our timelines just missed each other. I was fresh out of an eleven month tech school in the Air Force on that day. I was at my 1st duty station in Warner Robin's Georgia in the 5th Mob at the 51st Combat Communication Squadron. I can almost recall that whole day. Minuet by minute.but heres a little story a little later. My squadron sent some of the first communications people over. They left night before/morning of the Oklahoma game(the one with pass :)) I had to load out the gear on the planes. I got voluntold to do extra duty. Because like you said there are a number of people that are just assholes in the military...and I'm mouthy Anyway, Tech Sgt Norton KNEW I was geeked for that game. She didn't like me and I didn't like her. So she assigned me to extra duty that day and night knowing there was a good chance I'd miss it. She won that battle. But, I made it home about a hour before kick off. I called my dad and made him talk to me to keep me awake. Saw the game. Made sure to give and in depth recap to Tech Sgt Norton about the game on Monday. Also, got an accommodation because we loaded those planes so damn fast they ended up getting to leave early. FU Sgt Norton I think a good portion of people who served are in your shoes. Thinking those same thoughts. I know I have.

This is what really excites me. I think that's exactly what's gonna happen. I'm giddy . We'll see what the ceiling is. But this is fun.

I'd just like to say I love reading everyones arguments for which players will start, contribute, or need to developed. Because I basically take the good from ALL the arguments and create a super team. Yup. Sweet 16. You guys are great!

It was brutal...

I disagree. It is a numbers game. And the 41 schools apparently think that too.

I didn't say they wouldn't be. But however you slice it 41>14. Edit-I guess its technically 41>16 now.

An alliance that has the potential to shape the future of college football probably needs more than a few weeks to hammer out the details and put something down in writing.

And if you REALLY want to turn the knife you could offer them a two game home for one visit contract in the future. Maybe even three if you're especially jaded

Sorry. Random guy you knew in the Army? Better?

Maybe you have another little anecdote about your friend that could REALLY bring your point home ;)

Agreed. I think how that plays out is we still end up in the Big Ten. But we're a package deal with Kansas. Possibly Iowa St.

The NBA has aged him.

And Imagine if he figures out how good he can be

Sorry you can't see the correlation

That's like saying beer and pepsi are the same because they're both liquid. Edit - didn't see reddons post but basically that

Was it though? But to answer your question NO I would not be happy with Texas or OU in the BIG TEN. But, in my perfect world the BIG 8 still exists so take my opinion for what it's worth
