There is a chicken and egg problem going on here. We didn't play 8/9 players because we didn't have 8/9 players capable of playing. Better teams have more good players.

Kudos to CBJ. He lost a lot but we have a pretty deep team returning.

He is going to absolutely need to keep his weight under control.

Yeah. We probably played in that same tournament. Another guy who was a terror was Adam Boone. He could dunk and had a mustache in 6th grade. He actually didn't grow that much after 7th/8th grade.

I think he probably just had a bad game. That Tartan team was just genuinely good. A lot of those kids were pretty much inner city (East Side of Saint Paul). I think that team lost one game that year and it was to Patrick Henry.

Yeah, that's a good pull.

Yeah, that was a really good team. That section was tough back then. Simley won that section and state in 1997 and I think the following year Highland won that section (and state). That team had Mo Hargrowe and some huge white dude.

That is what he was saying. They won't get money through the official collective. He specifically came out and said that there wasn't like an embargo in place. The staff just won't broker any deals and they won't get distributions through the collective.

Cam Christie doesn't have a brother that transferred in college. If by "the same thing", you mean that they played high level college ball and then went on to the NBA, I don't think any of them. Jameer Nelson had a dad that did though.

I strongly disagree. There are plenty of players who entered the portal went to much better programs and weren't great fits. Khalif Battle regressed when he went from Temple to Arkansas - now he's transferring to Gonzaga. Kario Oquendo went from Georgia to Oregon and ended up battling for...

100%. We should just end the charade entirely. I can't imagine anything would be worse for a student than constantly switching between schools.

I think there will be games where we hope he doesn't see another minute and games where he is our favorite player. I agree with your assessment. I don't think he is a PG. He is a good enough ball handler that I think playing him with Asuma/Mitchell/Patterson will help them as a secondary ball...

He is a really athletic guy who is more than just a body off the bench. His dad played at Colorado with Billups.

I don't think I would. I don't blame someone for doing it. I passed over a lot of money at 23 to improve the amount of money I would make in the future. I did it while also not having a family with tons of cash (like Cam). I'm not saying that I blame him for taking the money, but he has a legit...

Unfortunately for Devin Haney, it's impossible to un-do the cheating in boxing. So much of it is based on selling the hype and timing that losing, even if losing to a cheater, crushes your momentum. We saw this with Cotto who clearly as beaten by a guy who had plaster wraps - it derailed him.
