As a disclaimer, I haven't read his tweets. That said, there have been all kinds of things I've participated in throughout life where I thought the rules were stupid or unfair in some way but it didn't stop me from enjoying the thing overall. If he really hated it, why even play this year?

Plus by next season he might be able to profit from his name image and likeness while still playing. The NCAA moves slowly but they're going to start running into state laws pretty soon.
I think that they would be enjoying things better if they were playing in front of a packed RAC. Geo can pick up a grad degree or make progress toward one. That has significant value in the future.
Our fan base like a lot of fan bases is highly irrational. Ecstatic with a win and jumping off the cliff after they first throw specific players off the cliff before them. Most of them never played or have written about college sports. These young adults have two full time jobs. The first job is being a student while the second is being a P5 athlete. They learn to manage their time better than the average student because of necessity. Win or lose I applaud them for what they do and bring to the table.
Play basketball and get a grad degree . It’s like they hand out those degrees like candy.
You are right . It is like having jobs . But when you play big time sports , the first and only job is athlete . So much time is spent on the sport . You make the school fit into it. Heck , right now there is school sports without school ! It’s crazy and shows the priorities .
Obviously, there are exceptions . Myles Johnson is a hell of a student.
Just like a zillion other American college students ,our guys are taking classes in school, but not physically in a classroom.
Mathis, Johnson , Baker and even Harper - I don't think any of these kids have made up their minds yet so not sure how anyone on here can speculate one way or another. Any body saying they likely will or won't come back are purely guessing. I'm guessing they will all evaluate there situations after the season and into the spring and decide from there.
as for young and Duke - think it'smore clear with them.

Jacob - Gone, can’t spend 7 years in college and he’ll make good money overseas
Geo - unsure
Myles - I think stays and goes to grad school unless he gets into a dream school.
mathis - not going anywhere. He’ll have way more minutes next year which would be appealing.
duke - graduates and moves on with life or drops a level.

i mean I guess technically he can haha. Although I think he’s ready for the next step in his basketball career.
Without even looking at rosters I would expect Cal Tech and Stanford to find a way to admit him if he wants to go there, so I am concerned. If he leaves we need a grad transfer big desperately.
I agree for Stanford. I think you have Cal Tech confused with somebody else.
He’s getting into Stanford without a doubt. Look at his qualifications. Even if he didn’t quite qualify (and honestly, I’m not sure what else he could do), basketball would get him in without question. It’s just a matter of whether he wants to stay here or not.
LOL. Regardless how many people get vaccinated, the stupidity will continue. How long are you protected after getting your shots? A few months like most flu vaccines? “New strains”. Triple masking. Even if everyone gets shots (which isn’t happening), there’ll never be 100% protection and as long as people continue not speak up about stopping with the masks and lockdowns the madness will continue. I’m in South Carolina this week on vacation, people are living down here.
This is Jacob's 5th year of college and he is already taking grad classes. If he returned next year it would be his sixth year and maybe he could complete his masters degree. Where did seven years come from?
They might be confusing Jacob with the captain of the RU mens Lacrosse team, who is playing in his seventh year at RU.
I can't figure why me and so many others are bothering to listen to epidemiologists and other experts in the field when we could instead be taking your sage advise ?

The Iowa guard Jordan Bohannon is as adamant about players rights and likeness and agrees with everything Geo says, each player has a right to say what they want, without it being something against playing college sports. If the likeness is passed as expected, I would expect more 4th year players to stay, especially if they have a good B1G and NCAA tournament games this March.
what happened on wed .....
what happened on wed.......mathis part of someones made up story about ron n tez not getting along
Something like that, I didn't really catch it when I was watching the game, Wednesday. I think it is a non story.
After an errant pass, Myles and RHJ were passionately talking over the last play. Lasted 30 seconds and moved on. Then we won the game.
