Being able to recruit players from the portal doesn't really ever stop. What stops is the window for players to enter their names into the portal.
He'll just make the same comment, or ask the same question a couple of weeks or months later. What's the point of answering.

Cactuses… yes they have some areas with a lot, but they tend to be small and near the ground. I’ve never seen a cactus over a few inches in diameter In the wild.
Probably a prickly pear type.
I was in Tucson last month for a soccer tournament. There was one saguaro I took a picture of with my son for reference. My son is almost 6' tall, and this saguaro had to be at least 30 ft tall. If you're ever down in Tucson, I definitely recommend checking out Saguaro NP.

I guess he'll need to save more energy on the defensive end of the court to be able to get his shots. At 7100 feet he may never make it past half court unless he decides to put forth more effort on defense than he did here.
Whatever...he's gone and we're better for it. I wasn't a fan of his when Haith brought him in either

Might want to look for a 6 on 6 league out there where he can only play offense. Our Oklahoma girls did this well.

I remember those days well....There were some "ladies" in the defensive three of the better
teams that you didn't want to aggravate...

I always felt that the three on three game, while it had less running, was actually a little
rougher than the modern five on five version....

I live in the Duncanville school district, although at an address listed elsewhere....They
have had some incredible State championship teams on the girls side, and like Houston
U, they have done it with amazing defenses...

My MIL played 6 on 6 basketball in Missouri back in her HS days...as a matter of fact, she was apparently quite the athlete lettering in basketball, volleyball, and field hockey. I would have never guessed she was an athlete when I first met her.

My mother played Oklahoma 6 on 6 basketball in the 30’s. Back then, she said that the rules only allowed for one dribble before you had to pass or shoot.

That’s hard to imagine these days.

Am I the only one who thinks Abmas won't do as well there as people think? The big 12 is a totally different animal and he won't just be wide open constantly like he was in the Summit League.
I agree with @Li'l Eric Coley! It will be interesting to see. You are correct the big 12 is vastly different than the summit and he will most likely not be the focal point of the team.

😂 😂 😂 Yeah, that seemed to be in every bathroom in Tulsa.

Please tell me you know the reference I'm making
I cannot lie. I googled it and immediately recognized him. I never really got into P&R. I think of him more as the guy who’s married to the annoying chick with nice knockers from Will and Grace.

Seems like I looked for Charles Chukwu's twitter before and had difficulty finding it. Does anybody know if he has one/what it is?

That’s what I am thinking is he might be. As for Chukwu, I haven’t found one for him either
Nikita started posting about this on the 24th, so they probably made this decision a week ago. Probably had a little advance notice that Landeborg was going to commit to UAB. I just hope this isn't a sign they've given up on all the big men recruits and they are still going hard after one of the four big men we are still recruiting. I wouldn't be too upset with taking back Nikita if they got one of them.(Nesmith, Osoboro, Ezewiro, & Bell Jr.)

I'd like to have a healthy Nikita back to see if these coaches could develop the young man into a contributor. Not much seen to this point with only haivng a year of Frank (good thing) and not being able to go this yeardue to injury (bad thing).

Who cares, he's gone.

Also, this is a cool story but I was in a twitter discussion with someone about Griffin, and all I said was that unless he's on fire shooting the ball that he struggles to contribute (I promise, I know I've had my moments on here but I'm trying to be a better poster). Well, he sent me a DM saying to keep his name out of my mouth, I probably haven't played at this level before, and then cussed me out. Oh...THEN he blocked me.

Super duper cool guy.
So we had Will Smith on our team

How could he not with that elite coaching he will get from Frank Haith ?!
