    Will the Thrill , say it isn't so .

    I like Willie, so good for him if he wants to add something to his name. Who cares? Still, if he had shown up for the Wisconsin game, I would endorse whatever change he made. He could be Godzilla Pope Francis Trill Kill Bill McGill Hill for all I care. I still wonder if his wasn't the worst...

    Jaylen Brown -- our most important recruit since AD and MKG ...

    It would be great for him to be a Cat. I can't stand to see one more top recruit choose foolishly. Ingram's about the only one who has made a smart decision. LSU? Mississippi State? Good grief. Have fun playing in front of 4000 people and never being able to get the smell of mildew off of your...

    Since KU is still after bodies for next season will somebody

    It's a looooong time until October. There's no telling how many of their players will transfer or be arrested or both between now and then. Self's no fool.

    If Cal was to ever leave would Stevens from the Celtics be a candidate

    And Pat Riley was going to step in and put a stop to Tubby's final years, ditching the Heat and saving UK. Wait, Riley actually has some affiliation with UK, so that makes more sense than Stevens to IU. Regardless, I don't think a young, successful coach is itching to take on a has-been program...

    If Cal was to ever leave would Stevens from the Celtics be a candidate

    You evidently haven't heard that Stevens, even if he were on the verge of repeating as NBA champion, even if Lebron and Anthony Davis and Durant dropped everything to join him in Boston . . . even then, he's still holding out for the Indiana job. Because, you know, he's from Indiana, so he...

    Newman has the feel of the Wiggins recruitment

    It doesn't yet. What we'll need is for a poster to tell us that he has a friend who works in Funkhouser and Newman's papers are sitting right there in front of him, signed and about to be processed. That was classic. Not "done deal" classic, but still pretty good.

    Zimmerman to UNLV

    The phrase "toiling in obscurity" comes to mind. I, personally, won't be up at 1:00 AM to watch UNLV play Wyoming in what I'm sure is a real barn-burner in Laramie. Rashad Vaughn would be in the lottery if he played at a real school. Instead, he's looking at the second round, at least in the...

    This legit?

    Sorry, OP. That story's bs. However, I did take this photo Christmas morning. You can imagine my surprise.

    On Zimmermans IG

    "Things like #StopPlz" Wow, regardless of where the kid goes, good job, Mom. These guys are utter parasites who do nothing for your kids, yet can't exist without them. They don't coach, they don't counsel, they don't do anything other than pester highschoolers about where they might go to...

    Calipari Watching Jason Tatum This Morning, Monk Last Night

    Would love to steal Monk out of Arkansas. He's amazing and would be a great fit.

    What needs to be done to help college basketball?

    Other than the officials, nothing is wrong. We're approaching a crisis regarding refereeing, however, if we haven't reached it already. Everyone sees it--even the casual March Madness fan. The refs just aren't very good at their jobs, and that starts at the top, with a lack of meaningful...

    Wow, that was really nice. He's a winner through and through.

    Karl towns thank you letter

    A 5-page letter? I look forward to sitting down and reading it. He is a special young man who will make UK proud for years to come. That said . . . five pages? That's more than UNC players write in four years! Some of their players probably don't think that any human has ever written five...
