Yeah, I normal side with DeCourcey but they're underestimating this.

NBA hand picks the best 10-15 players. The next 10-15 players go to CBB for 1 season or overseas.

So you're essentially going to have no 2nd year players from your top 30 and you're losing your elite guys all together. It's an issue.
Maybe the trade off will be more continuity, teams hanging together longer, etc. and that will help improve the quality of play somewhat. But the lack of leadership with the NCAA has finally reared its head.

Been staying up to 1:30 or 2 the last several nights murdering children on Call of Duty. Turns out, these queefs aren’t better than we were at video games, they just play them more than we can in non quarantine times.

I mean, I’m still not great, but being respectable against kids whose entire life is this ****, I’ll take it.

Golf, online poker, online video games ——> quarantine sucks *** from a business and social standpoint, but these things have been fairly helpful to keep me from losing my ****.
Xbox or gaystation?

Pete Thamel is a turd, but he ain't wrong here. I think CBB is in big, big trouble.

You can't have it both ways....

A.continue to get the top players and see them leave after a year = ***** about not building a program/team/unity/etc
B.see the top players in HS go to G league or across the pond = ***** about the best of the best not being in college for that one season.

CBB is not in trouble. You think people won't still go to games and/or TV will cease to exist? You're only talking about half a dozen to maybe twenty players if this was to burst. If anything, it gives the biggest programs the opportunity to actually "develop" a team/players and retain them for 2-4 years, and land the occasional top prospect who actually wants to go to college. It will also create parity which isn't a bad thing.

^CBB is in trouble, it won't go away but it will continue the trend of becoming only March Madness Pools to the non-die hard fans.

It's obvious that MOST top level guys are now consumed with playing professionally and think the NCAA is a joke. NCAA continues to ignore that and here we are. As a UNC fan I can't think of a program in the last couple years that should understand this more.

With the NCAA waiving initial eligibility requirements there is a chance that we will see a lot more reclassification. Which will cause PTI to have an aneurysm.

-Definitely wouldn't have guessed PTI for an old wrestling guy. Worshiped wrestling in the mid 80's. I was big into the Jim Crockett/NWA stuff moreso than WWF. I saw tons of matches in VA and NC, even attended Starrcade 86 in Greensboro.

Dark side of the ring has been a decent watch. Couple of them I had no interest but some were cool to get some scoop. Regular listener of Jim Cornette, Tony Schiavone, and Jim Ross podcasts. Love getting the inside story of the things from back then. They sure had a 10 yr old Justa tricked.

- Threw a wireless CarPlay deck in the truck. Have to say jumping in and not having to hook up via USB is pretty damn sweet.

- Only been in Raleigh for a few weeks but got damn its so much better than Knox. Seriously, eff that place.

Given how UNC will have one of the top front courts in the country I next year, I disagree (if even for one season) I see your point, but "top level" will be the # I stated...no more than that. After that, it will level off as it does every season. Are you concerned with Cal's inability to develop a team? Sounds like it. UNC has won their 3 titles since 2005 as a result of returning players who got better, mixed in with the 12 yr olds.

Can’t imagine watching college basketball today and thinking to myself “wow, these guys sure are all very talented.”


But that’s just me.

I mean, worship Kristy Swanson, and she had short hair in the Chase, but I wouldn’t really call that a boy cut.

And :rolleyes: at the term boy cut, I believe the preferred nomenclature is “pixie.“

Think I don’t know that? But we have brutes here like Anth and Brax so I have to use language they’ll understand.

Kristy Swanson had the definition of a pixie cut in that movie.

If you looked up “pixie cut” in the dictionary there would be a picture of Kristy Swanson . . . holding a picture of Billie Jean.

-speaking of naturals...watching GOT (10 years late, lmao). Middle of season 2. I'm fine with the "battle violence" and such. i do find the "sexual violence" to be a bit much. Implications are fine(useful storytelling device)...but the graphic stuff is offputting.Two questions:

1. Does it get less "rapey"?
2. Have I turned into a p***y in my old age?

We know you're intimidated by true men and we understand your pansy references, we just chose not to acknowledge it.
