He lost his only pen at his house and all the stores in his neighborhood all closed so it might be a while.

By topic count, there are 6 threads out of 44 on the front page of the Round Table that are basketball related - one was the build-your-team thread and one was an OT thread about Tom Izzo, so there were just 4 that were new RU basketball content. When I was a premium member, Round Table was almost exclusively football, and it seems that hasn't changed much - basketball talk has pretty much always been on this board.

That is not the case whatsoever. It's for all sports - basketball, football, wrestling, etc. When Cliff committed the other day, there were A TON and I mean a ton of hoops things.

Took a further look at all the bball related content over the first two page - there's definitely more content than there was a few years back when I was on premium.

Cliff's commitment drew national attention, so I'd expect a big bump there - there was a ton all over the internet on that, in almost every sports-focused website on the web. It's been 5 days, and almost all those threads are now onto the second page.

While the RT is "for all sports", it's much more like "football... and also other sports". Even in a week where the basketball team got the highest rated commit in a decade and there were dozens of stories written nationwide, only about 20% of the threads have been about RU basketball, and most of those were in a flurry from Mon-Wed. Speaking as a former customer, premium basketball content is just not a primary draw for a subscription - it's an ancillary benefit for people interested in premium football content.

To be fair, it might be because bball was down to one VERY big commit vs. Football that is in middle if bringing in say 20 to 25?
Just by potential it is 7 to 10x more when you consider pwos too.
Idk, just a thought.

There will always be more football recruiting content than basketball because of the sheer number of offers. But the basketball content in the Roundtable included more than one very big commit. Though Omoruyi was a large part of the content.

There is content there on 2021 kids, 2022 kids, transfer targets, an incoming freshman (Mowat Mag).

Yeah, that's pretty much what I said. I'm not on this sites premium. But the pure football numbers will drive the math.
Glad to hear there is ongoing bball discourse beyond Cliff and appreciate what value you bring there.

Russ, if you had to bet the ranch, from the folks you know in college basketball circles, do you think the season starts on time? Nephew is very happy Lewis is staying in Gainesville.

I would not bet the ranch either way at this point. I haven't asked many coaches this question but the answer I get is some form of "I haven't thought much about that. I hope so."

If you had asked me about Scottie Lewis 2 wks ago I would have told you that he was staying at UF & you would have been an even bigger hero to your nephew.

Yes the signing period begins today and it usually runs for 5 weeks in the spring. However I read a few days ago that the signing period will be extended this year until August 1, 2020. I hope Cliff signs early so it can be finalized.

Would be nice to get the LOI just so Coach can comment on the signing.
