Jesse Edwards returning.

The Boeheim slander on here is flat out embarrassing. Ask coach K, Roy Williams, or Tom Izzo if they think JB is an elite coach...they’d probably sock you in the face just for asking. He’s a hall of famer and one of the best college basketball coaches of all time, so stop the nonsense. Jim coached the hell out of the team this year....this was clearly evident down the stretch to anyone who knows the game. That said, I have migrated to the camp that feels that it is time for him to move on. While I feel that he is still a very good coach, teaching wise, his style and the way he interacts with many of his players doesn’t appear to work well with the college athletes of today. This is hurting recruiting and player retention. I am hopeful that he will step down with grace and humility when Buddy graduates. This program could use some infusion of youth at the helm.

Yeah, 6’9” 230 lb guys who can shoot around 40% from outside are cool with me 🤷🏻‍♂️ He might fit in quite well.

Enjoyed this version of one of my favorite songs ever.

Remember this guy? ‘Cuse was heavily involved in his recruitment prior to his commitment to Nova. Edit: I am hearing that there is mutual interest and this will go down quickly wherever he decides to transfer. Good shooter.

I suspect that many concert venues are going to require proof of vaccination. Wife and I were supposed to see the Avett Brothers last spring at Ommegong Brewery, was postponed until April 2021, and now postponed until April 2022. Suxxx.

Relative to today’s vibes, yes 🤣

TBH, I don’t think JB or the ‘Cuse program has the “clout” that it once had to convince a young star like KR to come off the bench like that when they are CLEARLY the better player. Especially given the new transfer rules. You’re seeing clear evidence of that right now. Guys like Richmond and Braswell want to start or get significant minutes. Now they gone 🤷🏻‍♂️ Possible ray of sunshine?

Frank Anselem just tweeted, and then promptly deleted... “with more to come, the dominoes have begun to fall 📖”

FWIW, I just heard from a pretty solid source that Woody Newton is leaning toward staying. That said, the same person told me yesterday that Kadary was also staying 😞 I wonder if PayCal straight up offered the starting PG spot to Kadary...

In addition to Ajak and Braswell, I expect Newton, Griffin, Dolezaj and Sidibe to leave. Dolezaj will go play in Europe and probably have an amazing career over there. Guerrier is smart to get evaluated by the NBA, but I don’t expect him to leave.

I could pop that thing out with my pocket knife.

Every 15 minutes or so depending on the time of year.

Yeah, those football ones...especially the Jason Brown season...were painful to watch. Still entertaining though 🤣

Loved it. Wu-Tang documentary “Of Mics and Men” on Hulu is also very good.

Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, does it?

What are your thoughts on Newsome? I’d love to grab him at 30.

I like Brashod Bateman much more than Toney and I think there’s a decent chance he’ll be there at 30. I guess I wouldn’t cry about Etienne. I think the value at 30 is going to be CB and OL.

Dammit...although it's been pretty clear (to me anyway) that he is not part of the long-term plans at OBD. Isaiah needs to get that money to support himself and his family. Not one of the guys who can afford to take a team friendly deal, IMO. Best of luck to him wherever he lands.

I'm right there with ya. Very good show and the best of the series thus far, IMO. Nice to see a HC who isn't a complete lunatic. More focus on the players and their stories.

The Good Lord Bird on Showtime and Hulu is pretty good so far. About 6 episodes in. Ethan Hawke is pretty freakin awesome as John Brown. Kinda has a Tarantino type vibe to it. Check it out.

This is good. Quality depth but Beane needs to acquire a much better boundary corner via FA/trade/draft.

No thanks. He’s going to want a huge deal and he deserves it. Beane needs to take our future #2 corner very early in the draft, IMO.

Interesting. Dude on NFLN just said he spoke to sources within Eagles organization, and they said that they were “in no hurry” to deal Ertz. Smokescreen? 💨💨
