I feel like Poteat was very under-appreciated.
He wants to be close to a Target
Women's hoops just picked up Sophie Swanson from Purdue
ODU bound?
Seems like Buzz's whole gimmick should provide at least some ammo to use against him on the recruiting trail
Yes,
With that messaging (which is encouraging), to me, it puts the pressure on this portal cycle and next season. Time to put up or shut up.
They've already been contacted (tampered with) and decided where they're going
Damn - I initially picked Drake over Missouri but changed it last minute
So Clemson Clemsoned...good shit
Refs gonna give this game to Missouri
Gotta say, some of my picks made me feel icky
Don't you mean Automated Teller Machine Machine?
Sometimes my dumbass sense of humor just doesn't come through the computer screen
I think MJ collins- who is better than young- is their floor ATM.

# | Sorta OT: Stephen Curry Named Asst. GM of Davidson Basketball, Leading Eight-Figure NIL Fundraising Effort I have never in the almost 20 years see anyone claim that his scouting was foolproof. Have you?

# | Sorta OT: Stephen Curry Named Asst. GM of Davidson Basketball, Leading Eight-Figure NIL Fundraising Effort Not even just no ACC team - no teams in the country outside of Davidson, Winthrop and VCU gave him a scholarship opportunity. To claim Greenberg should have seen what no one else did, and to actually still be pissed about it almost 20 years later is just laughably absurd

# | Sorta OT: Stephen Curry Named Asst. GM of Davidson Basketball, Leading Eight-Figure NIL Fundraising Effort Look dawg, my only point was that while Greeberg had several faults - offering a walk-on spot and a redshirt year to a 6'0", 150lb kid that can shoot (which was as good or better of an offer than he got from 99% of D-1 schools), was not one of those faults.
Anyone that is still raging about it (while beating the fuck out of a horse that's been dead for 15 years) is basically saying, "yeah of course I recognize basketball talent better than every coach and recruiting expert that existed in 2006".
Coaches from Davidson, Winthrop and VCU should be enshrined in the HOF for being the only three D-1 coaches possessing the foresight to offer Steph a scholarship.

# | Sorta OT: Stephen Curry Named Asst. GM of Davidson Basketball, Leading Eight-Figure NIL Fundraising Effort Again, we're not just talking about the almighty Dukes and the lowly NIT VT's of college basketball - we're talking every single P5 team in the nation who looked at him said "nah, we're good". A lot likely didn't even look at him before passing on him. Most ACC schools weren't even interested in a walk-on role for him.
His choices were literally Davidson, VCU, and Winthrop. There was zero indication he would become the player he did, and again, at VT maybe he doesn't even become that player, 6' tall and 160lbs was going to take a beating in the ACC or B1G - at the time, before he finished growing he was built for a mid-major.

# | Sorta OT: Stephen Curry Named Asst. GM of Davidson Basketball, Leading Eight-Figure NIL Fundraising Effort Counterpoint: Steph Curry maybe would have never become what he is today if he had been gifted a scholarship to an ACC school based on who is dad is.
He was skilled out of HS, but undersized (he even acknowledges that he was a late bloomer, physically). He was maybe 6' by the time he finished HS. It's not like any other P5 program was after him. His HS coaching talking about ordering uniforms:
"We got brand new uniforms, and this might have been his sophomore or junior year, and when you're ordering basketball jerseys, you just don't order very many mediums, much less smalls," Brown said. "He probably needed a small, but we were able to kind of fit him into a medium pair of shorts. All we had for a jersey top was large. I guess you could say it hung a little bit loose on him. It kept bouncing and shaking around whenever he was running.
Hot take: Greenberg made the right call with the information he had in front of him, without the benefit of hindsight

# | Hokie Hoops Central: ACC Tournament Cal vs Virginia Tech 430 pm ACCN The last 9 seconds of regulation time, through the 2 OTs to the end really summed up the Hokies basketball season perfectly. Several opportunities to win. Several blown opportunities.
And now 5 fouls in 2 minutes for Florida 🤣
