"Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die. And it is youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow, and the triumphs that are the aftermath of war." – Herbert Hoover.

The announcement tomorrow will be indicative. If recruiting is holding up and we establish some four year players like Denis ,maybe Dixon and such to establish some stability and nothing gets a lot screwier with NIL , I think he could. He's getting better as a coach, imo, and ,as you insist ...

That would be the rough equivalent of 750,000 today.

I should have mentioned that I absolutely agree with that. Using it for a synopsis of statistics is pretty much as far down that path as I care to go. I love reading and being able to investigate different POVs. I had just as soon not subsist on intellectually predigested pablum.

You might think that but I'm seriously not making this shit up. I'm 74, went to high schools that would not let college bound males take typing and then ended up working construction for 30 years before ever beginning to try. After 45 years of carpentry, I had to retire because I developed a...

I did miss your reference to Roy coaching Felton since the discussion was previously about what each coach started with. I apologize for that. AS for why I used AI, I don't remember those two seasons very well. I started chemo and radiation the day after the 2019 season started and I spent the...

The two years of coaching that led him to retire after these two seasons? 2020–21 Season: Finished 18-11, losing to Wisconsin in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, which was Williams' only opening-round loss in 30 appearances. 2019–20 Season: Finished with a 14-19 record, marking the only...

I'm waiting for one where Trump does a foreword.

Brooker who was a great high school shooter had a really bad knee injury in the summer before he got here. I think his speed was a little suspect before that. Similar to what happened with Curtis Hunter but Hunter was a lot more talented to start.

That would only be true if the talent remained the same and the power players got everyone they wanted. There are simply a lot more good players. They start earlier, play more , train harder and come from more places. Sure, the cream will rise to the top but there's a lot more left after the top...

Let's note that there is a hell of a lot difference in what a "cupcake" is these days with the expansion of the game worldwide and growing numbers of foreign players. Add that to NIL and talent is a lot more evenly distributed and so are coaching skills. A lot more of those cupcakes can ambush you.

Roy's first team. Rashad McCants, Sean May, Raymond Felton, Jawad Williams, Jackie Manuel, Melvin Scott, David Noel, Davis's first team Core Roster: The team was led by Armando Bacot, Caleb Love, RJ Davis, Brady Manek, and Leaky Black. Which team would you take in a best of seven?

Going as soon as I wake instead of going after tossing and turning for ten or fifteen minutes.

the best launchpad of any of his predecessors. I don't see this. I'd say Roy and Guthridge had better and Dean had a mandate NOT to put winning first.

You overlapped my two oldest there.
