Don’t agree at all with this take. What percentage of early 2nd round draft picks go on to make $60 million in their career? It has to be astronomically low.

I was obviously being sarcastic.

I think from a financial standpoint it definitely makes more sense for someone with Veesaar’s profile to stay in college. Sometimes these guys are just ready to move on to the next stage of life though. I didn’t realize that Veesaar is about to get married until earlier this week. 22 years...

I would personally go door to door helping Belichick campaign for his buddy Rubio if he manages to win a playoff game or an ACC championship at UNC in the next few years.

My wife and I are both liberal and see eye to eye on most political issues. She definitely doesn’t follow politics as closely as I do and doesn’t get very emotionally invested in it (yeah yeah, privileged to have the luxury of not caring in the first place, I get it). To be honest I’ve become...

I (maybe naively) have been assuming that the 5th year of eligibility thing would get kicked down the road. If they end up allowing that for this CBB portal cycle then I don’t even know what to say haha. That would be ultimate chaos.

Gotta love people who claim to be huge UNC basketball fans/probably worship at the feet of Dean/Roy and then turn around and have takes like that lol. They would have an identity crisis if they ever bothered to look into the political stances of those two.

The old ZZL was dying a slow death once IC decided to divide “regular” topics and political topics into separate forums. Think it was inevitably going to fade into oblivion either way though. That community was much more divided politically, and in this day and age I think it’s pretty much...

In addition to missing Veesaar’s production at the 5, I think this is also going to put a big strain on the 4 spot too. Would have been fine with Stevenson paired up with someone of Veesaar’s caliber in the front court, but I worry he’ll get exposed beside a replacement level center.

Double whammy kick in the nuts that these other high profile programs were able to retain their first round prospects, and in the process directly influenced Henri to enter the draft. Can’t begrudge the guy but it’s a tough pill to swallow.

Weird timing for this considering Bulls ownership fired the GM a few weeks ago and said that the new GM would have to be on board with Donovan.

We have to keep in mind that Malone has only been a college coach for a few weeks. Someone like Rick Barnes and his staff have several years of experience dealing with the transfer portal cycle and they are probably more efficient with it than our staff at this point. That’s not a knock on...

Good perspective. It sure sounds like the OP needs to make a change, but the one thing you don’t want to do is jump at the first available new role just for the sake of getting out of the current situation. I did that earlier in my career and fortunately ended up in good situation that kept my...

Tennessee is really going all in it seems like.

I doubt that will ever happen actually.
