Agree. I lost what little optimism remaining when Thorne and Nickersonâs teams won state titles. They need to focus on individuals statistics and putting in the kind of work necessary to earn all-state/POY instead of being good teammates.[/quote]

AgainâŚhow many allstate guys did we get? Ummmm, that would be zero. Best recruiting class since weâve been in the A10âŚmaybe, but thatâs not saying much and certainly not the level of talent required to make it back to the NCAA. If youâre that thrilled with this class and believe that Major is fulfilling his expectation as a good recruiter, I have to question your sanity. BtwâŚletâs just sign all the bench warmers off this yearâs NC state championship teamâŚapparently thatâs the measuring stick of quality recruiting.

I think youâll be quite pleased.
I suggest you start by reaching out to Dave Telep: www.twitter.com/davetelep
Hi 2KâŚgood to hear from you. Iâve met Dave and I know he ALWAYS has nice things to say about us and most programs across the countryâŚsuper nice guy. But the fact remains that when WE DID make it to the NCAA and lose in the first round, we almost always had at least 6-8 Rivals, Scout, PrepStars Top 120 guys. NowâŚwe have none. I think this class is filled with ânice playersâ, but I see nothing here that makes you say âWowâ or that is going to take us to the NCAA in the next 3 years. JMHO.
Yes, Nickerson hit the game changing 3 pointer from his spot on the bench.
Youâre either a troll or an idiot.

JfeltâŚstimulating thoughtsâŚwhatever. BtW, Jason: Might I suggest âHair Club for Menâ? Talk about âTrollsââŚlol.
Iâm serious with this question. Was Jobey, Demon, Rodney, Plavich top 120 guys??

Weâve never had that much talent on 1 team. Weâve had good talent, but nothing like that, that I can recall.
Best of my recollectionâŚeveryone but Demon, but he was a postgrad PG for DeMarr Johnson I believeâŚIâm sure Jfelt will call me a troll or idiot and say Iâm wrong thoughâŚlol.
This is when I wish we had that âHe said what?â thread. Maybe max is right. Maybe this recruiting class is shitty. Only time will tell. But if(when) we end up not sucking, if(when) these players are part of an NCAA team for the Charlotte 49ers, Iâd like to be able to hold him (and others) to their words. Or, if these players do suck (they wonât), and Major is proven to be a bad coach (he isnât) and a bad hire (he wasnât), these folks can point to what they said and rub it in our faces. Seems fun.
Great idea âBustââŚwanna put some money on it? Iâll bet you a $1000 dollars COLD hard cash that we donât win a bid to the NCAA in the next 3 years. Will you match me? Iâve got about $1300 in my pocket now that someone paid me for one of my rental houses. Letâs meet in front ofâŚsayâŚmaybe one of the site administratorsâŚbring our money and have witnesses. You loseâŚyou payâŚand you GOTTA have the cash! You accept the official public challenge? Iâd be happy to lose it to you as much as I would to win itâŚcause I love to win! Let me know, Bust.
Nah. I donât care that much. Nor do I have that money or want anyone going all Stewey Griffin on me. I think a âHe said what?â thread is sufficient. Public eating of the words is good enough for me.
If you donât careâŚthen why make such a bold and emphatic statement? I come from the old school of thought called âPut your money where your mouth isâ. Not trying to beat you up, but I get tired of the koolaid bullsh*t that getâs spewed sometimes.
My statement wasnât really that emphatic. I just disagree and think it would be more worthwhile for us to be able to hold people to their words down the line than debate what canât be proven one way or the other right now. Maybe folks would stop trolling and QQing so much.
I donât think we will suck. I donât think this is a bad recruiting class. I do believe we could miss the NCAAs for the next 3 years, but that is because I have never seen these players and sports are like that. But I think we very much can make it in the next 3 seasons. The earliest my stance could be proven true is next march and your stance proven true is 3 years from now. Maybe this is the koolaid talking or maybe you are off base, but we canât really know for a long time.
So when it comes time for someone to take that bet, are they supposed to âtrust youâ that youâre good for it? Whoâs the fiduciary in this bet?
i wish we had more David Bookerâs too
No NLPâŚmy lawyer friend says we can put the monery into a non-interest-bearing account. Iâm gameâŚU? Can I trust U?
BtwâŚWill Ferrell and Vince Vaughn were a riot in 'Old School". Wish theyâd put a out another movie worth watching these days.
