At the time, there were all of the classic signs of a player not on the same page w his HC. The anti-JB stuff here was so loud that people were assuming the HC was main the issue. I always maintained that it’s a bit of “old man stuck in his ways” but a bit of “young kid doesn’t want to work...

Kadary didn’t want to work to win. That’s a fatal flaw in all sports. JAB pushed and he didn’t respond

Cannot or has not to date?

I think regional pride is untapped resource I the north east. The SEC has is with the south. I’ll go so far as to say it benefits the SEC and B1G to lay on a thick glaze of “football is dead in the northeast” while they pillage the best from NJ, NY and PA. Fran is single handily taking a hammer...

I’ll back track on my stance too. He’s proven me wrong.

Normally I’d be a staunch “keep things separate” but Fran is cooking at a level that destroys all boundaries

Guy is bouncy as hell, will shoot better and plays with energy. Wouldn’t sleep on him. Not sure why we need to render a verdict yet anyways

I read the basketball side for a while and then when I want to feel good about life, I hit up the football side. Shot -> Chaser

Is it August yet?

We’ve never competed with that and still won a natty and had a Heisman winner. They are intent on creating a system of stacking the deck even more precisely because their winning is not assured. It’s lame as f

I don’t think there’s a lot of 1’s out there. Everyone is a combo guard

And defenses found ways to mitigate the tempo advantage and there was a rule change that further eroded the advantage.

No

All timer, horrible post *who* is entitled to the money

There’s a logic to what they are doing but if they miss late season improvement during conference play, there’s a flaw in the system. The best way to fix it: 1. Start conference play earlier by 2 weeks 2. Have specific weeks later in the season for OOC games 3. Add the late season record back...

enjoy!

Fair points. I’m not sure what the right thing to do is for Clemson. The truth is we’re seeing what happens when there is no leadership at the very top looking out for the sport itself. The SEC and B1G getting in a room together was a good step. Then choosing to try to rig the playoff...

One programs “comfortable with mediocrity” is another programs commitment to each other. Clemson and FSU’s actions will hasten the demise of the ACC and put significant strain on the sport’s viability. ie. Culturally aligned as dumb and selfish

I watched LeQuint’s half smile when he said he can’t wait for the season in response to a question about Yasin, roughly 10 times

It just means more* * we were talking about football

SEC is overrated, again

It’s Thursday and I’m still right ;) Ok, I’ll drop it now while I’m ahead

I guess you’re conceding the point.

Imagine a world where someone had the best interests of the sport in mind. There’s a solution right there (teams in a 50-60 team league band together to collectively bargain a tv deal, so equal payouts. They have a governing body with teeth that actually cares about parity and cheating). It’s...

You didn’t circle SOS. He did about the same vs a schedule twice as good

This is not directed at you, your post just got me thinking a bit There’s always been an undervaluing of potential growth and development by players year to year, but now w the transfer portal, we’re worse than we’ve ever been at giving up on players too soon. I wouldn’t be shocked if the...

Clemson is high on their own supply, like FSU. Are these schools more valuable to ESPN in the SEC? Their departure devalues the ACC more than their addition adds value to the SEC. Legal fees alone probably mess up the math for 10 years lol

Loser plan of last resort while pining for a yesterday that ain’t coming back

lol - I’d hate the double bye even if we were in the top 4. You guys are beating me up over things I’m not arguing for

Double byes are not my flavor of tournaments, but if you like it cool

Huh? The system that gave them the double bye protected them from even playing. The original post was about how the double bye is an unfair system that protects the top of the league which most of the time is the ACC’s golden boys. That they lost *this time* does not mean the system is fair

They had a double bye, no? That was what I was referring to.

The ACC will do everything to protect Duke and UNC over every other concern.

I told my wife we wouldn’t win this game because the reffing would be tilted towards the NC mafia. And it was. Our guys did not respond at all and looked beat. But the refs created that environment. ACC is crooked.

I'll be the first to eat crow on our recruiting shortcomings. Fran has helped change my mindset in short order. And it makes sense. Georgia hired a guy with NJ roots to help recruit NJ and the northeast. Texas A&M hired a guy with NJ roots to help recruit NJ and the northeast. If there's no...

whatever athletic ability that allows him to get into the lane and fouled at the highest clip for a guard in the P5 (100th percentile) is sure as hell elite The problem with all of these arguments is that "elite" is a moving target and subject to opinion

Judah gives a crap and wants to win. I’d rather have that w occasional outbursts than lukewarm guys with no fire

This is a high stakes gamble. They feel they have the high ground and lots of leverage, so they are flexing. I’d be inclined to tell them to jump off a cliff and see how serious they are about leaving the NCAA. If everything turns to dog crap, they will be blamed and will have deserved it.

He’s got elite body control and dribbling and agility Wish they were athletic abilities

If you had the “new HC” and “super young” and “pretty talented” marked on your list, this is exactly the kind of year that was the most likely

I think it's absolute garbage that the B1G and SEC would get more automagically. The assumption that more media money means they will have the better teams being codified into the selection process is silly stuff and is another way they will put their fingers on the scales. Swarmy B1G booster...

Thought it was confirmed that Shrader injured the arm vs Clemson, that it wasn’t related to the surgery

Yes. This is a different argument. Is the staff utilizing the best skills of the players in combination? Judah and to a lesser degree Starling and Q can get into the lane at will - which is a desirable skill. How is the rest of the team moving to take advantage of that? Can moving the ball get...

It’s his best attribute. People have lost their minds. “He’s selfish!” (He’s 1 of 1 in getting into the lane and getting fouled. We have benefited from this a lot.) “He keeps iso’ing” (he’s elite at this, so yeah he should do it less) C’mon. I wish he was a traditional 20 years ago PG - but...

“Hey! We just want to remind everyone that our program was embroiled in an epic child molestation scandal that stripped all sense of decency from a small man who could have done something but didn’t. It’s been years so most of you forgot! But we’re scummy and in a cult.”

I most definitely did not say he was a bad hire lol Hafley left because he knew he almost got fired last year. His trajectory was not getting better. He’s a coordinator. NFL will be good for him. Dino was a dead man once he wasn’t getting to 7 wins and probably contacted his agent the second...

You were the guy saying Hafley would be gone to a B1G HC job in 2 years before he even coached a game?! BOB has more of track record right off the bat and will be good at the coaching aspect. I question his ability to adjust to recruiting, NiL, and transfer portal stuff. We'll see. I don't...

I don't think that's everyone's experience? I don't miss the value at all and have plenty to watch. Instead of randomly flipping until I land on something vaguely interesting, I end up binging a whole series of something or a movie that I'm more interested in. Flipping and finding something...

Eh, ok. The truth is cable bundles didn't serve everyone and unbundling doesn't either. What makes the most sense to customers and the market is choice about all of it. I know it's built on things that don't really work for this kind of thing, but the way for it to work best (and the most pure...

I appreciate your boldness, but the proof of concept will be winning at a program like BC. It ain't Penn St and it's for sure not the NFL. NiL and player movement requires skills he didn't need at either job. Jury is out on Fran, but I wouldn't get too far over my skis w BOB
