So if somebody new pops up tomorrow does that mean Dr. Strange is behind it?

It means they kept it well hidden.

Is there a specific player you are hearing? Not asking for a name, just curious is you could elaborate.

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

I guess the Lally’s didn’t put their name on the football building.

Those are different types of donations though. Pretty sure the Lally's gave to the University, not John Doe SF from West Kalamazoo. Pretty sure they've given to the University repeatedly throughout the years.

Also, I am not aware of any nonalumni in the University's modern era who have their name on a building. Dineen, Falk, Goldstein, Davis, Barnes, Anthony, Newhouse, Ensley, etc. I believe that is done non only to recognize their financial contributions to the school, but to recognize and promote their prominence as successful graduates.

Wait so that whole entire time we were talking about him he wasn’t even in the portal?

This board was tampering

Little more on ole Claude too - sounds like he's keeping options open which is smart like Fland is doing -

 

[Fly Rodder]

Only closed for new entries. Guys can take as long as they want to sign somewhere. And the portal isn't closed for players who've had a coaching change.

He played a major role for Louisville. He was their constant lob threat.

Lob threat is very attractive for what we are building! Maybe we go for it on this one….

Why are so many players with no eligibility left entering the transfer portal?

Several college players, including at least a half-dozen from the ACC, have entered the NCAA's transfer portal despite not having any eligibility left.

Can you imagine what happens if this happens? Are coaches saving places for the addition of any of these players, will there be another lawsuit if players who are currently committed get over recruited but are stuck because of timing, if this lawsuit is approved? I can see bedlam ahead.

I wonder if he’s asking for fava beans and a nice Chianti to go with his $1mil?

It's not the worst thing if other teams wonder if one of your bigs is a serial killer.

Didn't Baylor try that approach?

 

[Dcuse]

Really? If the Saudi's offered me 1 billion bucks, and I mean it, I would tell them to, well you know

Not me. I believe a member of the richest Saudi family was a student here. If he somehow loved Cuse sports and wanted to tap into his family's riches, you're telling me you would turn it down??

Well executed joke.

I am. I have the money I have. If someone else wanted to take Saudi money, that is on them. There are a lot of groups I wouldn't take money from.

 

[GoSU96]

So just to confirm, you'd take money from anyone? Private Equity? The Saudi gov't?

Since neither of those entities are giving money away without a likely return on investment I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. Such a silly absurd argument.

I must have missed where Weitsman is looking to buy a stake in the athletic department.

 

[Dcuse]

Anyone that gives big dough have that right in my book. Beggers? Choosers? I will take help anywhere we can get it.

What happened to this approach?
