Good to see OE on the board if only for a cameo appearance.

 

[SUMBA]

[CiceroCuse]

Great to see the OE name in the thread!

Earlier @WojYahooNBA reported that Emmanuel Mudiay is considering skipping college and going overseas. I’m now hearing it’s done. He’s gone.

Seems like there is more to this story, no? Will be interesting to see what he signs for, and how that impacts his draft status for next year.

sounds like he couldn't get eligible and they are spinning it that he want's to support his family.

 

[cuseguy]

He's going because he wants to support his family, he says. His family couldn't get by one more year before he's a lottery pick?

That's what I'm thinking as well.

I love seeing the 44,444 next to Dans likes!

Sounds like we have an improper benefits issue.

Makes you wonder if another school snitched, and it will be interesting to see what kind of deal he gets from Under Armour. If it's 7 figures, then things could start to get very interesting with some of these top prospects.

Yes the Under Armour money will be interesting. As the article mentions, it will be interesting to see if he handles the overseas transition better than Brandon Jennings. And that's not to be critical of Jennings. It's a tough deal to go overseas right after high school so I'll be interested to see how popular this move becomes in the future.

To me, without changes in the NCAA system, a raise in the NBA age limit could lead to something that Sonny Vaccaro hinted at, which would be the shoe companies extending AAU for a group of top players. This group would travel and play pro teams in Europe/China with a hand-picked coaching/training staff.

The other potential outcome was hinted at in a recent ESPN magazine story and that was Silver wants to raise the age limit to force more talent into the D-League, which would give the NBA more interesting inventory to package for upcoming tv deals.

Why can't it be 444,444

I un-liked a post because it was 44,445.

 

[tptcuse]

Me too. It got up to 44, 446 and I had to unlike two posts.

You don't have to do that. I check once in awhile and adjust it to 44444 if needed. Easier for me I think.

There's no way to simply freeze it at 44,444?

I'm guessing a database script would have to be run at a scheduled time or interval. oe.sql

Or prevent a userid from gaining/losing likes. I don't know how configurable XenForo is in that regard.

Not that I could figure out. I'll ask a techie.

So did I.

Not to alarm anyone, but things are going to get interesting moving forward...real interesting
