Nate Kingz in the portal

[dasher]

What a concept. They don’t pass kids that can’t pass. What kind of trickery will they think of next.
Now tell me how great NY is doing.

You aren't really going to argue that Miss is better than NY at education, are you?

Did you know that changing the test population was the most impactful part of The Mississippi Miracle before I linked to that?

Mississippi 4th graders?

Honestly, nothing is more Mississippi than Brett Favre using state welfare funds to build a volleyball court for his daughter's university.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Yes, now do NY.

But why? You already admitted that pedagogically there isn't anything that Mississippi did that accounts for their "improvement," when the initial post you responded to stated this:

or Louisiana, Alabama, Kentucky and a number of other SEC states where they care more about college athletics than the poverty and literacy rates

Which you then refuted by asking to compare Mississippi and New York's literacy rates, which I then gave a little more color to your specific reference of Mississippi. Where are you trying to go with this exactly?

That movie isn't all that good overall, in it it does have a few moments.

If you aren't sure you'll be eligible, you basically have to enter the portal. Syracuse can't save a spot just for him not to get a waiver. If he gets a waiver and gerry says he'll start, which I would do, maybe he'll come back. Gotta keep his options open though. I hope he gets a waiver and we re-recruit him.

I’m going to miss watching Nate Kingz at the foul line and wondering if he is a fine basketball player caught in a jazz drummers body. I will miss him.

TL;DR

Tobiason is far better. He can actually pull up off the dribble and create pull-up jumpers. Kingz can’t do either.

Kingz was a good player for us! How do you think he was scoring when his 3 point shot wasn't falling for the first six weeks of the season? That's all he did! (Oh, and still play good defense ...)

 

[IthacaMatt]

someone above explained why he had to go in the portal regardless of where he might want to go.

Yes, to keep his options open, right?

Yes, to keep his options open, right?

if hes not in the portal his eligibility ends regardless of the appeal.
