This is a good problem to have guys

And as a side note to that why are people honestly panicking about if he actually makes it here? The level of paranoia with some of the fans is off the wall. My god just relax and enjoy the ride. We have a top 5 recruit, you should be happy and if ya can’t be happy about that then ya need to get laid cuz you are way to serious about this stuff.

“Panic” is a stretch. Realistic concern is... realistic. Bazely just happened.
I think everyone is “happy” about him, but it’s like being happy you just got a new car, and still being afraid someone is gonna sideswipe you in it.

That is an absolutely horrible way to go thru life.
You can't spend all your time worrying about the thousands of "what if?'s" that could possibly happen.

I think the glass is half full.
Others may think it's half empty.
You think the glass is going to shatter, and its (half) full of poison, so if you don't bleed to death, the poison will get you anyway.

I think it’s a realistic reaction. We thought we had Bazely and he spurned us for a paycheck. We are in very much the same situation with Dior—expecting the regulations to change very soon. Being aware of those ramifications isn’t being negative, it’s being pragmatic and conservative with your glee. If you walk outside on a beautiful sunny day and immediately get a pigeonload dropped on you, if you walk outside the next day without looking up, that’s kinda not normal.

I had a positive emotional reaction to his commitment. But I think it’s only 50/50 that he plays for us. I can consider and discuss the possibility of him not playing for us without having any emotional reaction to it. A “concern” isn’t the same as handwringing anxiety. And it certainly doesn’t amount to ‘spending all my time worrying.’

Dior is going to Dior. Definitely beats to his own drum. And he owns it...

 

[Sherman20]

I wouldn’t worry too much about Dior. The pieces are starting to come together (more to come). I really believe he wants Syracuse, and he’s certainly recruiting his butt off for us. If the NBA abolishes the one year rule, Dior would be stupid not to evaluate the situation. The kid wants a legacy

The NBA would not implement the rule change before 2023, so no need to worry. We’re in the middle of a pandemic. This is at the bottom of their concerns.

I think people are worried about thr G-League offer he’ll get

Luckily I think the exposure and spotlight sells more to this kid than just a paycheck. The G league needs time to transfer the talent grab into being a tv fixture. I do think the big checks will matter to the kids who don't care about the college atmosphere or tv exposure of the college game. Dior definitely is all about the exposure.

Isn't your calendar a little overbooked?

 

[orange79]

No ban on large gatherings in Hell.

Isn't your calendar a little overbooked?

It's not like he's going to lack for time there...

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Isn't your calendar a little overbooked?

You know, you would think, but time works really differently down there

 

[orangefog]

You know, you would think, but time works really differently down there

What if we’re already there?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

What if we’re already there?

I can assure you, we're not.

It is possible that we are in the darkest timeline however.
