I would have guessed Stormy Meredith.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

I would have guessed Stormy Meredith.

I'm not sure that he's still an option.

On a golf trip years ago one of the guys said that we had to spend the weekend using our Porn star names which I learned was the combination of the first street that you lived on and the name of your first pet. So, for the entire weekend I was known as Holly Fennell. Not good

All things aside I’ve never understood the “4 seasons” thing

Me either. We live within three hours(of all seasons too) of anything you'd want to do inside or outside. Hiking, skiing, surfing, fishing outside. Any art, sports, music you are into is here. The weather is generally always perfect. We don't have 3 or more months of depressing clouds or stifling heat, or bugs everywhere. I can't imagine living anywhere else, but different strokes.

Hmm: Spooky Pendergast doesn’t have much of a ring to it.

Oh boy, Country Manor Miyagi sounds like a superstar!

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Chances he commits next weekend?

I dont think its going to be a sudden commitment as far as announcement or publicly. He’s going to want an official news conference or do it during an nba game or somewhere pretty mainstream

I think what jdubs was asking was whether that visit will be the final domino before the announcement.

Surprisingly Syracuse has more players who have played in the NBA (56) than USC (48) and Auburn (30).

How is that surprising? Those programs can’t hold a candle to Syracuse historically.

One of my best friends who currently lives in LA and grew up in Miami ended up picking Syracuse over USC. Just my 2 cents, but college kids are more focused on selecting schools based on campus life where we as adults are looking at the entire picture of a place. 18 year olds aren’t picking a place to live permanently.

Besides, USC basketball is an afterthought in LA. Stars want to play where they’re going to be the star attraction.

All things aside I’ve never understood the “4 seasons” thing

Right. I’ve done my time on the east coast. Grew up in Delaware, HS in Ohio on the ‘snow belt,’ four years of oppressive, malevolent, barbaric Syracuse weather, and 25 in Manhattan. Sure, every year, there are a dozen days of ‘transition’ weather, where it’s just magical, and things smell and look a certain way, and those are memorable.

But, after living in LA and San Diego+ for the last 12 years, I can honestly say that there has never been a day where I woke up and wished it were 45 degrees instead of 78.

There’s never a day when I reject an opportunity to do something because the weather is ugly. After I started going to Brazil and leaving Rio and a stunning 90 degrees to fly back to gray, slushy NYC and its 15 degrees, where you have to protect your body from the outdoors, and your skin dries up from the fake heat indoors… I got more sensitive to the cold, mentally and just refused to go out if the temps were below 30….

That all said, and with my previous ‘defense’ of LA, I also did say that kids are choosing a 1-3 year preparatory environment and weather is not likely to be the decision maker. Heck, out of high school I wanted to go to USC, but chose Syracuse because SU had Newhouse. Weather is (just) a bullet point.

Sorry, how many players have we had drafted since 2018?
ONE.

USC?
Eight.

UNC? Seven. Duke? 20.

And yet during that Golden Era of USC basketball they still have two losing seasons and less tournament wins than us during that time. Truly a powerhouse you’re talking about there.
