Taurean Thompson

In other words, it's 2am and the bar is closing.

More like--it's 2am, the bar is closing, and we're patiently waiting to see if a chick we've been talking to all night is down for a threesome with the girl we came with. Either way, you're not going home empty handed.

We'll be fine at the 4/5 with or without Taurean Thompson. We're not recruiting him with a focus on him needing to contribute next season.

I really like this thinking, analogy and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter!

I like it as well, but it might get this thread locked. Careful folks - what would we do if we can't post here??

Okay, I guess it's safe to say that TT is not officially committing today. Tomorrow then!

Terrance Ferguson has told Sean Miller he's going to play overseas for a year. Is it possible TT is lobbying for an overseas slot?

He'll fit perfectly in the 2 (stack) - 3 zone.

There probably are some examples, but it isn't common--at all. This is a very strange recruitment.

It was strange two months ago, now it is ripleys believe it or not stuff.

Yeah, if you're not mentally tired before you head into the TT thread,

Only if NJ breaks off and floats across the Atlantic. If East Lansing and Syracuse are too far from home, there isn't a chance he will head across the pond.

No worries, we will all be happy we sat through this in a couple years.

I'm just waiting for the Bill Pullman Gift from Independence Day in this thread

That would be called NJexit.

 

[Dave85]

This is not a recruiting thread. This is a sociological experiment on the mass internet response of a fanbase to an unrealistic and unreasonable delay in the announcement of a seemingly forthcoming commitment.

I thought and continue to think we are handling it well.

 

[Dave85]

I haven't been following this thread closely but i have to say this whole thing is fascinating to me. is there any precedent for a top 100ish guy to take this long to decide?

Taurean Thompson's recruiting situation is rare, but Syracuse has been here before

It's not Groundhog Day, is it? Hey maw, it's happening again.

Atlantic Ocean exit.

In the movie Groundhog Day, Bill Murray's character was changing the timeline so it was more in line with the many worlds theory of quantum mechanics. Just as our posts since the number 58 is now different.

I surmise that it is a fairly likely possibility. Mom might not care if TT is away as long as he can afford to buy her tickets. Sounds like a good way to settle their conflict. Given that he probably does not plan on staying in college for more than 2 years, which college he goes to should not be that big a deal. Makes sense that the delay is due of overseas considerations. If he cared about college he would have set a decision date in consideration of enrollment for the second summer session. Summer session enrollment seems to be of no importance to TT.

I think you linked the wrong clip...

The question is will this outlast the iranian hostage crisis.

Day whatever of Syracuse held hostage.

This clip better represents the TT thread:
