By hate you must mean when I say "I do enjoy it"

OkST roster is pretty full so it might be tough to take a college guy. I would think the Georgia guys might be the most inclined to follow Roper but not sure where they would fit.

Agree OkSt should try and make their RTC as strong as possible. Assume Keck is going 86 and would compete with Zahid.

Is there a class that college coaches take where you learn to speak for for few minutes, allude to something indirectly without actually saying anything and then act like you spelled it out perfectly? It's almost like listening to Tom Brands speak. I do enjoy it, but find it funny that he goes on a podcast and after no one knows why he really left, the point of the podcast was to explain it not just talk for 30 min

If you take pictures you didn't take and put that information in text over it after the info is public, then you might have a business

The classic, I know something you don't but I am not going to say what it is...

Yes, the HOF was intended to be hyperbole but you were flabbergasted that there is still wide range on his potential has a coach. He did a good job coaching 1 of 10 guys for 1 season. Chertow was an assistant on a runner-up team and that being Gilman's floor is not crazy.

He should get credit for Spratley but 125 is such a toss up weight. He was at PSU last year when Davis didn't AA and none of their other lightweight at OSU AA'd, including 133 who didn't qualify for NCAAs. He did a good job this year but he has only coached for 1 year. Let's not put him in the HOF of coaches just yet.

And I thought when they were called Okie Lite it was offensive because of the "Lite" part so I always try and be respectful and call them Okie State.

Lenny Pinto to Rutgers is official: https://scarletknights.com/pinto.aspx

Unless you want to go down the donor dinner rumor mill, the most likely story is he wants to go back closer to his wife's family and didn't love coaching enough to continue to make the sacrifice.

I actually thought Pinto looked better at 174 once he got acclimated to the weight. He always seemed a little puffy at 184. Haines was coming up from 157 so while I think he filled out the weight well, I don't know if he was the biggest 174 either.

UNC is a good school but its not impossible to get into. Has admissions standards similar to Michigan and other top B1G schools. Plus they make exceptions for really good basketball players, I am sure they can get AJ in, who probably has a respectable transcript. I assume UNC main donor/NIL person s the guy that lured Koll to comback. I haven't seen the rumor of AJ's deal, but I would almost bet its going to be inflated more than his actual deal.

Interesting. Iowa was the speculation ever since he took his Medical year and they need a 197. All of the other contenders don't really need a 197 (to my knowledge) so it could Iowa or bust.
