I will reserve judgment until we have a complete roster. A lot of dominoes still to fall.
I do think that the staff needs to take this as an opportunity to change the narrative that is likely developing out there.
We have another season of perceived turmoil we are in trouble.

Totally reasonable.

Can't argue with that.  He follows you around like a dog, makes multiple alts to mock you, commits his entire sig to mocking you.

Really sad to see.

So answer this one question for me: In your experience, have you found it to be at all easy (or even possible in most cases) to have a grown up discussion with ThePAMan on the topic of Justin Fields?

The proof is in the pudding. He’s been absolutely toxic since those “debates.”

In fact, it’s been hard to have a grown up discussion on anything with him lately.

Totally reasonable.

I think there are some timing issues that are going to be a problem to navigate for this staff. Everybody else deals with this also, but we have more questions than most.

Other than a guy who wants to be lead guard/scoring PG like Cryer where we have nobody- higher scoring impact wings are going to want to know what is going on with TJS (who is probably gone), and Hawkins (who needs to stay to show he can actually shoot as he will not make an NBA roster otherwise but who the hell knows).

I guess staff could try and sell to a proven scoring wing that they can coexist with both TJS and Hawkins and get enough touches.

Of course any portal recruit will also want to know how they will fit in with the try hard guys (Rodgers/Harris/Goode) who are really not BT starter level, but UW loves them.

If no Hawkins or TJS which will not be known for awhile- then we have major PT for anybody over 6'2" who can actually shoot. But the premiere impact guys may already be gone.

Then there is the freshmen lead guard coming in Gibbs-Lawhorn who looks interesting, but is an unknown as to whether he will be happy coming off bench for 10 mpg.

I also think we need another quality 20 mpg post to either to start or share time with Dainja.

I feel like I’ve made myself clear multiple times. But I’ll try again. I am not actively seeking a change, but would not be upset with one. I do think there is risk we could do worse. That is risk I am willing to welcome. Is this unreasonable?

I don’t think I’ve seen a PAMan post that didn’t make me roll my eyes since this board started.

He started spending time on a board with Truth, JudgeJudy, and ILLove and became them.

He’s always been “that way,” but the old PAMAn was much more playful, and had a good sense of humor. He went from playfully and passively aggressive to aggressively aggressive.

I guess he really isn't registering that much to me as there has been so much psychopathic shit constantly this year by IVMP and Squeaky Pedophile drowning everything else out.

It’s mostly on display in the football forum, and the deuce. I never see you post there.

Anyway, getting back to this…the sheer volume of bellicose language and derision I’ve encountered from him for merely believing there’s a “decent possibility” Justin Fields could (become) a franchise quarterback is beyond anything IVMP ever did. It’s dozens upon dozens upon dozens of pages of multiple threads.

It’s literally soured all of our dialogue in every area, and the entire board for that matter. Talk about narcissistic and OCD.

Are you advocating that someone be banned…???? 😁
Because FOX News told me so…

It’s not that I don’t believe you, I do. But where did you find this stat? I’d be curious to read about it.

There were 1,123 d-1 scholarship basketball transfers last year. A little over 360 teams. Do the math.

I think the percentage of kids who transferred had been pretty high (like 30+ %} even before they ended the sit out penalty. I think the big difference now is more star players are leaving teams.


I think NIL has had an impact for sure.

It's a different world and coaches and programs need to adjust.
