How Bright Is The Future?
« on: March 26, 2019, 12:47:29 PM »
This year, we lose Horace Spencer, Bryce Brown and Malik Dunbar to graduation.  Oh yeah, and Cole Blackstock.  I fully expect Jared Harper and Chuma Let's Have a Kiki to test the waters.  The great, or maybe the sensible thing about the NCAA in round hoops is they can do just that.  Test the waters and see what their value is, then come back if it doesn't look like a big payday is in the near future.

Harper has the talent, no doubt.  Obviously, it's size that matters.  Certainly, a 6 footer can make it in the NBA but there's only a handful that stick around and have any real impact.  Okeke may be a different story.  He has the size, skillz and has definitely shown he can knock it down from long range.  The very selfish part of me hopes he's told he's not ready.  Needs more work on his game.  I have a feeling that won't be the case.

However, what if everyone returns?  This will be a junior/senior dominated team with all the experience you could ever want.  And after this Friday and consecutive dates with blue-bloods, Kansas and UNC, that experience level will only skyrocket.  Who knows after Friday? Losing Bryce will hurt.  He's that pure shooter that can almost take over a game and forces defenses to respect the perimeter.  I think he'll have a place in the NBA, possibly in that 6th man role.

We have 5 recruits signed, 3 of which are 4-star guys.  #17 ranked class in the nation.  Pretty solid.  Some size ranging from 6'5" to 6'8", but isn't that Pearl's M.O.?  Allen Flanigan may be the steal of the class.  If most of these guys return and they're able to work all these freshmen into the mix, this bunch looks to be on solid ground for quite a while.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

I was told that size didn't matter.

Like when Bruce corrected the peanut gallery Sunday a week ago - there’s a difference in a top 25 team and top 25 program. This is a program.

We’re raiding the state of Georgia. And have been for a few years - okeke, harper, mclemore, brown and on and on. 

This is a bullshit story.

Two things:

1) Keep that shit in its forum.
2) When the fuck did I claim anyone as my "Queen"?  Except Howard.  That goes without saying.

I do question the free from infection with Uncle Sani though.  Who knows what Mrs. Sani has given him.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."
