25/26 College Basketball

[Ron Swanson]

Yep, Flagg is Tatum without the Beta mentality. He'll be a hell of a player.

[MikeIsGood]

Buzz Williams to Maryland. Gross. I enjoyed not thinking about him since he left Marquette.

Rick Steves' Europe but it's AJ Storrs documenting the lower 48 as he matriculates across the land.

I'm guessing it went something like:

"We're not paying you $1M next season."
"Ok, bye."

[BroncoBuck]

Just imagine AK if he could shoot and gave a ****.

Flagg just turned 18.

He's the 3rd best prospect since LeBron.

I'll say it again, Flagg is rich man's Jimmy Butler. Stylistically and approach wise. Absurdly young. For anyone who isn't sure if that's generational, think of the best Jimmy Butler has ever been when he was dominating in the NBA finals, and then make that player better at every single aspect of the game. Flagg is 100% a better prospect than Wemby, I don't look at them as being on the same tier of basketball prospects because Wemby's offense is more style than substance, he's mostly a tall jump shooter that people like to ascribe extra value to because he has the ability to do certain skilled things at extreme height.

I said it before, but my comp for Flagg is late Spurs Kawhi. The things he does defensively at 17/18 years old are just unbelievable. He’s coming into the league as an immediate threat to make the All-Defense team as a rookie. His offense is the cherry on the cake.

It’s just bananas how good this kid is.

Kawhi is another very solid comp for Cooper, I just think stylistically Flagg does more point forward stuff than Kawhi typically does which reminds me more of Butler. Either way a substantially more talented version of those 2 guys is an absolutely sick player.

College coach of the year is so lol. I kinda get Pitino given the team turnaround (with a great portal class), but Pearl/Auburn is lol, and Scheyer/Duke 3rd in voting is major lol.

[MickeyDavis]

Pretty good first half

[RiotPunch]

Clayton is one of the best tough shot makers I've seen.

[MickeyDavis]

I have Florida -2.5. Fun game

Gators getting jobbed.

[MikeIsGood]

Clayton is not losing.

It's bad enough the NCAA gives Pearl, the biggest scumbag in the sport, a slap on the wrist for cheating everywhere he goes. I personally witnessed him cheating when I was at UWM. 1 of the starters was clearly not taking the tests in a class I was in.

They don't make them any slimier than Bruce.

Looks like Florida will survive, as will my big money bracket, barring a disaster here.

Settle down, if you don't think that happens everywhere you're naive as hell. I knew a guy who played for MU and he told me they literally rolled out file cabinets full of corrected tests for almost all classes as "study guides" I also know personally Tom Izzo did the same thing Pearl did at Tenn. for a local recruit from the Milwaukee area who he wanted at MSU. Copy and paste that for every single big time college coach in the country. These dudes don't win being choir boys. UW isn't as squeeky clean as you make it seem either from the lul worthy shoe deal, to the housing ****, and even Saint Bo Ryan. Not sure how you can call Pearl the biggest scumbag when Ryan basically bullied the woman he was having an affair with into silence.

You're showing your bias w/ the unofficial moderate athletic gear discounts like 25 yrs ago. No evidence it was from the top and if you think anyone's going to a school for that lul. Pearl just happens to get caught so much more than nearly anyone else. Speaks to the egregiousness.

As for the scumbaggery, go look what Bruce has been saying in his off time, & the boards he's on. If you don't think that makes him a mega scumbag, well...

Flagg is going to be such a big time bust

[Mags FTW]

Flagg is going to be such a big time bust

If he was a junior/senior, you might be able to make a case. He should be a high school senior right now.
