Let's let him answer that in his own words:
Kolek opted out of the combine's five-on-five games, which can often look like disorganized pickup runs.

"We just thought that the brand of basketball that they play here isn't the style that I play," he said. "I'm getting people involved, I'm sharing the ball, playing the right way.

"It felt like a lot of guys are just trying to get their games off here. Not trying to play the right way. It wouldn't showcase what I can do the best of my ability."


Also, Tyler can't read so he didn't know what time the game was

Let's not forget also that a ceasefire existed on 10/6/23. Hamas violated that on 10/7/23. There is no possibility of a 2 state solution when the only satisfactory outcome is to drive the State of Israel into the sea...none, hey?

#fromtherivertothesea

#neveragain

Only incurious simpletons think there was a ceasefire on 10/6

Act I Scene II
Granchild #1- I want to ride the Jungle Cruise with GrandpaMU82!
Grandchild #2-me too! That is his kind of humor
Parent-sorry kids, Gramps likes his peace and quiet more than he likes you. You can talk to him tonight from the hours of 7-8:30. It's his bedtime then.

That sounds perfect!

And the hugs I'll get when they're done with WDW and we're back together again will be great, too.

Did the Buffoon use a sharp, dull, or rusted knife when he backed Bibi, hey?

You're voting for antisemites. Sad to see that you're as big a fraud as they are.

Who said it?

“(Netanyahu) has been hurt very badly because of what’s happened here. He was not prepared. He was not prepared, and Israel was not prepared."

“I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down. That was a very terrible thing, I will say that."

“They have the most sophisticated equipment. They had—everything was there to stop (the Oct 7 attacks). And a lot of people knew about it, you know, thousands and thousands of people knew about it, but Israel didn’t know about it, and I think he’s being blamed for that very strongly, being blamed.”

"“I had a bad experience with Bibi. That was something I never forgot.”

“I will say this, Bibi Netanyahu rightfully has been criticized for what took place on October 7.”

"F**k him."

Yeah, but did Dementia Don use a sharp, dull, or rusted knife when he ripped Bibi, hey?

We know the former Antisemite In Chief used a very sharp knife when he made hate-filled comments about American Jews.

Except there is no real evidence that fans are being driven away from college football or college basketball.

And while I agree that conference realignment is greed, I don't think NIL is. The current NIL environment is all about the NCAA and its member school digging in on amateurism until it lost control of its own destiny. The fact is many college athletes had values greater than their scholarships, and now we are living in an environment where they are allowed to max out those values.

And honestly good for them. There has been a lot of money flowing around intercollegiate athletics for years and it has mostly been used to build fancy new buildings and enrich the coaches and administrators in charge. So I am not going to hand-wring about Jonas Aidoo getting $1.4 million.  I have no idea if its sustainable or not. That's not my problem. It certainly isn't Jonas' problem. Grab that bag! Be smart with it. You will have a jump start on life that 99% of people your age won't have.

So don't blame the players because the adults in charge were unwilling to change. If everyone could go back a decade, the path would be easy. But a lot of people were paid a lot of money to be "in charge" of something. And they ended up REALLY bad at it.

I don't blame the players at all. I just don't see how Marquette will be able to compete at the elite level and win Championships, and especially if the NCAA will pay out of basketball revenues any antitrust settlement. In the end it probably won't matter as the NCAAT will be gone as we know it after 2032 when the network contracts expire.
