Don't really understand the point you're trying to make. Scoop has a history of way overeating to summer rumors about freshman/development in general.


Remember when Dex turned into prime AI during the summer and then morphed back into himself Nov. 1st?

Remember Juan's HS Senior mixtape?

All I'm (and I think tower) are trying to say is that we've been fooled too many times by scenarios listed above to jump on a hype train in the summer. Prove it to me/us in the fall/winter.

The point I am trying to make is that really you currently have no point.

No one is anointing him anything. No savior. Simply that by everything out of camp he's going to contribute immediately. Likely more than Kam did.

Basically your entire basis is "I've been fooled too many times by freshman, so nothing else matters. Must prove it in November"

Fine. But massively flawed.

Shaka, MU, and Shaka at MU are all 3 not immune to freshman having the EXACT year that people in the know are setting as an expectation for Owens

Just wild that there's push back on saying the guy is a top end bench and BE caliber lol

You'd think someone said he was 1st team all America.

My favorite lineup is whatever Shaka picks whenever he picks it.   That will be good!

I don’t know enough about iron or gravity batteries to offer an opinion on their efficacy in all honesty, only that these novel diverse experiments are good indicators of staying power of the battery concept itself.

I’ve actually been to that site in Pueblo you posted though! Got my green chile and covid from that work trip. For a place like Pueblo I’m assuming the pumped hydro isn’t as viable an option given the region’s worsening water constraints.

Fair... Iron Air is the target at Pueblo, and it seems like a great solution.  We'll see

Sorry about the COVID, glad you got some green chili!

In other Big East news, Creighton got a commitment from their highest ranked recruit in the modern area of rankings (27th by ESPN), choosing them over Alabama and Kansas:  https://hurrdatsports.com/creighton-mens-basketball/creighton-lands-2025-four-star-commit-hudson-greer/#:~:text=by%20Jacob%20PadillaSep%2013,other%20finalists%20Kansas%20and%20Alabama.

And St. John's hiring Ed Kull is a huge deal for them. I know he was someone on MU's short list.

Intersting addition for DePaul. I would not be surprised if he redshirted since he didn't have the summer to practice with the team. https://depaulbluedemons.com/news/2024/9/16/mens-basketball-depaul-adds-pierre-justin-to-2024-25-roster
In reading the DePaul story, I did not realize that Chris Holtmann hired Lavall Jordan as an Assistant Coach/General Manager . That is an interesting development for The Blue Demons . Gives them someone who can help with Player Development

I would take a solid 25/25 fiber connection over a 500 tier cable service. 

25 Mbps of low latency fiber >>> 500 Mbps of coax for 99% of your needs.

Good on your wife. Sounds like she knows Harvard is doomed

The sister was once trying (well, more than once, it's her M.O.) to big time us about having gone to Hahvahd and my response to her was "have you ever been able to watch your alma mater in the Final Four? No? We win."
