A quick review of your posting history provides all the evidence necessary.  I can only lead you to a mirror, I can't make you look in it.

How is that flip flopping? Please explain?

I said I haven't seen anyone talking about him for either award, I didn't say anything about him not winning BE COY.  He should be a lock.

I'll await a response.

Well then next time you should probably say "i havent bothered to look at one anyone is saying"

Because as evidenced, if you had even remotely of followed COY talk at a 5% clip youd know hes been mentioned.

I never said anything about him not winning BE COY.  For my money he should be unanimous BE COY and National COY.  I just simply said he won't win National COY because everyone seems to be obsessed with Painter.  I just hadn't seen any real buzz for Shaka being a real NCOY contender.

Good Norlander coverage

Thanks for posting. The article is interesting in that it's not just another Shaka profile piece. This is the deepest look I've seen on Shaka's philosophy regarding transfers. Our NIL pool of $$ will not be allocated to some star who is looking for "some sort of bag."

"You ain't getting a lot of these guys unless they're getting some sort of bag," Smart said. "Number one, we weren't in position to do that. Number two, we're not comfortable doing that. Number three, we didn't want to ever prioritize some random guy from the Mountain West Conference over our current players. That's ludicrous to me."

There are other real pointed quotes in there, too. Very worth the read.

Also ... I never get tired of looking at that layup by Vander, so thanks for that, too!!!!

Charges against Chris Beard dropped. Guess this means he did nothing wrong or illegal.

Will he coach again soon? Next season. 2024-25? Which program will bite?

Who would want a coach who chokes when push comes to shove?

Wonder what P6 job he has by the end of spring

Literally everyone who’s been writing about NCOY in the past number of weeks lists Shaka.

I get it.  I haven't seen it until now.  Guess I missed it.

Really enjoying Northwestern wiping the floor with IU right now.

I’m enjoying everything right now.

Louisville?

I think you are right. UofL has proven for decades that winning is the only thing they care about.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I thought the charges would be dropped eventually. Not because Beard is innocent (hard to buy innocence with that police report) but because once you have an unwilling complainant it is rare for these kind of cases to go forward. At least here in the great state of Texas.

I don't think anyone will hire Beard in the next coaching carousel. Maybe he gets a job in a year or two but I think it will be outside the P6 and he'll have to earn his way back. I think he is actually radioactive enough to not touch for now...though no one ever got rich betting that athletic departments won't prioritize winning over everything else

"In contention for a 2 seed" Indiana? LOL.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Indiana was the only team on the 5-seed line that I was "worried" could make up to the 4 seed line and potentially bump us out. After last night, Indiana got pushed back a bit and I think we might be on the 3-seed line now.

They are doing the top 16 reveal Saturday right?
