Did Scoop test over the legal limit for testosterone?
It goes south in the summertime.
It's Derrick Wilson's fault.
Larry Williams' long range plan to turn scoop into a St. Louis-esque board is succeeding.

My bad... Benny hasn't been generating enough unique clicks lately. I'm working on something, though it might be five years until it's ready.
This off-season has been particularly terrible. I chalk it up to the following factors.
1. No transfers for the second straight year. I mean, what the hell? Roster turnover and determining who was at fault used to be a staple of off-season discussion. Remember the halcyon days of D.J. Newbill and Aaron Durley? Now we can't even work up a good Gabe Levin-like departure.
2. Wojo is boring and plays his cards close to the vest. Really this straight-laced professionalism is nice and all, but we could use some random goofiness like during the Buzz era. I mean, even the recruiting discussions have gotten stale. Good students with decent basketball skills. <yawn>
3. Lack of off-season player headlines. Yeah the players go to class. Yeah they practice during the off-season. Really how many videos can I see of Sam Hauser shooting a basketball? I long for the days of some dumbsh*t move by Todd Mayo to get everyone all worked up.
<sigh> Those were the days...

Or watching next year's season go down the drain because of an ill-thought-out move by our starting guard to turn professional.
Or, listening to the angst on this board because our point guard can't shoot his way out of a paper bag.
Or, worrying about whether our head coach will leave to take a head coaching position with _______ (fill in the blank).

Outstanding post. Bravo. No transfers for two straight years really is amazing. In light of recent scandals, I'm sure Louisville, Syracuse and North Carolina would love to have this kind of quiet offseason.
That said, I'm crawling out of my skin for some more recruiting news. Eke is a great start. And I know that only about a third of the top 100 players have committed at this point. But I'm still anxious to see how the Class of 2017 shapes up.

Well, we did have one guy who left with 3 years of eligibility remaining and another who was poleaxed (and is looking to transfer).

It's too bad they have to step in. Moderating is a thankless job.
I wish a few more of us would take personal breaks from the forums. Whenever you start taking it too seriously it's time to get some perspective about how important arguing with someone on muscoop really is in the grand scheme of things.
That being said: The mods are powerhungry a-holes that went so far as to hire a hitman to dispose of hoopaloop. Don't cross them. They're bad, bad men.

It takes a special kind of person to get themselves banned multiple times from multiple boards.
