He's not necessarily wrong about not being sent to Beijing in 2022, he was second at the National Championships and normally the first three would go. But they sent the fourth place finisher Jason Brown, I think on the basis that Brown had international experience on the senior level, it was somewhat controversial at the time. Nathan Chen was the big name that year ( he had gone into the 2018 Olympics with high expectations and also failed to medal after an awful short program). Going there, with no medal expectations, might well have helped him deal with the Olympic pressure.
I thought that he was quite gracious in the interview afterwards, after a crushing disappointment at his young age.
I enjoyed the Kazakh skater, and am happy for him.

Quote from: SaveOD238 on Today at 03:38:11 PMFull season stats like KenPom and NET are great for what they're for, but for this years team, I care a lot more about trajectory. 

To wit, if you sort since Jan 1, Marquette is a bubbly 53rd in Torvik.  If you sort just since 2/1, Marquette is playing like the 23rd best team in the country.

We're not dancing, and probably aren't NIT-ing, but right now we are playing like a team that could be. And with how we started in November and December, I'll take that. 

It's almost as if the rotations were criminally insane earlier this year and sabotage the season early.

If you use it correctly.  Talent evaluation and fit are needed just like with old fashioned recruiting of high school players.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 06:50:29 PMThe NCAA held fast to its rules, and he was denied three times. Chambliss did not provide documented medical evidence that he could not play in 2022. Ferris State could not find the practice logs, which could have shown Chamblis was participating (they claimed they went to a new system and it would be too expensive. What a joke). Chambliss never once mentioned academics in his testimony, either.

The fact is, Chambliss went out and found an Ole Miss grad judge who gleefully announced his decision, which was probably written before the hearing, much like the one-time transfer exception decision, in which a 45-page holding document was magically produced within a half hour of the conclusion of the hearing.

If the NCAA is dead ESPN has been a major contributor to its death, so F them. I found it amusing when the Tennessee AG complained about the transfer portal and the movement of players. You know, the guy who brought the suit that invalidated the one time transfer exception rule. "Arsonist regrets that the fire he sent to his neighbor's house spread and burned his own.


Trinidad Chambliss SHOULD be eligible because he is fun as hell to watch.
