Well, Woj is from MD and plays ball at noon. Sew, wee got dat goin' hour wey, hey?

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Dead brains are grey. Living brains are a mixture of white, pink, and red. Makes sense that yours is the former.

True chicos is dumb.  99% of people say the following...”hmm maybe i will drive to the dispensary and buy what i like with no legal repurcussions”

1% say” imma save $5 and go buy from a drug dealer and have no contril of product n potentially risk arrest n my career”

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Also...you should actually read articles before you post then having only glanced at the headline. The black market in California, according to what you posted, is thriving in the areas that haven't permitted dispensaries. So has it affected the black market? Yes, by pushing it to communities that don't embrace legalization. The Colorado exports, again, impact the black market by pushing the product to places it isn't legal.

Any black market sustenance created by deregulation is in places that have not deregulated. At least that's what the articles you posted said. But hey, dead brain at work 😂.

So funny!!! Chicos is sooo good at that, posting articles that debunk his position.  Classic chicos

LOL....I'll let  you decide

And on and on.  THRIVING.  As predicted by those of us with grey matter between our ears.  In the last 24 hours, stories in Canada about the same thing going on in Toronto.  Economics 101.  Supply, demand, price (i.e. no taxation in black market).

Knock it the hell off on this thread.  And absolutely nobody respond to him here.

Justin Lewis would be a nice first/second piece to a 2020 class.  Athletic guy along with Symir.  Been one of their top priority players

If anyone subscribes to 247 Meyer has an article about the momentum on the CB for Justin Lewis. Not sure if it provides any information about why the momentum is happening, but here it is:

No additional info other then he says Uconn, Maryland and Virginia Tech are also in contention.

[Dawson Rental]

I don't think that's true for anyone. If Duke didn't need to cheat, recruits would go to Kentucky, Kansas, or Arizona. I laugh when people say Cal doesn't need to cheat despite a history of cheating surrounding him at UMass and Memphis.

I agree that they all cheat, but it's specifically because their peers are cheating too that they all need to cheat. This is why a legal compensation method needs to be in place. Because we know the cheating is going on, we know the NCAA is relatively toothless thanks to its members not really wanting harsh enforcement, and even the FBI doesn't seem to be able to go after the big fish.

Anyone that says they don't want a compensation method (profiting from likeness, direct pay, whatever) is really saying they want those cheating the system to win.

Actually, I don't think that Cal does need to cheat.  He's now at a school where the alumni know how to get the job done on the sly without any school involvement.

[BCHoopster]

None of the coaches at the top hand out money to players but a bunch of alumni do, Al did not give money to his players but one of his cronies did

[Dawson Rental]

Ahh yes, because throwing money at them will solve the cheating.  Just like legalizing drugs, so the advocates claimed, would kill the black market....which of course it didn’t do at all.  Eliminate the market of corruption and it magically disappears.  LOL.

If you are going to cheat, you are going to cheat. 

Your last sentence is such a load of crap.  There are plenty of us that don’t want them compensated because it will mean a net loss opportunities for many young women and men as a result.  Aside from the fact that apparently since people can’t follow the rules we should just cave in and let the rule breakers dictate where things go.

Illegal drugs got legalized???  Damn, why didn't anybody tell me???

[tower912]

And what does it have to do with recruiting?

[Dawson Rental]

The irony from you.

No, they didn’t legalize those...yet.  You miss the point, again.

Maybe when you don't use an outright lie to make your point , it won't be missed?

[Cheeks]

Marijuana they did, sorry it wasn’t clear.  My mistake for saying it the way I did...100% my mistake...should have said SOME drugs.

Point remains, making it legal had the opposite effect intended.  Same will happen here.  Paying players, as a brew suggests, will only lead to MORE cheating, not less.  It is comical to think that will stop or reduce how cheating in recruiting (the topic at hand) will take place.  No way in hell will it.

 

[Dawson Rental]

They are compensated already and 99.9% of them getting more value then they give to the program. They come out way ahead, so your comment is false from the get go.  But I sure hope those Little Leaguers get paid that are on ESPN....and the high school athletes....Girl Scouts selling cookies....life lessons learned every day, but the man is keeping them down apparently.  What a tragedy.

99.9% - more hyperbole, unless you're trying to sneak non revenue sports athletes into the mix - which would be a kind of intellectual dishonesty.  If an athlete is not giving more value to their school's football or basketball (or any other large revenue generating sport) then they are receiving, then there is not a need to worry about them getting paid, the free market (of which, I assume you are a fan) will take care of that.   

Having to go to the ridiculous point of comparing Zion Williamson to a girl scout selling cookies, would cause anyone else to realize that their argument had deteriorated into BS.

[Dawson Rental]

Don't think any of the rest of us care where he ends up if it's not at MU......

I do.  I agree with Herman that there is value to being in the best basketball conference in the country.  Getting the best recruits (along with having the best coaches) is what gets you there.

Sneak non revenue sports...Lol.  Good luck paying only the revenue sports and not the others.  Yes, including all.

Even if I don’t include them all, the % of DI football and basketball players that play in the NFL or NBA is very small.  And guess what, many of them didn’t become Pro worthy UNTIL they went to college and got the coaching, training, etc that brought them to that level...meaning, they benefited for the experience.

Stop

[JakeBarnes]

So does weed legalization mean the crystal ball works?

[Uncle Rico]

RJ Davis gets a Louisville offer to go with one from UNC.

Could the moderators please stop people from ruining the recruiting  thread?

 If people want to argue about paying players and the wisdom or stupidity of drug legalization please start a different thread, take it to,the super bar or email each other directly.
