Maybe the only positive out of the TP is that it might result in a few young people getting a bit of education regarding the world.  Maybe some will get their eyes opened up as to learn who to trust and not.

I'm sure he had tons of friends telling him to "go get the money".  These leeches are always around and they only want success for the other so they can get in on some of the goodies as well.  The sooner people learn to recognize this, the better.  Pro athletes, musicians, etc. are faced with this all of the time.

Think he had coaches in his ear who are no longer employed by the schools they were at so the offers he thought were coming didn't

I'd be shocked if he didn't have bidders who could outbid us.  Maybe not the kind of offers he thought he could get, but decent offers.  Unless whatever injury he had this year was that big a concern going forward.  All-conference AAC is good enough to start at plenty of P2/AP2 schools.  I'd be interested to hear for certain what it was that made him change his mind.

None of us was married to Gabe Blair.  At least, I don't think so?

I'm torn on this, especially not knowing the details.

A young kid having a momentary thought about going to the TP just like MANY others are doing isn't something I like, but it isn't anything like shoplifting, drunk driving, beating your GF, etc.

Now, the real question is, What changed his mind?  If it was due to simply re-evaluation of the decision, that's not bad.  If it's only because he didn't get offers, then that still leaves a question regarding his commitment.

I think I'm okay with anybody that returns, especially after a short stint in the portal and, in this case, having missed the entire year due to injury.

I understand your thought process...but if I say that I am leaving, I am leaving, details do not matter.  the man wanted to leave....yet he is back.   cool...good for him that he will get a good education/degree and play ball, but I do not like it.  he wanted someone else, but they did not want him, so he came back...nah...but whatever....100% tailgating victory, the players do not matter anymore

Hated it when KD Davis entered the portal only to "return"?

      UAB (12/31/24)

      I'll be there. How is everyone feeling as we enter conference play? Overall I'm feeling good. We are 2nd in NET in the conference. The two best publicly available models, KenPom and Bart Torvik, have us as the 2nd best team in conference and finishing that way. Our defense has been really good; it's actually better than last season. The biggest improvement is in the defensive rebounding. We are pulling down 74.8% of defensive boards compared to 68% last year. Of course the team isn't without concerns. Although we start the same lineup every game, we haven't found a consistent closing one. There isn't a 'go to' scorer. The shot creation and/or shooting has been lacking in long stretches. So far our adjusted offensive efficiency is the lowest it's been since the 2019 season, but I don't think (hope) it will necessarily stay that way. I'd be disappointed if we don't finish at least top 4 in conference. The conference, as others have noted in many threads, just isn't as good as last season. Last season there were 4 other teams in the top 100 of KenPom and 7 in the top 150. This season there are 2 other teams in the top 100 and 5 in the top 150. Last year in conference we played 3 Q1 games and 5 Q2 games; this year we're projected to play 1 Q1 game and 3 Q2 games. A top 4 finish in conference means that we would need to win 3 games in Ft. Worth to go to the big dance. That's always the dream. The NIT as the consolation prize wouldn't be bad either. Could we host a NIT game again? Last year Indiana St., Princeton, and Bradley hosted opening round games. That would be a fun atmosphere.

      You have to consider many of these are the only entertainment option in town. Fargo, ND vs Denton. The entire state of ND follows the Bison.

      Is it just me or is Eric Morris destined for great things?

      It's just you bro. Same reason why you supported McCarney's #Hit6 campaign. The bar is in Hell.
