Tarczewski. Kadeem Allen. Stanley Johnson. Hollis-Jefferson.
Holy shit lol. These are hysterical once you dive in.

@dylans He clearly cheats.
There have been how many recruitments that went "It's a lock to X school." And last second that player somehow ends up at Arizona?
Markennen should have been at KU or UNC. Nope.
Ayton was "a Lock to KU". Nope.
Trier signed crazy early the day after an unofficial visit lol.
Josh Green, a UNC lock, psyche.
Rawle Alkins, final 8 in September of 2015. No Arizona on that list. Somehow ends up at Arizona. (His is so obvious it hurts).
Kobi Simmons never Visited Arizona before committing lol.
I mean it's so bad how obvious these are now looking back at them.

@Kcmatt7 I mean...money talks. LOL
At this point there are no consequences, so f**k it lol. I mean he hired Lorenzo Romar right after Book :)
Well I will never ever understand how Sean Miller is such a good recruiter. But I just need to accept it at this point I guess.
@BShark I didn't realize he was originally from Phoenix, Arizona. Makes more sense now.
Edit: he's from Australia lol. Nvm.
That's absolutely crazy lol. I like who we've gotten lately, but that's just not even in the same league.
I hope he is a little homesick...
Yea I bit the bullet and got a subscription awhile ago. It's quality content with quality commenters. People don't typically troll at a place where they pay for the material.
@Woodrow I'm pretty sure she signed with the Atlantic, not the Athletic
@wissox Honestly, I may watch that series the closest lol. That's just good tv. As much as I hate to say that.

@Kcmatt7 Wiseman is going to wait until spring.
Kofi and N’Faly Dante are the others we’re in on.
What are the odds that Dante reclassifies?
BShark said:
Nnaji can definitely play the 5, he's 6'11''. Don't really NEED to take a true center with McCormack around. He will be good enough in that role when needed next year.
Agreed. Just pointing that out.
We are 100% out on all other C prospects right?
Wiseman only comes here if the Lawson's have a better relationship with their family than anyone knows about. I could see a scenario where Dedric/KJ/Chandler/Keelon are able to sell KU from behind the scenes.
But that's about our only shot, imo. Besides that Adidas and Nike could also still be influencing this with "theoretical" endorsement offers after his one year. Let's not pretend the shoe war is 100% over lol. Just good business to leave an Adidas school on your final list...
At least this will probably be over in November.
Still no other visits set up yet either. I wouldn't be shocked if he came back for a real game on an Unofficial.
Sean Miller's ability to recruit continues to blow my mind. I thought he'd come back down to Earth when he couldn't pay guys. Nope. I'm just so confused.
Right, but this ignores two things. One, that our Government works for us. Not the globe. In theory, they're job is to put our interests over everyone else in the World's. Something we haven't done, clearly.
Two, unconditional trade only creates a scenario where countries ignore that their workers are human beings and instead treat them like complete shit just so they can make something as cheap as possible. By having tarrifs, we essentially force countries to treat workers more fair as a terms of our new trade agreement. Otherwise, we will just continue to artificially raise the price.
Look at what Mexico caved to in the new NAFTA deal. Guaranteed $16/hr USD by 2023 for anyone working for auto manufacturers. That is what should be happening with every major manufacturing country we trade with.
Of course we live in a global economy, but we get taken advantage of from it. The truth is, what Trump is doing needed to be done. Criticize Trump all you want about pretty much anything else. But his tarriffs have had the desired effect. He has won with NAFTA and the EU. China appears to be on their heels as well. The truth is the other countries had no reason to work on trade terms because they were benefiting from them more than we were. Now they are getting the stick instead of the carrot and they are caving.
Gotta root for the Brew Crew for sure. Cain was probably my favorite player on the 2015 Royals. Definitely the combo of him and Salvy. Those two just had so much fun together.
Like couldn't they have just "hired" Billy's mom or Silvio's Guardian to an "AAU Coach" position? This just seems so incredibly dumb to me. And a ton of unnecessary effort on Adidas' part.
Rockies pulled it out. Glad to see. Cubs team has an ego.
The creation of fake documents certainly does not help any of their cases. They also have a responsibility to file 1099s for anyone they paid that is not a Corporation or a 501C(3) so that the government know that there is income to collect from the individuals.
It's really funny, because if they didn't hide any of this, I'm sure they don't get caught and nothing is illegal.
But both parties (the parents and the coaches/Gatto) all committed tax fraud. I'm almost 100% certain. But only half of those people are getting charged...
This is the last game before the bye week. Providing WVU gives us the ass kicking we all expect, do we just kick Beaty to the curb now? Or do we let him finish the season guaranteeing he gets fired and we don't have any loons calling for Bowen to be the head coach after he somehow runs into a win?
I say, screw it, fire his ass and let's "officially" start the job search.
@approxinfinity Fair points. I'm just saying, could you imagine a Democrat running on the same platform Clinton ran on 22 years ago? It seems to me like Nationalism hasn't gone anywhere. More like the Left has gone away from it on their own...
What do you not like about a Nationalistic approach to trades and treaties?
I always thought T-Rob would end up being a really good NBA player. But he is undersized in a league that values the 3, which he can't shoot. It's too bad he hasn't developed that skill. He would be starting for someone if he could.
I think he will play much better than over the Summer. I think we all know he was told to force shots. We watched him be a great team player for an entire season ourselves. It will just be a bummer if he ends up being a guy that bounces all over the league like B-Mac.
@approxinfinity I don't know that the feeling of Nationalism has really changed. I just think the Left has gotten more Left on the issue.

That was only 22 years ago.
I'm confident that Gus would be offered a better job than us. I mean, if Will Muschamp can get $4M/yr at another SEC school after his disastrous stint at Florida I can only imagine what jobs Gus could land.
We would have to offer him the world.
Time to move on. Sure, everyone has done things they regret. No we shouldn't convict everyone in the court of opinions all the time. But I'd think that the Supreme Court is sort of the exception to that. There are essentially 861 current options, and really more if we didn't just limit ourselves to current Federal Judges. Plenty of good options out there.
I mean, can we not find one who isn't a liar trying to repaint their 17 year old self as a boy scout? Completely ignoring any allegations, had Kavanaugh owned being a bit of a degenerate in HS and college (as a lot of us probably were), I think people would essentially have no arguments to keep him off the court.
It was such an easy PR move that I don't know how the Reps blew it. All he had to say was "I drank as a kid. I did dumb things. Some of which I can't remember. And if I did something hurtful to someone without realizing it, I truly apologize for the idiot I was 35 years ago. But I'm a completely different person now than I was then. And I've proven that over the entirety of my career." If he just said that, it would have been nearly impossible for Democrats to argue against.
But he didn't. So, time to move on.
@BShark I just love the idea of landing Wiseman lol. Not for any other reason than seeing UK fans heads explode. Rupp Rafters would have a meltdown for a full week. A GoFundMe would get started so a private investigator could be hired to look for something shady. People would start the "Faaar Cal!" chant EARLY this season. It would be just one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen lol.
Wiseman reposting Stanley's instagram story.... Boy what a freaking coup that would be.
Imagine a scenario where we land Hurt, JRE and Wiseman lol. Talk about a jaybate "long stack"
What he was able to do with an unheralded guy in Pat White was incredible. He proved it wasn't a fluke with Khalil Tate. He certainly has the ability to take an athlete, put them at QB, and make an offense work.
@BShark He's probably a realistic option compared to other names that have been thrown out there. He recruits pretty well and gets the most out of the talent he has. RR does seem like the type of hire that is high risk, high reward. He probably has 10 years left.
I would like the hire for one main reason, and that is his offensive system. I'll quote from his Wiki page.
"Rodriguez is considered a pioneer of a no huddle, run-oriented version of the spread offense, although a pass-first version was already being implemented by others. He first developed this offensive approach at Glenville State and refined it during his stops at Tulane with Shaun King, at Clemson with Woodrow Dantzler, and at West Virginia most notably with dual-threat quarterback Pat White. This strategy features frequent use of the shotgun formation. Rodriguez is also credited for inventing the zone read play run out of the shotgun formation."
@BShark good bet. This VT game is a shock lol
@BShark yea a lot of covering going on today. And I just never have a good read on teams with gimmicky offenses. GT obviously being one of those.
@jayballer73 i'll admit when I'm wrong. And, brotha, you were right on the money. I'd still like to see what Kendrick can do, but Stanley should not lose the starting spot at this point without a ridiculously poor performance or injury.
Jayballer been tuting his horn for a long time.
Doesn't look good
Trevor Lawrence just got hurt for Clemson...
That was a TD by the QB. I'm so confused. OSU got screwed
Best case scenario is KJ is the real deal and starts over Vick. Vick coming off the bench would really let you know just how deep we are.
Bad coaching too. Why tf are they in a 3 point stance on a passing down with no rb in the backfield?

Our Oline still looks like complete shit
Yea bama will win by 70 today lol
I would love to see what the d would look like without bowen
Two plays, two wide ass open guys 30 yards down the field...
Carter is just making the easy plays. Maybe not hitting guys with bullets, but definitely getting the offense moving.
That touchdown was actually well coached. Good play call, good usage of the end of the 1st quarter
If you're looking for positives lol.
We have had a few plays that looked smoother than usual.
