We have won there now 6 times all time I believe. 3 of them were by Bruce. Of the good sec bball programs it’s the road venue we play the best at consistently imo. We could easily of had 2 more wins there in the Bruce era. We blew a big lead there in the coop year and of course lost the OT game 2 years ago there.

We may not be good at it now (in basketball) either, but we had pretty complete whiffs back then. Green, Kuminga, Brown, Scoot, Kessler, I'm sure you remember more than I do off the top of my head. Maybe not all of those were because of NIL, but it was rough outside of a couple gems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why some of those guys went to the G league. With nil almost all the top prospects are going to college. The G league ignite was just a fad for a couple of years that NIL has made it completely irrelevant for 1 and done guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it started July 2021, so definitely after most of the prospects I listed had their initial recruitment, you are correct there. 3 hours ago, GwillMac6 said: lol you completely are missing the point.

The G league ignite was just a fad for a couple of years that NIL has made it completely irrelevant for 1 and done guys. I completely understood that point; the NIL just started later than I thought it did. I do remember us not being great at NIL in the beginning of it, but that just didn't apply to these specific recruits I listed earlier. To Cole's original point though, we still have had some pretty good wing development that recruits were ignoring to go to the GLeague, and still appear to be ignoring. Even in the NIL era, the only quality HS wings we've gotten are Chance and Jakhi, the latter of which had the label as being a bit of a headcase as a prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I said him and Chaney were going to give us so much versatility on defense but it's even more than I imagined. A couple of people asked I need to talk about how we are so good defensively we have become a better offensive team. Our length and depth now, we have become monsters and that's what we had been missing the last couple of years. Defense and a steady ball handler. This year Pearl has impressed me with so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike is the king in basketball, and would strengthen our chances with elite prospects even more. I would be highly po'ed if we went with Adidas. Adidas is the little brother/stepchild in the basketball world, really no better than Under Armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, I think UnderArmour has some great products that I wear for athletic endeavors to this day. Shoes are not one and they are arguably the most important. I had one pair of UA shoes and they were trash after three weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adidas is the little brother/stepchild in the basketball world, really no better than Under Armour. I think in this business environment, Nike is the choice. I don’t wear them personally because I go for comfort and then running. Although Nike was a runner run company at the onset, they have been surpassed. I prefer Asics and Saucony for running and Merril’s for comfort. Note: I am old. Edited January 8 by NCAubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think UA moves you up one rung on the totem pole, but it would definitely be a half measure if the idea is to make a splash in basketball. If they just want an improvement, then I wouldn't be mad at Adidas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
