It's a farce to call them student-athletes. It's a bigger farce how much money the schools make off of these "amateurs." NCAA has a monopoly on getting to the NBA. If this works for him I think we see a lot more kids go this route. I fully believe that he likely wouldn't have been eligible so his hand was forced but I don't dislike the decision for him at all.

I don’t disagree with anything you posted, but he’s still full of crap. It’s just annoying to me. And maybe this belongs in the pet peeves thread. Recently my nephew (who is a little arrogant, spoiled prick) magically returned from boot camp. We threw a huge party for him right before he left! I gave him a card with $100! “Uh, yeah I just realized that the Army wasn’t the best option for me. I’m going to start off taking a couple classes at OCC and then look at pre-law programs.” His Father told my Father that he just quit because it was too hard for him. Was crying his eyes out when they picked him up. FULL OF CRAP!!! Be a man and tell the truth, you puke! ? Now here is Bazley....after totally disrespecting the coaching staff by withholding this until he last possible minute. Leaving them scrambling.... Now he’s grandstanding like some kind of pioneer. Give me a break ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break ? Sorry everyone I was too much of a kitty to make it in the Army Did Bazley get notification that he was going to be ineligible or just find out himself? I remember having to go through the NCAA clearinghouse to play athletics but I don't remember when I got my clearance. I did chuckle when I saw SU was his "dream school" made me think of Marrone. I wish he would take a couple of the Duke recruits with him too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word around the campfire is that the diploma is very important to him and his family. A lot of folks think he is staying one more season. ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s true and he’s done as a rising sophomore that’s pretty impressive and kudos to him for being way more focused than I ever could have been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don’t understand your point, or how it’s related to the current conversation. Also, “tit in a wringer” made me laugh out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 JB and G-Mac having an in-home visit with Joe Girard today. Looks like Boeheim and Coach K are going after him like rabid pit bulls. Hopefully, with the “over recruiting” practices at Duke gathering some media attn as of late (see Jordan Tucker, Quade Green), he makes the wise choice and stays in NY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden would be a huge get for us at this point, and it appears that it’s a 2 horse race between SU and Illinois. Although Cuse is heavy favorite according to 247. Don’t know much about Braswell.
