I apologize to the board for creating this shitstorm. I forgot how easy it is to do this in the off-season, however unintentional it may be.

You have nothing to apologize for.

Dude you are the biggest feeder to the Recruiting hype machine. Again - I get the desire to help those who don't have the ability to see it for themselves - but it is nauseating to hear this shit. You have every fucking cliche' coachspeak recruiting assessment down pat. Shove your snowflake up your...

^ I guess the 15 posts in which that term has shown up on these message boards is too much for you guys to handle?

Jesus Fucking Christ.... Just rename the kid "Doctor Larry Johnson O'Neal Malone" and get it over with. Why the fuck do we have to keep coming up with all of these comparisons. This kid is his own person and if he resembled pretty much any of these HOF'ers he would be in Chapel Hill or Lexington ri...

^ Trying not to dig myself a bigger hole than I already did but what the heck. I knew I was thinking of a VCU player for my comparison. It was Justin Tillman, not Mo. Tre is a little bigger than Tillman and you are right when you say there is no exact comp for him but Tillman is closer than Tre. Ju...

His game reminds me quite a bit of TJ Cline who won the POY while at Richmond

There are some differences between the two, but this is the best comp I can think of for Tre.

When I watch videos of Tre, he reminds me of Mo Alie-Cox, but with much better offensive skills.

In what ways does he remind you of Cox? I see very few, if any, similarities between the two.

^ VCU is in just about everyone's top 25 that I've seen. Some have Davidson in the top 25. Not too many people talk about top 40 or 50 yet, but I think if you asked most people who follow CBB they'd put Dayton in the top 40-50. That top 144 ranking stuff is mostly garbage. https://collegebasketball....

College Sports Madness has started their Top 144 for 2019-2020. SLU is #143, 6th in the A10. When you see some of the teams ranked ahead of them it's frightening. I'm not sure what their criteria is. https://www.collegesportsmadness.com/mens-basketball/top-144-previews Frightening? What's frighteni...

not a 3* in the bunch; is that since they are mostly still young so it's normally too early to be rated higher unless you are a Zion?

Basically, yes.

^ Let's face it, outside of URI, UMass doesn't really have any rivalries in the A10. UMass fans should be ecstatic if we can get into the AAC. Looking purely at recent on-field performance, the AAC wouldn't consider UMass. But as an institution, and looking at potential, I believe UMass is a strong ...

^ Chances are that someone will transfer out before the 2020-21 season starts, but I suspect McCall will be hesitant to accept more than 1 commitment in the early period unless he knows specifically who will transfer. I think you're right about Dominguez, he seems to be the most likely early signee,...

^ Quite right, use all the tools available to you, anything less is just stupid.

^ The rules committee seems to be convinced of their backward logic, the opinion of some random basketball fan wouldn’t change that.

I'm glad everyone is getting a good laugh at my idea. The funny thing is that my idea is far less silly than the notion that making the 3pt shot HARDER is going to somehow IMPROVE things on the offensive side of the ball.
