I guess in the era of the portal nobody believes development of younger guys is a thing anymore. Hard to imagine how anybody coming up gets a chance with this mindset. You don’t know what the next man up can do if he’s never given the chance to be the next man up

That's a lot on the players.  They are jumping ship for other opportunities that guarantee them starting time verus sticking it out and developing.

 

This is something that has to be at the top of every schools list to fix.  These young men are being led to slaughter with lies.

Absolutely, but I’m talking more about guys like the Coleman twins and Jackson Christian. Unfortunately, we’ve seen that a lot of guys are going to jump ship, but not all will. I hope some of these young guys prove a lot of people wrong and step up for us next year

For some reason, here in America especially, folks think that they can simply 'order' ANYTHING - a great coach, loyal players, good health, etc.  It's an odd phenomenon.  

I trust our system, and love the haul that we had.  If you build it, they will come - right?

Well said.  It's irritating that calling out entitlement has almost become taboo in America.  It reminds me of the type of new college grads that entered the workforce around 10 years ago.  My message to them is, "No, I'm not an angry old man yelling at the clouds, I'm an angry old man yelling at you".

Chatham is a Junior and has stuck it out.  Same with Cojoe, though he is coming off an injury.   Niblett stuck it out and found his place and shined.  I wish more players would see the success that sticking out has given players versus bouncing around.  

 

I would love to see the stats eventually of players drafted based on # of schools they went to.

Kobe had three world professional titles by the time he was as old as half of Indiana's team. This is all pure crap.

22 is the college limit for legitimacy. Ain't no flex. Arch ain't Kobe so far. 

Ain't nobody Kobe, but analytics a hole won't admit it.

so if Arch stayed all 5 years, it wouldn't be legitimate anymore, got it.

It wouldn't be legitimate he if he played college when he was 23. That's not hard to understand.

Arch might not be Kobe, but we do want him to be the best.

If you feel this confident you should bet the house on us sucking. Don’t let that scouting talent go to waste. 

Never said suck but that isnt a natty oline and rb situation.  How bout u bet the house on a natty then if ur so confident they figured it out.

Reading the Bible can impact you more than you’d imagine.

That's great advice for most. You want to be the best, read Homer, Plato and watch Kobe. 

I mean, Jerry West did tell Shaq that Kobe Bryant was already better than him when Kobe was 17 in July 1996.
