If someone has won in court against an organization, and the organization subsequently threatens someone that can provide a remedy, a judge is not likely to tell that someone, "Sorry, can't do anything about that." That judge would want that decision enforced.

I agree, but what else is there to do?

    With Spears Jr. ... he is making a fair # in year one from what I hear. This wasn't a bargain recruitment for Texas. That was Austin Goosby who took half of what BYU was offering to be at Texas. But t

    Seems like we have good reason to have a thread to chat on all summer and through the season.    Team workouts begin June 1, I believe

    I do think Texas is potentially better at every position (not to start the season at SG), with one distinction ... Texas played two SF's last year and not a traditional 4 man, so they are combined.

Not sure what's "better" in this context. I'm thinking historical importance. 

I saw the post with the city limit sign for Detroit, TX. I remember playing Detroit in a tournament in Sulphur Springs in December 1988. Their fans had a chant that went something like, "De-Troit, De-Troit. We're coming at you now and we're gonna rule the court, De-Troit, De-Troit." We won the game something like 77-61.

Harvey doing work reminding people that the "Ignore" function is available; very possible he ends up in a conversation with himself arguing about if Kobe is a better player than Kobe

How about everyone cool down and let the seniors play? The NCAA already poisoned the well by saying that fourth-year seniors weren't covered. And the judge said other rules weren't affected, so if you aren't already in the portal, too bad.

I do not see what the big deal is. Every other class can play, and nobody promised them 5-for-5 when *they* signed.

Much ado about nothing.

He was my first - about 20 minutes after I joined the site when he was cursing out a recruit for not signing with Texas.

Wide open season

I think the NC winner is wide open for sure

I do think three No. 1 seeds could be a done deal, assuming teams stay healthy. Florida, Duke and Illinois

Teams fighting for the last No. 1 and the four No. 2 seeds...

UConn
Texas
Tennessee
Arizona
Arkansas
Michigan State
Louisville
St. John's
USC

3. Illinois - David Mirkovic has to come back from broken foot/surgery July 31

4. Michigan State

5. UConn

6. Texas

7. Arizona

8. Tennessee

9. Arkansas

10. St. John's - Dillon Mitchell signing with Boston Celtics knocks them down a few spots, as he was best chance to help replace injured Donnie Freeman

11. Louisville

12. USC - big man just got injured, but young depth is quality

13. Michigan - losing Dusty May will matter

14. Virginia

15. Miami

16. Vanderbilt

17. Alabama

18. Missouri 

19. Houston

20. Gonzaga - was top 10'ish level before the PG porked Few

Not sure what else to call it when you are practicing with the Zags team in July, and leave with no warning or convo and sign a pro contract in Europe. He totally f&^%#d Few and Gonzaga. 

Good for him. Not a&m and went to a way better program. Who knows how much he'll play but Sampson will get the most out of him

Agreed. Should be a solid spot for him. Sampson definitely will take advantage of his effort.
