  1. I know Todd. I have no doubt he wants what's best for the boy. What's best for the boy is to secure his financial future.
  2. Gerry has reported numerous times that it's a complete NIL recruitment.
  3. Louie isn't involved in Camara's recruitment. Todd is.
  4. Khardman: As the article linked states, Todd is the guy who brought Ismael to Gilmer to play football. I won't explain in great detail. Todd's dad was a well known guy in Gilmer sports in the 1980s when we were all teenagers. Todd's dad was our summer league basketball coach. Todd went to Germany as a foreign exchange student after graduation. That's where he established his European contacts. Todd's dad was always great to me. I was best friends with Alan's little brother Neal growing up. Their dad was the Methodist Minister at Soules Chapel in the 1980s. Must have spent about 1/3 of my time at their house from the age of 10-16. Their mom was maybe the nicest lady I ever knew. All this to say, I know the sports pedigree here and I can read between the lines. Stay away.
  5. I went to high school with Todd Robison and Gilmer Head Coach Alan Metzel. I'd say Texas should move on.
  6. We need more on the genius of Marcus Freeman. Maybe he's a scheduling wizard as well.
  7. After game one of the WCF, I thought Wemby was ready to firmly establish himself as the best player in the world. The lack or rebounding since then, and the overall failure to take over when needed has made me think he's not really there. Of course, he is from France.
  8. The biggest scam in college sports media is football recruiting nonsense.
  9. Apparently Wemby has decided he doesn't want to rebound. It's embarrassing.
  10. Michael Jordan is widely considered the superior, more efficient, and more accomplished player overall. However, regarding mental toughness and sheer work ethic, Kobe Bryant is often considered tougher than Jordan. Even Michael Jordan himself admitted that Kobe may have been mentally tougher than he was, pointing out that Kobe had to build his game from the ground up as a self-made player.
  11. Glad to see AI says 2001 Lakers would beat 1996 Bulls and 2017 Warriors.
  12. The NCAA was established by Teddy Roosevelt with federal overreach typical of TR. It's not going to make it.
  13. The NCAA isn't going to receive immunity from lawsuits. Even if Congress passed something along those lines, the Supreme Court would strike it down because the SC has already said they won't entertain giving the NCAA an anti-trust exemption. Now, having said that, there's nothing in the Constitution that says you can't have a monopoly or trust in late nineteenth century parlance. What needs to happen for some kind of congressional help to occur is some kind of governing entity needs to incorporate market principles into their "rules." Given the NCAA's tainted record, I can't see this legally happening. You need a break away from the NCAA and fresh start.
  14. The CSC is not truly independent of the NCAA. They were established by the NCAA to serve an NCAA function. The CSC won't exist much longer because it's a stupid concept. You can't legally tell someone how much a marketing deal is worth. We said as much when this nonsense started last year. If you want to get a "handle" on collegiate athlete compensation, you must negotiate a deal with them. Contrary to uninformed sportscaster opinions, this does not necessitate collective bargaining. There are literally millions of examples of controlled pay structures that don't have collective bargaining.
  15. Can we get Arch to hook up with Katie Stewart?
