No we’re not 8, but recruits, in HS and in the portal, notice. They want money and they want to go to the ncaas. We just proved we can’t get there with five stars.I haven’t seen any of the Pikes supporters (yes, I’m one of them) NOT acknowledge that it’s been a hugely disappointing year. And yes, he has to own it. But as far as everyone is noticing and laughing at us, what are we, 8 year-olds? Cripes, don’t be embarrassed, just get better. And the constant, incessant mud-slinging is way over-the-top (for me, anyway).
You said something in another thread that I agree with 100%. The fact that you can’t get emotionally invested in the one and done’s. Me either, and that goes back to the Calipari days. It sucks. It’s not college basketball, and nothing personal against our guys but I’m glad it’s over. You also said you’re nauseated over players making $1m. Me too, and I’m not even against ALL players being modestly compensated over and above their scholarship. It’s just different today, and not in a good way.
Also now, EVERYONE is a potential one and done.
