I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
In football, that would help their strength of schedule, and in basketball, it would be a wash.
Given the issues with outside shooting, reliance on an injury and turnover prone junior and an untested freshman who is going to get knocked around trying to drive the lane in the ACC and piss poor post play, I have serious concerns about this team.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
Wake Forest deserves better than this
------------------
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Key Returnees: Chaundee Brown, Brandon Childress, Olivier Sarr
Key Losses: Bryant Crawford, Doral Moore, Keyshawn Woods, Mitchell Wilbiken
Key Additions: Jaylen Hoard, Isaiah Mucius, Torry Johnson (transfer), Ikenna Smart (transfer)
Danny Manning is entering year five at Wake Forest, where he has had a career that is actually worse on paper than it seems in reality. The Demon Deacons have never finished higher than 10th in the league standings, and the one year he did make the NCAA Tournament at Wake, it was at 19-13 and the Demon Deacons proceeded to lose in the “First Four.” Point being, he doesn’t exactly have a resume that screams “I deserve more time to figure this out.”
Nor does he have a team this year that will seemingly get him off the hot seat. Wake Forest finished 11-20 and 14th place in the ACC last year, and lost their top three scorers off that team. By the way, did I mention ALL THREE HAD ELIGIBILITY REMAINING!!!! Bryant Crawford (16.9 ppg) and Doral Moore (11.1 points, 9.4 rebounds) both left for the pros even though each knew they had no chance to get drafted (neither did), and Keyshawn Woods transferred to Ohio State. So yeah, when it rains it pours… and it is pouring in Winston-Salem right now. They return just one player who averaged more than eight points per game last year.
If there is one tiny glimmer of hope it comes with the arrival of Jaylen Hoard, a legitimate Top 25 recruit and potential NBA lottery pick – but even that’s a Catch-22. Wake needs Hoard to play well, but if he plays too well, he could leave after one year. The Demon Deacons will also need a big season from transfer Torry Johnson (who averaged 11 points per game at Northern Arizona last year) and sophomore Olivier Sarr just to keep their heads above water in the ACC – let alone compete for the top half of the conference standings.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
This could mess things up for everyone
-------------------------------------------------------
NBA agent and Klutch Sports co-founder Rich Paul called the choice of top prospect Darius Bazley to forgo college and opt for a $1 million shoe-company internship the product of a broken system, saying Wednesday that the on-court component of the next seven months was "the one thing that we were missing."
Bazley, ranked the No. 13 prospect in 2018 by ESPN, decommitted from Syracuse in March and said he planned to play in the NBA's G League. This week, he again changed course, landing a first-of-its-kind three-month job with New Balance, a deal Paul brokered.
Paul, speaking in an appearance on ESPN's The Jump, said he wasn't sure the move would start a trend but did think it was a pioneering leap out of an institutionalized process that needed to change.
"And until that happens, they need options," Paul said.
Paul said Bazley was part of a system people in authority have "been able to control for a long time."
"And when you're a threat to that system, they don't like that," Paul said.
Bazley, a 6-foot-8 forward from Ohio, will enter the 2019 NBA draft, Paul said. Bazley had been poised to be the first five-star prospect to skip college for the G League, after several players have gone the overseas route. Like most high school players, Bazley was ineligible for the 2018 NBA draft because he's not one year removed from his graduating class. In the past, if a player was ruled ineligible for college or wanted to skip college, he generally went overseas, as Brandon Jennings, Emmanuel Mudiay and Terrance Ferguson did.
In May, Bazley signed with Paul, who also has longtime friend LeBron James, John Wall and Ben Simmons among his NBA clients.
Bazley will be paid a $200,000 base salary annually over five years, assuming he is on an NBA roster in the second year and in the league each season thereafter. Paul earlier this week told The New York Times that the internship was part of a multiyear shoe contract that could pay Bazley up to $14 million if he reaches performance incentives written into the contract.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
it would be amazing if we beat Georgia. I think UK will be pumped and our defense should hold their running game in check, but we've scored 1 offensive touchdown in the last 2 games I think or something like that so we are definitely challenged.crashcourse wrote:wow just beat Georgia you get Alabama
They shut down the run on us and our QB or our OC starts making bad decisions

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
daughter who just turned 18 2 months ago hit us up with - I want to go to Miami for Spring Break.
I don't want to be the dickhead parent but I"m not sure I ready for my 18 year old to head off with other 18 year olds to Miami for a week.
She texted my wife, who is actually a harder sell than me and my wife told her that right now her answer is no but we'd talk about it at Thanksgiving.
