This definitely makes you seem well. Touche.

Here's a news flash for your enjoyment.

I officially don't give a flying f**k what you think.

Put that in your little bong and smoke it. 😎💯

Unless what I think is that Nate Springs might be the next Kevin Durant. In which case, you'll post about it dozens of times over the course of 10 years.

You and I go about not caring what people think quite differently, I guess.

Anything left in the pipeline? I think we should get another 2-guard if we have the room. I'm not really keen on running two 6'1'' point guards as our starting back court if one of Burris, Brogan, or McKinney isn't ready for it.

Haven�t seen any new rumblings or follows recently. Although, Moek, popped up the day before his commitment announcement. There�s still one spot remaining.

Kolton/KDA � starting two proven commodities at this level doesn�t bother me as much at 6�1 when the rest of the lineup is bigger. If we�re attempting another Reef/Hunter/Miles starting combo, I�d be more concerned.

Tough to see a starter caliber 2 guard at this stage brought in. Considering AJ Bates was once in the fold before the last minute switch to Utah State, have to think starting KDA as more of a 2 was always part of the plan.

Sit on it and wait til the end for someone left out in the cold willing to come with no NIL or anything attached. There will be several such options to choose from with useful upside.

Sophomore year Ric Johnson is all that's really needed. I don't see a player who can guard if the opponent has a Suder or Morgan Safford at the two.

Suder graduated. But there will be other match-up challenges.

Boals should consider some gadget defenses as needed, triangle & two, etc...

Yep. Maybe it�s time to end the Reynoldsburg experiment.

I mean did anyone think this was gonna work? Three players from the same school? We are getting to the stage where an Ohio hoops recruiting class in the very near future will not have one high school recruit.

I mean Bowens can�t be far behind right?

His buddy Fisher got no playing time at all as a freshman when the door was open for him to get minutes.

Now his buddy McKinney is gone.

Guess I will be surprised if Bowens sticks to his commitment.

I was surprised they stuck around after Fisher decommitted. But overall I agree. Unless you�re getting meaningful rotation minutes out of a true freshman, it�s almost pointless to recruit HS in this era.

I now wonder if we�ll use both or just one of the remaining scholarships and if McKinney�s decommit opens up any additional financial flexibility.

I think Marin Bota was the last, but I could be wrong.

And, he had NBA potential!

As did "the next Kevin Durant" and the "could end up Dennis Rodman" but I won't expound anymore on those foot-in-mouth moments.

You do realize the Marin Bota reference is a slight at TOS for having the audacity to say that with a straight face in the off season after we signed him from Auburn and not because anybody on this site ever actually thought or believed that right? Right? RIGHT?

Ah who am I kidding, of course you don't...

To be fair if you needed a guy to sub in with 1 second left and guard the inbounder, Bota was ELITE.

You know they DO say the ticket to the NBA is to find a way to be elite at SOMETHING.

Bowens is on campus.

But I mean Rio Adams made it to campus too.

I guess all of us believe it now with the state of NCAA hoops. If a players minutes or $ isn't exactly what they are expecting, they are quick to bolt now eh?

I was looking forward to seeing this kid play..... Oh well....

Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....
