Thought you were a basketball junkie, my bad sorry I bothered you.

No bother at all! I enjoy all sports!

Maybe we can entice this kid to transfer

Bo got limited reps his first 2 seasons playing behind some dude named [checks notes] Marcus Allen.

Over the next 2 seasons he got 300 attempts and ran for almost 1700 yds, at 5.5 ypc clip.

He then suffered a one time freak injury, and never played again. And was never the same on the diamond.

We’ll never know what type of NFL player he would have been. But he was a better ball player prior to injury than Deion ever was.

And it's not even close

They were both great football players.

Deion was more of a gimmick on the diamond. Bo could actually play.

I don’t follow Men’s BB recruiting like I follow FB recruiting, so forgive my ignorance.

What is it about the BB program that drives it to recruit so differently than the FB program? It seems (to a less informed observer) that the HS ranks are an afterthought in BB recruiting.

I realize we’ve had tremendous success with transfers in BB, but is that the strategy - to eschew HS recruiting? Is the belief that that is sustainable?

He's getting drafted in the lottery at the end of the season. He's the son of Jason Richardson, long time NBA player and former spartan.

Man, Texas A&M rose to #7 and has since lost 3 straight games. By 16 at Miss State, at home by 8 to Tennessee, and at home to Vandy tonight.

Yikes.

Oh, and their next two games are at Florida and hosting Auburn. Either they lose 5 straight or they help us out a little.

The issue with basketball is your truly elite HS guys only play one year. Flagg is a great example. The issue is those guys are exceedingly rare and it is extremely hard to build a plan around landing one. The more typical HS recruit is likely to ride the bench on a top program and soak up a spot and a scholarship. All teams need some, but now the replacement for the elite guys is to get a 3rd-5th year stud from a mid major who has perfected his craft and now wants publicity for his draft stock. Knecht and Lanier are great examples here.

Also older guys are stronger and more experienced so they are just better in most respects.

Auburn's roster is literally about a year different from being as old as some NBA rosters.

It works in football too where older teams tend to be better. Vandy was old last year.
