So Pruitt usually only offers after seeing recruits in person at camps?

Butch wasn't like that at all iirc. Hopefully will benefit us knowing exactly what we are getting.

I’ve watched it first hand at SC and Dabo does the same thing at CU. Combine that with the fact that Pruitt is straight up with his players and we’ve got the makings of a real program again. Transfers won’t happen as much because players know where they stand and that leads to development. Something we never saw on a consistent basis with Butch

You realize that the whole point in this debate is that they are conflicting reports. The stories have changed 5 times. Just like how before it was confirmed that cousins was insulted by the pelicans initial offer. So yea after he basically gave them the finger when they didn’t offer him tons of money they probably did pull their offer.

And you just quoted a “news reporter” with less followers than D4H 😂😂😂. Might as well just Quote PelicansMan66 from their message board.

Also it’s the same reporter that argued with the New York Times on twitter two days ago that in fact the pelicans did make an offer to boogie. Lol

Everything you said is true but he also pulls off stuff many don't think is possible way faster than he should be able to. His innovative nature and experience from drilling underground with Boring Co can only help.

Drill from below (if possible). Let the water drain out. Kids walk out on dry land.

No the whole point was you were originally whining that the warriors were ruining the league by getting an "all nba guy" for nothing and that he turned down all these max offers to go chase a ring. I pointed out that with his rep and injury there were probably not a lot of options for him. Turns out I was right. The Sports Illustrated article I linked shows the Lakers could've gotten him for the same price the Warriors did before they did, but passed so he called the Warriors. And I said in the beginning the biggest offer he got was from the Pelicans but that was during the season. After the season and the playoffs they realized they were better without him and backed off. Which seems to have been the case by most teams so I don't know why everyone is freaking out about the Warriors getting him. And that story about Anthony Davis isn't just being reported by that guy. I originally heard it on a couple national radio shows like Cowherd and a couple other places. That was just the first article that came up so I posted it. The guy you quoted before was just a local guy too that nobody had heard of. Just take the L man. I don't think yer little buddy chef bobby hill is smart enough to throw in the towel to save yer rep from permanent damage. :lolabove:

Should be how most do it outside of the no brainer prospects but your hope there is you get them camping when they are young so come sr yr you already have really good idea of projection outside of late bloomers etc.

They also missed out on watching him be a coward by refusing to serve his country while so many others went. He was suddenly a muslim and as we all know, muslims disavow violence.

Was he a coward, or did he refuse to fight for a cause he didn't believe in? I don't know, I go back and forth on it, that war was a mess all the way around, I used to believe that people who refused to go were cowards, but over time I have become more understanding of those who wouldn't. It was not like World War II.


Anyway all that has nothing to do with how great he was in the ring. I don't think much of Ali the man.

I get much of my opinion on this from my dad, who is a Vietnam vet. He went when his number was called. He didn’t necessarily want to, but it was his duty, so he went. He doesn’t think very highly of those who jumped through hoops to get out of it.
