The Official “Regular Posters of the Basketball Forum” Thread

I figure the Florida admin handles all of his communications at this point

Really rough job for that intern imo

 

[YankeeVol]

Said the exact thing about 2 or so months ago and got jumped for it.

I almost lost my life.

Because you were high

 

[YankeeVol]

It would certainly be a relief. Sounds like a downgrade to me though in terms of national spotlight.

Have you seen the girls at ASU?

1000% upgrade

 

[OrangeInKy]

Email that to him, let’s get the ball rolling

He's probably watching now, so no need to email him

 

[Blueconn]

New site layout, new regular posters thread.

Have at it boys.

Am I allowed ?

 

[zjcvols]

Am I allowed ?

No

Orange Refractor ZZ 14/25

Did I overpay for this? Maybe.

Do I care? No.

SIAP

I know he's not necessarily a top target for us, but I will never be mad about landing an actual PG. Looking forward to seeing him on the court!

Anyone else find it interesting that Mashack & Milic are at the PIT, but none of Lanier, Ziegler or Gainey are?

2025 Players & Teams

There are over 400 PIT alumni playing professional basketball around the world. There are prominent PIT alumni playing in the best professional leagues in Europe, Asia, Australia and in North and South America. More than 65 PIT alumni played in at least one NBA game last season.

Isn’t this basically just a senior bowl? Considering Shack and Igor are meh, yeah I’d say they do need to show something.

Lanier doesn’t really need to play in that…does he? Projected draft pick…in his position, there’s no reason to hurt yourself

Gainey and Ziegler….cant answer that

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I mean Lanier is out of eligibility no matter what, even if the 5th year is granted. So, him not being there doesn’t seem to tell us much. I think we may be reading into it more than it really is. Trippie is probably right, the simple answer is usually the right one. Lanier doesn’t need to be there. ZZ and Gainey probably proved enough already to make a summer league team.

Could mean nothing could mean something, I’m with you that Lanier showed enough so wouldn’t expect him to participate in it, so no shock there. Zeigler and Gainey not taking part was the more noteworthy part to me, neither of those guys obviously are projected draft picks.

I believe Lanier would also still have a year of eligibility. The covid year essentially doesn't exist as a year played on your NCAA sheet. Lanier has played 4 years that count against NCAA eligibility.

He has played 5 years including the covid year. Not sure he'd get a 6th.

Yes, but the covid year is a non-year, aka it doesn't exist as a year played towards eligibility. He's played 4 years that count towards eligible years.

I'd think that opens the windows for a whole slew of kids, then. I don't believe that is being considered. The same way that the 5th year rule wipes out redshirts, I imagine it is designed to wipe out the covid year, as well. I can see where the argument can be had, but I'd venture to guess that the NCAA will argue you got to play in that season.

We'll see, I'd say the vast majority of players that schools would want back for a 5th year have already played some form of pro basketball around the world.

Chad Baker Mazara is about to play college basketball until he is 40.

ZZ and Gainey, come on down

And he might be doing it somewhere but Auburn.

 

[VolArmy74]

Still baffled that there's pockets of such massive disrespect for ZZ. I'd take him back even if it mean JG went elsewhere. He's a better player than JG and is a heart and soul Volunteer.

 

[i2amavol]

I think most folks are like me. I love and respect everything he has done, but I just feel like college sports is great because you get new players on a regular basis. Now, with 5 minutes to go in a tight game, any tears I had would be tears of joy if I saw him coming off the bench next year, despite any offseason sentiment to the contrary.
