    Duke has had no contact with him and St John’s in leaning another way. All good news.

    Pretty sure Duke is WAY over that number

    Maybe, but that's what is being reported. I don't think there's any way to know accurately, because any local hardware store or chicken eatery can throw NIL money at the players.

    It is crazy that going deep in the tournament hamstrings you a bit for the transfer portal given that it opens so early. Of the top 25 transfers only 6 haven't picked a school and 13 of the top 50. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade our deep run but it seems like a no brainer that the portal should open after the tournament ends.

    Absolutely loved visiting relatives as a kids and exploring part of the creek that ran through the back of their property, including looking for shark's teeth and feeling like Tom Sawyer. Until one day we started digging and wound up covered in something oily and sticky. Creosote ruined it. Haven't been down there in forever but in my dreams it's been cleaned up and is the childhood paradise of memories again.

    No where near at this point, but certainly obtainable.

    Wise decision. I read a few college football players chose a certain school because they had shiny helmets!
    My decision to to UF was simple:
    Close to home (Jax)
    Coeds!
    Athletics
    Top building construction school in country
    My older brother went there
    Cool campus

    Yep. I remember a prof taking us as a class to visit Hogtown Creek and pointing out the creosote literally oozing from the sand into the water.

    From about 2010-2014 I used to take my kid and a friend to Alfred Ring Park to find fossils/shark teeth in Hogtown Creek. Didn't any issues with creosote but over time, people would start to come out with shovels and dig big holes without bothering to fill them up. Pretty quickly there were changes in water flow and signs went up saying it wasn't allowed. The actions of few ruin it for many as they say.

    No doubt. That was two years ago, also. I am willing to bet we see a massive bump in contributions and expenditures. Golden and staff will get big raises, the training facility is undergoing a 8-mil renovation, and rumor is that NIL is really improving.

    He's visiting St John's today. Their insiders think they have a real chance but acknowledge there is no lean at the moment.

    Kon Knueppel allegedly turned down 5mil+ from Auburn and is returning to Duke.

    Top 10 pick.

    RIP CBB

    Lotta smoke about Lee visiting today and a possible commit inbound. We'll see.
    This seems to be the target 1:1 replacement of our backcourt
