    Met him at an event recently and even got to talk to him one on one for a little while. What an awesome guy... can't overstate that enough. I was surprised that he didn't just answer my questions, but also asked me what I thought and really engaged with me. I could have talked to him much longer, but I was trying to be respectful of his time. Got a good pic with me, him, and my oldest kid.

    That being said, since Coach Golden and I are BFFs now, I will tolerate no Todd Golden slander, whatsoever!

    Side note... I told him I was available to play PG and he said come on over, so technically that is a verbal commit and I am on the roster.

    Tons of NIL dollars coming your way. Ok, maybe dozens. Of pesos.

    I am just going to assume that you told TJ that you were available at point guard because I told you that Clayton was a 2-Guard.

    When talking to CTG, tell him you're a high usage guy with a Schrodinger's Cat approach to playing point guard. The ball can either go through the hoop or not, but it's unknowable until it's observed. Watch his eyes light up.

    I can't really discuss what me and coach talk about during practice, but it's nice to be able to engage with you fans here. We appreciate your support!

    Is it true that you were taught everything you know by the original Coach Sayre?

    Unfortunately, I have no idea who Coach Sayre is, original or otherwise. Must be well before my time.

    This thread turned pure golden.

    Schroedinger's cat, fan support, Sayre. Top-shelf snark.

    Coach Sayre was a poster on these boards who appeared to have inside information. Because of that, people on these boards assumed (possibly, correctly) that he was affiliated with the Gators basketball program. It was also assumed that Coach Sayre might have been multiple people who changed from time to time. More recently, Coach Sayre2 has come along. He does not appear to have any inside information, but he calls himself Coach Sayre2..

    Sayre once told me about David Lee's acne medication routine. He was either legit, or an incredible bullshitter. Unlike you, who is clearly legit.

    Coach Golden has done well in the portal. Still need him to close/sign top 100 HS recruits with regularity
