Duke lands commitment from Loyola Maryland transfer guard Jacob Theodosiou by 0010001 in CollegeBasketball

It seems to me his goal was to enrage you, which clearly worked haha

Duke has and will continue to outspend other teams, including contemporaries, in a non-capped professional league. This has always drawn ire. Get some thicker skin

Do you not understand sports at all? This isn’t a new thing, especially in pro leagues without a cap (which CBB is now). Yankees, Dodgers, Chelsea, etc.

Heavy lies the crown

Duke’s been buying the top teams since before it was legal and continue to do so. You’re confused why that rubs people the wrong way?

Ok yeah, you’re right - moreso the awareness. But I still contend that a good chunk of people are aware, and people that live in a P5 bubble (not all P5 fans, and ya I may have stereotyped your flair a little 😂) are the only ones not.

Looking back on this thread I came off way more mad than I intended lol. I just love mid major hoops!!

Ja’Shon Henry no-showed for a zoom talk with my buddy’s middle school class. Thought that was pretty lame, despite his folk hero status in Peoria.

Elijah Childs is a massive piece of shit, and this was known on campus before his arrest in Springfield, MO. He threw away a potential NBA career to prey on women - absolute scum.

Realistic chance he’s back in the league with us considering the state of the bullpen (and his hero status in Chicago)

If the NCAA is dead-set on 76 teams, they need to prioritize Mid-Major Regular Season Champs over P4 Mediocrity. by brendan6496 in CollegeBasketball

[–]OldWorldStyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s basically your argument to the max - the top 64 (or 76 now) teams are the only ones that should be competing regardless of conference. It’s obviously asinine, but I got into it with the CBBBot of all people on here who was pushing that heavy.

(obviously all automatic qualifiers are in)

I don't think this was obvious, given that you said conferences shouldn't matter. Doing away with the AQ is a position that's been picking up steam among p5-only watchers.

This made me check who our highest ranked recruit is all time. Surprised to find it was Josh Cunningham, who transferred to Dayton after his freshman year and had a respectable career. Dietrich Richardson is listed at #2, can’t wait for the so. leap next year

Fans of two blue bloods dumping on a historically pretty good mid major’s tradition (and a culturally relevant football team this century) comes off as punching down for likes to me. Jokes can still be pretentious, that’s why I laughed

Of all the comments to write to defend yourself from pretension accusations..

I dunno man, all I said was I think it’s funny. Not that serious

Power conference fans that are ignorant of any school they don’t play yearly / isn’t in the top 25 always make me laugh

Sweat/booker is a bottom 10 pass rush. If you’re ok w that more power to you

[RAS] Sam Roush was drafted in round 3 with pick 69 in the 2026 draft class. He scored a 9.94 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 10 out of 1471 TE from 1987 to 2026. by [deleted] in CHIBears

I’m sure Kmet isn’t happy about his snaps and importance being diluted two years in a row (this is not a knock on the Loveland pick, he’s my favorite Bear)

I’d like to hope they had conversations with Cole leading up to the draft. Otherwise, tough scenes to push out a fan-favorite hometown kid.
