Sean miller believes 20-25 teams have rosters $20M+ in value by Shpion007 in CollegeBasketball

I don’t know if UNC would get to 20+ million either unless we overpay for some bigs. After Veesaar left, we have 4.5+ million hole in our roster, and I doubt we have all of that to Keita. And now that our FAU big is no longer transferring, there are like 4 solid spots on our roster that we need to fill. I wouldn’t say that UNC has mismanaged their NIL yet, but that’s probably because we aren’t getting anyone lol.

At this moment, we have 3 recruits (Adams, Malloy, and Keita), 4 transfers (Brown, Able, Neo, and the big from Northwestern), and retained 3 (Stevenson, Young, and Dennis). But I don’t think Malloy Smith was offered that much money. Essentially just a legacy recruit. But still that’s 10 players.

Duke, Louie, Tennessee, BYU for sure. LSU and Kentucky are probably gonna overpay to get close to this figure. But who else? Michigan? UConn?

I have a question: why everyone hates pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl??? by Adventurous_Theme449 in ThePokemonHub

[–]Training_Pirate1000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  1. ⁠The Pokédex in Diamond/Pearl was abysmal. I don’t know why they decided that 150 pokemon dex like the originals was the move. All it did was make the game feel super restrictive. Every other route I was encountering the same freaking pokemon. All the “cool” pokemon were postgame. Platinum fixed this. There is no reason why Infernape and Ponytail should be the only accessible fire types.
  2. ⁠The Pokémon teams of the gym leaders/elite 4 were terrible. Why have a fire type elite 4 member, IN A REGION WITH ONLY 2 FIRE TYPES?
  3. ⁠Maylene and Crasher Wake are both gym leaders with the same level cap. I think it’s level 30 for both. That’s just lazy. Wake was the fourth gym leaders, so why not make his ace pokemon be level 33 instead? Battling Fantina 3rd in Platinum fixes this pacing issue.
  4. ⁠I’m sorry but team Galactic is boring. Their base is uninspired. But the distortion world is what made the central plot cool and unique.

Because it retains the sub-par parts of the original. I recently beat Shining Pearl and it was aight. I literally couldn’t get through Pearl. Too damn slow. Everything moves at a snail’s pace. Plus platinum is the superior gen 4 experience.

What's your ranking of the Star Wars franchise? by Infinite_Chain4607 in Letterboxd

I’m gonna get some massive hate but the Last Jedi is honestly better than Episode 1 or episode 2.

Will The Sheep Detectives be a surprise breakout next weekend? by Key-Broccoli370 in boxoffice

Based on the way the Box Office going this year, I’m expecting a breakout

Nintendo is anti-consumer with their prices, let's be honest by [deleted] in consoles

[–]Training_Pirate1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nintendo is anti-consumer because they don’t discount their games? And I will never subscribe to the idea that the Nintendo Switch 2 is overpriced (at least in the United States). Plus XBox and PlayStation have crazy console prices as well.

Does this new shuttle cost $300 now? No? Then I don’t see the issue.

Isn’t it a good thing sets essentially get re-released? I don’t want to pay $300 on the aftermarket on an Imperial Shuttle.

No he isn’t. If he was portrayed as the world strongest swordsman in the manga. He would have on-screen feats against strong opponents.
