They represented themselves really classy. When the ESPN cameras went up in to the band one of the members for approximately 15 seconds gave the middle finger. Real classy. Glad to move on from them. We need to get healthy too.
They finally beat us in something, and in their usually classless style, proclaim their Super Bowl win. Let’s see what happens in a few weeks when they come to our house and our team is a little healthier.
I just find it funny. a lot of their vocal fans have had this arrogance ‘what rivalry?’ they consistently show way more hate towards us than we do to them. their fans are holding onto a complex that we became a destination in this State when they had a head start and a State Government that has supported them much more than UCF. Yet they are still a sleepy commuter school , the irony of them using ‘Oviedo’ as an insult
I don’t see him being a high draft pick right now. To me a high draft pick should be able to take games over. He rarely does. But there are sites they say he is. Must be based on potential because if he scores 15 a game in college, that’s probably 7 in NBA. He should be stepping up in absence of Darius but he’s in shadows still.
The NBA draft has been mostly based on potential for a long, long time now. After about the top 5-10 picks, it’s a complete roll of the dice and not much is expected for the next few years. Even those top 5-10 picks are mostly gambles because they don’t pan out into dominant players picks 1-10 should be. There’s only like 30 NBA teams, with small rosters and you can find players anywhere on the planet so teams have become increasingly willing to draft on future potential.
That’s why teams would be better off drafting older guys like Buddy Hield that play right away. Not a superstar but consistent role player.
I think more and more will come from the G league teams (and more and more will skip college and go to the G league). Mock drafts have 3 of them in the top 10. The NBA has a ton of money. Right now they pay them $125k/season. Even doubling that is nothing to the NBA. They could pay a lot more than that and just outbid colleges, and they would probably do much better marketing the kids as well (getting ROI). It’ll be interesting to see what comes of the G League.
Makes sense for them financially but no one watches G League. If you want to market yourself, college gets you more exposure.
Golesh must have a bot army bc they are celebrating like they won a Natty. Counting club sports . our fans should probably stop engaging them..it is all they have
I like it. The same should happen with football. Allow kids to go straight pro and get paid. College teams can be for student athletes.
It’s the Pro Leagues that have the rules. It’s not the NCAA. Basketball is 1 year and Football is 3. Baseball technically you can go straight to MLB but if you go to a University you have to wait for some dumb reason. Baseball is big at some schools but most people don’t care about it. Minor League baseball is even boring.
