Thank you for replying! Hope to hear back from you soon.

Hello all, my girlfriend and I are trying to take our newly engaged friends to the game as a present and I was looking to see if anyone had 4 sequential tickets available for the game. Not for free necessarily. You can either PM me here or reach out to me via email at JoshuaZeus717@ gmail.com. Thank you in advanced.

This place looks worth a trip. I am going to keep this one in my pocket!

Long time no see/post/respond! A couple of buddies and myself have started a new Twitter account to cover sports news as a whole.

Mack is listed by NFL.com as one of the day 3 players projected to make an early impact.

He will either go 4th or 5th and make good enough money to justify the jump

And he averaged like 17 pts per game. The kid could shoot but never had the opportunity to settle on the court. He was a decent player at a position filled with the same, plus CAJ

What happens when we fill all these roster spots and can't bring in new recruits?  And, being critical, I haven't seen an abundance of local offers either.

Lists him as committed to Penn State

Truth be told many of the recruits fCOA brought in were good recruits. Reuben never progressed though, Jaleel progressed but we only got one season of the better him, and we had no point guards because they never made it to campus (Feliz, Canty). We had good recruits, but fCOA could not get them to the next level. Montero, Feliz, Canty, Baxter all never made it to campus and would have helped greatly. Peters had to be a...difficult case of course. It feels like COA took some swings and chances to get high risk, high reward players but was unlucky in several cases and just couldn't build his players up in other cases.

My bad, too, I did take it as a negative ..... and where you refer to grad transfers being work horses, do you mean just regular transfers? The only grad transfer that immediately comes to mind is Kore White and I'm not sure I could classify him like that.

I realized after I read the reply that it read more negatively than I meant. I messed up Geno because he is "graduate transferring" now and I believe Angel Nunez was a graduate transfer as well.

Firstly, he shot for 39% at Penn State. So not a COA problem. Even though everything appears to be.

Secondly, I thought he did very well for us. My, "we saw how that worked out", wasn't meant to be negative as I believe he was as standout as it gets for us. I've mentioned how our grad transfers have actually been work horses for us in the best of ways. Sorry for the misunderstanding 

On 36% shooting. But Geno came over with a similar percentage and we saw how that worked out.

You really can't afford the luxury of that slow of a rebuild when you're down to 4 scholarship players. Going to need a blend of one and dones with 4 year players, maybe a few sit out a year transfers sprinkled in. I'd be surprised if we utilized all 13 scholarships for this coming year. 

That was the bind fCOA was in this last year. He had no seniors so really couldn't pursue any players from this class. We had two schollie's I think until McBuckets decided to leave. We were pursuing L.J Figueroa until Antigua was fired but that's about it. I think the term rebuild means something different to others than it does to me. Just having a full roster doesn't qualify for me, nor does having a roster of two stars. So when I think slow rebuild, I think 2-3 years until the roster is a real competitor is appropriate and to be expected. Not that 2 stars can't be competitive, but on paper preliminarily it doesn't stir the cockles of my soul. Yes, the film I have seen on Jiggets and Brown is enticing, but I will refrain from excitement. I believe I'd read that Brown (before us) was the only senior on his team Uncommitted prior to us and was listed as the third option on his team. I am excited about the intensity of recruitment though.

guess we go 15-18 next year since we are now south penn state

I'm not mad about it. 

Grad transfers are great while CBG gets his footing. I wouldn't mind being a grad transfer haven for the next 2-3 years if that's what we need to get a product and scheme on the court to recruit for.

If a kid thinks that their is no chance that their coach could leave then they are just plain stupid. Calling a coach who leaves for better pay is lying but a coach has no way of knowing if they will get a better offer the next season. The kid being recruited needs to do their homework to see what the chance of that happening is. I would never look down on someone who is going to get paid more. I do agree with you that if a coach should leave the player should have the same opportunity without sitting.

Is it stupid to believe a coach when he says I'm committed to this school, this program, and my players? I'm not going to call them an out right liar, but as you said, in fairness if one can leave than the other should be able to as well

I think if a kid has done what he needs to do to graduate, and wants to play ball somewhere else, why punish him and say no?

Grad transfers play hard at their new school more times than not, have actually finished their degree, and are seeking an opportunity to feel the game at the college level for the last time. I don't see that they should be restrained. For the normal transfer, I feel that the chance to lose a student keeps the relationship between student and coach honest. If a student feels like they aren't in a good situation then they should be capable to make that decision.

He said he wanted players here that wanted to be here above all else. It's possible he is ok with the losses in the same vein.

Let's just buy billboards all over Tampa begging Kevin Knox to stay and play in Tampa. Fool proof.

As our one timers have gone, Geno and Angel both worker out to be work horses

He is an old teammate of Holston. If they maintain any contact, or if he heard about the airplane incident, he may be steered away.

I would have thought that he would have to sit out the following eligible school year, not a running calendar year. The nuances of this are killing me.

If you go to a Juco you can work your way around this (The 4-2-4 rule) but you do lose 2 years of eligibility to transfer with in the AAC.  You sit one before you can play and just out right lose a second.
