Trying to decide whether to like or bow this. WTF is the Iowa Burner Network?

I also don't know what to make of it, but I choose to have positive thoughts until told I shouldn't.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

IBN = Irritable Bowel Network?

 

[Fletch]

When are these fucks supposed to decide? I need to know if it’s time to fap or not.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

When in doubt, crank one out

Ok you're Cletey aren't you?

 

[Revolver]

Reading Iowa is moving on from Nyk Lewis. Asking for a lot of money for someone unproven. No idea if that is legit or not.

His shooting isn't up to Mac's standards anyway, right?

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Bock making it sound like he told them he was committing but now he’s been fucking around so they’re moving on. Might be a new team that came in, might be a leverage play. If the kid is doing that now, he probably wasn’t going to stick at Iowa anyway.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

He would get to play behind and alongside an all American point guard for a year, and then all that kids money comes off the books and he can renegotiate. Whatever

 

[L. Wade Childress]

It’s important to remember that college kids were already retarded, now you throw in a bunch of earnings potential and even more retarded agents and this is what you get.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Thanks Ivan

Right. Perfect situation for a kid like that with a coach who has PG development track record. Can’t imagine dealing with some of these agents and dads.

I mean why wouldn't they have known that going in?

If you’d read and think for a minute rather than just hit reply to everything you see…

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Because your post wasn't available and that was the only one with an explanation.

 

[TimkoLawson]

Now people are saying Iowa is backing off of Alvaro Folgueiras as well. When will Ben's walkon tryouts be taking place?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

So, what are they doing with this 5-6 million they had to spend

 

[HiawathaHawk]

nevermind

 

[Revolver]

I’m fine with telling these guys to fuck off if they are trying to squeeze more money.

 

[Jim Tebow]

probably tempting for a lot of these guys to 'hold out' and fish around for higher offers. Nyk Lewis already decommitted once, right? probably a sign that's what's going on. i don't blame these kids for doing it. but the aggregate of all this is greater incentive for an alternative structure where the players have less power. it's pretty crazy right now. Top performers have a ton of power. that's great. but the lower tier players are going to get screwed eventually. and i'd suggest over the years shaky contracts and shady comp packages will result in screwed over players even at the elite level.

what's weirdest to me is we never hear of compensation packages that are based on performance, or games played, or production milestones met. it sounds like everything is just x amount for y years. that's stupid. but a player's market at this point.

the big money interests, namely tv and athletic departments, will coordinate with the lower rungs of players, in the name of equity, to force some sort of collective bargaining more akin to the national pro leagues. not necessarily salary caps, but more rules to the road and some limitation on transfers. i think it will take years to get there though.

until then, it's the wild west and BMC needs to moneyball the shit out of this and not play the games of these guys who want to hold out and create bidding wars. those guys are probably more prone to being headcases anyway.

 

[Jim Tebow]

the sky is not falling quite yet. Here's some grade A copium to counter recent news about transfer hopefuls:

the transfer portal doesn't even CLOSE until 4/25.

According to on3, as of today, 4/18:

- 1,022 players have entered the portal
- 380 have committed
- 642 remain
- there's no deadline for players to commit. no doubt some will remain until the summer.
- there also seems to be little reticence for players to DE-commit. the portal window seems like just the beginning of the process.
- there are also hundreds (thousands?) of uncommitted high schoolers out there.

a big part of BMC's success seems to be a team that buys in to the culture.

current needs:

1. the big need is obviously an athletic 5 man.
2. another ball handler and
3. another wing shooter.
4. then filler.

2, 3, and 4 should be easy and are easily filled, in my opinion, by the 600+ available players.

i like this team already.

If you weren’t saying FMC for Fran don’t say BMC. Ffs.

the jerk store called. and guess what.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Lewis’ coach left the school. Which I suppose is better than the other Lewis’ coach leaving the earth.

 

[Revolver]

I agree with Syracuse football coach Fran Brown on these crazy NIL demands.

 

[Fletch]

the jerk store called. and guess what.

They called you a faggot?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

that's pretty rude by the jerk store

 

[snips]

yes, i've noticed that the service and overall level of customer support at the jerk store has been going downhill quite a bit recently.

think effing trump is messing things up

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Bock says Lewis seems likely to VCU. Then shared this

 

[hawkstud44]

Now people are saying Iowa is backing off of Alvaro Folgueiras as well. When will Ben's walkon tryouts be taking place?

That's a parody account saying that

 

[TurdBurgler]

If they arent yet signing multi year contracts why bother with high schoolers.

 

[Moe Howard]

That's a parody account saying that

Moe/Larry and Curly are thinking Sagatoogie with all of your spit balling about these college kids with agents whose resume includes worked at Sam Drucker's pharmacy in Hooterville, fuck all this bullshit, get some kids who want to play and not extort and take what we get, who knows could finish 6th in the big versus last year 15th begging to at least get to play in my own conference tournament

Is that legit? Wasn’t he just outted?

 

[Hawkstrat]

Dipshit Kentucky fans found out who he is, but that doesn't really make him any more or less connected.

Was wondering if that was still his account and not an imposter

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Are we back to wanting him

 

[Fletch]

When did we not want him?

 

[maxinquaye]

Now people are saying Iowa is backing off of Alvaro Folgueiras as well. When will Ben's walkon tryouts be taking place?

Liar and scumbag?

 

[TimkoLawson]

Liar and scumbag?

Listen, @maxinqueer. I may be a scumbag, but I ain't no liar.

 

[maxinquaye]

Listen, @maxinqueer. I may be a scumbag, but I ain't no liar.

We will see about that Timmy

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I don’t think that was accurate anyway. That’s happened every few months with someone new.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Getting that Alvaro dude would be massive.

 

[Monster]

that's pretty rude by the jerk store

They're diversifying their products.

 

[KitKatApples]

That’s just smart business in uncertain economic times
