Fran had Connor start in every game in a season where he shot 27% from 3 and we had 4 future NBA players on the team, Jack Nunge, and thin CJ Fredrick
Playas fuck up too.

I don't think that's entirely true
Ok? Miami was considered one of the other top contenders who had been recruiting him for a long time and who he has spoken highly of. New programs have gotten involved but they have been consistently mentioned for months

Fuck Miami...what they got to offer a young man
I moved to Miami in '02 as a 23yr old recent Iowa grad. Let me tell you boys, what...'ol Pedro had himself the time of his life.

Two years later, I abandoned my car on the side of the Dolphin Expy and took a taxi to the airport to get the fuck out of Dodge before things happened that can't be undone.

If I was an undersized big and my best weapon was 12 ft push shots I would be trying to play against college players again too.

Lol at the sports writers now getting upset, after ripping on the NCAA for the last decade. They are one of the biggest reasons we are now in the current situation.

Ivan hit the rare outrage trifecta of student athlete, sports writer, and internet attention whore.

I feel like the courts that are deciding in the players' favor and the NCAA's complete lack of leadership is a little more to blame for where we are than the people - annoying though they may be - that wrote stories in newspapers and then hit "send" on some tweets.

But go with the blame the media argument. That has been super logic-based going back to Nixon had those damn Jews going after him.

Problem is structural. We built a professional minor league football and basketball system under the fig of a wink and a nod that these are "students" whose just and legal compensation is room, board and tuition, over 60 or 70 years that is collapsing now under the weight of its own financial success. The system made just enough sense prior to million dollar tv deals for everyone to kind of ignore the weirdness of paying primarily african americans young people close to nothing (in relative terms) while they are the most visible and prominent laborers of a huge industry.
