ESPNs way too early…

ESPN must expect this year's Final Four teams to have a mass exodus leaving only Houston in the top five for next year. I would expect Houston to have some departures too.

I hate seeing UCONN up there.

yep. Duke has 3 guys potentially going top 10 in the mock drafts. The Big Ten will be losing some quality talent too - Ace Bailey, Dylan Harper, Queen and Richardson are all listed in top 10. The IL kid, couple guys from Michigan are listed as potential 1st rounders.

I don't see how they can pay up. They need teams like Purdue to play them to make them some money...and once a player gets "good" he tests the market. It does seem to reason that teams like Purdue should they have a much easier schedule might allow more errors leading to growth in players, but then that schedule hurts you in Kenpom and quite possible if no ramp up...when entering Big play.

Lots of truth to this, tournament before the final 4 was mostly boring, the Final 4 was 3 really good games. As for small schools, if they can’t pay up they likely will win 1 game at most in future tournaments.

I think we are seeing the smaller schools become the AAA league for the larger schools for some talent. Kids come out of high school and lack the "stars" to go to a big school right away. Instead, they go to a smaller school, build some experience and brand, then look to port out to a larger school for $$.

and now we realize how these schools with an all senior team can be pretty good when playing free against Goliath

Here's what we're up against with these substantial tariffs;

  1. Direct quote from Commerce Secretary Lutnick: "The army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones, that kind of thing is going to come to America. Our high school educated Americans — the core to our workforce, is going to have the greatest resurgence of jobs in the history of America to work on these high-tech factories, which are all coming to America. That's what's going to build our next generation of America."
  2. Per the Global Times, the average wage of an Apple Factory worker currently "screwing in little screws to make IPhones? "Foxconn's iDPBG group - the one that makes iPhone - offers hourly wage at around 21 yuan ($2.88), resulting in a base salary of 2,460 yuan per month with overtime pay, the recruitment manager told the Global Times on Sunday."

If moved inside the USA screw insertion will be machine driven more than likely. What will also be interesting is to see what Mexico does, because I'm sure they would love the work from China...some of which was moved from Mexico. Hand size or dexterity in women make them most desireable for small, tedious work. Course the acidity level when a women was having a period created a few problems sometimes.

Years ago when components had lead or wires for connections, women would "stick lead" them through the holes in a circuit board to be soldiered . Then in the 80s ceramic capacitors and other components had no leads and were "glued" on a circuit board with a component placement machine that would orient the part with a ficucial and then go in and X-Y pattern and place hundreds or thousands of components replacing many previous stick lead operators. I remember the first machine from the Netherlands in the early 80s. One of the companies in Mexico that I visited was Molex and I think this site maybe was Nogales, Mexico. Molex is a very good company and this particular site had women working on other company parts as well and they were paid $7 a day and they were happy with that money. The company offered free lunch (and maybe breakfast) and air conditioning to their employees which they appreciated. In the early days it was hard to keep Mexican workers because after a month or so they had enough money to live for a while and when they ran out...they would seek a job again. Training was a continuous thing. Anyway, if Mexico and the Cartels improved a lot, I'm sure they would be happy to take China's work...should it not be feasible for automation to handle the duties in the USA. When the government paid to have respirators made in the USA...what a bunch of manual operations that was...like going back to a third world?

Cam could JUMP. High. Not extraordinarily athletic beyond that that I can see. Not great moving laterally. A bit stiff in the upper body it seemed. Even Myles isn't the athletic beast many seem to think. Again, great leaper. For SURE. But thats only 1 aspect of athleticism.

I had expected you to at least acknowledge Bob for his unprecedented run of 3.5 years with the dumbest post when you replaced him yesterday with your idiot BMW "logical progression" - but no, you didn't even have the decency to thank him for his countless rants and absurdities that served as examples for you as you honed your stupidity.

It is not too late for you to acknowledge and thank @BB62 for his mentorship, helping you plumb the depths of foolishness. (But don't rest on your laurels - there are several lib dems right behind you on the forum, not to mention the GOAT himself.)

Well, if you can figure out the madness behind the dems on the whole, you are well ahead of most psychiatrists. I've tried not eating or sleeping and even tried watching the view and nothing seems to help me understand them. I suppose I could try some LSD and such, maybe wear some Nike shoes searching Heaven's Gate or even drink some Kool aid from Jim Jones, but the after effects of connecting with them is not worth it. BTW, Bob and Kat both said they were republicans in spite of their stances

I don't think blaming Dems for a stock market drop makes a lot of sense right now.

We will see what happens over the next few months. Whether everyone likes it or not, these tariffs are going to start getting passed on to consumers. I will be curious to see how people react to those higher prices.

I read it again and not sure how you came up with me blaming the stock market drop on Dems. What did you think you read?

Interested in your opinion, Dub. In basketball, I've heard rumblings that some coaches won't even look at incoming freshman anymore, it will all be portal junior/Senior/5th year Seniors (or older). What do you think becomes the norm for chasing the championship in football? Traditionally FB players at certain positions have needed even more time to develop than BB players. Do the other leagues become feeder schools for the BT and SEC, only occasionally going after a top flight skill player that can have an immediate impact out of HS? Do HS players now look at the best "developer" schools, knowing they'll be transferring in 2-3 years?

I still believe that recruiting the high school ranks is important for programs. You’re still going to have a considerable amount of guys in each class leave for one reason or another. (Look back at some of those Brohm classes, before the portal became what it is today). But, counting on only portal guys is a big gamble.

If nothing else, high school players will be valuable depth in a sport that has many more roster spots than basketball, which is the main difference I see between the two. Have to fill the 105 somehow and high school recruits are the cheaper option, as well.

dinner is ready, but I can't recall anywhere saying the dems were responsible for the market today. I did reference their history takes such as tax and spend in 4 years. I'll try to read what I wrote again to have you type what you did in a few.
