and nobody recruited Steph Curry - cal tiger MU - 9/10 12:32:47

Chasing the elite five star recruits is bad, IF it - alwaysright MU - 9/10 07:32:38

Now I would think it's just money - Genco98 MU - 9/10 12:52:29

Everyone can throw money at the players - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 13:02:57

No you have to be able to afford them - Genco98 MU - 9/10 13:10:48

Everyone at the high major level has money - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 13:14:58

You have no facts to back that up - Genco98 MU - 9/10 13:20:06

You have no facts that its all about money - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 13:25:50

No just thousands of years of facts - Genco98 MU - 9/10 15:33:58

Money is part of it. It’s not everything - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 16:21:08

It is main driver and you know it - Genco98 MU - 9/10 16:55:19

It is definitely a different world - Genco98 MU - 9/10 07:16:31

The world of recruiting was always kind of silly - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/10 08:28:39

It is getting more and more like the NFL - Genco98 MU - 9/10 10:04:42

- 9/10 09:39:38

The magic of Rich Daly "finds" are long over - Genco98 MU - 9/10 10:25:43

It’s really the latter part that has disappeared - FIJItiger MU

- 9/10 10:46:17

Or you have guys like Robinson and Pierce - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 10:58:05

Those aren’t examples of the type of player he’s referencing - FIJItiger MU

- 9/10 11:12:09

These types were always getting money thrown at them(nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 10:18:10

It used to be against the rules and punishable - FIJItiger MU

- 9/10 10:23:02

Some fans chose to be naive - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 10:25:10

That is a pretty nontopical response(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 9/10 10:25:59

It’s strange how recruiting almost doesn’t matter now - FIJItiger MU

Agreed, just names and a brief recruiting profile - FIJItiger MU

- 9/10 09:46:33

It's sort of a crapshoot - o'lineydisciple MU - 9/10 09:15:54

The 3rd ranked recruit last year averaged - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 10:21:18

Good point. like a box of chocolate never know what you get(nm) - oldtgr MU - 9/10 09:59:41

Agreed and in this tranfer portal world everybody is a - jj40 MU - 9/10 08:31:19

One could easily argue in the old world order - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/10 08:27:04

Prior to our self cratering in 2014 MU was always a national - FIJItiger MU

- 9/10 09:41:49

As W.Cronkite would say.. and that's the way it is!(nm) - oldtgr MU - 9/10 07:56:57

Just keep the cash rolling. - Newcatbirdseat MU - 9/9 22:41:48

With what they an make for NIL - meatiger MU - 9/9 21:47:12

Bryant is already 19 (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/9 20:05:11

The hype might sell some season tickets like Michael Porter - alstl MU - 9/9 19:55:39

I agree completely - quicksand MU - 9/9 19:59:19

That's a long time away - if congress passes legislation - alstl MU - 9/10 08:30:32

If the government steps in it will get worse - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/10 10:17:11

Hard to imagine it could get worse but if anybody can - alstl MU - 9/10 13:04:04
