NCAA HOOP

i wld rather go to usc but arkansas is nice too

Let's name jobs better than Arkansas, understanding this is of course subjective:

Kentucky
Carolina
Kansas
Duke
Arizona
UCONN
Michigan
Michigan State
Texas
UCLA
Southern Cal (I guess)
Villanova
Louisville and (especially) Indiana are like Marty McFly's siblings fading away in that photo at the end of Back To The Future

that's 14, but i'm not so sure a coach leaves Arkansas for Indiana.

we're talking history, of course, and resources, nearby recruits, etc. i don't have enough info on NIL programs to consider them.

Zags? Houston? Virginia? Maryland? Ohio State? we're getting into dicey territory.

In addition to the Tyson chicken family, Arkansas has a *ton* of money it can tap into, and it *cares* about being good at basketball.

Florida, maybe.
Syracuse? Not imo. But I suppose some people would think so.
Illinois if you can get Chicago kids.

I might've underrated Maryland and Ohio State.

Point is Arkansas is right near #15 ... maybe it's #14, maybe it's #17. I almost put "top 20" but got excited. :)

Arkansas is 52nd in most recent final four appearance. A good Jimbo retirement job for college basketball's Jimbo.

Cal is a great car salesman but pretty meh as a strategic in game coach.

Cal recruits big throws them out there and if their magnificence wins out good, but switch things up in game rare to never.

Dude made much of his rep as big fish small pond conferences.

da big game

clamps are down baby

^^

its true

Heading into commercial...shot of Hurley losing his shit.

Announcers: "The coaches are into to it"

Cut to shot of Painter, slowly receding into the hedges.

I follow like 2 or 3 co-nuggets fans/uconn alums and they are loving the malone-like rage timeouts

uconn’s playbook and execution are just on another level. they look like an NBA team

Edey doesn't seem like someone who will make it in the NBA except maybe as one of those weird end-of-game bench guys who you can occassionally gamble on

yeah hurleys lapping the rest of college

they fuckin pass and cut so well

it’s so funny when you watch a lot of NBA and then watch a little college and even the best teams struggle to do things like get the ball over half under pressure, make a secondary read, rotate correctly on defense… and then you watch uconn and they’re on a string

Part of Edey's incredible value is that he's one of the rare 7-footers that can play 40 minutes. Clingan can't.
