I'm arguing w/ a poster who appears to be convinced that the Carolinas are on the same footing as NY in basketball and that Greensboro = NYC. That's like me saying "Syracuse = Greenville (SC) area in football." I wish it was true, but it just isn't.

i never said Greensboro = NYC. you are debating a strawman. NYC is obviously much larger metro and will have more recruits. my point is teams don't need to land recruits from NYC to be good and also that there aren't that many great players from NYC. My other point is that simply playing games in NYC does not mean teams will land recruits from NYC, and the ACC doesn't need to play games in NYC to have exposure.

you can't refute any of these arguments

you come across as one of these brash New Yorkers who think the whole world revolves around NYC. get over yourself. if northeast basketball is so great then why did those former BIg East teams leave to join a bunch of universities in the south. lol

Perspective: I grew up in Nashville rooting for Vandy.

If you world view has led you to believe that I don't care or know about southern basketball, I can assure you that your analysis is flawed. Believe me or not, I strongly urge you to consider the possibility that you don't know everything that you don't know.

Like I said in an earlier post, I'm not going to argue on this thread any more (other than posting things that I find light-hearted and humorous and/or general statements like this). It's too hostile as is.

i don't care if you don't like care or know about southern basketball, you make wild inferences. i don't care about you at all.

i suggest you consider the fact you don't know what you don't know. you seem to like talking down to people. i dn't see evidence that you know more than I do.
