RE: Men's Basketball Recruiting: 2018
I think the angst is with the general reality that everybody seems to be getting their share of the transfer market locked up, but we have not gotten anyone yet.

Just talked to a friend, they heard Laurel while others are hearing Yanny and Yammy. Don't know who they are but it could be just what we need.

5 fouls and some rebounds is better than nothing. But I’m with you in that I hope we can do better
Those guys arent better than Reece and Ekikpe are (as true freshman). There is no reason to just grab bodies if you have a shot with the LSU guy.

Earlier you said that if Reece and Ezikpe could just get 15-20 minutes combined between the two of them, get a few rebounds and any offence they could muster would just be considered a plus. That's a pretty low bar to say that some other guys are no better than.
Frankly, I don't know how good those two will be this season. A year ago most everyone had high hopes for Godwin and Hueitt having a nice freshman year and being solid contributors off the bench. We all saw how that played out. They both hardly played.

I heard laurel lol
There must be more than one message being put out. I heard Yammy this afternoon and don't see how anyone could have possibly heard Laurel. My wife heard the same thing as I did - Yammy - this afternoon, however she heard the message earlier this morning and said that she heard them saying Laurel then.

Team Yanny is hallucinating. The guy clearly says Laurel.

Pretty sure the Yanny supporters are either memeing or they're trying to gaslight us into thinking it's not saying Laurel.
Question for the Yannys: Where and when did Nelson Mandela die?

Huh. I was assuming that is what he heard ... instead of Yanny or Laurel.

I'm assuming the thread got too stupid (it did) and that was his breaking point.

Maybe we shouldn't turn a stickied news related thread into memery, but I know I'm in the minority when it comes to regulating stickied threads. Shrug.

Eh, it was a brief detour during a week that's been devoid of any tangible recruiting news.
