That statement is ironic. You’re defending a questionable position because of who said it rather than examine what was said. I didn’t defend Barkley as someone who has great credibility in this area. I agreed with you on that. I merely noted that he’s not necessarily wrong.
huh? so Baylor has more money on the tap than Nebraska regarding donors? big 10 conference money will always beat Baylor's big12 money to create advantage NE, no?
Probably. MVP is basically you take the guy with the best stats on the winning team. Doesn’t mean much to me in terms of this conversation. Some of the best leaders I’ve known weren’t the best players/team members.
Nebraska sits in the desert when it comes to talent natural resources.
Ok, well, feel free to go for it.
I pulled that example because people have in fact questioned his leadership. I don’t necessarily agree but it’s an example, even if not a great one. Most of that question comes from what happened since being a finals MVP, just like KD.
He's a top 10-15 player all-time. Honestly, who gives a flip if your view changed.
Since he’s doing TV a year after being an analyst, it would appear he’s not being bombarded with big time offers.
General comment. Unless you hear this come out of Bo Davis' mouth with time for a follow up question, don' t print it. You are setting yourself up for dumb predictions by relying on chirping from the same AD employees who have been so wrong in the past.
Curious on @Alex Dunlap 's opinion, but Collins has been pretty solid every time he has been on the field at UT. maybe he's not a practice player or has some other bad habits.
ditto. Ford looked good against Utah in the 2020 bowl game and i can't believe PK and Choate trotted Brockermeyer out first in 2021.
I’ve pointed out questions about Durant. You’ve asked what other finals MVP would be looked at the same way. Just because there may not be another finals MVP who compares doesn’t mean the claims about Durant are untrue.
I didn’t say he isn’t a top player performance-wise. Who gives a flip if your view hasn’t changed? I’m clearly not the only one thinking that way. And for all of Barkley’s shortcomings, which I agree with you on, he’s in a better possession to question than either of us.
but could it also be said that Nebraska's geography has not changed since they were really good, just the coaching got bad? they once recruited at a high level until poor HC choices manifested.
The dynamics of recruiting have changed dramatically since the 1990s, when they would go into New Jersey and raid the state for talent.
This years Brooklyn team will be the best they have had since KD has been there. Contract year for Kyrie so he might actually play 65 games. ( Maybe) KD healthy. Let's see how they do. It is KDs team. He is probably right at the end of his prime so it is an important year for him and the Nets.
That we could even debate the issue is an indication of how far the mighty have fallen. Maybe Berkshire Hathaway could start an NIL program.
Hey if it’s on an Eagles album it’s an eagles song but I get ya
TBD. Texas is giving us players after Sarkisian and a second group of players around 3:15 p.m. Going to try to sneak it in after the first group of players but that time frame is up in the air
Agree with this and if he can pull the team together after demanding to be traded, it will certainly add credibility to his leadership ability.
agreed and I think that money flow can eventually separate the haves from the nots, but with the right HC in place. NE has not had that in a minute.
Yea... I am not getting pulled into the leadership argument that is going on in here.
The only natural resource that matters is $$ (for the most part). The question is: Can NE money whip him where Baylor can’t compete?
Ha.Yea... I am not getting pulled into the leadership argument that is going on in here.
Hope KD has a great year. Have a hard time rooting for that team as i really don't like Kyrie.
