...this is insane: https://athlonsports.com/college/du...-possible-deportation-final-four-loss-houston

I thought this might be an article from The Onion at first.

Florida was ranked 21st in the first AP Poll back in October. Was curious about that because they've arguably been the best team all year and there was virtually no mention of them in the preseaon Final Four/National Title conversation whatsoever. I'm cheering for Houston to win it tonight but unfortunately I think the Gators close it out for their third title.

SO all we hear is how stupid and emotional our fan base is. The worst ever? Right? We kill recruiting with our fan base...right?

Well, I did this awful thing. I went and read some of the Dukie game day thread. It only takes 10 minutes. Just just how the game unfolded in the second half and the end. My gosh they are hard n their players and coaches. It was pretty awful. The crying over the refs is really amazing. So maybe us hill Billie's aren't so unusual after all. I mean these are really smart ivy league fans. I'd think their emotional maturity would be a cut above.

"How many McDonald's all Americans does Scheyer F&%$ing need"

"Proctor can walk home"

"worst choke job of all time"

"this game will forever prove that Duke does not get the calls"

Who you got? I can think of many things that are plus/minus for either team. SEC, number of National Championships, Gator fans, Sampson history, Golden, reward for beating dUKe (!!!), lots of issues....

Personally, I like Houston. I think they deserve it and despite a previous dislike of Sampson, I kind of like him now

Walter Clayton Jr was #69 ranked portal player in 2023. It seems like most fans are distraught on not landing top five portal players. Just thought this fact may remind everyone of that talent evaluation and player development is tricky.

Don’t believe it will be Folgueiras because he’s in Spain or somewhere and said he wants to visit before committing? So who do we think will be the next Cat ?

Per KSR
In the current Wild Wild West of recruiting, transparency and guardrails are coming — assuming the settlement is approved, as expected. Until then, though, Mark Pope feels his hands are tied in some areas no matter how strong a feel he has for what’s coming.
That’s impacting a lot of his day-to-day in terms of roster management and the NIL hurdles that pop up in every discussion. We’ll start big-picture and Pope’s desire to add a general manager, the way other high-profile programs have to navigate what has become free agency in college basketball with incoming and outgoing pieces while battling the draft and high school targets.
They’re recruiting now, but much-needed clarity is potentially a week away.

“We were deep in the portal last week, we will be this week and for the next weeks and months to come,” he said. “There’s even more chaos because this settlement is pending out there and that’ll change the way we’re allowed to work in the portal. There’s chaos and uncertainty and all the things.

I know his credibility is unknown a bit but this is the first I have seen toward a meeting with Quaintance

Delete if not allowed but just a general question.

Is it even possible to get tickets to the Lexus Lounge even in the after market? I never see them sold anywhere and I am assuming it's to keep the riff-raff out. But it seems like a waste if someone can't go. Willing to pay.

I called last year to get two and evn inquired about a wait list.

Several offensive linemen visited over the weekend.

I would not forecast Eglitis to them right now. Miller is rising up the board and landed the offer.

More on DJ Hunter: Will be cleared sometime this summer after tearing his ACL in the last game of his sophomore season. Guy with real upside. Having family in Lexington helps. His mom's side of the family is still there, most importantly grandparents.

Hunter did tell me that he is going to continue to visit other schools so here is the thing. If he blows up, you have to continue recruiting him. Helps that he has a good relationship with Wolford and Hamdan. Nice first get. Because he was injured, I wouldn't put much stock in the offer list. I think he's legitimately a high ceiling guy at this point in his prep career. Dynamic dual threat guy who can make some big-time throws.

Hamdan has had more of a preference for guys who can run. He also has 2026 four-star QB Oscar Rios coming in this weekend as well.

In-state offered OL Brady Hull stands a good chance of ending up with the Wildcats if he stays locked in and the development continues positively, and he was in Lexington again today.

Add Louisville (Ky.) Trinity DL Jule'one Carney to the visit list for this weekend. The 6'2, 265-pound defensive lineman landed an offer from Southern Miss earlier this year. 2027 prospect.

Fellow 2027 defensive prospect at Trinity, Sebastian Blue, will also be at UK this weekend. He has offers from EKU and Southern Miss. He's 6'3, 250 pounds and works with Chris Vaughn.

2026 Alabama linebacker Monroe Partin visited for spring practice today. The 6'4, 215-pound prospect has offers from USF, South Alabama, and UAB, among others.
