Baker-Mazara

I wasn't being one. Apparently you are just looking for reasons to be offended.
He does that every single time. He's screams that he was touched and is a victim. It's absolutely pathetic. Never seen a young person that said he has ZERO respect for old people act this way.......until now. Couldn't imagine meeting this clown.
 
Both Baker Mazara and Krissa will have sat out a full year for injuries. They both still get the free Covid year.

They also just happen to be old for their class, likely due to being foreigners.

There’s nothing wrong with guys being older if they are only taking 4 years (5 with the covid year) to actually play.

What does age have to do with it if they only get the same amount of years to play as anyone else?
Because tearing down players, who they think of as sub-human, is like breathing to some people. Say you don’t think Kriisa is the best player…fine. But being critical of him wanting to continue his college basketball career is laughably absurd. That’s why I was very forward with McPicnic or whatever his irrelevant name is.

I understand all that.

Just like I understand all the NCAA eligibility rules.

The point is, 25-26 year olds should not be allowed to play college basketball. It's a joke that freshmen and sophomores have to play against guys that are 7-8 years older then them. For many reasons. Mainly, there is a competitive advantage that physically and mentally mature men have over 18-21 year olds.

There needs to be an age limit of 23 or 24. Cap it at that. I get it, injuries happen. Or you come over late from some other country. I understand.

But that is life man. It becomes ridiculously unfair at some point. And to me, that occurs when you have 26 year olds dominating freshmen and sophomore who should not be forced to play against grown men.

I am so irrelevant you keep responding to my posts, or you mention me in other posts.

You are a joke. Keep up the good work.

I see. I don’t really agree though but all good. It doesn’t seem like the older guys are dominating to me. Baker Mazara might be the exception once all the seniors on Auburn move on.
 
Have we ever had a player with half his skill set not go pro at the first sniff of NBA $$$$??
6'7 guard averaging 13 points a game/shooting 40 percent from 3 in the best league in America and he's coming back??? WTF
Well, yeah ... but not since 2009

This is the kind of thing he was saying in another thread:

Time to move away from college basketball, Kerr.

Seriously though, the guy is going to be 25 next year, and quite frankly, it is embarrassing for any 24+ to be playing college basketball.

Nah...any 25 year old still playing college basketball needs to get a flippin life and move on.

Pathetic.
He doesn’t just have some preference about college basketball rules. He calls players pathetic for wanting to play in the sport and calls them embarrassing. Way over the line and doesn’t need to be celebrated. This kind of thing actually is embarrassing to BBN and should be called out.
 
I have been ridiculed in the "Kerr Returning" thread for saying that players who are playing college basketball at the age of 25+ make a mockery of the sport and have no business playing college basketball.

Apparently a big portion of our fanbase is cool with it, judging by their responses.

It's an absolute joke, and so are the 25-26 year old players who are still playing college basketball.
Can you honestly say if you were given the opportunity to earn around a million dollars doing something you love at 26 you'd say no?
 
mcnicKY69 was a HUGE Calipari lover, and his average roster age was 13 years old, so it all makes sense and ties in together. He also spits on people at nursing homes. The guy is just not right.
Yep don’t like piling on a guy but merciless people shouldn’t get the nice treatment. I can’t imagine being so smug and dismissive to someone for enjoying the same sport we love. And I stand by that even if Kerr goes elsewhere. We love CBB and these guys who have eligibility should want to use it

I stand by everything I said.

Do you want me to say it again so you can obsess more over my posts?

It is pathetic for Kerr Kriisa to still be playing college ball. It is pathetic for CBM to still be playing college ball.

I don't care what you or anyone else thinks dude. If it bothers you that much, then just ignore my posts.

I hated Cal and wanted him gone for years. What are you talking about?

I am going to guess you have absolutely no evidence to support your claim.
 
As if! Cal is everything, everywhere, all at once. Kentucky basketball would be nothing without Calipari, and you know it! In some ways he’s a father figure to me, just the same as his players. My nickname at my house is lil Savhir for a reason. So back off!


Look familiar bud? This is a post of yours from the 2022 season, and it’s easy to find. Watch your slander if you don’t want to get called out!

I never once posted that dude. Good work on your end, though, making it up.

I don't even talk like that, haha. So if you are going to recreate a post and put it under my name, at least make it believable.

I wouldn’t call one post against you being ridiculed. I’d call it a difference of opinion.

I have enjoyed watching basketball and cheering on UK my entire life. That being said, like everything else in this current basketball environment, age should be addressed. I am in the minority it seems but unless there are special, and I mean special, circumstances, there should be an age limit. Can anyone name a team in UK basketball history that was as old as the current team? I suppose it is the fact that I am getting older, but it seems unnatural to me for a player to be in a sixth or possibly 7th year of college and still be eligible or even want to be.

To be fair, I ridiculed it. I felt he was way over the line harsh so I tried to give a little back. I don’t know if he genuinely believes what he’s saying or if it’s just some kind of holdover Calipari agenda thing like some other posters said but being genuinely hateful to someone for playing CBB is a weird take. He said Kerr needs to get a life, which to me kind of deserved the pushback. He did acknowledge that another poster was deserving of respect for playing athletics at 25 since they worked multiple jobs to get there. I guess he doesn’t care about being consistent as long as he makes his point. In short, yes I ridiculed him.

Not your post, I’m talking about his post in the other thread where Supafuzz replied to him.

I'm just wondering how he wouldn't make more going pro. Seems pretty built for pro game from what I've see

I wish I was 25 and could play college ball. If anyone got upset I would just think they were jealous. If it is legal, we should applaud the kid for sticking it out. Lot of kids will make as much money with NIL as they would in Europe. Not everyone that leaves for the NBA makes a team roster and are stuck in the G league. Poor money and poor travel.
 
He came from the Dominican so he most likely got a late start.
If they find his real birth certificate he’s likely closer to 32 (likely not really, but many MLB prospects from the DR have proved there is some fudging that goes on there),

I’d not blame Choad Baker-Mazara for coming back. Getting paid to get a Masters (presumably) and be a college athlete at 25 sounds okay to me.

Would sure like to see Garrison take a belt after him in Auburn next season!
 
It’s not the end of the world or anything but at some point it does get a little crazy for 25 & 26 year olds to be playing college sports with 18-19 year olds
Yeah, it’s really not right that Cooper flag at age 18 has to play against someone who is 25 or 26. 🙄
 
The "Pavia" ruling is what's letting CBM have another year of eligibility.
It's really not a rule yet just an injuction by a judge that applies to former JUCO's.
I'm not a legal expert but I don't know how a judge can just declare that JUCO years no longer count against total years played.
Does the NCAA no longer have any right to govern itself?

No it isn’t. Before the Pavia case you had 5 years to play 4. Next season will be his 4th in 5 if he returns to school.

Edit: looks like he spent a year at some school in Florida, so he is benefiting from Pavia. My apologies SkyPrince
