Exactly, to me, just hearing something is better than nothing. Everyone acts like he is maggard or hoover posting things. Has Dave ever charged you anything like these other guys. If his information bothers you so much, don't read it. I like his comments.
Got to wait a little longer on big Z

Even if Cal himself is a person's source, your still not going to be right 100% of the time. People don't like to hear it, but most things are fluid. Cal calls the NCAA compliance office. "What's Bis Z's status looking like today?.. Well Coach Cal, if everything we have is true, we should have him cleared in 4 days." Cal then tells people Z will be cleared in 4 days. 5 days go bye, Z is not cleared, and Cal calls again. "Yeah Coach Cal, we found some new stuff we have to check out, get back with us in a couple days"
Was the the "insider" wrong because it did not happen in 4 days, yes, but not because the info was bad. It was correct at the time, but the situation was fluid. Why anytime I try and pass info I get, I always try and qualify it with, what I am hearing at this time, or ect.

Man, you are taking a chance by saying that. You will be on the crap list next to dave
How many times has ccc said something that was incorrect? Yet, some still worship the ground he walks on.
Would much rather believe Dave than ccc
Z has been playing against men pros. No one on UNC will bother him. Z will be better than our other bigs.
Depends. I'd have to consult several charts and potentially sacrifice a chicken.

Didn‘t Dave pop open a Shasta after he guaranteed Cade Cunningham to UK?
I believe he did. Was thinking Ski, but yes, I think you’re right with Shasta. But I believe at time of post, he probably was correct on the info. It changed, quickly.
To be fair, Dave has explained that, who his sources were, and what he was told. CC did verbal to Calipari after BBM, and Dave was told this by a parent where he played. They even setup an announcement date with his HS coach for the following week. Once CC got home, Dad basically changed his mind.. the ole blood is thicker than water thing. Calipari flew down to FLA to try and save the committment.. But in the end, he played for his brother.
I prefer to get information from reliable sources.. understanding things do change.. We all remember Terrance Jones right? Lets stop killing the messenger. I prefer to get whats known at the time.
Well...
The problem with that argument is that I don't believe everything Cal says. I don't worship the ground he walks on. I've seen him be wrong and evasive on injury issues. So when he says something, I question it.
I've seen Dave be wrong a good number of times too. So when he makes a thread with a proclamation, I have my reservatioins.
But you choose to believe who you like.
Is Big Z even a real person? Starting to think this guy is just a myth and we've all been suckered.

Thanks for the great info Dave, you’re killin it!!
He's trying his best. I don't think anyone knows at this point. There have been several solid sources been just completely wrong on this one.
Dave ain't here man. (for the older crowd)
Trying to find out what happened with z. Though I trust information coming from where it comes from it is moving in slow motion. I may not get an answer for a week. It's understandable once you knew the route it takes
Sounds like something a UofL fan would say to a UK fan. LOL
So you think that if Z is eligible and cleared that Cal is holding him back…that makes no sense at all. This is almost as bad of a take as the “none of our three 7 footers will play all season” crowd.
Nobody on this team needs “their day.” All information regarding these kids is that they are great individuals and are willing to sacrifice for their teammates.
It’s not overly complicated. Big Z isn’t “officially” cleared yet, but the path for it to be finalized is within sight.
Be patient, he will hit the floor before long. I just hope people don’t think he will be some stud. He will be serviceable and a good addition to the frontcourt. Just don’t want posters to think he will come in averaging 10 and 10.

I'm expecting 2 points/ 2-3 rebounds a game for Onyenso. Maybe one block per game.
I'm expecting about 3-4 points/ 2 rebounds per game for Big Z.

Do you have a source for this? Or just hopeful? (I am a glass half full person)...
I do think with all the "smoke" this week, there must have been some forward progress. I wonder if it has something to do with this "half semester" of classes he is taking.. Maybe he has to successfully pass those and enroll in spring semester before becoming eligible?
As long as we get 15+ points/10+ rebounds/2+ blocks (limitless shot alterations) per game from Bradshaw, all good.
Not always the case. Plenty of euro guys have played against pros then come to college and struggle so it’s not a set thing. Bacot and the other big (name escapes me) are better than the pros Z played against and will play in higher/tougher leagues from day one if they don’t play in the NBA or G league.
That would be really good numbers for a 9th and 10th man.
It’s as close to a “done deal” as it could be at this point. Not just optimism.
Any word on our 7 three footers!! Are they international players. Hard telling when they will be cleared. Heard they can jump out of the gym!! #FREETHELITTLEFOLKS
I heard they were transferring to Wonka's. Although OZ was also in contention.
