Magoon returns to sdsu

[TankedCat]

Pope didn't even start until well after mid April last year and we ended up with a top 25 team and a 3 seed - and he started with nothing.

If he is in a bidding war and the kid is overpriced, I'm glad UK is showing some fiscal responsibility. There are a bunch of kids in the portal.

I'm confident UK will be fine

THE SKY IS FALLING. WE ARE NOW ETERNALLY DOOMED.

You guys need to find Jesus and not trilly.

Aren't they the same?

 

[Seth_C]

Or pope just does not want to make bidding war

I don’t think Pope wants the type of player whose top priority is always the just who will hand them the biggest bag. I don’t blame him.

Wait, are you saying Trilly isn't Jesus's guy? Big if true. I'm going to have to take down that golden Trilly statue now.

No one knows who Trilly is. For all we know he could be Jesus just trying to keep a low profile.

I'm afraid that is about all the portal is now. It's not your Daddy's ncaa game anymore it'd show me the money.

Getting some of the picks wrong just to throw people off the scent.

Well, to be fair the man said in his introductory press conference he was going to find people who didn’t merely let that jersey clothe them. We cheered. Now, that’s going to mean we may have some times like tonight where we didn’t get the player. It’s an adjustment for me to trust the process as it is for many others. I’m frustrated we didn’t get Gwath, but the fact that he took less money to stay loyal to his school tells me Pope is trying to find the right kids. I, too, am sure we will be fine.

 

[SkyPrince1]

If you want him bad enough you pay him a number he can't refuse.

You can't lose battles to SDSU. That's outrageous.

Basically that's you believing what you want to believe regardless of any factual information to the contrary.
If SDSU is where he wants to be then that's where he should be.
Making a kid an offer " they can't refuse" is just asking for a malcontent on the team.

Or either he used UK to get a higher bag from san diego state.

Did you read the tweet from SDSU coach Butcher? I didn’t speculate. What I said was based on the horses mouth. He stayed for less money. They didn’t have the money and the coach even acknowledged it

 

[crawfords corner]

Im not big on anyone who played for SDSU this season so Im relieved. Better players out there.

 

[bbncal02]

This sucks. There’s no way SDSU outpaid us.

What else would you expect a coach to say?

Idk what to tell you. If you read that tweet and think it was coach speak I have no words. It certainly didn’t make SDSU sound set up to be a FA destination

 

[Jamal Sunburn]

This plus only one guy in the Burger game. Very sobering.

Coaches would never lie.

 

[SkyPrince1]

One thing that jumps out to me is that we probably didn't do any tampering throughout the season.
Some of these players seem like the deal was 90% when they entered.

I said that part like a week ago and people thought it was a joke. You do have to tamper heavily in this new era.

I'm not sure that is a good thing,

7'0" 205.

I don't care what kind of skill set the dude has, in the SEC, he would have been broken in half!!!!

You don't sell the farm for a kid that isn't sure he wants to be here AND is putting his name into the NBA Draft. That would have been another 2 months of worrying whether he was ACTUALLY coming here.

PLENTY of options remain. Just PLEASE Coach Pope, don't make a hasty decision and bring in a kid that couldn't get it done at FREAKIN IU!!!!!!!

Magoon is a 19yr old kid who was probably encouraged to enter the portal because"it's the thing to do".
At the end of the day it looks like he just didn't have the balls to leave and wanted to stay in his comfort zone at SDSU
Not the first player to do that.

Could be but I this is a loss that will haunt us next season.

I'll admit the only game I seen him.plsy was against UNC and he didn't look like an impact player in that game.
It not like UNC has good bigs either.

One thing that concerned me is the possibility for the Sam Bowie effect. Magoon was injured quite a bit this past season. He’s underweight and has very thin legs.

I don't know where you play him.
He's really not an SEC center.
I think people were getting ahead of themselves thinking he was the type to come in and plant Garrison on the bench.

 

[Blue wood]

Aaron Torres doesn't know shit.

Wow, sounds like your mad as usual at something positive if UK

 

[Cawood86]

My understanding was he had some injuries issues last year. Is that true?

 

[Blue wood]

Is it okay to be a little concerned now?

Basketball season isn't even over, and your panicking? Weak

 

[bookerfan66]

How was that positive?

Hey @cornbreadnmilk , You asked for proof that you and @track42 are the same person. You got upset at me for calling @track42 chicken little. Why? Follow the screenshots below. Nah, you and @track42 aren’t the same person…😂😂

 

[bookerfan66]

Maybe he/she doesn't like rude people? Just a thought. Sometimes I take up for other posters.
