In the beer world unicorns are rare beers. Very good yes, but it’s the whale or white wale that is the most rare of all. For example;

Exactly and it’s funny considering how many locks he claimed Kentucky had only for them to commit elsewhere . Was paying attention to HOB over RR so good then ?
Brother man, on a personal level, it's wonderful to have you aboard the Good Ship of Reason on this issue.
You've always been a good poster; but man, I feel like it's going to take posters like you to help convince some of these old stalwarts of "college means academics first" crowd to eventually evolve on a philosophical level.
I'm glad you're thinking this way. Keep fighting the good fight. If college basketball is going to survive all this, we need to get ahead of the curve on the amateurism issue.
FYI Bazley got a guaranteed $1 million with possibility up to $14 million without even playing in the g-league. And he wasn’t even that highly rated a prospect.

WOW...Cal actually has something to say about this
Godfather Cal and his beard let 'em know that if he stole Clarke he'd be "sleepin' with the fishes".
It was much needed that Cal and Clarke addressed.
BBN was sharpening their teeth and preparing to cannibalize Strickland.

When does the G league start or was it supposed to start already? I'm ignorant about it is why I am asking so many questions.
Does it run concurrent with NBA season? I guess what I'm asking is does it start before the college season, same time, or later? Just curious if the timing would be an advantage or not for CBB.
This past season the G league regular season started November 8th
Thanks. That's what I was wondering. Hope that timeframe will help CBB. It ain't much to hang your hat on though.
Wow, everyone was bashing me for doubting an account with 2,000 followers that made a couple of lucky guesses. Funny how that works out.
Don’t be so gullible folks.

Not taking any shots at that Twitter Account. They, like many have good info/sources. I think many posters here are excellent regarding information. Don't want to leave anyone out but those I interact I with privately know who I'm referring to and some I don't provide excellent discussion/info as well.
The thing about Unicorn family has nothing to do with that account. It's just that info has been strong about them for over a year now. I think that account would even agree with that take. So it's not surprising but based on what I'd been told of Clarke I'd have been really surprised to see him go that route.
Doesn't make anyone bad/wrong to bring up discussion. The only inaccurate thing from this entire ordeal is the shots some took at Rod Strickland and just saw Kyle Tucker's commentary which is 100% incorrect take on this. This wasn't some heated discussion and it's not the first time they've spoken this Month either. My friend knows Rod well and never contacted me about Clarke and if something was going to happen, he'd have told me and allowed me to share/get word out.
They said he and Suggs were possibilities.
If Cal and Clarke addressed it publicly and Cal called Strick, this wasn't made up.
I second this. As long as the competition across the board is fair, who cares if the top 40 don’t go to college. 41-100 can still dunk the ball, make open shots, knock down free throws, etc. They don’t have as much of a “wow” factor, but I do agree that it will lead to better basketball in the long run.
Now if the NCAA allows players to transfer freely, then forget it. Kids will transfer as soon as they hit hardships or adversity. There will be even more roster turnover than there is now. At some point, there has to be a consequence to backing out of a commitment. This is why I’m not on board with Cal giving guys like Green and Baker waivers to play immediately.
no they need to let players go pro whenever they are good enough. Forcing kid to go to college is unamerican.
So you think coaches should be allowed to move freely, but not players. Yeah, that seems fair. You all act like college basketball is something important, it's not. It is an extracurricular activity that you're a fan of. Players should only have the same restrictions that coaches do, which is none.
I think we need to let the kids market themselves and get endorsements while in high school/college. That's where the money needs to come from
Coaches are considered employees of the school. The athletes aren’t filling out W-2’s or 1099’s at the end of the year. No one forces them to go to college. But if you do decide to commit to a school, you should have to honor that commitment or face a consequence. A coach is at a school for an indefinite amount of time while a player has a maximum of 4 years. They get compensated for their services in other ways. Comparing the players to the coaches is comparing apples to oranges.
And at the end of the day, there has to be some accountability for honoring commitments. If they can do whatever they want with no restrictions, what does that teach someone later in life when they encounter hardship? Take the easy way out? Having troubles with the wife and I’ve got another girl from work that has been wanting to get together. Should just go for it right? No restrictions and all. That’s just one example.
College football is 3 damn years and nobody bitches.
Will have a trickle down effect. You can believe the snowball will roll downhill.
No. I fkn didn't. You assumed and inferred incorrectly. Have someone read it to you
PG coach, yes. That could be the one thing missing from our PGs since he made himself get fired
Don't be so ...drama queeny? Everyone wasn't bashing you. I didn't even know you posted. Didn't even get the chance to bash you.
I feel cheated
THAT'S the American way! Forcing kids to line the NCAAs pocket and the networks' pockets is sht.
I loved college basketball before the NCAA decided to capriciously dk around with schools and favor others, before they rigged officiating and dropped any real oversight of it. They can go scrw themselves until they get a real president and a level playing field for all.
Yours, too? Same food. Same dog. But damm something died up in there over the past few days
Cal is gonna have to start wining and dining these officials, ncaa execs, and kissing media ass to get things back to level. Trouble is no one wants UK to catch UCLA, period. They'll let people cheat to catch up to us, but that pro team Wooden had bought for him for a decade is their golden child
Just don't see it happening. He won't be liked until he leaves UK.
Because you're comparing apples to oranges. The NFL doesn't want kids at 18, there is no minor league for the NFL, so the kid doesn't have an option.
That and 18 year kids would be killed playing in the NFL. The NFL guys are too big, too strong and too fast for an 18 or 19 kid to compete against.
