I think this was my only post on the matter.

If the choice is Love or Boswell, give me Love. But in truth I want to see the kids play. I think the future is brighter the more experience KJ, Krivas, and the freshmen get.

Does that put me on your People To Kill list or take me off?

TheCat wrote: Fri Mar 28, 2025 9:57 pm Chi what new news have you brought in the last 5 years other than complaints about everything.

“Projection is a defense mechanism where an individual unconsciously attributes their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings, or behaviors to another person or group.”

Can’t wait for your next batch of posts complaining that some people had issues with Caleb’s playing style. I’m sure they’ll be just as useful as all the others.

I just really think you have no idea the criticism he has faced throughout his career or any real compassion for someone that at times was unfairly criticized or personally attacked. How many times have you seen EVERY teammate felt compelled to address this issue? Why do you think they do that? Do you think that maybe they have seen the criticism or worse much closer than you? Do you think they are closer to how hard someone works, how committed to the team and teammates? Compassion when they recognize an injustice? Of course you don't.

You have changed and you are now the "get off my lawn guy" that was a good neighbor but something happened. Or as you would say maybe I'm projecting. LOL. Hope you find peace in your criticism of others and that it helps you in someway.

Maybe a late second rounder. More likely he’ll get a free agent invite to a camp and might get a G-League or two-way contract.

Honestly, he would dominate in Europe or Asia, but he has to chase his dream. I hope he proves himself to be an NBA-level talent. Definitely pulling for him.

Even if undrafted, he'll get a look - sometimes, a free agent contract can work better than a 2nd round pick, because the player has some choice between a couple of teams for a pre-season contract...
I think his tournament performance might have got him a late 2nd round flyer. The big issue is that scouts have seen that before and know he is not consistent, so I am not sure how much of a bump he will get from it.

If you look at the Duke game there were many shots he made that he absolutely would have missed when his confidence was shot earlier in the year.

If Caleb could keep the mindset of a competitive dog all the time I think he could carve out a role in the NBA. Just seems that unless he is playing for something important he can't maintain that mindset consistently.

Holy shit. Thanks for the dime store psychoanalysis.

The next definitions you should look up are “sanctimonious” and “insufferable”.

His defense, rebounding and passing are all positive, too

That is a very interesting question.

How does the NCAA enforce any rules without contracts?

How many years you can play. When you can transfer. Who can pay you. And for what. What you can do with your NIL? Roster and scholie limits? Do you have to go to class? How much can a team practice per day or week?

U.P. Zona Fan wrote: Sat Apr 19, 2025 3:11 pm How long is it until we get a player (or institution) sue to allow a kid with no eligibility left to play? How iron clad is that 4 year rule? I mean if you are getting your PhD you could be enrolled there for like 10 years! What's to keep a Caleb Love or Hunter Dickinson from enrolling in grad school and the school suing the NCAA over its eligibility policy? The courts haven't been upholding the NCAA's policies lately.

Not that I want to see it, but it just seems like it could possibly be a thing that happens, especially when kids are making life changing money in college to play sports. If you get 3 more years and 9 million more dollars and a PhD in 8 years, that's better than I was setting out of college. (Which isn't saying much)

I think I understand why the NCAA doesnt want contracts but I dont understand how they run their business without them.

On Love, when players play like shit they get criticized. Especially if their team loses. Been that way since the dawn of time. When they play well the opposite happens. Especially if their team wins.

Love did a lot of both things at Arizona who won, and — relative to its historicals — lost, a lot of games.

Seems pretty simple.

If I understand you you’re saying that there is currently 2 players without eligibility left in the portal. Which may mean that they are testing and if picked up by a program and denied another season by the NCAA will sue. With the way things have gone I guess they’d probably win too (not a lawyer disclaimer).

The reason why college basketball players with no remaining eligibility are entering the NCAA transfer portal
By Kyle Boone

Apr 22, 2025 at 9:47 am ET

There have been more than 2,000 men's college basketball players enter the transfer portal each of the last two years amid a growing epidemic of player movement in the NIL era. But a new twist in the portal trend has emerged of late with the deadline to enter the portal strikes Tuesday night: players with no remaining eligibility throwing their name into the transfer market.

Yes, that's right: Players whose college eligibility has expired — some of whom have even played five seasons — are entering the transfer portal.

The moves come with the looming House vs. NCAA antitrust settlement decision looming as soon as this month that could change NCAA eligibility rules, and in theory may offer a new framework on the previous four-year eligibility clock that has long been in place. The case hangs over the sport as coaches and players await the ruling, which could have a significant impact on what teams and players do in the coming months and how rosters are constructed.

With so much uncertainty surrounding that case and how it may be ruled on, players seem to be portaling with no remaining eligibility on the hope of keeping flexibility open. Technically doing so is legal, though at the moment it amounts to no more than a waste of clerical work.
