Go ahead and clarify your comment after a previous comment you posted about me, your current comment may require it. But I won't hurt your feelings too much, wouldn't want a warning for speaking the truth.

They must not have liked his comment very much

He took a shot at me earlier saying I was a Muslim or a trump supporter. Not even sure where that came from so I responded accordingly. I was warned, wonder if he was.

He was banned for multiple infractions. You were warned for starting the whole thing off by saying the board was a lot less dumb when he wasn't around. Just clarifying.

6'7 2017 fwd Isaiah Livers (Kalamazoo Central, MI./Meanstreets 17u) offered by Butler on today's visit. Visits to Purdue and Michigan next.

^I wonder if Michigan prefers him over Stansbury.
 
Milton High (GA) 2017 four-star guard Alex O'Connell (@Alex_OC11) announces an offer from Mick Cronin and Cincinnati. Per Chip Miller twitter. Looks like some bigger schools are on him. I like his game a lot.
 
Looks like Mick is moving on from 2016 class. Carrying two scholarships over and adding them to the departures of Capuain and KJ gives us a chance to really have a GREAT 2017 class.

We do this every year. We strike out on good recruits, then say "pocket dem schollys", and act like we're on the verge of a monster class. Then we go into the season extremely thin and one guy gets hurt and we talk about how unlucky we are. Then we strike out in recruiting again and say "just pocket dem schollys yo", then we go into the season extremely thin, and one guy tweaks an ankle and we talk about how unlucky we are. Rinse and repeat. Thin roster, multiple empty slots, one tweaked ankle and Quadri Moore is out there as a FR vs Kentucky, then we act like "pocketing them schollys" is a no brainer. Ugh.

Ahh you're right. Forgot about Strickland. You know what I mean in general though. 1-2 scholarships roll over season after season after season. And every year we are sold the idea that we're going to fill them. If the staff has no intention of doing so, they should just say that. But I listen to the end of year radio shows, and every year either Cronin or Davis will talk a good game about filling the roster and going out and signing multiple players, but they never actually do it.

They have no desire to have 13 guys on scholarship unless there is an unusual transfer situation. Having that many guys just creates dissension at the end of the bench and issues in the locker room. 12 is the number they typically aim for, and the number they have been at far more often than not. They have tried to find someone to get to 12 this year and have either felt the target wasn't a fit or the kid picked a school with a much more direct path to starter type minutes. If you want to crush them for that, feel free. Creating false narratives to get there doesn't do anyone any good...

I don't have the info that you do. So if you say 12 is the magic number, I'll work with that from here on out.

If Stansbury was a target to offer immediate help, how come the year sitting out was a deal breaker?
