Trey Zeigler
More informative headline, please.
get faster internet or quit complaining
I love clicking on things that I'm not sure I want to click on.
Quoting Brian directly, "I'd support more informative thread titles since there's nothing I hate more than that moment of terror when someone posts a thread title like "Tate Forcier"; first and foremost I'd make the thread title more informative, like "Tate Forcier is awesome" or "Tate Forcier decommits, everyone commit suicide now.""
To whoever gave me a thumbs down for this,
Brian has expressly asked that we have informative headlines. This was in large part to cut down on vague subjects that were too often just a player or recruit's name. The headline is currently just "Trey Zeigler". We can do better.
Meh. Sometimes it's better to just let this stuff go. For the most part, headlines have been vastly improved. It's not like this guy used "Michigan Basketball" as his header... If you can't see "Trey Zeigler," the name of a Michigan basketball recruit, and figure out that the post probably has something to do with his recruitment and/or performance, no level of detail will ever be enough for you.
Also, quit worrying about the thumbs downs.
I'm not worried about thumbs down for the sake of my own point total, I could care less about that. Brian made that sticky for the purpose of cutting down on headlines like this. My problem with the negative points is that it shows contempt for what Brian asked for. A post titled "Trey Zeigler" could contain anything from "Trey Zeigler blows up at camp" to "Trey Zeigler blows nursery." Notice, in contrast, TomVH's diary titled not "Terry Talbot", but "Terry Talbot- Visit" Also, I'm done with this thread.
Thumbs down issues aside, you make a good point about titles. I just think we need to be a little bit picky about the ones we chastise. If Trey was already a Michigan commit, you'd be right, but for now we can lump all Trey Zeigler questions/news together.
I'll give you an explanation too. You bitch about having to click on links without knowing the subject therefor, yet you post a series of useless comments. Really, you've wasted more time writing these comments than you presumably have wasted clicking on a link that directs you to content you are uninterested in. You're simply being disingenuous. People are going to give you negative points not because it shows contempt for what Brian asked for, but because it shows contempt for the content of your posts.
Actually, I never felt like I "wasted" my time clicking on this link, I'm interested in the topic. I just want the headlines of threads to be clear so in the future the board isn't filled with vague headlines. I defended this position. There's nothing disingenuous or IME unreasonable here.
I agree with you Jungle Chop. I thought we were done with these thread titles too, but they seem to be back, even when Brian tells people to avoid them. I am semi interested in Trey Zeigler, but I couldn't give a shit about what was posted in this thread. If it were "Trey Zeigler could be a 5 star, where we at?" I just wouldn't have clicked. If it were "Trey Zeigler close to commitment" I would see what the thread had to say.
There is a lot of info on this blog nowadays, and it's important to be able to weed out the threads that I'm not interested in.
I gave you a thumbs down for being a babby. A whiny, annoying babby. The solution to all of this is to stop being such a little babby and realize that the internet isn't serious business. Just e-pinion, no sugar-coat.
also, no spell-check.
I agree completely, on all counts. You should not have gotten negged for that, and I think you were right to ask for a more informative header. +1
You're right
Conventional wisdom at the moment has it as a Michigan/Central Michigan battle, but he plans on dragging it out. Plenty of time for a Michigan State or a UCLA to get into the top group.
I like our chances.... Other top schools.. Not so much
Well it's not a question of prestige. His dad is the head coach at Central. Sometimes family wins out.
being semi close (but not close) to the situation is that he will ultimatly not go with his dad ... part of this is because i think his dad realizes trey might have a future in basketball beyond college and that central's program is not the best way to get there/ get ready to be there
Am I correct - this is the slasher we're going to be missing when Manny is gone? I like having Central being a competitor with his family involved. It will make him more likely to stay around here and I like our chances if he values his family ties as JB seems to be a family guy.
his dad is the coach of Central. and it appears that UCLA is in the top group already. those in the know seem to like our chances better than any other school, but not over 50%.
I don't know about that, man. I hope you're right, but I haven't heard that thought echoed. Mainly I've heard Zeigler is still open and his recruitment will be going for awhile.
Take-home message: We have a shot at Zeigler. More amazingly, even if we don't land him, we are probably the favorite for the top 4 2011 state of Michigan recruits (though we won't have schollies for all of them).
So get excited -- bball is definitely on the rise.
#1 ... I am from the Mt. P area and I would be absoulutly shocked if he went to central even for daddy, he is too good and central has been horrible other than kaman's final yr for as long as i can remember
#2 .... A friend of mine whose currently at michigan as a student but played with zigler as a sr (when zigler was a sophomore) has told me trey has always loved his visits and themichigan atmosphere and seems generally excited about the chance to become a member of the leader and best
I am feeling goood enough to say id put the odds at about 60% towards him coming
Please spell his name correctly. Thank you.
It'd be down to Michigan and CMU. Don't be surprised to see him wanting to play for his dad. His dad have the advantage of going to AAU games to watch his son play. Michigan is very much in play and if they can make the NCAA tourney again the next year, it'd be interesting. He's a late decision so we're going to have to wait for a bit.
Michigan will make it to the tourney this year, I guarantee it.
on that prediction. I will also go out on a limb and predict Purdue and MSU will make the tourney.
I think it was more of a response to the person who said "if Michigan can make the tournament this year..."
I was just kidding. I would be shocked if Michigan doesn't end up a 5th seed or higher.
If he goes to either Central or Michigan, I'm gonna have him on one of my teams. I'd prefer Michigan though, even as a Central student.
Quit negging people for no fucking reason, or because you disagree.
I neg every single person who whines about points.
Including this post.
Rarely do I say anything about mine, but people are getting a bit happy w/ the down arrows in general.
nice, thanks guys
That would have been my header.
