2 weeks 4 days ago	Just water.  Early morning	Just water.  Early morning tomorrow.
2 weeks 4 days ago	Again from an HR perspective,	Again from an HR perspective, and I am NOT defending the actions of these job applicants, but I have also noticed an increasing amount of "oddball" behavior on the part of business professionals.  It's becoming increasingly common to terminate employees via email or phone call, which is simply ridiculous.  Things are spiraling out of control from all ends it seems.
2 weeks 4 days ago	Being on the HR side of it,	Being on the HR side of it, it makes things very, very easy for us.  There might be no finer way for one to rule themselves right out of consideration.
2 weeks 4 days ago	Just a crap decision.	Just a crap decision.
2 weeks 4 days ago	I think it's appropriate that	I think it's appropriate that Pryor's stuff has "TP" stamped into it.
2 weeks 5 days ago	Would like to have him, but	Would like to have him, but don't feel we "need" him.
2 weeks 5 days ago	Dang..  Looks amazing but	Dang..  Looks amazing but they better keep it up in the SEC or that'll be a whole lot of empty seats.  If they can keep going they way they are, more power to them, but that's a really expensive gamble on the future of their program.
2 weeks 6 days ago	Right on.  Good for him.	Right on.  Good for him.

3 weeks 3 days ago	Lyles.	Lyles.
3 weeks 5 days ago	Lions. I feel like it's	Lions. I feel like it's another year, another big lol.  Just hoping that it works out.
4 weeks 7 hours ago	.	Argh, see above.  Sorry.  Meant to reply there, not here.
4 weeks 7 hours ago	According to Rivals, lotto	According to Rivals, lotto pick Trey Burke was only a 3 star.  Talent can come from anywhere.   .... ah crap, did I just start a "stars" argument?  Sorry everyone.
4 weeks 9 hours ago	By the time March rolled	By the time March rolled around, not much of it.  You're playing highly rated teams nationally and you can be paired up against anyone.  Like them or not, they did beat 1-seeds as well as lower-ranked seeds, so their ability to beat anyone and advance to X Final Fours and X championship games is still an accomoplishment.
4 weeks 9 hours ago	Definitely agree.  And even	Definitely agree.  And even if it means the occasional loss (to a good program), it makes for a way more interesting season for the entire conference.
4 weeks 9 hours ago	Who is "they"? I also thought	Who is "they"? I also thought they were "all in" on Parker because that was the only name I ever heard associated with MSU.  Granted I don't really follow basketball recruiting (ours included) so I don't know if they had offered anyone else or were looking at anyone else, but it seems like that scholarship plus the transfer they had (mentioned above, don't know who it was) down the road would make for two possible scholarships.  If that was the order then it makes sense why they suddenly had two available and then had to make a late season push to lure kids away from other, vulnerable programs like Minnesota.
4 weeks 9 hours ago	Boom, baby.	Boom, baby.
4 weeks 1 day ago	That's got to be rough.	That's got to be rough.  Sounded like he was so sure he wanted to be there but at least this sounds (from that little blurb) like a peaceful split.    And for him to ride out ALL the publicity associated with the last year or so and then leave now, after it has calmed down and it seems like most people/media have moved on.. ouch.  GL to him.
4 weeks 1 day ago	Might be the wrong thread but	Might be the wrong thread but since it was mentioned in the OP, is it "Mo" or "Moe" Ways?  I figure we should get ready for it to become a regular part of our vernacular.   :)
4 weeks 1 day ago	Ya buddies!  Good for him.	Ya buddies!  Good for him.  It's amazing he is still getting the attention and accolades so many years (decades) later.  A lot of respect out there for this man.
4 weeks 2 days ago	Really not bad at all when	Really not bad at all when you break it down like that.
5 weeks 8 hours ago	Can't imagine anyone saying	Can't imagine anyone saying that she didn't do good things for this school, and she did them pretty much across the board.  Athletic facilities, academics, and housing (even the one that basically turned into Soak City).  She will definitely be missed.
5 weeks 8 hours ago	That's AMAZING.  Thank you,	That's AMAZING.  Thank you, sir.
5 weeks 2 days ago	RIP, sir.	RIP, sir.
5 weeks 2 days ago	Poor poor Hammy.	Poor poor Hammy.
5 weeks 4 days ago	Solid.  Thank you OP for	Solid.  Thank you OP for sharing.
5 weeks 4 days ago	Often overlooked,	Seeing alllllllllll those young linemen (Fox, Bosch, Tuley, Bosch, Magnuson, Dawson) has me really, really, really, really excited.
5 weeks 5 days ago	It's possible.  I can't think	It's possible.  I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that I would say is better or more explosive than him coming out this year.  I think there are 5-10 players sitting at the top that are all pretty interchangeable as far as NBA potential goes, so he could just ask likely be picked 1-5 as anyone else.
5 weeks 5 days ago	Personally I don't think	Personally I don't think there is any chance he returns. He was pretty much gone after last season and his stock has never been higher.  Ergo, I think it's reasonable to assume he leaves.  He is being very respectful through the process and I think that's awesome.
5 weeks 6 days ago	Just wish the best for him.	Just wish the best for him.
