Why? Because no one really has to adhere to your flawed Ed and abstract reasoning, sorry. What are you talking about, besides doing what you do best, pick fights with other posters? Picking fights? Cmon get out of your feelings/ego…you don’t have to take everything so personally. No need to try to bully folks into silence just because they don’t agree with you. To my original point, you policing posts and telling folks they should temper expectations is obviously your priority but don’t be surprised when folks push back and endeavor to inject some positivity on this board. Why don’t you have the same energy for negative posts? Only positive posts make you uncomfortable?

"All of the coaches looked like me" I feel like that's a pretty bizarre thing to focus on during a college visit.

I don’t find the comment bizarre at all. Not challenging any other viewpoints in my belief.
But if you are a baller & fairly tall having tall coaches would def fit the mold of having similar looks. I mean is some turd like Wojo is recruiting you he certainly doesn’t look like you. Or some sanctimonious sacred cow like Coach Hypocritsky at Duke ? Some little angry man? Orr & Ewing especially are BALLERS.

I found the comment refreshingly open and honest.

"All of the coaches looked like me" I feel like that's a pretty bizarre thing to focus on during a college visit. Not if you are a minority during this social climate. As a minority, even a superstar bball player, you deal with different issues than the majority. It's nice to know that all of your coaches understand those issues. I felt really good about accepting my current position because we have around a 50/50 split.

I'm sure this has happen as well especially at Georgetown with the campus positioned on the border of Chocolate City. Once your on campus you can clearly see Georgetown is diverse but there are those that still think GU is an HBC.

Coach and player is an important relationship. If this player feels comfortable with our staff because he can relate to them, awesome.

Very true because I always thought I played my best with coaches who I could just talk and relate to. This is great as I was a tad concerned for awhile about the age of some of the staff regarding their abilities to get in touch with the youth but happy to be wrong esp when it comes to a 5 star

Thinking about the possibilities...
Harris (Jr) Riley (So) Mohammed (So) Livingston (Fr) King (Grad)
Beard(So), Anglin(Fr), Clark(Jr), Billingsley(So), Mutombo(So)
Holloway, Igohoefe, Wilson
That's a solid core & I genuinely can't think of a more athletic 5 we've started in the last 20 years. Lots of long-term questions right now, but amazing potential.
Could slide Ryan in and move King to the 4 for a bigger lineup when needed. And Riley/Mohammed/Livingston would be crazy interchangeable & a defensive menace from 2-4.
And of course... other roster moves possible too -- good (bench guys transfer to be replaced by impact recruits/xfers?) & bad (Aminu/King/others leave early?)

Definitely isn’t Chocolate City anymore Yes you would know that if you've been in the DMV within the last 5 year. If you haven't and your only real knowledge is the media you could think differently.

Why don’t you have the same energy for negative posts? Only positive posts make you uncomfortable? Ok, fine. "Bully" is not a term with which I believe I have ever been associated, but whatever. And I have gotten on people who seem excessively negative (see hoyaboya, for example). You also may have noted a cordial exchange I had with ewingera relating to some "kid" silliness. So I'll end this basically the same way I ended that: Come on down, Livingston.
