I am obligated to love this kid because he committed on my birthday.

I hope he’s better at his sport than his older brother is at his, at least last year

The G League extended an offer to Whitehead on Saturday to join their G League Ignite team, reportedly worth $500,000.

"I recently had a Zoom call with Rod Strickland and Shareef Abdur-Rahim. I was grateful for their offer to be a max player in the G-League," Whitehead said. "I was truly blessed for the G-league offer. They gave the offer the day before I was supposed to commit and I didn't have much time to really think on it as much as I got to think about going to college.

g-league is like five to ten years too late with these 500k signing bonuses that would have been effective at the start of OAD. With NIL here, no high level recruit attending an elite program will ever settle for that little

Read that he’s actually good on defense. That will be refreshing to see.

Well, apparently we're not going to experience any recruiting dropoff. Scheyer just has to be above average at coaching and we'll be fine.

Scheyer can probably be the worst coach in history and win titles on the college level if all he does is recruit guys who can shoot and defend, and text them before each game to just take 3s and layups. There’s no amount of motivational skill that would be close to as valuable as simply building a good roster and using modern strategy. His competition would be like 2-3 other coaches in the country right now.

Do you pronounce this “Derrick?” Derrick is way whiter and less satisfying than Duhreek.

His last official visit was to Kansas so that has to sting Self a little bit like his reluctance to get vaccinated did.

Self was vaccinated

And he still got Covid? Didn't realize that.

Scheyer is doing well early on.

It's Da-REEK, from several interviews, including a Givony one from a few years back.

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

I think this is the best one. It’s from Potato Crisps Films. His ceiling appears to be the perfect player.

 

[Pantone287]

I feel like I should have more to say about this. It's legitimately phenomenal news.

Can we get some stats/praise/highlights porn in here?
