Roger that. Nice that we have a proven 20 PPG scorer coming off the bench.
Plus, while I’ve never really been a huge fan of Caleb Grill, he’s back. We were pretty good with him, and like 0-20 without him. Or something close to that. [Reply]
Would have been nice to get Mitchell a little sooner, (their tourney run delayed that) just so we could finally be out of the Porter business altogether. I'm convinced that's the only reason Pingeton got another year. [Reply]

Jevon missed 10 games because of injury last year. So he's starting to catch the ole Porter injury bug from being raised by weirdos and getting no protein as they grow.
I want absolutely nothing to do with that family anymore. They are fucking insane and the way his parents did Mizzou during Michael's injury really rubbed me the wrong way. [Reply]

He’s not. He’s following Romar to Loyola.
Between Jontay getting banned for life for being an idiot and Coban going to jail for six years for being a drunken idiot and killing someone with his car, he’s going somewhere with less spotlight where he isn’t as well known.
Their mom fucked those kids up pretty. Bunch of naive kids who don’t know how to function as adults. [Reply]

She sounds like a pretty vile person to be honest. [Reply]

She raised a bunch of sheltered, naive, undereducated weirdos.
Oh, don't worry, Father Tolton straightened them out... [Reply]
