Per Stoerner Fumbles who is legit with info:

Pitino tampering is a real thing. Awaka staying/going isn’t just about St. John’s either. He wasn’t being compensated fairly compared to others, and wants a larger role. We’ve tried very hard to address his concerns, and the team is leaning on him to stay, but it’s tenuous.

Not arguing that. About Barnes dislike for NIL and not playing the game. Awaka is a pretty important piece and would be in the rotation, but we may not pay to keep him.

I don’t see how that relates to Barnes not liking NIl? You realize the coaches have no control over the collective right? Now the collective might talk to the coaches and get their input allegedly but the budget is set and NIL is a two way street.

Meaning they might feel he is worth more but Barnes might want to go a different route and pursue other center options in the portal or vice versa where they agree with Tobe and pay to keep him here, but since this is all rumor and nothing official at this point this conversation and narrative is ridiculous because whether or not Barnes doesn’t like NIL it’s still happening with our collective in that they are paying basketball players as we speak and it will continue.

This isn't a shot at Barnes but coaches in general. I'll admit I don't have specific evidence, but I think there's no way coaches don't have more of a hand in NIL distribution than they're supposed to.

What do think about timing of the WBB coach announcement. If you can get it done, do you try and get it announced before the FF and possibly get some publicity or possibly an interview in with the final four crew? Do you wait till after the FF? I believe If you are to score a big name and can get it in before the FF, then you try to do it. If not a big fish, then you wait till after the FF because it probably won’t creat much of a buzz either way. I would avoid during the FF for respect for those teams, but that’s just me.

It will be out when there's a deal. They have to ramp it up in the portal. Visits have been put on hold, and there's a lot of uncertainty with players and recruits.

Awaka had 1 total turnover in the 4 tournament games

Yet, he fumble many passes and stalled the offense. You are right. I did not look at TO numbers, but it cost us at least one jump ball, one turnover and stalled our offense. Mississippi State forced Awaka into two turnovers in 9 minutes. I am probably thinking more of that game. Other teams will start doubling him. Both he and Aidoo need to work on their handles.

Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers integrity in question after battle over first home run ball

The Dodgers pressured fans into giving up Shohei Ohtani's first home run ball. Ohtani himself never met the fans, despite suggesting otherwise.

Resident dodger fans, does this ruin Ohtani’s integrity on his gambling deniability?

Not at all…. the reporter has already started back tracking his story…. It was all started bc someone whose twitter handle is sugartitts found out after the game that the baseball had been valued at 100.000 dollars… She felt screwed bc of what she accepted in return for the ball.

I hope we never sink to that level...I want to win, but I want teams of guys and coaches that I'm happy to pull for.

Didn't figure you for a guy that would be ok with covering up for and sheltering an accomplice to murder...that whole thing was sickening.

"He never touched the gun"...yeah because he handed it in a hat...what a load of slimy disgusting 🦬💩.

It was a general statement…. I wouldn’t rule him out over an issue that none of us truly know what went down… I trust DW to Vet each and every candidate…. He knows Oates better than anyone bc he hired him. He saw first hand what kind of culture and locker room that he cultivates.

We have been mislead by the media so many times that i don’t know why anyone trusts them. I trust DW to make decisions based on actual facts… Look at what was done to AJ or even more egregious the Buffalo punter…Punt God wasn’t even there.

Even your own statement above was filled with false info. Miles handed him the gun in the hat…. Not miller.

Are you referring to something like the phenomenon of time slowing as an object approaches a black hole?

Or are you saying time moves at different rates here on Earth?
Click to expand...
Yes, and other theoretical phenomenon.

What we perceive here on earth isn't even a spec of dust on the universal scale.

Time seems to completely depend on the observers frame of reference.
