Yes. He just won a national title with guys from Iona, Belmont, and FAU.
How must FAU fans feel watching 3 players from their Final 4 team(and their coach) all go to Sweet 16 (or further in Martins case) with 3 different teams? Gotta sting a little. .

I saw that and checked on Clayton as it was so surprising. As I understand it, its a bit misleading because Clayton was being recruited a lot more for football than basketball. He wanted to play basketball, but the only offers he was getting was from smaller schools, whereas he had some interest from solid football teams.

To say he was undervalued or underevaluated on the front end I think is correct. To say he had absolutely zero respect (or zero stars) is not really accurate.

If you asked the most rabid FAU fan if he/she expected to see the Owls make a Final Four in their lifetime, good chance they’d say no.

Im quite sure of that, but I would also think the expectations would be high, keeping most of that roster in place for a couple of years. I’m sure they probably didn’t care that much, but it seems three core players go onto other schools has to have them thinking of what could’ve been.
 
Like I said, win them a championship and Gator fans will defend you even if you slept with their wife or murdered someone they care about.
They so bad they probably pimp/c*ck their wife out so she could smoodge her way into getting one of the players' rings, and then when she wears it home they take it from her and post pics of them wearing it on Twitter.
 
The only good thing about how this tournament ended is that I get to laugh at the Duke fans whining.

Seeing them act like some Cinderella denied history is so hilarious. Like do they really expect anyone to sympathize with them? Lol
 
Ha! Nah, was that anti sunshine? I’m not sure. I just wanted to give you a little crap. You were more bullish that most on Houston though so kudos to you.
Nah, I didn’t say that.
I said that they weren't a Championship team, which in retrospect I was right.
I did eat my crow already for saying they wouldn't beat Dook, tho ( albiet it took an epic choke of a lifetime by Dook for Houston to beat them).

I'm still waiting for VolCalls to join me and have him a nice piece of crow pie to go with this little hot take:

I've been saying since early March that Houston will win it. They are tougher than Florida and Sampson will coach circles around Golden.
Not only did Florida end up out Houston'ing Houston, but despite being a little creepy turd, Golden ended up getting the better of Sampson in the coaching department.

We’re all wrong in our predictions at times. I’d venture to guess most are wrong more than they’re right. It’s no big deal. It’s funny, I have seen some on VN that refuse to admit to being wrong.

The only non Duke fan sad that they didn’t win it all is that Huffhines goofball on here lol.

Yeah, we can't be right all the time but I'd disagree about being more wrong than right. I'd say most of us that watch a lot of basketball get it right a lot more than we get it wrong.

That’s not what I see, unless you’re always making very safe predictions. I think people remember the ones they get right more than the ones they don’t. Human nature.

Yep. Very disappointing. They were in control of the game and choked.
