Fitting Sequence

Dual, Aligbe and Felton played very well. Gus brought the energy.

Coleman obviously cost them the game. You couldnt play worse if you tried. 0-10 shooting, poor ft%, missed defensive assignments, and multiple turnovers. Yet he almost won the game with the half court heave. SMH.
Gus does more than bring energy, kid is in the right spots on the court understands the game with awesome screens and movement without the ball. He kept their big man in check and drove him nuts.

Prince Aligbe

Seems to me that we play our best ball with Prince, Gus, Scotty, Felton are on the floor together. Ball is moving, screens, defense, high energy group. We keep Coleman and these guys together and we will win games. Gus needed to be on the floor end of last nights game. Kid knows how to move on the floor. He’s clearly the straw that stirs the drink on offense. I bet we upset some people in February, March.

Fed Jobs under Trump

Trump has rescinded all jobs to law school graduates to join the DOJ. He also is now offering early buyout to 2 million federal workers.

First, rescinding jobs from law school graduates in joining DOJ is awful. These graduates are now out of a job and behind the hiring process of getting a new job at this late juncture. This program recruits top qualified law school grads. This would be a huge loss to prosecutions. What would be the reason for this? I will assume to fill these positions with Trump loyalists. Not the best qualified just Trump yes people.

How can someone evaluate that we need a reduction of a federal workforce of over 2 million people. What analysis was done? This amount of reduction will only result in a quagmire of getting things done at the federal level. This disruption is dangerous to the American people.

Drones

A very weak explanation from the president. Who was operating them? What were they "researching?" What were the "various other reasons?"

Smells like BS.
it was not strong - was not expecting more but hoped for more. It’s maybe (not def) BS - if it is it’s national security he’s not going to divulge that info for several reasons, like Biden.

Obviously we’re not going to get details on FAA or other government approved “research” unless it’s something extremely benign. “Other reasons” if government driven, won’t find out.

Curious what if anything Trump learned that Biden didn’t.

….they are supposedly releasing info on JFK and MLK-I highly doubt there’s anything of surprise there and whatever it is it’s been scrubbed. Not to change subject

Some things above our pay grade ….

I do hope our government re-evaluates drone regs to see if things should be handled differently

Anyone got $10M laying around?

If I cleared $300m after taxes, I legitimately and absolutely would commit $30m.

$5m up front and the remaining $25m would be parked in an interest earning vehicle. They could use the interest each year.

One would think that would be enough to get them competitive, they can put in a little work to find the rest they need.
Please start buying more tickets!!!! Thank you.

We should have a GM. Would be more valuable than a 4th Assistant Coach and take a massive load off of Sha's plate.

1- Scouting potential portal targets year-round that fit our coach and budget, not wasting time on guys we cant afford.

2- Scouting and working contacts in Europe and Africa to find players.

3- Negotiating payments and making offers to agents.

4- Building a team within our budget

5- Re-recruiting our own players during the season.

6- Learning the marketplace, what other teams are doing, going rates for players

7- Handling media and fan communication and improving SH's public perception.

8- Primary communicator for Onward Setonia to fanbase. Building fan relationships through honest dialogue

9- Visiting with & developing large donors

10- Working with McBride and Felt on raising revenue through scheduling.
I can’t “like” this enough

Per Carino, it sounds like Andrew Francis' role on our staff will be as de facto GM.
Just listened to his podcast. Says Pikeill needs a GM. He does. Then says Francis will be relied upon to find players in the Portal and perform some tasks of a GM. I hope he's right. But other than scouting/recruiting, I don't know if Francis has the background and skills to do all of the other tasks I listed.

He has not had any success recruiting in the NIL era. His last 5 years he's had 5 straight losing seasons (52-115 overall) at FGCU and Cal. Sounds like he has some contacts and is an old-school relationship kind of guy. Hopefully he'll help us but I still believe we need a GM.
