Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
This is a guy who couldn't get off the bench for Utah State for 3 years, transferred to Longwwod and played 16 minutes per game. I guess we just need a big body, but he does nothing for me. That's the best we can do? Yes Billy didn’t do much at Utah State. He would be more of a depth piece for us. ...

Re: Red Sox and other Major League Baseball
The Leagues need to pull in MLB next year, but, as of now, it's possible we could have Knicks/Celtics at the same time as B's/Rangers. That would be a cool week or two if they aligned the timing right...A playoff game at one of the Gardens every night

If Archie doesn’t land a big man, it’s going to make his handling of Foumena look even worse. You knew Foumena was going to hit the portal because Archie didn’t give him much playing time.
