A player can’t enter anymore

Then why are we freaking out about a certain player entering? Isn’t it too late

We are?

Don't think this is true. He signed a letter of intent. Requires portaling to

BYU's is still open for a week or so, because players get a 30 day extension

cwilke1

Got it. Well that answers my question.

Chefcurry

I believe a player can leave, they can unofficially visit campuses... but they can't be "recruited"...

Coug

Can't enter but those in can still pick a school.

Not surprised. He's a physical force.

Our lack of above-the-rim players was a huge detriment to our ceiling last season.

Do you believe the Vegas to LA train will actually get built this time?

I think they've already started some of the work haven't they?

yorksama

It's a private corp that already built a Miami to Orlando line.

DubuMfalme

12:26pm

It’s a good bet compared to most in Vegas

bruincoug

12:19pm

Definitely not by 2028

JuicyJam

12:23pm

If it’s finished, 100% will not be on time or under budget

bruincoug

12:23pm

The company's Miami to Orlando route came in under budget.

DubuMfalme

12:57pm

I hope it does, the traffic from LA to Vegas and back is a nightmare...

Atmospheric_Cougar

12:25pm

Yeah, I used to live in LA. Taking a train would have been so much better than driving

Clark Addison

12:25pm

Exactly, and add 110 degree heat, cars over heating etc. It was hell.

Atmospheric_Cougar

12:28pm

Sure, but for $150 billion, and only from Baker to Barstow.

Kaanapali

12:26pm

If they would somehow associate with a woke cause, CA would have it done already

mudpupper

12:26pm

Fewer cars, less pollution should get their attention.

RC Vikings

12:27pm

It will be overbudget, a complete mess, overpriced, and eventually underused. US should learn from Japan

spugeddy24

12:28pm

Why? The company has already built a Miami to Orlando line.

DubuMfalme

12:33pm

I hope they succeed. I just think it’ll be a huge mess and won’t be as effective as needed.

Here's a guy reviewing their Miami to Orlando service.

DubuMfalme

Fingers crossed.

12:44pm

Yes, it looks like a *better* bet than their FL line, and easier logistically.

I guess the in-season tournament championship couldn't save Darvin Ham's job.

He was really bad

Darvin Ham was bad? I thought his schemes vs the Nuggets were excellent.

Huge Manatee

I think that is true but Ham was horrible with rotations. It’s been a problem

It’s almost like that silly, gimmicky tournament isn’t actually very meaningful.

I mean it brought the Lakers a banner.

Any coach of a lebron team that doesn't win a title must be horrible.

icecougar

12:53pm

Our fanbase's Anti-Pope contingent needed to find someone to pin the continued virtues & successes of our staff onto.

SinkingQuffa

12:13pm

CB is a powerful influence then because it seems to be spreading...

icecougar

12:55pm

Could all be made up from "sources on CB" but what I assumed is that Burgess has good relationships with local coaches,

Preppy

12:23pm

You’re understating Burgess’s recruiting chops

puntersarepeople

Recruiting for Kentucky and BYU are not level playing fields.

mokelembembe All-American

Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.

Sea Chicken

Here some great alternatives. We hit up Silver Dollar City all the time.

WDaddy

Doesn't even seem to be limited to Southern California residents.

paulb

Yeah, doesn't seem like a great sign for the economy. Disneyland is notoriously rammed during the summers

This for the Subway.

For the Narrows just make sure you have some good water shoes with ankle support

NarfUte

Tiny children do it all the time

JimmyZ

12:11pm

I don't think the Narrows requires any climbing/repelling at all.

Loved Orderville Canyon. We camped out in the cow pasture the night before

squidmark

It's my favorite - especially for people worried about repelling skills.

One tip for the Narrows in particular -

The 4 who vote "No" for Hutchins are probably BYU-I type of fans

SJS

I could see it being a cost thing, especially with kids. They probably wouldn't go to Hutchins on their own anyway

Easy sell at that price
