with apologies to all you FU lawyers, the only thing worst would be to take stock of a lawyers opinion on the likelihood of athletic success.Furmanoid wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 12:42 pmFound myself watching Summer League with an agent yesterday at the pub. He was in town for the Peach Jam.
He’s pretty familiar with Furman. We are respected.
He expects Slawson to make a lot of money in Europe- not the NBA. Very long shot.
Thought Gurley made a huge mistake.
I noted that I saw about 100 coaches at the PJ and no FU guys. He said Furman can’t hardly recruit that level. The Adidas league is more our speed.
EYBL has 25 teams of about 10 kids. So in this guy’s opinion the top 250 are probably out of reach for us.
It was an interesting conversation.
Peach jam was sort of interesting. Like I said at least a hundred coaches representing probably 75 teams or so. Lots of Mid majors, Big 10 well represented, almost the entire PAC 12. Less SEC and ACC than usual. Heard a coach talking to his boss about whether some school was going to outbid for some kid. Thought that was as interesting.
Lebron was here for a few days watching his kid, but I didn’t run into him.
Just goes to show what that guy knows about Noah. How could he have made a mistake? How many times does the following need to be said. Noah graduated Furman. Furman didn’t have the graduate degree he was looking for. He left and went to a school that had that graduate degree. He loved Bama and the players and fans loved him. He was where God placed him. No mistake made.Furmanoid wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 12:42 pmFound myself watching Summer League with an agent yesterday at the pub. He was in town for the Peach Jam.
