Found 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.
100% and point made. The only thing an agent looks thru is $$$$

We can all agree that degree wise Bama worked out well for him.

However there is great irony in the fact that Basketball wise FU was MUCH MUCH better for Noah. I am glad he left, it allowed Slawson and Bothwell to shine that much brighter and they will get their jersey's retired for it and be remembered as all time FU hoops greats!

Look, I just thought it was cool that some random agent from MA actually seemed familiar with Furman players. And the guy mentioned that he was in the Peach Jam in ‘04 so was a top 300 player at one time and probably knows basketball pretty good. Whatever. Just thought it was interesting.

Nice stats for Both in cleanup duty!

Pretty hard to not hang with yourself! 🤣🤣(I know what you meant) I’m sure JS and MB will hangout with each other whenever they can since they are best friends and former teammates/roommates.

Kings play again Tuesday night at 10.

Yep, game is on ESPN2.
It's been fun watching Slawson, would love to see him find his 3 point shot. Unfortunately his teammates don't really find him open for the 3 ball, most of them play selfish basketball, so when he is getting a 3 up its been more forced shots so far..................
