@PeteThamel
this sounds like sour grapes. Next time ask
@therealboeheim
how many teams he bought before NIL was legal. Don’t throw stones in a glass house. Remember you’ve been coaching a lot of years and a lot of us know who got paid!!!!
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim opens up to ESPN on how he'll "probably" return to coach the Orange next season, his autonomy over his retirement decision and the "awful place" that college basketball is in right now.
I’m very gracious and appreciative of the warm welcome that I received from my old stomping grounds. It was good to see old fans, friends and family the last 2 days. The program is in great hands with

I know I will catch flack for this. I’d rather hear this come from someone who does not already have exclusive advantages in recruiting. Their resident spot with ESPN programming and advertising and relationship with USA basketball is not something that is fair across the board.
This brought tears to my eyes because we spoke this into existence. I love you Zero and on behalf of Rutgers nation and myself, we will always love you my boy.
@Pitt_MBB
I’m honored and humbled. I’m thankful for all of those who played a part in my success. I feel lucky to have been a part of some special teams as a player and a coach. I’m grateful for my entire Pitt family and the city of Pittsburgh for giving me a second home. H2P!!
I asked a Big Ten official about Rutgers drawing a disadvantage (twice, now) as the home team in Super Saturday at MSG -- and the future of this event.
“It’s not like we’re trying to find a home game on Rutgers’ schedule and take it away.”
Here’s more:
Cant thank you enough. I appreciate everything you’ve done these last four years. My leader of the Dream Team (scout team) was instrumental in always getting us prepared. You are the most unselfish person I’ve ever been around. My heart hurts for you. Love you boy.
I’m so proud of my babygirl Kylah. After finishing HS in 3 years, she decided to stay home and attend RU this fall. Once I stopped recruiting her, I swear it became easier for her to say yes. Thx

I’d rather see more AAU games... It has done wonders for many kids and coaches. We had 6 total days to evaluate AAU events this year. It’s unfair that all of student athletes don’t get the same opportunities to be evaluated. People forgot that AAU at least provided that.
I woke up this morning to my Tidal randomly playing Jay-Z “This Can’t be Life”. Fitting.... can’t believe this bad dream hasn’t ended yet. We spoke about 3/15/20 all year. The reward of a long grinding summer, fall and winter was supposed to be a tournament bid. SMH.
@akwasi_yeboah15
and
@shaq_carter18
will be missed dearly. I’m thankful for all of their contributions to this team. They were selfless at moments when they couldve been selfish. I feel blessed to have coached them. I really wish they could’ve experienced the Big dance! 👎🏾😡
I would like to personally
@RLarShove
and her staff for all of their hard work and dedication to our players. Our team success in the classroom was amazing. 11 players had a 3.0 or better and 6 over a 3.5. That’s something to celebrate as much as any win. Can’t thank you enough!!
One cannot separate mental health issues with the rest of their life. The two go hand in hand. I thought two of my friends were the happiest people I’d ever known. Both committed suicide unexpectedly. No one ever assumed or knew that they were dealing with mental health issues.
@RutgersMBB
I appreciate the birthday wishes from ALL of my FAMILY today! The love I’ve received from my familty, friends, fans, former teammates, players, coaches and colleagues has been 2nd to none. I’m lucky to be blessed with all of these genuine relationships. Thank you!!❤️
I think
@RealSkipBayless
comments about Dak Prescott are reflective of the “shut up and play” mentality that permeates our society. I’d love to see Skip call Dak weak to his face. This was the same guy crying over Jalen Rose’s comments about his b-ball career... SHUTUP Skip!!!
@RutgersMBB
I’m very proud to be a part of this institution and this team. I’ve been very fortunate to work with some great people everyday, since coming here in 2016. I’m blessed to call RU my home and my family and I’m thankful for all of the support.
It’s been a crazy September! Grateful to have so many amazing people in my corner. Ready to take on this next challenge so I can fully focus on the season ahead

It’ll be hard not seeing Coach Boylan on the bus again or talking with him after a team meal. Those were MY most memorable moments with him. He was thoughtful, kind, wise, smart and one of the greatest storytellers ever. He was a special human. He will be greatly missed!!!
6’6 (Ronald) , 6’6 (Caleb) and 6’9 (Shaq) vs. the 6’0 Handicapped gym teacher (that is ME).... let’s just say I know my strengths and how to rebound UNDER the big guys. I got that one too. One for the 6’0 and under crew.

I cannot describe the emotions that went thru me listening to this post. This video has brought me to tears a couple of times. It’s something I will cherish for the rest of my life. This is the reason I coach… I love all of you and I’m so grateful for all of you!!!

Please watch this RECENT depiction of what it’s like to be black in America. Look at the number of children, girls and defenseless blacks assaulted. We were once considered less than human & 60% of a man. What’s changed? America is all I got. I want your ❤️ too!!! 🙏🏾✊🏾🤜🏾🤛🏻✊🏻
I’m thankful that you’ve always made education his priority. Keep inspiring more kids and parents to be that way.
@MylestheMonster
is special in so many ways outside of basketball and you guys are a special family.
If you’re going to use me as an example i would at least do research… I probably did over 20 deals and personally believe i provided ROI to the ones who gave me those deals. Both your individual and overall broad takes on NIL are off imo.
The city of Toledo (Spain) was a lot of fun. Zip lining, sightseeing and learning about their history was very insightful. It’s great to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about others.

This is exactly what I was talking about with you yesterday. You’re doing this for clicks. It’s weird to film people while you hide in crowds. You’ve done this at tailgates for football games. It’s pretty weird.
NOW at 8!!! My 10 yr old son understands it. I’m trying to teach him to think before reacting, weigh consequences of his actions and try to think for those who may fear him because of the color of his skin. That’s a lot for a 10 yr old to process but it’s a necessary convo!!!
How is this ok? These are the actions of a murderer not law enforcement. Handcuffed with a knee to the back of your throat. They should charge the other officer too as an accomplice.
A video shared online shows a white officer kneeling on a black men's neck in Minneapolis during his arrest. The man, who pleaded that he couldn't breathe, died.
It was a special trip with special people. There were a lot of memorable moments and fun times. Big shout out to Tom Stephens (our Faculty Athletics Representative) and our tour guides for all of our history lessons. I agree with Jacob Young. We learned a lot about each other.
Congratulations to

@patrickmccaff22
is doing well. I didn’t want to see him drilling shots on us but as a father I’m happy to see him enjoying the game he loves again. The ovation by Iowa fans was very heartwarming.
This new agent certification process is disturbing to me. You’re only legit if you go to college? Oops.. The number of crooked agents with college degrees is laughable. The agent process is a PRO thing... Amateur sports shouldn’t be regulating a pro I ndustry.
I hope young players don’t emulate this new style of NBA playoff defense.... it’s where you stand on the side of the offensive player and let them keep driving by you.

They should arrest her for her police report. These are hate crimes. If the police showed up and responded to these false claims, the trajectory of someone’s life could’ve changed drastically. I just hope it’s hers. Tip of the hat to Franklin Templeton for swiftly removing her.

buddy. As a true competitor how do you let someone win? My son is 10 and I don’t LET him win anything. The day he beats me he would’ve earned it. I’d never help a rival celebrate a 🏆 on my field!!!!
Life after basketball is way more important!!! Their academics will be foundation of that. Proud of the

Ramapo HS is a talented and extremely well coached group who we were fortunate to beat yesterday 51-50. They did a great job using the rules in NJ. That said our MAPL league has had a shot clock and 36 minute games for almost a decade now. When is the NJSIAA going to catch up?
@MarcusRediker
is absolutely correct. Along with Troy Weaver, he was the main person that influenced my decision to attend Pitt… I appreciate all of the ways you have positively impacted my life…. Thank you Marcus.

Can y’all continue to spread this. This is my cousin Kevin Penn. the cops literally broke his jaw and shoulder when all he did was call them because this white dude was trying to rob his liquor store. They let the robber walk right pass them and immediately attacked my cousin.

@briannnnf
His article covered that. But videotaping individuals without them knowing and without any context is creepy. Also hiding behind trees or in the bushes to take videos of minors, is usually considered to be weird. That’s all I’m saying.

I’m all for criticizing the new recruiting calendar ...once it actually plays out. So far, not much to complain about. Most coached like idea of June high school events and this week was good with Peach Jam and plenty within driving distance. How about we evaluate at end of July?

This is coming from someone who was never a real basketball player... Congratulate Kawhi and move on before I ask Jalen Rose to talk about your playing career again.
@NFL
how is this ok? I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve a job ever. He just doesn’t deserve this one. The majority of the people he’s working with are going to be the people he has offended the most. How can hiring him be a good idea for urban Meyer or the organization? Explain
A statement from Rod Graves, the executive director of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, which is calling the hiring of Chris Doyle in Jacksonville as “simply unacceptable.”
@espn
Melo definitely HAD the BEST FRESHMAN YEAR OUT OF THAT GROUP. AD had a squad and experienced upperclassmen. If you put KD in the convo, where is Mike Beasley... Rose didn’t win the chip and Zion had 2 other top 10 picks with him. Wall, Cousins and Bledsoe got ousted by WVU
