A strange year is probably the best we can hope for. The elephant 🐘 in the room, given the spike of covid cases in some parts of the country, is the possibility there will be no 2020 college football season. There’s not only the question of fans vs no fans, but the other obvious concern of the safety of players and staff

I seem to recall that we took Florida to the last minute on national tv last year.

A number of more prominent basketball programs than ours offered this guy, so they must have seen something in him. Will he be the 2nd coming of MJ? No, of course not. Might he be a positive contributor next season? That possibility certainly exists. I swear 2012, sometimes I think that if you saw a guy walking on water, you’d say, “see, I told you he couldn’t swim.” 😆

Is there a deadline for entering the portal? One would think Darling would already know whether or not he’s entering the portal. For instance, he’s known for weeks that Mutts was departing, to the extent that weighs on his decision. Unless, he’s waiting until he makes a final decision about officially declaring for the NBA. I can’t see him being drafted, but I can see him making big $ in Europe, if he wants to go that route

There is somewhat of an ironic twist to Gueye coming here. One of the schools that coveted him was New Mexico, where our old friend Zane Martin transferred to. There’s a thread on a Lobo message board titled “Mahktar Gueye to Towson????,” as if they had some entitlement to him which we had the audacity to usurp

I’m not predicting we win the conference if they’re both eligible, but if both Holland & Gueye play this fall, things could be very interesting. Let’s see if 1 or both get a waiver. To be continued

I’m going to look at the glass as being half full, for the present. I need some cause for optimism, given current events. Also, it’s hard not to have a modicum of hope, in light of the caliber of the other schools that either offered, or at least showed interest in, this guy

Hope this guy is right about this being a major get

You want G’s? If Holland gets a waiver we’ve got him (double digit scorer last season); Allen (grad transfer who avg 9ppg last season); Gibson, Timberlake and Jones (the uber athletic freshman from Oak Hill). That’s not a bad quintet. I’ll be the 1st to say there are a ton of unanswered questions about this team. I don’t look at things through TU colored glasses, but this team has the potential to be at or near the top of the CAA, IF Holland & Gueye both get waivers to play this fall. Throw in Allen, Gibson, Timberlake (hopefully he steps his game up some), Mims (an unknown commodity, I concede), Jones (also an unknown commodity), Gray, Thompson, Victor U (also an unknown commodity, but maybe he’ll be a force on D) & his brother Solomon & I don’t see anything wrong with having guarded optimism

Not to mention Boston College & NC State, amongst others

If Duke reached out to him, that’s good enough for me

He’s a winner. 3 conference championships

May he take Darling with him 🙏

I know you’re being sarcastic, but my reservoir of patience has run dry

I wholeheartedly agree with you about Elon (and probably JMU). Elon is definitely on the come. Only good thing is that there coach will use them as a lily pad the second a bigger program comes calling. UNCW is a sleeping giant. They’ve got a strong fan base, & a history of success. DE is stacked next year, if Darling returns. Hofstra, C of C & NE are always near the top of the conference. W&M, I don’t know. If they couldn’t make the dance with Knight & the tall kid with the Dutch name... Who’s that leave, us & Drexel
