Problem is that the guys who sign with HBCU’s won’t play any....

decent competition. Not going to develop much playing against the kind of competition they’ll face.
Outstanding!!!

I wish more players would do so.
I like it!

Why? Like a previous poster say he won’t get the same development as if he went to one of the bigger programs.

Like that one year at Kentucky does so much to develop players.

Plus if he gets his team into the tournament, he will play plenty of good teams.

Was anyone criticizing David Robinson for playing at Navy?

Ok great. What does this have to do with this?
Because you and others are criticizing him  
ron mexico : 7/4/2020 9:37 am : link
For not going to the best basketball program possible

I thought it was pretty clear.
I didn’t criticize him.  
Crispino : 7/5/2020 9:15 am : link
I just pointed out that he won’t be tested against top competition. The young man has every right to play wherever he wants and I have no stake in what he does. Just pointing out a potential downside of the decision.

on MLK day this upcoming season. That game just got a lot more interested. Great job by Brey getting this on the schedule.
