Ed Ratlef, George Trap, Leonard Gray and many more. Those days are gone and do not seem to be able to return in the near future.
College basketball is now more of a triple A farm team for the majors than a University team where players come in to play for 4 years to get a free education and an opportunity to advance to the NBA.
Players now a days choose a school for NIL $$, starting ability, playing time, exposure and strong competition. They will jump out given better opportunities or $$ anywhere anytime.
School spirit is now a ghost. I can't be enthusiastic about a A, AA or AAA LB basketball team that could feed the G league or some oversea team.
The local power conference teams, USC and UCLA are now AAA teams for the area, LB is at best AA. I have little interest to become canon fodder to the $$ teams. I'm out. I will continue to watch our teams on TV and cheer but the passion is off for now.
I will continue to visit this board and cheer for LB.
