@Kulambq How'd you find the letters? I thought the Ammons the best, then Ashbery, then Merrill too esoteric (my least favorite part of Bloom is the gnosticism), the others uneventful. Too much sycophantry in general. I imagine those letters with fellows critics have more juice.
@snapjudge "Certain" academics. There is a long list of great academics who were devoted to Bloom, wowed by Bloom, entered into productive dialogue with him, etc. Those who wince we could call the puerile academics.
@Alex_Drain What will it take for WBB to move into that upper tier with UCLA, etc. Simply growth from the sophs? Missing pieces like better front court/depth? Or something else? Similarly, what can we expect from adding that big (in both senses) recruit year?
A simple message with big meaning: "I am somebody." We are grateful to Rev. Jesse Jackson for helping teach generations of children to believe in themselves and in one another. Thank you for being part of our neighborhood. 💛💚
@Alex_Drain Why is Fleck unserious? Longer track record than Dillingham, no crazy success at Minny, but maybe that is circumstantial rather than his coaching ability?
@WoodsFootball He built Arizona from 1 win to 10 wins in two years. Took an entirely depleted UW team and made significant strides in two years. That's a record of upward momentum at different stops, different personnel, etc
