I was impressed with the kids at Pangos though a few local kids should have been there who r better than many who were there!! The absence of the 6:6 flat out muthafucker from DP was unfortunate exhibiting how poorly Vegas is covered!

I think BK is over the top and far left of my Dem politics but the war is not over and the Orangeman is in a mess he doesn’t know how to get out! Iran has him by the balls!
Viewing Pangos camp I’m struck how bad many of the national rankings have become laced with favors and I’m told in some instances, “ pay for rankings”!! Do I believe this deceipt runs wild? Not necessarily as the proliferation of sneaker ball has made it impossible to see kids enough to properly evaluate!! But it does exist and nobody is afraid to achnowledge this rot !
Aaron McMorran 11 goes into 26/27 as best offensive player in Vegas based on his production this spring! Knows who he is and has a unique ability to stay out of trouble when pressured! Kid is a flat out bucket getter! 🎩 off!!
This damn save college sports plan pushed by a bunch of white conservative men for the benefit of mostly wealthy institutions refuses to discuss with r include the very group it’s intended to limit imposing non negotiated actions in violation of long time accepted protections!!
Interesting witness list because it captures the full collision happening in college sports right now.
Coaches. University leadership. Conferences. Legal pressure. Private capital. Governance. Media economics.
For years these issues were discussed separately. Now they’re all converging at the same table in front of Congress.
Interesting times.
My 👁️caught the play of a youngster from Auburn, Alabama via Prolific Prep( 2nd group) by name of Preston Echols! 6:6 with great intensity this kid is a dude at a Missouri State r flat out dunk machine at a High Point!! Put him at a regular school with crowds and playing for a title he cd be a national sleeper!!
Wasn’t quite sure I was gonna get through my day at Pangos as things r fine but not quite like they were! I can only share that intense, daily workouts keep me going!! Pursuit of goals can work miracles! That being said I thought talent at Pangos, though bereft of the big names, was promising!! Kids played their ass off and outside of a few characters the ball moved well ! Hats off to the truculent Trigonis for a fine card!!
Watched this kid improve 💯last few months as Rivals has spotted him! Unfortunately few experts on coast don’t even know him!! Kid is Nick Odum and in time he will be one of them dudes!! But because he goes to Lossee up north he will be passed over like so many Vegas kids from the east side!! Sad but true!!
From “ Iceman” driving down pch in my dark blue Porsche 911 top down Cure playing “Friday I’m in Love” no care in the world as the small town kid was living a dream money in the bank a hot business a healthy baby and a future well planned with Venice Beach growing like a weed!! Nothing like my Sunday night rides up to Malibu top down ocean on my left and the cool evening breeze running up against my face!! On my way back to Venice Beach I noticed swelling in my hands my hips aching and my temp rising! Though nothing of it as I had a brutal track workout at UCLA followed by heavy squats and dead lifts at Golds!! As I parked my car I tried get out but my body didn’t work bent over like a 100 yr old man I knew I may be in trouble! But little did I know that in Oct of 1992 my life wd never be the same r as I’d dreamed!! Unfortunately it was the disturbance that led to avid Vodka and blow which at the time was the only remedy that worked!! This is just the beginning as plenty more to come!! My friend Jimmy , an nba scout , said write it down!! I have!!
Any institution getting involved with Private Equity is now bitches to that firm!! They r pros in creating chaos with intelligence!! Utah ad is an utter clown!! Trust me Kirby Smart ain’t getting involved with these criminals!!
@sltrib The (RIF) should 💯 include @MarkHarlan_AD Not only a horrible AD but even a worse person. Hey Mark it’s not to late to apologize to her
DM for her new contract information
Sam Altman and Dario Amodei just got caught running a $2 trillion scam on the entire world.
The timing exposes EVERYTHING:
Four days after OpenAI secretly filed for a $1 trillion IPO, Altman went on stage in Sydney and said he was "delighted to be wrong" about AI destroying jobs.
Amodei reversed his forecast the same week. Anthropic is targeting its own IPO in October at a $900 billion valuation.
Fortune called it coordinated and they're not wrong.
But here's the thing...
This was never a scientific forecast to begin with.
In 2024 and 2025, both CEOs needed two things simultaneously - government attention and private investment. Apocalyptic predictions delivered both.
When you tell senators that AI will eliminate half of all white-collar jobs, you get called to testify. You get taken seriously as a national security issue and get positioned as the responsible adult in the room who understands the danger better than anyone.
And when you tell investors the same story, you create urgency. Urgency drives capital. Capital drives valuation.
Amodei said 50% of white-collar jobs were at risk. Altman said entire job categories would vanish. Both said it repeatedly, in major venues, through all of 2025.
Now they need something different.
OpenAI is losing $1.22 for every $1 it earns. $14 billion in losses this year against $25 billion in revenue. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are preparing the roadshow with the S-1 going public in late August.
You cannot walk into a public market telling investors the technology you built is an existential threat to the economy. That is NOT a story Wall Street buys at a $1 trillion valuation.
That is a story that triggers Senate hearings, regulatory intervention, and class-action lawsuits from every displaced worker in America.
So the story changed.
Altman's exact words in Sydney: "I'm delighted to be wrong. I thought there would have been more impact on entry-level white-collar jobs by now than has actually happened."
Then he added one sentence that every financial journalist should have flagged: "It still may."
So the apocalypse is just "rescheduled" - specifically to after the IPO lockup period expires.
He took the L on timing, kept the vision intact, and protected the roadshow.
And 115,000 tech workers laid off so far in 2026 - with Meta, Amazon, and Snap all citing AI as the driver - are watching the men who predicted their displacement announce they were WRONG about it, four days after filing to go public at a combined $2 trillion valuation.
They sold the world fear to raise money, then switched up at the right time to raise more.
Idoet analysts will tear apart OKC still knowing their 2nd and 3rd best off the bounce dandies have been out!! Available players tonight Spurs r just more gifted!!
@SBJ Unfortunately getting to a fair and judicious settlement regarding player movement and pay strikes may be in near future!! Labor must be heard and only way may be a work stoppage!! Unfortunate but cd be reality!!
What do these people don’t get that anti trust was approved in Congress yrs ago and Cruz , the anti worker guy, says it’s a mistake!! WTF ! Calling rules protecting the proletariat a mistake is anti American!!
So @SethDavisHoops asks @tedcruz about free markets which Cruz of course didn’t answer. He says he loves salary caps like the NBA…he just doesn’t want it to negotiated. Total pretzel logic 🥨
I’m against artificial, unilaterally imposed salary caps, but if that’s what they’re trying to do with this “save college sports,” bill, then it should be for coaches and players alike.
Mark I’m not I for an I guy as coaches should not be limited to bs caps!! Y make matters worse, coaches and all in USA should get what they can get!! Players should get what they can get as well unless a negotiated contract can be litigated where limits r agreed upon!! WTF does Dinos buddy Cruz know about sports r freedom for the black man!
