I'm a Generation X'er, if my coaches yelled at today's kids like they yelled at me, I think they'd be put in jail for child abuse these days.
The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

Saw this quote from Austin in the most recent article from the Eagle "...I felt like I needed to move on to pursue my dream"
This, along with the fact that he visited OU tells me that he watched what OU did with Young last year and he envisions himself as filling that role to make it to the NBA. And, he knows that role was not a fit in GM system.

UNI board seems to think they have a good shot at Austin. If his intent is on expanding his role, that would be a great choice. I could see him being a 1st team MVC player his junior & senior seasons after a year of strength work. The other schools on his list would likely results in a similar role that he would've played here had he stayed. The one possible exception being Michigan. He could have real value in their system.

The thought of Austin in an NIU uniform is vomit inducing. It's cold and you're teammates look like they were in Children of the Corn. I swear Bohannen was the real life Malachai. He would be a stud there though.

Reaves could be a much better defender in the MVC than in the AAC. He can DEFINITELY get to the rim and finish in the Valley. I think he'd tear that league up.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

If you go back far enough you can read about how Abe Lincoln took care of his sister in the wilderness for 6 months at the age of 9. Things have changed for the better, but that doesn’t make these claims of being soft untrue.
This post has nothing to do with Austin.
He never "took care of a sister in the wilderness for 6 months", fending off rabid bears with his fists or whatnot. I'm pretty sure he couldn't mow down scores of terrorists with an AK-47 in one hand while using the other to bludgeon Greenpeace activists with a bo staff. But he was more of a real man than most of us will ever be.
I don't want to get into a generational war here. But I will say this. A couple of generations--but one in particular--has been going on a crusade here lately to vilify Millenials or whoever doesn't meet their ever-increasingly narrow and distorted definition of "tough". And they have an ever-increasingly short memory of their own generation's failings.
So before we criticize something or someone that we don't actually understand, let's look in the mirror for awhile and ask ourselves not only if what we're saying is true, let's ask ourselves if whatever generation we belong to was really as "tough" as we think it was. If we're honest with ourselves, we'll find the answers to both questions a resounding NO."It's amazing to watch Ron slide into that open area, Fred will find him and it's straight cash homie."--HCGM

“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”
