    The tea leave readers want to know: does "easy" mean lets not get ahead of ourselves in dreaming of the nearly impossible or everybody better take a deep breath as things are going to get exciting very soon? I assume the former, but I wish the latter.
    Listen, I'm all in for having as much fun as a person can have, but when the discussion begins to tilt towards comparisons to the Miami Heat for goodness sakes, something had to be said.

    Now, carry on.

      Trop, Can you share yet if we are in any of these rumors? Just curious.

        • One that is probably true is him meeting with Roy Williams on Friday.

          • With the money AW is going to have as soon as the basketball season is over, he can certainly afford to pay his own way for one year. We got a spot for him.

            Then the talking heads can go on and on about how WSU is starting a walk on and a former walk on.

            • While I'd like to believe it (okay, I'd rather believe his two were Wichita State and Florida State), I don't buy it. I don't think that kid is talking to anyone about this outside of family, and I don't think his family is talking.

              I think people around him want to feel important by talking to the media. But I don't think they know a thing.

                No college team, no matter how good, would be competitive in the NBA, let alone be worthy of being compared to this years' Miami Heat.
                i would challenge that. My rebuttal? UK next year.

                but anyways, i wasnt saying we would be as good as the heat, but comparable to the level. Heat:NBA/Shockers:NCAA.

                If Marshall shats lightning bolts out his arse and Andrew comes here, I wonder where we rank in the Top 25

                        • Sully on Sports Daily today pretty much claimed Nick retracted the perceived meaning of the tweet about Andrew SHOCKING the world to him in a conversation.

                              All week it has been pretty clear that the rumor about him considering coming here doesn't have legs.

                              But the possibility hurts that AW going to see his brother in the final four might have helped Louisville a little in terms of getting into the mix (granted winning a national championship might have had something to do with it too). I actually like U of L better than his other choices, but it feels kind of like introducing someone you are interested in to one of your friends and having him ask her out.

                                As national champs, I'm guessing that Andrew was going to take notice of them with or without WSU having played them. Outside of Andrew surprising everyone and coming here, I'd still put Florida State as the place I'd like to see him most because I like spreading the talent wealth and valuing family history, but Louisville would be the second place I'd like to see him go, if for no other reason than to annoy UK fans to no end.
