Mark Pope at the airport when Mo Williams just tells him to sit still and not touch anything while he goes and handles Stokes recruitment himself

Lock em down Mo!

Another undefeated year vs UK incoming

I shared some thoughts tonight on the KSBoard about the current online community, specifically around the transfer portal. Someone could probably speak on this better than I can, and it's probably worth an entire book on its own, but I wanted to share some of what I'm thinking on here. This is the most tense I've ever seen the online community during the transfer portal. I think that's due to a lot of factors, not limited to, a smaller sphere of information relay, more burner accounts that can put out information without fear of personal backlash, and a driver for quick intel that can result in a clouding of the bigger picture information. The last few years of the portal created such a high amount of revenue for media companies, but also burner accounts and those taking advantage of Discord chats and X monetization, that it created expectations on newbreakers to break more news when there's the same amount of news as in years past. It feels a lot like the pot calling the kettle black, saying this, especially given that a lot of the news I break sometimes others don't want me to put out, but I really wonder how sustainable it is to have the expectation for so much information at all times, and to have that expectation continually increased.
