Subject: jj slams danb for claiming he predicted bball problems

Dan thought Kam and DJ Wilson "saved" the 14 class. So he was happy about that class.

So Dan, when exactly did you start getting upset and start predicting doom? You were upset about the 14 class *until* JB secured a top *25* player and another top 100ish. Then you felt the class had been "saved". So you were apparently good at that point.

So I guess you were predicting doom just as soon as the 14 class (the one that you thought had been "saved") revealed itself to be total shit, the actual 15 team suffered a zillion injuries and sucked, and the 15 class was a bunch of swings and misses.

Wow, fucking congratulations Nostradamus!!

Hell, I'm sky high on Wagner and still think Robinson will be a damn good offensive player, and that 15 class was still a huge disappointment compared to what I thought it would be. If I'm right it'll end up being a top 25 class, but you, me and *lots* of people thought it'd be a killer class. We thought we had a 5 star PG *locked*, a 4-5 star wing - or two (!), a 4* big. We went after big targets and didn't pull any in.

But only you were concerned at that point. Because of your awesome predictive powers.

Jesus Christ.

You were well behind the curve predicting the 13 and 14 success (oh yeah, things happened before 30 seconds ago!), and you weren't ahead of the curve "expressing concern". You thought the 14 class had been saved, and you were as wrong as anyone when it faceplanted.

The 15 class can still end up plenty good, which I think it will, but it's still low on numbers and still worse than what *anyone* expected.

If one or three or five people (name them) gave you shit at *that* point, congrats, you predicted better than those supposed people. But the vast majority of posters were aghast at how shitty Kam was (your - *your* - "savior" of the class) and were pessimistic about a combination of injuries to existing players, an extremely underwhelming performance by the 14 class, and were very worried about the 15 class. Whoever you think didn't feel that, congrats, you bested that one or two imaginary posters

You're so full of revisionist history bullshit. I think what you're really trying to say is that after being embarrassingly wrong about 13 and 14, you deserve credit for being pessimistic going forward. Except you thought the 14 class had been "saved" by Kam, you didn't breathe a word about the ridiculous injuries in 15, and your pessimism about the 15 class was shared by nearly everyone, even those who think Wagner/Robinson can end up being damn good.

Goddamn, everyone on the internet knew everything that ever happened, three seconds before it happened. Why aren't you wealthy from gambling on UM sports the last few years? Oh right, you hate money! You felt what everyone felt in the post F4/E8 run - you were just wrong about those seasons.
