After some hemming and hawing -- yeah, BlueSky is the superior option. Hoping many of you move over there ASAP. That'll be my primary outlet moving forward. https://t.co/Nd4cw0R7us

A good time to bump this, as there's been another flood of folks joining Bluesky over the last few days. Can't imagine why...
High school coverage has started flowing on @hooplove215. If you're missing it, it's because you're not following us in the right place: https://t.co/QERUFjQtp4 More coverage -- live and on the website -- coming today, tomorrow, and onwards...

And if you're wondering why, the easiest reason is that Twitter has been throttling links. People weren't seeing/clicking on our stories anymore. When we left Twitter, we saw zero drop in hits on the site. People are still reading CoBL's content. Just not from here.

I see there are some new folks who just started following me -- just a reminder, I'm not using this account much (at all) anymore except to point people to Bluesky. Alrieady up over 1,000 followers there, you can find all my game coverage/CoBL links. It's a great site, too!

Already at 1,000 followers in two weeks. More and more Philly basketball folks on Bluesky every day. Don't miss out on all of CoBL's coverage!
