    Baye Declares for NBA; Retaining Eligibility

    I can’t find exactly that info, but if you’re not at the combine, you probably won’t get drafted. There were 23 undrafted players that made NBA teams last year. Fred Van Fleet and Ben Wallace might be the two most famous undrafted players...

    2024 Football Portal

    A lot of people pursue a dream longer than friends would recommend. For some of these athletes, they don’t know anything else EDIT: Also, we’ve had some grad transfers here whose job it was to carry a clipboard and learn to coach—almost graduate assistants with shoulder pads. That could be a...

    Conference Realignment

    It seemed like a no-brainer back then. More often than not fans were talking about full stadiums to watch us match up against Michigan rather than Duke.

    Conference Realignment

    There have been stories about mutual interest between A&M and the B1G, from SI and others, with about the same level of corroboration as some of the other rumors in this thread (not nearly at the level that it used to take to get printed)

    2024 Football Portal

    The portal isn’t the phantom zone—you’re not trapped in it when it “shuts down”. The dates for fall sports are dates an athlete can put their name in the portal. They can exit the portal at any time—assuming they can get admitted and work towards a degree ** ** that’s how it works in 2024. If...

    Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    FYI, Michigan offered a player in the portal, and he committed. The school didn’t admit the player. It’s not just us dealing with this

    Conference Realignment

    The gist I have seen is that the ACC lawyers aren’t distinguishing themselves, but the FSU lawyers haven’t accomplished much either. The ACC lawyers failed in their attempt to get the case moved or stayed, but both are still under consideration. FSU’s lawyers are getting an opportunity to...

    Option Football

    Out of all the ways for FSU to manage their roster and their indirect NIL money, i don’t think they’d invest heavily in a non-starting DL just for one game, against us, to get intel on our playbook. First, a DL is going to know the defensive playbook a lot better. Second, they played against our...

    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    There might be parallels, but i think college sports are an unusual market. No employment contracts, no direct pay (all indirect), large volumes of money in some situations. If Uber loses a driver to Lyft, no one cares. If LSU loses a QB to Penn State, people do care.

    Do academics mean anything anymore at college

    I don’t see Iowa, Ohio State, Michigan, etc. as the leaders to put academics back in the locker rooms. Who are the “responsible” universities?

    Offseason Media 2024

    I was in the car today, and briefly turned on local sports radio. I’m probably dumber than I was before listening. Mike Bell talked about watching Duke in person last year, saying “Man, I was surprised. Those guys were physical. They’re all at A&M now, but I was impressed”.** A couple of those...

    Coaching Carousel 9 - People die climbing mountains

    A lot of them—also Pearl, Shaka Smart, Rick Barnes, Donovan… Seems like this is underwhelming. Also, it seems to slow down the coaching carousel—who is BYU going to poach seems less of a big deal than UCONN or even Baylor. Is Pope an upgrade over Calipari? People are wondering how long the AD...
