Today’s players wouldn’t want to play for Knight because he refuse to adapt. Coaches need to adapt as players and society change.

LSU just signed international star Noa Morro from Spain. 6'3" post with a bunch of experience. Dang! She would have been perfect for us.

I had that jersey because Jerry West said that Kobe was best player he'd ever drafted. Jerry said that Kobe would easily be better than Shaq.

“Jus’ wildcattin’”

I was wearing a Kobe 8 Jersey at the game. Guy looked at me before he made his stupid statement.

No................They only want what's best for him personally. This has nothing to do with football. (and monkeys might fly out of my butt)

How does “5 on 5” in Detroit sound 11 months from now?

Good for him. I hope he makes the team.

Sorry, I thought the thread was "5 on 5" ...

My greatest sports memory ever is being at the first game Kobe Bryant ever started on 28 January 1997 at Reunion Arena. I was half way up the bowl, mid court. Remember some guy saying just before the game started that Kobe was overrated. Lakers won of course.

Next year in 94 went to University of Chicago to go to graduate school. Stanley Rosen.

If he did not want to play for Texas, too bad for him 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

This is no suprise. There a quite a few athletes over the last 5 years or so that have jad this same issue. Legalizing gambling across the nation gave everyone access...including the nefarious types that will fix a game. Players, officials....probably so.e coaches.

He was serviceable!

I have 6 nieces and nephews born before him, so yes, everything hurts

I thought he was the best QB TTU had before he was injured.

Of the three, Jimmy was the most memorable. People were just staring at him. No one said a word. They didn't ask him for autographs or anything. I looked at him and said, "What can I do for you?" I don't remember his response other than he wanted aquarium stuff.

I wouldn't think so based on everything Baker said today, this age‑based eligibility rule wouldn’t affect Seymour at all. The “not retroactive” part only applies to older players who already burned through their eligibility and were hoping to come back under the new system. Seymour isn’t in that category - he still has eligibility left and he’s well under the age threshold the NCAA is targeting. So I would think nothing changes for him coming to Texas this summer. His spot, his timeline, and his eligibility are all the same. The only people who get squeezed by this are the older guys who were hoping for one more year, not incoming transfers like Seymour. Want to thank Joe for posting this....so interesting.

This would impact Seymore I think… edit: maybe not?? Idk these rules are confusing! 😅

The part that jumps out to me is Baker saying the age‑based eligibility rule won’t be retroactive. That’s exactly the kind of thing that’s going to trigger lawsuits. You can’t create a new eligibility pathway for future players while telling the guys who already exhausted their years, “Sorry, tough luck.” That’s two different classes of athletes overnight. And with NIL in the mix now, players can argue real financial harm from being denied another year. That’s a very different legal landscape than the NCAA is used to. They’ve been getting hammered in court for years, and this is another situation where their logic is going to get tested hard. So yeah - if this rule goes through as “not retroactive,” the amount of legal action coming their way is going to be wild. The NCAA keeps trying to modernize without fully thinking through the consequences, and every time they do that, the courts end up cleaning up the mess.

Good stuff. Story time. I've met three Cowboys in my life: Jimmy Johnson, Jim Jeffcoat and Darren Woodson. When I went to Texas in the early 90s, I lived in Irving during the summers with my brother. I worked in the lumber yard at Payless Cashways at Beltline and Road Island. In June 93 Jimmy came in and walked up to the lumber counter. I was 19 and just stood. He told me he wanted some glass and materials for an aquarium. Few questions. Sold him some stuff and cut some glass for him. Next week, Jeffcoat comes in and buys some plywood. Met Woodson at Hooters in 99 in Addison just after moving back to Texas from New Mexico.

Too late, Sorsby already contacted me.

They are going to get sued no matter what so they need to pass it anyway. If it gets the 28 year old "freshmen" out of college sports then I am all for it.
