Houston tonight!

Agree completely...as far as the portal they should get 1. If they want to move again there should be a 1 year hold time where they can practice but can not play. Exceptions made for family emergency issues of course. As far as any player participating in any NFL camp or professionally recognized program to include overseas should receive an automatic ban from "college" sports. Call it a non compete clause. I am all about these guys getting paid, however this has to be reigned in.

I don't think this is college sports anymore either. This is professional sports. I agree with that. I think one area I like with where it's going, or the Big 10 and SEC (ACC will follow) is trying, is there is a difference with what's going on now vs. the true "pro sports". These established college athletes have it all right now. They can go pro, decide they don't want to anymore because of more $$$ or get cut and return to college essentially. That can't go on. It's just not healthy for "college" sports. It will get to a point where coaches recruit their roster, work out all summer and then rug pull athletes a week or two before seasons. And those athletes are screwed. They can't just transfer somewhere else and be eligible to compete/play immediately. They have to get in the portal, wait for the portal window, and go through the process again.

Enjoyed the program... Fishers a bitter man but Vince also made his mistakes. So much in life for athletes is circumstances and opportunity. I did not know he grew up wanting to go to FSU. Very happy Bobby Bowden recruited VY as a WR.

Kelsey isn't a good defender because she's not a good defender. It ain't just because of size. That dog doesn't hunt. That's an insult to any quality defensive player that was a little undersized, and there have been thousands in basketball over the years. Without being close to the Fever, or caring to be BTW, I'm betting the demands aren't there defensively as a team under the current coach. No single player can carry a basketball team to a championship. You have to have the coaching, the system and a great supporting cast. That goes for MJ, Shaq, Kobe, Hakeem or anyone. MJ couldn't carry the Bulls to a championship vs. the experienced Celtics or Pistons early in his career - and was very clearly the best and most dominant player on the court. The Bulls had to put everything in place to make it happen, and grow as a team and individual players with the correct coach. And he's the best ever. Steph Curry couldn't have carried to GS Warriors to a title without Klay and Draymond. Because no single player can. Who knows what will happen in all these players careers. Some of it is out their hands, and in the hands of management and coaching. If a very good player doesn't have those pieces in pro sports... they are up against it. I always reference VY at Texas in that regard at the college level. If Mack and Greg Davis hadn't opened their mind to what they needed to do offensively to maximize Texas with VY, and maximize VY at the same time ... there is zero chance Texas wins an NC with Vince, as truly talented as that team was. What a shame that would have been.

Clarks finally healthy again. Look out league.

I am glad that the 2 highest profile conferences have voted to nix this craziness. To play devils advocate tho... NCAA players are already getting paid thus they are professional athletes already. How much does ot really matter if they uave eligibility left that they move from one business to another. The only difference is where the paycheck comes from. Not by any means advocating for this but there is a legitimate argument.

The Fever have a product that sells tickets, yes. That's great for ownership, but players want to win. Kelsey isn't a good defender because of size, Clark stands 6 ft and has no lateral movement, change of direction, and very little athleticism. You see it in her dribble. When she goes to change direction from right to left, she almost always goes behind her back. She's really good, I think, but I don't think she can carry a team to a championship. She's going to have outstanding numbers and set records. The thing about records is they will almost certainly be broken. Olivia is already destroyed almost every mark she set as a rookie. But to be a champion, that is forever. So viewership, ticket sales... it's great but as a sports fan I never looked at Jordan, Lebron, Kobe, or any of the other greats and said wow the Bulls, Cavs, or Lakers really have a nice product to sell. Competitors are judged by hardware.

The Fever's biggest issue is none are high end defenders. Kelsey Mitchell much worse that Clark. Mitchell is -51... which is a wow bad number defensively. Boston okay, but still -9. Clark's a little overblown in comparison to the perception... she's very similar comparison to Steph Curry in that regard. But she doesn't have Klay and Draymond defensively around her ... that also were space players, shooters and skilled passers in the system. Fever have a product that sells tickets for sure, but they will eventually have to get more rebounding and interior defensive presence.

If people really pay attention to Paige and Azzi they're really the Steph and Klay of the W. Paige because when she is off ball she never stops moving and is annoying to guard. Azzi will drop 20 on you and never take one dribble. I like what Dallas has going with Jess (Jokic) Sheppard and Awak blocking any and everything. Just sucks they will end up playing the Lynx... ouch.

Give me Olivia all day as my PG1, Clark goes in the same category as Luka and James Harden for me. I never want to have to sub my PG late in games due to defense. Clark is going to need a lot more 30/10 games next year, Kelsey is gone next year.

Yeah Vince made mistakes. But Fisher really comes off bad here. And still petty to not answer the letter Vince sent. Overall a pretty good and fair piece. Enjoyed Bo and Lendale as well .

Jeff fisher being to much of a immature man child to write a letter back to vince simply because he spelt his name wrong was petty as can be

I thought the portal window is closed. How are we still talking about the portal?

Addicts are still at high risk after going through rehab. A lot of addicts go through rehab 7-8 times. I think it was unrealistic and disingenuous for Tech to expect him to be restored after one rehab.

New Documentary following Vince Young’s rise and fall. Definitely gives some interesting perspective. If I ever see Jeff Fisher in person, it is on sight. **** that guy.

Nice! And @Jordan Scruggs someone did top your origin score but he did take 8 attempts vs your 1...

Great game! I was able to snap top 3 on all, including toppling Jordan's photo #1 spot.

Why the hell is this gonna go through a douchebag Louisiana judge again😑

The insulting part is that they thought a few weeks in rehab is enough to beat an addiction. It's an on going process. You'll likely relapse. The fact they thought that was good enough and that he's good to go was disgusting. Not to mention how insulting it was. I don't think they're getting enough heat for it. Also think the fact that he's still trying to justify it is disgusting.

Houston has been my sleeper pick. Lots of experience on that team and Fritz is a good coach.

On Caitlin Clark... "The 30-point, 10-assist game was the fifth such total in her career, setting a new WNBA record. The rest of the league has combined for only four such games. This is the fourth time this season that Clark has reached the 30-point, 10-assist threshold, and the 6-foot guard has accomplished the feat against the Sky three times in her career." Clark has more 30 and 10 assist games than the rest of the WNBA ... ever if the story is correct.

EDIT: Wait, never mind - I thought from the HUDL headline Thrower went to DeSoto! My mistake. Ignore the rest of this post. Senior moment.] Great double-header featuring Texas 2027 recruits on ESPN2 and ESPN Saturday evening. DeSoto v # 7 St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida) in Fort Lauderdale on ESPN2, with Briceson Thrower #8 Basha v # 23 Chandler (Arizona) here in Chandler, featuring 14 D1 recruits from Basha, including Noah Roberts, and several high ranking recruits from Chandler. The forecast high for Chandler tomorrow afternoon is 116 F degrees, just thought I'd share that with you (I live on the Chandler - Phoenix border). That's hot even for Phoenix. But dropping to 107 by Saturday so folks will need to bring a sweater to the game lol.

I think that’s the interesting issue. The judge can provide injunctive relief and allow the players to play for LSU, but the SEC still has the right to punish LSU however it sees fit if they actually play on the field. The Big Ten’s statement threatened the coaches with fines and games suspended if they allow these players to participate. Would LSU pay a fine and have Kiffin miss 3-4 games in return for upgrading the roster with a handful of players? Heck, Kiffin better hope the judge provides an injunction or these players may sue his ass for promising something he couldn’t deliver (a paycheck and playing time for LSU, in return for leaving an NFL opportunity).

Very well said and that definitely makes sense about DGG and Spell. They aren't going to give 3 running backs 5 stars so I get it. We'll just let him be a 5 star on the field and let that do the talking.
