I hope so. Certainly not ready to write him off. He has talent, I just felt he’s been a bit overrated as a prospect last couple of years. Hope he puts it all together. Cubbies need him to produce.

Remember when Michael Busch was giving people the right to question those who questioned the trade? Since his 5-homer streak: 29 Games 95 AB 17 R 19 H 4 2B 1 3B 1 HR 8 RBI 11 BB 45 K .200 AB For the record, I thought there was a good chance he was overrated as a prospect but trade was well...

Was wondering the same thing. Has to be though.

Sadly, I’m not sure that was even the dumbest post of the week — though number regarding MBB. There was one on Wednesday I think regarding a different program/coach that certainly deserves consideration.

Good call. I expect photos will surface soon of Shauna relaxing in the whirlpool every day instead of working her tail off to land some impact transfers to elevate the program. If only she wasn’t happy being just a borderline tourney team. 🙄

Heck I’d take any kind of threat between 9 and 15 feet.

Can players transfer mid-season still (eg Dain)? Don’t they have to enter the portal to transfer? Is there a second portal window? Page I found on NCAA website just shows the one that recently closed. So what is the value of leaving a ride open except for saving a little money and not having...

Much better accommodations than we had. Though at least we each had our own car to sleep in. Wasn’t the case for spring break when that buddy and another slept in a Honda Accord (smaller back then and I’m 6-2 and one guy was 6-5) in a Dennys parking lot coming back from So Cal.

I think Tre will play a lot. And both him (2) and Booth (3) have multiple years of eligibility. And top tier guys aren’t easy to get. Brad has emphasized multiple years of eligibility to try to get more continuity while still fielding a top 20 team (or better) this year. If can maintain that...

If can’t find a nearby place to stay, I might suggest checking out used car lots. At least back in 1980, not all car lots locked the car doors as a friend and I found out the day after Thanksgiving when we hitchhiked from Corvallis to Eugene and took refuge in two cars from a rain storm after...

I’m hoping we get at least a 24-hour moratorium, but wouldn’t be surprised to see some such posts as I read next two pages.

Thanks. I saw him on a list of top 5 performers at the event, so I thought he did better.

I thought a few of the players with great showings at Portsmouth usually earn combine invites. Is that not the case? Did any make it this year, with how well Marcus did there, I expected to see him on list.

Honest question as I don’t really keep up with the NIL budgets, are big donor NIL donations truly “primarily going to basketball” or is it more that football isn’t receiving enough money to stay competitive in a sport that takes more NIL than bball?
