Maybe a little off topic… but why wouldn’t every kid (at least every kid who knows their coach wants them back) enter the portal every year? The guys who didn’t enter seemingly get screwed as the dominoes fall and they find out they dropped to third on the depth chart from March to June.

You are correct. The rules need to be adjusted so the transfer portal is open for a week after the NBA deadline

Actually only the 1 wood was called a driver. The 2‌ wood was called a brassie and the 3 wood a spoon. You're welcome

Often, TV announcers, especially non-US announcers, refer to them as 3 metal, 4 metal, etc. With the addition of hybrids into the bag, things get really crazy. I would prefer them to relate hybrids to degrees of loft and forget trying to compare them to certain irons. It actually makes more sense to call them 170 yd. or 235 yd. clubs relative to carry in the air.

I always tell my students who want to play competitively, that you have to know within a yard how far you hit a club in the air at 3 different trajectories...and then figure out what happens on the ground after it lands which is by far more important and difficult to to determine. When you add in temp, humidity, altitude, wind, grass texture and grain, etc....well you can understand why the game is never conquered. And that does not consider the physiology of the player that day.

And then you have to play your foul balls! So cruel.

But you’re just going off of what your Illinois sources are telling you… so what’s the difference?

Of course Illinois people are confident … And Baylor people are as well … I get info from more people than just the staff lol … I was literally texting with AB3 (Baylor assistant) last night …

RayJ told people he had his decision made … Flagler was very much 50/50 but leaning towards going until he had some feedback today and was 100% going …

Now that is getting people to believe that it’s Baylor but I’ve been told the decision was made before knowing 100% what Flagler was doing … So if that holds true, RayJ was fine going to Baylor with Flagler there and another 5 star guard coming in ? I don’t buy that …

You / other Loyalty insiders are on an island compared to people outside this board so hoping your sources are right

Don’t love when people just equate followers with reliability. An account with like 500 follows leaked the Arizona cardinals new uniforms a few hours before they released. It’s all just info, good or bad, and is fun to weigh all that out.

And maybe they’re wrong … 🤷🏻‍♂️

If Brad loses him … No one to blame but the guy in the mirror … Had tons of PGs in the portal and kept holding out …

Wait a minute. Are you saying that Brad should have taken another PG on instead of holding out for a guy who "many" said was a lock....over a month ago? So, dump option 1 a month before option 1 has made a decision? I'm confused. When this all started, it was going to be Tygerr C with the fallback being RayJ. Maybe I'm wrong with the mentality vs how this is actually playing out?
