NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

FSU lacks NIL backing, Colorado was willing to make the investment.

Didn't realize that. Thanks for the info.

No worries, I have more visibility given that I follow Miami and UF as well as FSU are rivals. UF flipped a commitment from Miami in a 5-star QB this cycle.....that QB got released from his NLI (not to be mistaken with NIL) because UF apparently didn't uphold their NIL agreement (which isn't allowed, this is supposed to be a 3rd party, but oh well). Miami got lucky that they have a billionaire who's dolling out cash and that they have an elite recruiter in Cristobal. Having said that, I think in the long term, NIL as well as the transfer portal are going to ruin CFB. Money has always been thrown around, and I didn't think it'd play a role, but here we are and CFB looks like a circus.

End rant.

Like I've mentioned before I hope Cristobal's the right guy to turn things around.

Don't really consider myself a true fan of The U.

But man I loved watching them back in the mid 80's & 90's.

They were loud, obnoxious, in your face and backed it up 100% on the field.

Best dynasty I've seen in CFB.

Lane Johnson playing for the Eagles this week, that’s big.

Yep. Hopefully, he responds well to the shot and he can play 3 games in the next 4 weeks. He’s gonna need off season surgery.

Sounds like Bronny is up to a 4 star, 94 rated. Still nothing special

I appreciate it, and hope he does too for obvious reasons.

Have to say that I'm already having concerns, particularly with philosophy and how he handles coaching staffs. Because our offense went back to prehistoric times and was atrocious this past season.

I could see USC given that his dad is likely staying out in Cali for the long term.

Watch him go to USC.

Agreed, Prime's schtick is not going to work in the NFL. It works with 18-22 year olds, especially when you get to recruit. I'm curious in how he's going to do at the Power 5 level, where now you're not going to out-talent other teams.

We're gonna have to wait until he gets a job at a Power 5 level school.

Based on what I've seen of him (which isn't a lot), he'd fit pretty well in Enfields system.

Holy Shit.

Note to self...do not piss off Komodo Dragons.

So get this, I have a fantasy team with the following guards:

Luka
Shai
Morant
Irving
Herro

On the same team I also have Lebron, Markkanen, Harris, Clarkson and Turner. Obviously I’m leading the league easily. Some guy dropped Irving when he got suspended and I picked him up. The rest I got in the draft lol.

Damn! Who do you draft with that you have that dominant a team?

 

[thunderc]

I actually lost my first one last week to a cellar dweller lol. Just a week where they had a lot more games than me. I usually win like 7-2 or 8-1.

Just a yahoo league

This is normally underdog weekend for me, but I’m taking one favorite to cover. I got the Chiefs and all the dogs.

Isn't Chiefs/Jags on Saturday?

Trevor Lawrence has never lost a game on a Saturday.
