It's "Vol for the Year" now. Under these conditions, the number of players playing their full careers at their original university will be cut in half right away. In 10 years the only players to finish will be the average players who have no significant value or those pulling multimillion dollar...

Thats a very complicated stat, I don't get it. It must be magic if it can make Aidoo not look like a turnover machine in the post. Maybe this is what Arkansas was looking at? TOV% is 100 * TOV / (FGA + 0.44 * FTA + TOV), where: TO: The number of turnovers FGA: The number of field goal...

Thats a point where facts can be misleading. 70% of his touches were at the point outside the 3 line as part of the catch, pass and screen offense. I would love to see his stats when catching a pass, or getting a rebound, in the low post position while being guarded by another big.

I agree, but starting and bigger NIL money are actually the same thing.

Yes, it's true this was to be a down year but these players don't just show up and start playing well in a new system. The guys that transferred out have a lot of talent but could not see the floor because they could not produce in the Barnes system. I think all of them would have eventually...

The only ones left out of the new equation are the fans, since they can't change teams. It's musical chairs for everyone else. Any system built on not satisfying the people paying the bill will eventually fail. I can say that following the teams exciting run and the immediate jump to the portal...

Money, money, money, money.......Money!

For those who like to worry there is plenty for all, literally everyone, signed recruits, committed recruits, current players, unsigned recruits need to be worked and potential coaching retirement. There is zero solid ground until tipoff in November. Fans, start your worrying!

Fans act like these transfers are just going to walk in and start performing at a high level. Estrella had about 6 minutes of playing time last season and the OSU transfer knows nothing about the Barnes system. Awaka would be lightyears ahead of either of them. We need to win those early season...

If he can just hold on to the ball once he gets it we are way ahead of last year。

I remember seeing that players were going to be allowed to profit when their name image or likeness was used, understandably in some kind of advertisement. 12 months later it's open season and I have seen very few NIL ads, ZZ and DK, for example. I haven't seen Nico do anything worth 8 million...

Yes the new NIL/transfer process leaves out the fan for the most part. A team can gain from the portal as well as lose but this by-passes the emotional attachment fans have with the school and players they have followed. There is no business, without a monopoly, that markets products to...

I wish they do something about kickoffs and punts. It's really boring to watch balls kicked into the end zone and seldom any runbacks on punts. Just do away with them or activate them. All they are now are commercial magnets. We must watch 3 minutes of commercials on every punt and kick off and...

He was getting ahead and then constantly hitting just outside on the lower corner of the plate. Thats frustrating when it happens. Just 1 inch to the right and you are striking everybody out looking. I guess we were respecting their power。

I feel like my hands are dirty when I have to go to the ESPN website or watch a ball game on ESPN/Disney. I minimize my Disney presence and could care less what they think about our team/coach.
