That Tops!

 

[T2P_Priceless]

Don’t feel bad, I thought all the kids that committed to new schools in the portal were already signed, but apparently not.

Yeah, I don’t know what the signing would mean. I guess some sort of an NIL contract?

Otherwise, I think they just show up and go to class?

This may be a stupid question and I’ve held off asking it, but screw it is there more knee movements involved in basketball then there is playing DB and twisting every play?

Think of all the cuts a PG makes in basketball.

Articles say he was committed, doesn't mention having signed anything.

 

[GrayWaterCanine]

Almost 900 yards rushing and 20 receptions isn’t anything to scoff at. I’d welcome Star Thomas if he came.

I'm holding out for Superstar Thomas.

 

[volinbama256]

Smh Humphrey is right there lol

Thomas had 12 for 25 against Miami

So we let Seldon go, not wanting to give him a chance at WR and he could still be RB, yet we are looking at a mid RB in Thomas and Humphrey is still out there... This is a cluster F... everyone will be happy with me stepping away and just lurking, as this is just getting Pathetic. I can't wait to see this board in the fall... wonder if most will still be in denial... We spent all our money supposedly on freshman (class was like 10-15, not even top 5) and retains, and have nothing left to replace the talent we lost. We sign Banks to an extension--- our talent level this year masked his inability to make adjustments during the game, never blitzed, ran zone until our opponent got to the red zone (folks I guess forgot how we had to outscore our opponents the first few seasons because our defense sucked), and our Oline coach is still hanging out along with the WR coach who apparently didn't get glowing reviews from all the mass WR's leaving... Got it.

Good question. I tore both of my knees on multiple occasions playing basketball. About 17 years apart. But after partially tearing my right knee the first time in basketball (doctor didn’t take an MRI and told me to stay off of it two weeks), I played flag football and immediately tore it completely playing DB

I wasn’t going to say all that, I’m just whining per usual.

Just say it this way... you can find reports of many football players playing with a torn ACL. I cannot recall a single basketball player at the college or pro level that has done it.

No way you can do it at a skill position though. Too much cutting.

Only two I can think of is Zach Lavine and Klay.

Didn’t Bernard tear something?

True but transfer players don’t actually sign anything other than a NIL deal as far as I know. They just verbally commit

DeJuan Blair played College Basketball at Pittsburgh with no ACL's in both knees.

What talent did we lose? Who did we lose that was going to be in a position to start next year?

Everyone that left, we were fine letting them walk out the door.

That seems insane. It’s a way to really destroy your meniscus and have problems for the rest of your life.

True. Just every basketball player is essentially a "skill position" with the amount of impact the sport has on the knees.

If McCoy has no issues or setbacks during recovery he could be a full participant by fall practice.

Kyle Lowry, Rajon Rondo, Tim Hardaway, Ricky Rubio, Corey Brewer, Nerlins Noel

I found a list lol

Yep, transfers aren't really on the team until that first enrollment period for classes start.

 

[Stickseller]

Wonder if Drinkajizz is gonna try to hump his leg or get a piggyback ride? It worked out SO well last time Misery had a bigshot Dline player...

If you had other options, who would ever choose to go live in Columbia, Missouri? The same applies to Starkville MS and will always hurt them in recruiting.

Mizzou got the better of the portal deal here as 5* Williams Nwaaneri is a true freshman with a lot of athletic talent. He was a project however and was low on the depth chart and couldn’t make his way up to see the field. 5* Damon Wilson had 22 tackles and 3 sacks this season for Georgia. Also forced and recovered 2 fumbles. He will start immediately for the Tigers.

The only cluster F is your post

You said the RB was very good @Stoerner Fumbles

Not the droid you’re looking for.

I’d rather tell him to hold off and come back in 26.

You’d have a secondary full of studs
McCoy, Boo, Gibson, Breedlove, Thomas, Farooq, etc.

If McCoy didn’t get hurt, he would’ve 10000% gone after this upcoming season.
