Touche'. I stand corrected. He did get a Monroe offer. The point remains. He was not highly recruited, and really had no shot of ever getting an LSU offer regardless of who else they recruited.

Not to be a downer, but for perspective Ford also didn't get offers from La Monroe or La Lafayette & they are not bringing in the #1 & #5 running backs.

I'm very happy with this addition, especially late in the game. He doesn't have top end speed & played at low level of competition in HS. I still think he could be a good player for us, like Mo was. He may not have homerun speed so to speak, but you can have a great career hitting lot's of...

I think he was hoping to get some coverage snaps at nickel, that Jai'ointe McMillan is getting instead. You'd think it would have been the smart move to ask for a red shirt, and stay here with Henderson & McMillan both graduating after the season. In theory, he would have been in a good spot...

I'd never been to see stand-up until about 18 mos ago, and absolutely love it. In that time my girlfriend and I have seen: -Samuel Comroe at Laugh Camp in St Paul. He was so good, we went to see him again in Des Moines. Highly recommend. - We built a weekend vacation to Phoenix last February...

The Kinks didn't make it?

LOVE IT!!!!

First time I'd been there. As a guy who pretty much grew up in that theater, I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Thought nostalgia might ruin it for me, but it was great. Sort of that Huntington Bank Stadium "there are no bad seats in the house" feeling. I could have been anywhere in...

Black stocking cap/white t-shirt kid. The kid was an absolute savage! You would have thought he was whacked out on crank at a Slayer concert in 92'. Just a big, wild, inappropriately thrashing, dummy. People around me in our my section couldn't stop watching him. The group was amazing, and Kim...

Costa Rica & the Dominican Republic are both great choices. Sun Country flies to both Guanacaste (Costa Rica) & Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) affordably Oct-Apr. Two very different experiences culturally as CR is Central American & the DR is Carribbean. Either way you go, I suggest getting...

Not a huge fan. If you just want a nice beach you can find one a lot closer, for a lot less money. My .02

Don't you have to work Edmonds into the rotation too? He's not just a big body, the guy can play.

Odukale's not here to sit, imo. The guy can defend, is our only 3 with any size, and has started 80+ college basketball games in his career.

And the nice thing is, for the bulk of them this is their last season, so no quitting mid-season, or threatening to transfer.

That's my hope. That Betts can help us there against bigger wings. He appears to have the agility to defend the spot, and a nice shooting stroke. Despite being in the program 2 years, he's still really young.
