If he can make that hook shot consistently, he's a dangerous man.

You know that Conway Twitty named himself after Conway, AR and Twitty, TX.

In maybe unrelated news...

...and this guy has at least eight years of eligibility left! 27% on his three-pointers is nothing to sneeze at.

It occurs to me that Reusse posting one of his columns is the equivalent of a zoo visitor tapping on the glass of the GopherHole enclosure.

Is the mask included?

Good summary! The "multiple sports" and "wildly different levels of resources available" hasn't been talked about enough, going back to the genesis of players sharing in the bounty. That whole reform and the media coverage of it was from the myopic standpoint of major-conference programs and...

Is this the guy that was pimping Ben Johnson?

...or that they should be able to compete at a college as a high-school dropout?

It's interesting that the courts have focused almost entirely on the rights of players, but it's brought up the question of whether an entity like the NCAA or anyone has the right to organize an athletic association with rules and regulations. MLB has an antitrust exemption, but what rights do...

This is a reckoning of market forces. There hasn't seemed to be much of a market for professional basketball in the United States other than the NBA and WNBA. And other than, of course, this nascent NCAA pro association. If there was something that could compete with "college" basketball, it...

As I mused in another thread, the NCAA refused to drive the bus of justice and ended up having the bus hijacked by the courts, and here we...

That was not long ago! This has been fall-of-the-Eastern-Bloc fast!

That's pretty good. Can I use that?

Money ruins everything. I was thinking the other day how rare my mom and her sisters are. They've stayed tight through their entire lives and through the death of their parents. Most siblings don't, and it's usually money and property that are the reasons.

I should clarify that I was there in the mid 80s, when there was virtually no fast food. The chains have crept in since that time.

Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice. We're definitely through the looking glass.

The portal window closing temporarily might be an advantage for new coaches like Medved. A chance to get their legs under them, establish a local recruiting presence, and reassess the pool of available transfer talent.
