Did not look that casual to me with the knee wobbling and the forward lean at the end. But he is SERIOUSLY strong for a 10th grader.

Attacking the non-conference schedule does not make that much sense. In 2006 the 10-3 Notre Dame team had Army, Navy and Air Force. Michigan in 2006 had Vanderbilt, Central Michigan and Ball State. Ohio State in 2006 had Northern Illinois, Cincinnati, and Ball State. There are some weak teams...

Elite Eliason is visiting next week.

No, Yes, Yes. Yes, Yes, No. #4 is the biggest yes. I think they get an automatic pass for attendance - and attendance is not required or checked.

Top 30 or 40 player in BIG is sobering, if true. I think I remember (because I was surprised at the time) that there were 4 BIG picks the year De'Angelo Russell was #2 behind Kat - and one of them was next to last. Most years the entire BIG conference has 5-7 players drafted.

Not Mychal Thompson. He played at Miami Jackson. In 1974 they had four players from Bahamas (including Mychal) and one from Cuba. They were called the Jackson 5 and were 33-0 (average winning margin was 30 points), won Florida state championship. Alas four of the five were eventually declared...

Jalen Suggs and Chet Holmgren the years they played together at Minnehaha Academy. My grandson played against them. Very weird for a Class 2A team to have two players in adjacent years that would go #5 and then #2 in first round of NBA draft. Jalen was incredibly athletic and very skilled...

Awesome Nadine interview. I did not realize that he was was Wisconsin State Champion triple jumper or that he was Track and Field all-conference three years as jumper at MacCalester. Someone who saw some MacCalester basketball games (beyond the Williams Arena game) might comment on his hops...

At the age of 22, with six years of high school coaching, Gagliardi was hired at Carroll College in Helena, Montana. In four seasons as head coach at Carroll, Gagliardi compiled a 24–6–1 record, winning three Montana Collegiate Conference championships. After the 1952 season, Gagliardi left...

Her 19 points made her leading scorer in the Championship game. She came in after the SC starters faced a quick 10-0 deficit. Played 25 minutes, defense and floor game were awesome. You could make a strong case for MVP of national championship game. What a miss for us. She missed junior year...

I suppose so.... And think of how much money the schools could get from a cut of gambling revenues. Is there betting on who is going to enter the portal, and where individual portal players are going to enroll. I might have taken a bet that Payne was going to stay. Or Carrington. Ben treated...

In the old days, we all started to be really worried when the salary of football coaches started to exceed the salary of the university president at many prestigious institutions. Now of course all head football coaches at Power Five level are paid more than that, often by a factor of 5 or...

All the parents were wrong. As usual. (I hope that was the intended meaning of your comment).

His other offers were from Appalachian State and from IOWA. He was in Class of 2021 and played with Malik Gillingham (Class of 2019) and his younger brother Kyreese Willingham (same Class of 2021). Malik and Kyreese are current key players on Mankato D2 Elite 8 entrant. Malik might have...

The Hawkins stat I like is that he is third on team in rebounds at 3.7 per game , ahead of Cam, JOJ, Fox, Ihnen, Mitchell, Carrington (huge minutes play a role but still pretty impressive). Also has 1.7 steals per game with Mitchell at 1.4. Those two were both highly needed.

He has long arms. More important for basketball and making fish look big - than for quarterback play.

I don't get it - where is Caitlin Clark on the list? I can buy a ticket to her sold out game at Williams for a few hundred dollars.

He is a good prospect for college basketball (not sure what level), but he is ELITE at baseball. (edit: I meant Noah Issac's brother with my comments about baseball.) Isaiah is Issac's cousin (as discussed below) and is a basketball prospect but only a freshman so that will play out. Pretty...

At the least that heals well and quickly is almost never a long term injury. Nothing like a Lisfranc injury (like Chet Holmgren had) which can keep a basketball player out for a year and sometimes has some permanent sequelae. I was worried about that so it is nice to hear it was a 5th metatarsal...

When Parker Fox showed up we knew we would have him for TWO seasons. This from Gopher Hole at the time but it was widely reported that way. Newly appointed Gophers head coach Ben Johnson continues to build his first roster; this time adding a commitment from Division two All-American Parker...
