    Dawson Garcia returning

    A hardship waiver (that's the term in the NCAA rule book) gives you an extra season of participation and an extra calendar year on your clock to use it. While he technical doesn't meet the criteria laid out for the medical qualifier sub-section of that, you can always appeal and ask for a...

    Heard some nationally syndicated guy on KFAN last evening, don't remember who it was. Basically brought up the point that if Rodgers wants a ring this year, it has to be the NFC. Going to an AFC team like the Steelers is where that dream goes to die. Also brought up the possibility of Stafford...

    There's just no way we roll into Week 1 with only Rypien and let's say a 2025 draft pick round 4 or lower as the QB room. That's nuts. (I'm not saying that you're saying that is what you want or what you think is going to happen.) Something has to happen

    And what the player decides to do, as well. For all we know, the Vikings made Rodgers an offer that did not include a guaranteed starter role for 2025. And Rodgers turned that down. I made that up, and have no real idea, but I don't think any of us actually know.

    Jefferson is Gone

    Good to know! I could try to argue that that was a guy who would've left regardless, and I'm talking about anyone who ends up staying now who would've come here if both Niko and Ali came here .... but I'll be honest, I have no idea who is who on that team. So I could be wrong

    Jefferson is Gone

    This is 100% correct. That said -- and maybe this was flat out never on the table -- in a fantasy world it would've been nice for Niko to bring Farokhmanesh with him and also whichever of the best CSU would have come with them but now are going to stay in FoCo with Ali.

    It should be the top half of these teams and that's it. Would guess the bottom half here have the lowest chance at being competitive against the upper half, of any class in the state.

    That's just the game. They know there's a certain percentage of their listener base who feel that way, so they get one of their guys to spout off like that to be their champion.

    Kwesi just had public comments on Wed about the situation, so that's not fully true.

    Think Ogee nailed it a few posts above. Vikings are or were interested in Rodgers, but strictly as a backup. And agree that anyone (here or in media) loudly exclaiming that he would never do that, has no idea if that's true. My sales pitch for him to come here as the backup: - McCarthy had an...

    If he doesn't sign with Steelers and doesn't announce retirement, he basically has to be hoping that JJ tweaks his injury during the spring. I caught KFAN this morning playing Kwesi's clips from yesterday where he was asked about it and while he didn't technically shut the door it certainly...

    The Case for Niko (aka Niko’s Case)

    What about "he was on our radar but we didn't consider him worthy of an offer until seeing what they did in the tournament"? I have no idea if that's a thing, hope not. I guess I don't see why we wouldn't do it like Wade did at McNeese, with the early announcement, if the deal is basically...

    The Case for Niko (aka Niko’s Case)

    It only lets me compare four schools at a time. And again this is 2022-23 school year numbers: Iowa - $10.4M Wisconsin - $11M Nebraska - $10.2M Illinois - $14.2M

    The Case for Niko (aka Niko’s Case)

    I have no idea what their NIL is like, but if you go to https://ope.ed.gov/athletics/#/ and select "Compare Data for Multiple Schools" you can see their Men's Basketball budgets (it's a bit old, I think it is the 2022-23 school year) which is showing roughly: CSU - $5.9M UNM - $4.9M Boise -...

    Fair points. Notwithstanding that I have no visibility to the ultimate reasons why Rodgers didn't come ... it could have had more to do with money/terms than anything else. That said, assuming it was just that the Vikings didn't think they needed him and wanted to focus on McCarthy .... it's...

    Well, that's that. I thought Rodgers to the Vikings was the move. But time to move on and embrace that McCarthy will be our starter Week 1 in 2025. That's a strong ass move ... and if it turns out to be Bryce Young instead of Jayden Daniels .... I'm not so sure some people shouldn't lose...
