Hope he stays healthy in 2024. The sky is the limit for him. Thing that impressed me out of the gate with Ersery is his athletic ability. Coaching has translated that into solid football skills. A solid year probably puts him in first-round discussion in the 2025 NFL draft.

But will he let her do the show?

There were efforts to establish a graduation test with a cut score in Minnesota I think during the Pawlenty administration or in the wake of the Florida edcuation reforms enacted under Jeb Bush (but it all runs together for me at my advanced age). There was also an Algebra II requirement that...

I think the ACT is generally viewed as the benchmark, but not all colleges are requiring test scores for admittance anymore. SAT is also used, but ACT has generally been deemed more accessible. High school graduation standards largely vary by school district although there are some state...

Your response made me think of something. I'm not an educator, but I have involved at an arm's-length level with education policy/funding as a lobbyist. Back in the late-1990s, the state was trying to develop and implement new graduation standards in an effort known as the Profiles of...

Very good questions/observations. One angle is that with early entry into the pro leagues--especially in basketball--a lot of top-tier guys can just coast academically until they declare for the draft. There is probably much more support for athletes academically than in earlier eras and...

I hope Parliament commits and brings Funkadelic with him.

Really solid list of offers.

I'm having a bit of a difficult time figuring out how this juxtaposes with the transfer portal. Are more kids going to accept SEC offers where they probably won't play as freshmen and sophomores and then transfer out (and maybe down) because they haven't gotten any playing time. I guess I'm...

Agree. He's not in immediate trouble. Next two or three years will determine his fate. I don't follow the "hot assistant/mid-major coach" discussion at all, so I don't know who would be on the list to possibly replace him.

Inventive. All of rural Minnesota is experiencing a workforce shortage, but a lot of those jobs are entry-level hourly work. The need is especially keen outside the Rochester-to-St. Cloud corridor. It's really hard to calculate the cost/benefit on lower compensation/lower cost-of-living...

Hoping for some Mangham Style.

Only missing one time zone.

Only if he can shake it.

I only saw Randy Williams once. It was a game against Roosevelt and there was a Coleman on the Roosevelt team (I think it was Al Coleman, it was several years before Ben Coleman played for North). Great game. Really hard fought and Coleman and Williams were the focus. Williams was really...

At least it was the point guard dribbling with a purpose. A departure from Pitino's offense where it was mandatory that everyone dribble a lot, often aimlessly.

Curious how the use him, but I think it can work for both the Gophers and Williams. Colorado State guard Joe Palmer transferred there from SON's and my alma mater tiny Augsburg College and played about 15 minutes a game and contributed. Is Williams the guy who gets us into the NCAA tourney...

Good catch! I forgot all about Ferdinand's untimely demise.

Didn't see it elsewhere, but Kyler Baugh signed with the Saints as a UDFA. Don't know if it's a tryout or there's guaranteed money. Saw the report of Crooms signing with the Cowboys in the Spann-Ford thread. Beanie Bishop signed with the Steelers.

I admittedly haven't seen a lot of all the QBs that were drafted, but of them, I think McCarthy has the best football instincts. I thought the key play in the national championship game was when McCarthy ran for a first down on third-and-long in the second half right after Washington had scored...
