  1. Think she will do well there. A heck of a BB player, wish she would have been at NT for a longer period.
  2. A prime example of a great player without gaudy stats.
  3. Even though I was not a great fan of Buggs, I thought he would have got a lot more interest. My guess is that he was steered toward the portal by Hodges. I would guess unless you are a genuine star, there is not much demand for an one year player to be primarily a backup at an average program. I give him credit, when he was hitting a high percentage of threes; he could win games for the team.
  4. Disagree, the pros are a business that depends on winning and attendance. They are not going to throw money at players and because of the draft, don't have to depend on irrational fans to buy players.
  5. NIL is well on the way to destroying college sports. Anyone that can't see that, is either a fan of the very top tier or is not at all interested in college sports. I have never been less interested in NT sports since I enrolled there fifty plus years ago. The completely inept or/and scared administrators and coaches who continue to remain silent and let the NCAA and court system ruin college sports should be all terminated. The pros are a much more enticing choice than college, because they do understand that competition is the basis of their success. I never thought I would rather watch a random pro game more than a meaningful college game, but I am now there. My rating for NT sports is still around 5, but that is compared to a 10 prior to this NIL nonsense.
  6. Obviously, the best program going at NT. Thanks to the seniors that are leaving and hope capable replacements are going to keep the team at the top of the AAC.
  7. My view and I have played a lot of blackjack in my day, is that there is no dealer that wins so consistently in any legistiment blackjack game.
  8. My guess, NT's coaching staff think he will produce.
  9. I count 2 spots left Newll, Wright, Jossell, Floyd, Lorient, Mason, Massie, Vice, Walker, Sissoko, Stone Who am I missing?
  10. I think the 15 refers to the number of players that can be on the bench in a game and play, not the total number of players allowed.
  11. They got beat by a significantly better team, hardly a choke job.
  12. Flawed logic in my view. It is not a lack of commitment to athletics, it is the inability to raise the level of funds necessary to compete at the highest level. You really think the average Alabama fan is anymore committed to sports than the average NT fan? If anything, I would say the average NT fan is more committed. It doesn't take near as much effort to support a dominant top tier program as a fringe team with very limited resources and the loses that go along with that funding level. There are maybe a handful of athletic programs outside of the B10 and SEC that can really compete in D1 football. Most D1 schools are dependent on school and student funds to even field football teams. That is the exact opposite of your expressed point that it is somehow the fault of the administration, students or alumni that schools like NT can't compete.
  13. Not injured, just no control and apparently Delong is not risking her being in the game when she can't throw consistent strikes.
  14. This is football not basketball. Hodge is the one who deserves to complain not Morris.
  15. There is such a thing as being right, and absolutely stupid for expressing that view.
  16. They ether sign a national letter of intent or alternately a financial aid agreement . The question is when, they can sign during the normal signing periods or wait till they are on campus.
  17. No idea, but I bet there are a number of them There is no way in the world to accurately rate schools, what would be your basis?
  18. I agree a disappointing season, but the hitting is a much bigger problem than the pitching.
  19. I doubt he has any eligibility left, but I will settle for WBB Lampkin.
  20. Four signed today, looks like an excellent group. I wish the men side could do something close in recruiting. I like what Hodge has done, but nothing close to Burton. He has thus far kept his players and added this group to them. As I posted before, kepting Lampkin was the best news on the NT basketball front.
  21. Bean looked to be as fast as any college player I've seen. I always thought he would have been great at another position, like wr, cb or kick-punt returner. My guess that will be were he makes it if he does in the pros.
  22. Disagree strongly, names on uniforms are for the benefit of fans not the players. I wish NIL had never happened, it could be the absolute end of college sports. However, the athletes are representing the school, be it for one game or more.
