Agreed.

He certainly was the best QB this past year. More important than where you get drafted is WHO drafts you. Hopefully JD goes to a good situation where the coach and organization focus on tailoring things to his strengths.

Really hope Nabers doesn’t go to the midgets. BT could be the steal of the draft. Can’t wait to see where they all wind up.

Hope he doesn’t go to Chicago. They have no idea how to develop a QB and surround them with good players that fit their skill set.

Why must ND play “at least 10” power 4 teams? Most power 4 teams don’t play 10 power 4 teams. Just looking at the teams you listed, they play 8 power 4 teams. Also Navy, Army and N IL are better than the FCS schools most power 4 teams play. As for the 13 games requirement, ND completes in the ACC and can qualify for their Title Game last I checked. That would be 13 games just like the other conference winners. I don’t see a problem here.

Agreed.

Good points. I’m definitely optimistic on the offense again leading the SEC and with the defense being much better.

Lol

Agreed

I think this is more about not wanting to coach “under the gun”. They likely told him another year like this past year where they exit March Madness early and he would be let go. I think that took away all of the fun for him. His ego is bigger than the $30M he’s leaving behind. I can see him winning big at Arky pretty early on as he’s going to recruit great players and he will be more free without the pressure to win it all every year like at UK. I think UK becomes a more steady program by not relying on a bunch of FR to win it all every year. Could be a win win.

That seems to be the case.

Wow! That seat in Lexington must be really hot!! Arky has a great BB legacy but you don’t go there from UK unless you get fired! Could it be he’s playing footsies with the Hogs to make UK think about losing him?? Interested to see how this plays out.

She’s not the best to ever do it. Can’t have that title without rings! She’s the best scorer in women’s history and she is fun to watch.

Congrats on USC!! Enjoyed the game. Glad someone put that “goat” nonsense to bed.

Iowa’s run is over. USC is too loaded and balanced.

She had an up and down year largely due in the position change. Being the pt guard for a roster of talented players meant she had to sacrifice a lot of her offensive abilities to ensure the team effectively got it stars good shots. She largely did that but she had too many turnovers in the biggest games. To her credit she was a gamer. This year’s team would have been even better with a true pt guard and rotating Hailey in relief of Flauje at shooting guard. LSU has some highly rated pt guards coming in so things should get better. As for Hailey. If someone is only looking for a shooting guard they will get a very capable player. Best of luck to her.

I hope not. Then it just becomes the NFL with less appeal as the players won’t be associated with the schools they represent. Thing is the college presidents are not interested in running a football league. They want their programs under the educational umbrella of the school as opposed to some semi-pro league. I agree with them. If you want the nfl model go watch the NFL!

I hate it too. People who toss these crazy ideas around fail to realize that college presidents at large are very unwilling to divest their football programs from their schools. They see the players as “student-athletes”. Until that changes or the courts allow players to unionize and collectively bargain, it isn’t changing. I don’t like all of the conference expansion but I like what we now have way more than this loony idea.

Very impressive indeed! There are some really great young ladies coming up next. So many freshmen had great years including Ju-Ju at USC and M Williams at LSU who were the top two recruits out of HS joined by Flawale (sp) at USCe. The sophomores were big too with Flauje Johnson from LSU and Rogers at USCe. The women’s game definitely appears to be in good shape going forward.

It’s crazy she was so successful playing in the paint as a 6’3” forward going toe to toe with big centers at 6’8” who probably had 40 - 50lbs on her. Set records for most double-doubles! She dominated every match up down low including twice vs the USC bigs, the VT top 10 player and others. I think she will be just fine in WNBA because she won’t be out of position. She’ll be going against other forwards and I think she’ll hold her own. I was hoping she’d come back for 1 more run but best of luck to her going forward.

Congrats to Angel on an amazing career! Her 2 years in BR resulted in 2 title runs were she brought home the schools first national title followed by another deep run where they just ran into one of the best women’s players ever! I am very grateful she came and enjoyed watching her compete.

They may beat UConn but to “win it all” they have to (likely) beat SC. I don’t see that happening.

Clark was outstanding. Congrats to Iowa on a big win. I felt going in LSU should focus on limiting her teammates because Caitlin was going to get her points. The fact that Iowa’s other players had a really good game was the biggest difference to me. Once they got going I knew it wouldn’t end well for LSU because no one is stopping Clark. It’ll be a good matchup between Clark and Beckers in the next round. I don’t see either team beating SC.

The fifth site covered the Big 12.

This is ridiculous. The problem is there were 5 sites before the implosion of the PAC. There was “Saturday Down South” for SEC coverage, “Saturday out West” for PAC coverage, and 2 others for the ACC and Big. With the PAC going away they are rolling the new teams into the Big Ten site and obviously think rolling the ACC into the SEC site is a good idea because the ACC folks don’t follow like the SEC and those ACC writers need jobs. The problem is there is ONLY SEC fans on this site and nobody is interested in ACC drivel. It’s also obvious they don’t care about that fact. So they’ll just keep cramming ACC garbage down our throats. I think they should’ve at least had the decency to explain why this is happening.

The article states “LSU returns a healthy core from last year’s title team”. That’s not true. LSU only returns 2 players from last year’s title team with Flauje (FR last year) and Angel. They have 2 new transfer starters and 1 FR in Williams who was one of the top 2 HS players with Juju. This was a great coaching job by KM to mold all of the new players together and get this far. Hopefully they can also make the next step.

Two great teams but the NCAA messed up by having them meet too early. This should’ve been a Final Four game. The NCAA was desperate to ensure they play each other so they miss-ranked LSU as a 3 seed when they should’ve been a 2 then put them in the same region as Iowa. Still, the game will get major ratings so obviously people want to see it.

I think JD is worthy of going number 1 but I don’t want him to go to the Bears. They have been horrible at developing and supporting QBs for about 30 years now. Much of a QBs success is determined by what team drafts them. The Bears have just been awful.

Turns out it was an attempt at a hit piece on KM. Nothing new was revealed. She coaches hard and some of her former players don’t like her. She doesn’t support the “alternate” lifestyle. She doesn’t want her players to have their bodies out there front and center. That’s it. This was a nothing burger and only served to get clicks during the tournament. Shameful really……

It was a nothing burger! Lol. Basically harped on how she prefers her players to not put their bodies out there in a bad way. Also focused on her NON support for the “color” coalition and lifestyle. How she didn’t back Brit Griner coming out. That’s it! That’s your “juice”! Now maybe clowns will move on to something else.
