I don't like rushing things. I think they rushed it last season, they went and almost immediately got Gabe Cupps, which did not turn out well. If they are paying a premium to get these guys committed early, it's dumb. There's certainly no reason to push to get Jelavic quickly - not sure what the amount of NIL they're going to give him is, and it had better not be very much based on his production at UK, but I worry they might have went and given him whatever amount he asked for in order for him to commit this quickly.

I'm certainly hoping they have money to get another good player to add to the rotation, and if they don't, it's a sign of poor money management. They supposedly have money to spend on the portal this season, so if Justin Pippen is clearly the best they get & no other big names come on board, then they will have failed. I agree that it's a worry about the team being soft next season. I believe Josh O will help provide more of an interior presence that they otherwise lacked this season, Jelavic is a better rebounder than Tilly, and Pippen at least works to get rebounds from the guard position (not going to be able to match Bruce there but can come close).

I actually love the Pippen pickup. They definitely need another guard who can at minimum push him though and id like to see a SF type who can at least hope to push Thompson

Saw one place where he was ranked the #9 C in the draft and was projected to be a late first round pick. If he can get $4-5M for one year, he should definitely stay in college.

"We Choose to Go To The Moon!"

Well, if Zurp is correct, then that explains all the scifi novels where the earth is protected by a really old space fleet. Being housed in the hollow moon and all, when the older species come a'calling, we just launch and destroy those guys. Easy peasy. Actually, believe it's good that we spend some money on space exploration, and not throwing missles at each other.....

If you believe Neil deGrasse Tyson, what we've spent, historically, on space exploration, is a drop in the bucket compared to our federal budget. Something like... if you take a dollar bill and cut it at the percentage of our budget for space exploration, you aren't even cutting into the ink on the paper - you're just shaving a tiny strip off the edge. By the way, I never fact-checked him, so believe it if you want to. Or don't.
Either way, I agree with you - more money should go to things like this, rather than a bunch of the other things we're doing.

2028 OH LB/EDGE Asa Burch (Verbal Offer)

Michigan has a solid presence here in Warren, but Harding has sent way more players to Ohio State. This century, the only two athletes from here that chose Michigan over Ohio State are Prescott Burgess & Mario Manningham. Go back a few more years and you can add Carl Diggs in 1999, who was the first & only player from Harding that the Wolverines got in the 90’s. Since 2003, we’ve even had three players walk on at Ohio State (Dimitrios & George Makridis and Patrick Wise).

Deaver Williamson Jr. and the late Davion Rodgers are both ‘10 Harding alum that played for Michigan, but neither were ever offered by Ohio State.

Admittedly, it will be tough for anyone to beat out Michigan for Asa, but the notion that most Harding athletes chose Michigan over Ohio State is false. In fact, Alfie (since you brought his name up) is very close with his cousin Dan “Boom” Herron, who ultimately chose Ohio State over Michigan.

My mistake by making it too general. By pipeline, I meant there seems to be some in roads from Harding to TTUN. The Harding grads to OSU are legendary.

I do expect for him to go to Scum.

I assume it’s $3.5M for 3 years. Still a lot for a guy who showed promise as a freshman but not production. Bugs me that people use $ amounts without timing.

I'm with you, and I find myself correcting people about it ALL THE TIME, IRL. So many fans believe the number that is reported is only for 1yr. Those numbers are almost always for 3, 4 or 5yrs.

Cleveland Guardians (2026 Season Thread)

Williams Delivers Scoreless Outing in Guardians Win
CLEVELAND — Gavin Williams tossed seven scoreless innings in an earlier April victory, allowing just one hit while battling control issues in the cold.
His performance helped the Guardians secure a win and highlighted the rotation's depth. Williams continues to develop as a key piece in Cleveland's pitching plans for 2026.
