Not only is the 5* talent there, he's very polished and advanced for his age. So he should make noise and get some early PT.

I will cover half of whatever is left over to the target...in other words, if BP membership donates $1,000 total and the target is $2,000, I'll donate $500.

Meanwhile their farm team the Grand Rapids Griffins are having a record setting season. Currently 26-1 on the season.

And since I made that post, John Gibson has rounded into something like his old form.

Wouldn't shock me if they added a Dman at the deadline but the Yzerplan is coming due finally.

they won again tonight and are 7-3 in their last 10.

I was checking this site out: https://moneypuck.com/teams.htm

It has a bunch of graphs that show different metrics. The Blue Jackets are a bit unlucky and tend to be slightly "bad" 5 on 5. I think if they make any more moves, they'll do something to bolster their front line scoring more than anything else at this point - but it wouldn't shock me to see the team stand pat too.

I'm feeling better about the Smith hire by the moment.

That post reminds me of an uncle I had.
If he bought cattle, you knew it was time to get rid of your cows and get into hogs.
If he bought hogs you knew it was time to get into sheep.

Sounds like your uncle liked getting into animals. YTISWWT.

With 11 games left I think if they can win 5 of them they probably get in

The pitfalls are @ Maryland and @ Ped State, they pretty much have to win those 2 games. Maryland is 159th in NET and Ped State is 129th

Win those 2 and you gotta win 3 between @ Wisconsin, Michigan, USC, Virginia, Wisconsin, @ Sparty, @ Iowa, Purdue and Indiana

Right now clearly on the bubble. 1-5 vs quad 1 with the 1 win vs a non tournament team @NW isn't a recipe for a bid.

Must get some quality wins and get them soon time is running out.

1-5 vs quad 1 (@NW)

Only win vs another potential tourney team was home vs UCLA and they are right there on the bubble too.

Looks like we are just waiting on...

Question is - is he fired after 1 season or 2?

Depends on what the homeless guy tells Jimmah to do

Lock's putting in the work, building the relationship. Love it

Whoever had the idea of putting “oven mits” on him during practice so he learned to play coverage without grabbing jersey is an absolute genius.

I doubt the NCAA can argue the amateur vs. professional angle. They may be arguing the total time from freshman year to now and counting the G-league years as effective CBB years.
They now allow NCAA eligibility for players who played and were paid in European professional leagues. They just reduce the eligibility years. If you played three years of professional ball in Europe, you will only get 2 years of NCAA eligibility.

Except that he's not going to transfer again after this season unless something goes seriously off of the rails. Plays in 26, starts in 27 and 28. Got to think that's both sides' intention with bringing him in.

If he’s as good as I think he can be, we won’t see him in 28.

Ohio State basketball team has a new opponent in CBS Sports Classic​

The Ohio State basketball team will face a new opponent in a key non-conference clash that they have every year.

The Ohio State basketball program has been taking part in one of the best in-season matchups for over a decade. The CBS Sports Classic started back in 2014, and the Buckeyes have played in that event every year. It's a tournament that showcases four of the best programs in the country.

From the start, the Classic involved the Ohio State Buckeyes, UCLA, Kentucky, and North Carolina. Then, UCLA joined the Big Ten, making the potential rotation with the Buckeyes and the Bruins a conference matchup. That's something that they wanted to avoid.

Now, the CBS Sports Classic will no longer feature the Bruins. Surprisingly, they have left instead of Ohio State. There is now a Big 12 team included in the CBS Sports Classic, as Kansas will now join the rotation. That means every P4 conference is represented now.

The Ohio State basketball team will face Kansas in CBS Sports Classic​

The Jayhawks will take on the Buckeyes in next year's version of the CBS Sports Classic. Ohio State will then take on Kentucky in 2027 and UCLA in 2028. Kansas will face the Buckeyes again in 2029. Next year's version of the Classic will take place in Madison Square Garden in New York.

Florida Man

My knees hurt just watching that, but he seems to have the right mindset and I'm looking forward to seeing him play for us.

Five-star wide receiver Kesean Bowman was set to announce his commitment on February 10, but has now pushed it back, stating that he just is not ready to commit just yet. Bowman narrowed his choices down to Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Oregon, Miami, and Ohio State. It seemed like Tennessee, his home state team, was leading the way, but Vandy and Miami are making a surge for the elite pass catcher.

Clendon Thomas, Hall of Fame RB for Oklahoma in 1950s, dies at 90​

Clendon Thomas, a Hall of Fame running back who helped Oklahoma win two national titles in the 1950s, has died. He was 90.

Chuck Bowman, Thomas' longtime friend and former college roommate, said Tuesday that Thomas died of pneumonia on Monday night in Tulsa.

Thomas played for the Sooners from 1955 to 1957 under coach Bud Wilkinson. He helped them win national titles in 1955 and 1956 and was a unanimous All-American in 1957. He was a significant contributor to Oklahoma's 47-game winning streak and helped the Sooners win three Big 7 championships.

Bowman, also 90, said he met Thomas when they both played in a high school All-Star football game in 1954, and they remained close from then on.

The Oklahoma City native was inducted into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame in 1995 and the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame in 2011.

"Clendon Thomas was one of the great standard-bearers of Oklahoma football and a cornerstone of one of the most legendary teams our game has ever seen," NFF chairman Archie Manning said in a statement. "His excellence on the field, combined with his integrity and leadership off it, exemplified what it means to be a College Football Hall of Famer. He leaves behind a legacy that will endure. We are deeply saddened to learn of his passing."
