Personally, I might go with the Jazz, which is a great name for New Orleans but they should have changed it when they left because the Utah Jazz makes about as much sense as...the Los Angeles Lakers does.

I’m sure Kirby will get him up to speed soon.

Any name that starts with "Detroit" is pretty fucking dumb and should be detonated with as many people in the building as possible.

Meh, he got paid a lot more for his post O.J. celebrity than he was making as a cop.

The same.

I talked a bunch of shit about them during that series and I owe the team an apology. I didn't think they had that in them and they proved me wrong. Well done.......




.....even when they do get swept by the Knicks. Bunch of shitbird bums.

Cavs in 7.

Mystics is dumb, but they're in Washington with the Wizards. So... meh.
Dallas Wings? I hope their logo is a maxi-pad.

Oh... I don't mind the name "Wizards". But they should play quidditch at halftime.

Mick Walker believes we lead for Joshua Tyson. Still has visits to Cincy, WVU, and maybe a couple more schools. I like Tyson's game a lot. If we could pair him with LJ Smith, I'd love that backcourt. Tyson is a good defender, can play make, rebound, and has the length to guard multiple positions.

Knickerbockers

You might have led off with the winner.
While I think about it, let's add a second conversation about stupid abbreviations for team names. Somehow COL isn't Columbus - it's Colorado, leaving Columbus to CBJ.
And Las Vegas Knights is VGK. I guess it's Vegas Golden Knights. Still dumb.
CWS is Chicago White Sox. What are the Cubs? CC?

Okay, back to your question.
Knickerbockers is lame. Aren't those a kind of underwear?
Rays. Unless you only have guys named "Ray" on your team, pitch the name.
Phillies. I always thought a Philly was a horse. But that's Filly. This is dumb. (point to someone else for bringing this one up.)
Athletics. I never had a reason to not like the name. I just don't like it.
Guardians. I don't mind that Cleveland changed from Indians. I just don't like Guardians.
Braves. Hey, nerds, Cleveland changed. Man up and change, too. Or... man up and don't change. I don't really care.
Bills. Named after Buffalo Bill? Lame. Only have players named Bill. Do it.
Steelers. Just eff those napkin-tossers.
What the fuck is a Hoosier? Same with a Sooner. Dumb. (Sorry - I know the thread says "professional".)
If you're the Buccaneers, then fine. Don't be a "Buc". That's dumb.
If you're the Browns, then fine. Don't be a "Brownie". That's dumb. Also, don't have an elf on your football field.
If you're the Vikings, that's cool. Don't be a "Vike". That's dumb.
(Yes, I see the irony that I'm not including the Cavs here.)
The Nets? Really? Who gets to be the Hoops?
Someone else brought up that the Jazz are in Utah. That's dumb.
Same with Lakers in LA. Dumb.
Pelicans? Really? Who is going to be the Ducks?
Oh yeah - Ducks. Add that name to the list.
Maple Leafs? Meh. Why not be the Dandelions?
Utah Hockey Club? Is that real? Pick a name or GTFO.

I had to look up WNBA team names. Do they count as "professional"?
Sky??
Dream??
Fever??
Tempo??
Mystics is dumb, but they're in Washington with the Wizards. So... meh.
Dallas Wings? I hope their logo is a maxi-pad.

Jazz was a great name in New Orleans.

But it's pretty fucking stupid in Momromville USA.

Don't really need to. Lautar showed how it should be done basically got a 5 star at basement bargain

The staff is very high on Lautar. I think he's better than the staff even expected.

Yep. Monster. Like Birm said, in the last 10 years he's probably the biggest surprise player they've brought in with what they thought they were getting and what they actually got. Kid just works his butt off. He's going to be so good

Fessler visited with QB Dane Weber today. And is supposed to be back on Wednesday.
If I were a betting man, I would say that on that visit he will get an offer and an OV set up and will announce he will push his commitment date back.

Think this means he's almost certainly going to end up at Ohio State

KYBuck4858 22 hours ago
No not guaranteed. Marcus Freeman and ND are all over him too. I would say it’s safe to say we have a slight lead though. Him and his brother love OSU.
OV set up to OSU for 6/5, Michigan 6/12, and ND 6/19.

Keep an eye on Wyatt Smith’s teammate CB Jaden Carey. Been in Walt’s board forever. Both guys OV on 6/5. And Miami just flipped their second top50 CB this cycle, so we could win out here.
CB was not expected to be a high budget position this cycle. But then all of a sudden we have a ton of great options, so don’t need to reach.

Interesting visit happened this week. Bailey went up to go see Louisville TE commit D’Angelo White. He also visited OSU this spring too.
If I had to guess, if anything were to happen here, it wouldn’t be until the fall. Vince Marrow is Louisville’s GM. You might remember him from his UK days and recruiting OH hard. He made reckless investments ($) in guys from OH in the past that made no sense. With White randomly committing out of nowhere in Jan, I can see where Marrow promised him a ton. Maybe he backs out on that later.
