They are already crying that not as many Utah and BYU players have entered the portal as they were expecting

Imagine booking on a mass influx of players from Big 12 teams that couldn't even win the big 12 to drive your "success"

I could see Stefanski in Atlanta

So was Sherrone, but it fooled the kid once.

nice

What an absolute debacle for Celtic.

i didn't take last, thats a win - wheres my participation ribbon?

had several meets recently, but Saturday was a HUGE meet, like 26 schools or something like that, considered a primer meet for the sectionals in a few weeks - kids could wear tech suits, ect. my son has been busting his arse in the 50m trying to break a wall - been shaving .2 to .3 off each week. went into the meet needing .39 off to break his goal - he shaved legs, arms, face the night before, suited up and CRUSHED his time by 1.88 seconds in the 50, also dropped 2.2 on his backstroke and 1.2 in his breast (for the relay)! Super proud of him and his hard work

South Florida

praying they find answers and can get her on the right track, glad your daughter is fine

He's going to be amazing; I think a year of S&C is going to do wonders in pretty much every aspect of his game. He'll get faster, quicker, and stronger to go together with what he already has which is great rb instincts.

The sunshine pumpers were telling the minions that they had a legit chance at North Texas WR Wyatt Young

Who has now predictably to everyone else followed his coach to Oklahoma State.

Well said and I agree the pressure at OSU is for sure different. As always I’d imagine there’s a balance to be had with portal or HS.

I will say I would’ve no doubt wanted Hemby over our two back ups lol.

But would you have said that going into the season, without the pleasure of hindsight?

And there is a balance, but fans have to realize that sometimes the guys in the Portal won't have the big names with stars next to them. And that's where the issue lies between fans and actual team. Going into the season everyone talked about Ethan Onianwa being the next great OT at OSU, and Phillip Daniels was an afterthought who wouldn't contribute for another year... Logan George(63) and Beau Atkinson(15) is who OSU got at DE in the Portal, IU got Stephen Daley (84) and Kellan Wyatt(91), I don't think anyone would've wanted that swap before the season. In hindsight it looks bad, but we don't have that luxury in real time. I doubt any OSU fan would've wanted Day to pursue a Cal QB transfer, over former 5star and Bama transfer Sayin. Some guys pan out, and others don't. But the transfers you only have a year for them to pop, whereas HSers have multiple years, and their bodies can still develop and they can still be taught some good practice and work habits
