Finished Angel Down. Solid book. Same author as Whalefall, which I have not yet read but the movie trailer freaks me out.

I don't know where to put my thoughts but I wanted to get the feedback of NIL people on positional spend. Essentially, where programs should focus their money.

I have this working theory that you shouldn't really spend alot of money on Tight Ends. Since the likelihood of developing a player into a TRUE Brock Bowers/Kyle Pitts/Tyler Warren are low - you're better off recruiting and paying a 2-3 star recruit and growing them into a decent player.

The tight ends where they run 8 yards, turn around, catch the pass and fall backwards picking up an extra yard - but spend the majority of their time blocking and in pass pro.

IDK - just think the ROI is alot lower on TE's

So you‘d have been OK if he hadn’t nabbed that sideline throw on 4th and 14 in OT?

He made about 5 must have catches that year. I was in high-school during that season, and thats when I started to go grey. That season will never be topped.

They are collectors items for sports enthusiasts. Imagine paying all that money for a super bowl ticket and not even having a ticket!

Has anyone here used DIY financial planning and retirement calculators like Boldin, Projection Lab (formerly NewRetirement), etc.? I think I am going to give one of them a go, but wanted to see if there was any feedback on them from you all first, and if so, which is most preferred.

We use Boldin which was formerly called NewRetirement. We have a planner who maintains our portfolios in her software which is NOT Boldin. The primary reason for getting this was so we could war game more easily.

I've been very satisfied with it so far. It was nice to have a tool like that for answering my own questions as opposed to running to our hourly fee-based planner.

I'd highly recommend it. That said, look for a 30-day or so limited free trial to get a feel for these tools. Ultimately, it's a LOT of work to get everything set up. You'll want to only do that once.

Miami star Malachi Toney emulating his game after a great former Ohio State receiver​

Miami's most exciting offensive player is trying to be like this Ohio State great.



The Ohio State football program produces great receivers every year. More than any other program, the Buckeyes produce stars year after year at that position. In fact, they have now produced a first-round receiver in each of the last five seasons after Carnell Tate was taken fourth overall in April.

That will increase to six years next season once Jeremiah Smith is drafted. They have become the standard program against which all others are judged. Now, even current players at other programs are looking to emulate former Ohio State receivers because of how good they were.

Malachi Toney tries to emulate his game after former Ohio State receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba

While speaking on The Journey, Toney revealed that he is trying to model his game after Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Njigba was one of the best players for the Buckeyes before he went to the NFL. Toney believes that he has a lot of similarities to what JSN has to offer.
