Would expect that as an under-sized center (6'2"), maybe not so much in HS, she has learned how to box out for rebounds. connected those dots from her 5* ranking. Don't see enough of this in games to satisfy, so if she does this, will become my player favorite automatically. We watch the Fever, and see Sophie look for someone to box out before she looks for the ball. Do anticipate one thing...working against Elsa in practice will help make Elsa a better rebounder.

It's love to see her as and Kitts in the stretch 4 role. I didn't see the kind of lateral movement from Kitts to really stay out on the wing, at least post injury. We have some others in the 6'4 range that might fill those roles too but we could have an extremely competitive starting 5 this season for sure. Fingers crossed

Ohio State to Play in Outdoor Doubleheader with Cincinnati, Dayton and Xavier​

162969_h.jpg


For the first time ever, four of Ohio’s high-major basketball programs will gather on one court — without a roof.

On Oct. 7 at the Lindner Family Tennis Center, home of the Cincinnati Open, Ohio State, Cincinnati, Dayton and Xavier will play outdoor exhibition contests as part of the CareSource Invitational, an event to raise awareness and funds for mental health and suicide prevention.

“I think this is great. This is great for the basketball community in Ohio. And it’s been a long time coming,” Ohio State head coach Jake Diebler said on Thursday. “I’ve been vocal about this since I first got the job and wanted something like this to happen. There are so many moving parts. There are so many moving parts to make something like this happen. It takes a lot of people. And I’m just excited. Everyone got together to make it happen.”

The CareSource Invitational will feature Ohio State vs. Cincinnati with Dayton vs. Xavier as the tennis complex transforms into an outdoor basketball court.

In case of inclement weather, the games will be moved to UD Arena in Dayton, but Diebler’s hoping for nothing but sunshine on a fall Wednesday.

“Getting all four teams together and doing it in a venue like that, it’s exciting. You might as well try something different," Diebler said with a grin. “It’s going to be really early in the preseason. So it’ll be a great time for everybody to get some minutes and just see where you’re at relative to someone else. … I’m excited that it’s outdoors. I’ve never been a part of a live game outside like that.”

Diebler said it’ll be a fun reminder for coaches and players of their time growing up playing basketball in the driveway, at a park or on the school playground.

“We used to play outside all the time growing up. I know it won’t be the same surface as what I played on growing up, but I’m excited about it. You’ll have different things, right? Wind, all that stuff. But who cares? It’s going to be fun to play outside.”

It’ll also be nice to support a great cause, Diebler said.

PGA Tour (Official Thread)

Scottie Scheffler missed the cut at the Scottish Open, breaking his 78 made cuts in a row streak, which was the second longest streak of all time behind 90-something by Tiger. The current longest streak is now 27 by Matt Fitzpatrick. Meanwhile, on the LPGA Tour, world #1 Nelly Korda also missed the cut, breaking her 34 made cuts in a row streak. I imagine that if one had parlayed prop bets on both of those things happening, one would be in high cotton.

Edit: I asked the Google what the estimated parlay payout would have been for a $10 bet and, with explained assumptions and showing its arithmetic, it said $1,540.

Maybe perhaps the wrong thread but Atlanta will continue to host quarterfinal and semi-final games in the future:

2028-2031 - Mercedes Benz stadium will host CFP games

1). Beautiful, easy to get to stadium
2). Plenty of reasonable accomodations
3). Track record of hosting big events well
4). Airport is incredible

It looks like most of the article is behind a paywall. But it seems like they're pumping that up like no one else gets this privilege. All the article actually says it that the Peach Bowl is going to remain one of the 6 bowl games for the playoffs, just like the other 5 are staying there.

Ha - I just Googled the GPS coordinates of all of the 6 bowl games. And I get that AI is unreliable, so feel free to fact check my numbers. But guess which bowl game is farthest north?

Spoiler Alert:
Orange Bowl is at 25.777 Lat
Sugar Bowl is at 29.951 Lat
Cotton Bowl is at 32.779 Lat
Fiesta Bowl is at 33.527 Lat
Peach Bowl is at 33.755 Lat
Rose Bowl is at 34.161 Lat

For reference, Columbus, Ohio is at 39.962.
Ha. Look at a map. Draw a line from Pasadena through Atlanta. All 6 bowl games are on or below that line.
Also funny to me: In 12 years, 6 champions come from north of that line, and 6 come from south of that line. (I'm pretty sure that Clemson is just north of that line, so that's how I counted them.)

Anaheim matched. That was an impossible position to be placed in for them. In a few years, that contract might not look that awful as the cap keeps rising, but for now they have to make Carlsson the highest paid player in the game and he's never scored more than 70 pts in a season. :lol: They better hope he becomes a consistent 90-100 point guy, and I'm not sure he does.

Totally gums up their spending capability and they're gonna have to pay Gauthier, too, soon. Plus they have to cobble together a blue line. I'm not sure I wouldn't have taken the 4 firsts.

Moral of the story - lock up your young core early and don't be a jackass negotiating.

Even though he's an Ohio guy, even though he's couple of years out, the coaches still need to continue to recruit him. Along side their other duties, like getting new talent on board, still imagine that they have time blocked out to maintain contact. Not certain if it's every day/week like was before commitment, but certainly enough (however long that is) to keep them from feeling ignored. Probably an aspect of recruiting that goes unnoticed by us fans.

That's something Day & Co do a really good job at imo. They stay vigilant with committed recruits and don't count their chickens until the ink dries. I would imagine we stay in frequent contact here.

2028 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

calibuck
Makes sense. tOSU has had a long and storied history of National Titles, etc, while IU's was school's first. So alums are experiencing something that we Buckey alums take for granted. Kinda remember with NW went to Rose Bowl (recollect first trip ever), and all the Hollywood glitterati that were alums were tagged by the camera at the game, all with big grins on their faces. The take away is that not only is this not new to us, but has become an expectation each and every season.

Maybe, just Maybe - the quality of coaches has significantly ASCENDED in the B1G and outside of CKS, the coaching talent has dived in the SEC.

These are 2025 Numbers:




Source (Goggle Gemini)
Query: "amount of money spent in NIL on football in the BIG 10 vs SEC in 2024 and 2025"

Based on the numbers - SEC programs like Texas and A&M should be royally pissed off for overpaying for average results
The Dawgs spent 14mm less, won the league and failed to win the title. Not ideal, but not "broke boi football"

Poking fun at SEC teams is all well and good, but if you want me to bitch and moan about the quality of Georgia football, when we are in the best decade long stretch of my lifetime, you've come to the wrong place my dude.
